Title: C-47 Flareship [4.09] [4.10]
Post by: Checkyersix on March 19, 2010, 11:32:42 AM

Presenting the new C-47 Flareship.

During the Korean war, Flareships were used to illuminate enemy positions and vehicles for attacking aircraft at night.

This plane is mainly intended for AI use, although it is flyable. Its only loadout is 30 Mk. 24 flares.

Unlike most flare carrying aircraft, this flareship will release its flares one at a time (once every 30 seconds).

You can set multiple ground attack waypoints and the flareship will drop a flare or two at each point.

This way you can provide long-term illumination at night, without using multiple aircraft :D

Special Thanks to:

Flakiten for his wonderful flare effect.
Beowolff for testing.

Update:
=====================================================

- Added the Mk.24 flare to the folder, in case you don't already have it.

CY6,

Thanks again mate, another great mod, they are being churned out at the moment. Hate to ask again (making a lot of requests at the moment) but do you think you may be able to make a JU-88 flare bomber, they were used to illuminate RAF Bomber streams? some info here

Updated with the Mk.24.

It should work without the Neptune now.

Excellent! I have all of the other C-47 mods installed and even though this post advises the Flareship is mainly for AI, imagine my surprise to find this one perfectly flyable, with a C-47 cockpit and armed with flares, Bloody Marvelous!

Well.........

I downloaded this...... and then went through the usual procedure for installing 'mods'.

Wow........ now when I try to either start a mission or go to qmb........ the result is something like ........ loading simulation...... and then it drops back to the desktop.

I made a restore point before installing this mod..... as I do with all additions to games. But, going back to pre 'flareship' doesn't make any difference.

So I went into the 'program'.......... in 'mods' I deleted the 'folder'........ in air.ini I deleted the lines for the ac type..... and the same with anywere else I could find anything related to this mod...... no luck.........

I"ve now gone back through at least a dozen restore points for IL2 related mods and there is no change..........

Any ideas?

I have it and had fun with it in a few trial missions with it

Yes, removing the mod folder and a/c from the air.ini should remove any conflicts caused by this mod. The problem must be somewhere else.

Hello....

I agree............ there must be something else wrong.

It was probably just a coincidence,that I was installing a mod at the time.

But, just in case, I'll do a system scan for anything 'malicious' that might have hitched its way into my system.

This is a 'new one' to me. I've never seen this type of error before.

Thanks for the feedback guys, confirms what I thought, onto the scans and a restore of an earlier configuration.
