Can the class files for the stationary be listed?

Class for stationary :
4B1236767099A8BA
661E8B96AD406272

If you have a "hexa editor" (HEdit or others !) it is easy to see the contents of files and see their function!

With this new bird , that we've waited for , and new skins we can at last fly middions from the old Navy flick Dive Bomber:









But someone has to model Errol Flynn & Fred MacMurray pilots!

Oh! 
First time I see pics from this movie I never heard of, they never showed it here in Austria or on Channel-TV... but when I see the color pics of the Devastators and Buffalos I will have look where to find it ..

Seeing the actors and the date it was made/released (1941), you should be able to guess that such movies are not really suitable for consumption outside the US, and even then ... these war-time war movies are usually so overbearingly propagandist in tone that they hold little for modern audiences ... aside from possible footage of planes, tanks or newsreel inserts ... that's why Disney (unsuccessfully thanks to the Internet) has tried to keep its war-time cartoons out of circulation. The same applies to the Loony Tunes series from the war years ... but at least these last were always so whacky that their war-time whackiness is sort of in character ...

Actually not so much with this particular one ,directed by Micheal Cutiz before the entry of the US into WW2 it deals somewhat disappontedly & ( not on purpose ,humorously) with flight medicine.high altitude sickness etc. It is full of painless cliches,but it has some of the most beautiful pre-war aircraft foot that you will see anywhere.More's the pity:there must have been a lot left on the cutting room floor..It is good fun nevertheless-like Top Gun will be in say...40 years.
Word to the wise :don't review waht you haven't seen...

[agracier]

It wasn't a review, just a generalization. Even with little gems of war-time movies like Buck Privates or other Abbott and Costello in the service movies, you will not get much of a response from non US audiences ... so it's no wonder these type of movies are not programmed on non-US stations ...

The Disney and Looney Tunes cartoons I have seen and while funny in a way WWII audiences could appreciate, now they do appear to be so overly propagandist as to be almost embarrassing ... almost, but not quite .... you can never be embarrassed by Daffy Duck ... only laugh along ... ha ha.

Nice screenshots/photos btw ...

I think I found a bug with this aircraft ...

I am running DBW 1.7.1 over 4.10.1.

I set up a mission in FMB. USSCarrier Generic with one flight of TBD-1's. Basically what happens is the planes never take off from the Carrier. I also tried this with the USSEssex. The AI would go up to the catapult but they would never take off. The only carrier I have successfully had them takeoff from was the USSCasablanca.

Maybe this is an issue with CTO mod, or DBW, or Devistator ... I don't know. But the AI will just sit there at fully reved engine and never release chocks or activate the catipult.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I have seen this issue too, when attempting to use the Devastators with Lonestar's new Coral Sea 42 campaign.

A quick update on payloads.
The Devastator carried THREE 500 lb bombs, as you can see in these diagrams:

I just bought this book, that confirms the payload:

I read the post action report on the Marshall Islands raid by the Enterprise, and clearly states that each plane carried three 500 lb bombs.

I hope that a new payload will be added!!
