Dear ssn637 !!

Thank you so much.

I have confirmed that P-47D and P-47D-27 are normal in BAT 4.0 with your position value.

Thank you again for your hard work...

... Beaufighter Mk10 (Multi1) with American pilot/gunner ...

Stock pilot :

Ranwers pilot/gunner :







... I edited the mat files so as not to need a Texture folder, so all needed textures are now included in the plane folder ... 

The missing stick by Epervier was also added ...

... just a few screens as a teaser, as there is still a lot of work to do (Masks as usual) ... 


Well, I was crazy enough to try and change the ... 11 crew members of the B-24D 140 CO and put Ranwers ones instead ... 

I had to "cheat" and use the standing gunner from the Albacore, since there is no US standing gunner (or bomber, or radio guy)

And as for now, I still don't have a solution for the tail and belly gunners, as I couldn't find a gunner with the needed stance (sitting on his ass with folded legs) ... 

[ssn637]

I'm speechless! Brilliant work MIck!

[stanislao]

    I am astounded!  You are really doing it!   What magnificent work is this?
I really hope the great modders can give you some help with the missing gunners, I think the most complicated one will be the one for the bulb under the fuselage... 

[Mick]

... you should check your mail box ... 

[Mick]

... OK guys, here is the link :

Credits are the same as usual ...

Pilots & gunners : Ranwers

Correct Masks Attaching values : Epervier

https://www.mediafire.com/file/vulf4cfomciyycn/New+pilots+B24D.7z/file

If someday I find a solution for the tail and belly gunner, that are still stock in this link, I'll release a fix ...

[stanislao]

    Many thanks Mick, in my 4.12 installation they work fine, now we just have to hope for Ranwers help in finding the two US machine gunners in a sitting and crouching position...   

[Mick]

... well, we have that French saying that goes :

"la nuit porte souvent conseil !" ("night often is a good adviser !")

So this morning I tried replacing the ugly cartoonish stock B-24D tail gunner with ... the SM81B belly gunner ...! 

Yes, Stany, I dared do it ...! 

Everything went well, except the new Italian gunner was bending forward way too much ... 



I was about to give up that silly idea, when my ass saviour, Epervier, came out of nowhere, and in less time it takes a French athlete to be eliminated from the Olympics, put the Italian gunner in the correct position ...! 



Well guys, I am quite aware that the B-24D crew is more and more "international", since it now has USAF, RAF, and Regia Aeronautica pilots/gunners, but who gives a shit ...? 

So if you don't care about the tail gunner being of Italian extraction, then here is the link ... 

Everything you need is inside the link, you need to replace the previous folders (B24 and Textures) with this one ...

EDIT  EDIT  EDIT :

Many THX to Stany for pointing me to the lateral gunners, who were standing too low ... 

Here is the fix :

Open the hier.him, and edit Pilot5 and Pilot6 Attaching values like that :

Everybody knows that plenty of Italians migrated to the US at the beginning of the XXth century

[Mick]

... true, but none of them ever wore an Italian flying kit aboard a B-24D ... 

[stanislao]

  Perhaps you are mistaken...  When the Italians left Libya at the beginning of 1943, the Americans found a lot of abandoned equipment in the warehouses... you know how it is, in war nothing is wasted...!
