Martin Mariner engine cowling issue in BAT Pathfinder
« on: February 12, 2018, 11:22:44 AM »

This is a very small glitch & may have been already addressed. I tried out the Matin Mariner for fun last night ( BTW very nice exterior modeling but...) the port engine appears to be missing at least in the '43 model.The spinning prop is there but no engine in the cowling. I probably won't be using this plane so its not that much of a problem for me, but I thought someone might want it brought to their attention?
9 BTW; I couldn't get "markings" ( stars & bars,)  to work and wondered if anyone had done any skins for this pretty portly flying boat?
Thanks! ;)

I tested the Mariner. Both engines are present but on all three versions, I get an absurd drop in frame rates to single digits. Replace with another aircraft and the frame rate returns to normal.

When flying, go to outside view and hit Shift+Tab and there may be some errors  such as missing gear chunk and others. When such errors are not cleared up by the modder it can cause FPS drop.

Not an issue for me, since I don't use the aircraft and just tested it, but after hitting shift + tab, there is an endless string of "WARNING; TRender Manager Triangle List_Projective Shadow () internal buffer overload. Too many vertexes per shadow hier mesh". So something amiss with this one.

Hello,

To find "the port engine appears to be missing" about the PBM-3C '43 model:

open and copy in the hier_PBM3: the [BLOCK_L] with mesh, Parent and Attaching
 
and paste in your hier_PBM3C, just after your [GONDOL_L] :D

Et voila!

Yes, it works. Apparently the BLOCK_L is missing from PBM-3C Hier file.

Simple as that.

Cheers.
