**********************************
Early jets' canopies: roundness
**********************************

As asked in a request by Boyan, here it comes.





For the moment it's just the MiGs and the Panther that get some more polys here and there.

The MiG 15/17 got a rounder canopy only, while the Panther was up for some sort of a facelift, with new canopy, reworked frontal section and a new pair of wingtip tanks; it was a project i already started back in last year, but as things got in the middle i never found the way to complete and release it.

I want to highlight that the greatest part of the credits should go to the people that created these little gems and in particular to the two great modders that originally made them first: PeterD for the MiGs and Flakiten for the F9F2.

Instructions: unzip and add the folder in your #DBW mods folder (this mod has been created and tested only in a DBW environment).

Download:

S!

Thank you Red Fox for making my request into reality! Unfortunately, only MiGs work for me, Im on 4.09, UP 2.01... Tried putting F9F folder to load first, nothing, tried disabling the F9F mod with freddy cockpit  so only the stock F9F is left (wouldnt work of course, it had a P-80 cockpit, silly me), still no luck. The plane itself doesnt show up when clicking on it in quick mission.... Do you have any suggestions? Is it complicated to make them 4.09 compatible?

Btw, while reading Corky Meyers Flight Journal (awsome test pilot book) today, I got to a part where he flies the F9F prototype for the first flights, and I thought how cool would it be if Red Fox released F9F cockpit today, and guess what I saw when I came back home and got here... Thank you!

Thank you so much. Little things do mean alot. Really appreciate the little update for the F9F. BTW, I noticed that the F9F pilot never wears his O2 mask, no matter the altitude. Anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Any fix? Any help appreciated. Once again, swell job.

Mistake on my part with hier coordinates, download again the pack.

In 4.09, or other modacts, where you've manually added the F9F mod, i guess you should just take the files in the F9F2 Overhaul folder and overwrite the previous files contained in your original F9F folder. Let me know if the trick works

Thanks a ton Redfox! Nice addition!

[Griffon_301]

no problem here on my install; had to battle a similar issue yesterday with the Corsair addon canopies in a DBW 1.71 install with the new TFM; finally solved it by renaming it with a ! in front of the name;
did the same here with both mods and they work just fine;

cheers

Thank you all for the work.

[duffys tavern]

Thank you very much. The O2 mask really dresses that baby up. This is all much appreciated.

The F9F seems to work ok in 4.12, RedFox, but not with this addon.
