works flawlessly in Vp Modpack; A huge thank you to 101tfs and the whole team.

Ps. I have one question; nationality markings work only for Ar-240A, Please would it be possible to replace numeric markings with alphabetical characters?
Best regards,
Piotrek

Oooh, very nice, I've enjoyed playing around with it so far. Lives up to what I've read about it  8)


On a side note, is there a way I could go about editing it to use the He-219 pit? I realize that it's not entirely accurate, but the Me-210/410 pit feels kinda off. Just wondering

No plans to do it at this time.

Hi CWatson, Thank you for the correction, I think it will be more historically correct, markings work well but the order of letters should be reversed eg.T5+HH.

Isn´t this thing about lettering+numbers in a skin file?
That can easily be corrected.
I will look into it if that is possible.
 At the moment I am making a new skin-template for all the series. It will have alot more details which are missing.

Title: Re: Arado 240 s beta
Post by: Piotrek1 on July 25, 2018, 04:00:44 AM
This is a good way, Max, but I often use blank skins and markings in the selection window.

New skin-template for the Arado-240-A  is almost finished....  The dificult parts are now done, It´s about 80% finished at the moment.
 It still needs more effects painting and some rivets.


I have deleted the images.

The next phase will be the final version... with new skins  ;)

Just out of curiosity, what it is the texture/file used for moving propellors? This aircraft, the He-112, He-219 and the Ta-154 all have missing props once the engines start. Nothing in the logs (sadly) to figure this out.

Working fine in my 412,2 SAS 5,3:  I do see the rotating props.

I had some fun shooting these nice interesting planes down and I was wondering why I don't get any smoking engines, leaking fuel tanks or other internal damage. Then I noticed that internal collision box names start with .xx in these meshes whereas they usually start with just xx before module name. Then I opened Notepad++ and just replaced all .xx with xx in *.msh files inside 3do/plane of this mod with find in files tool. After that engines can smoke and fail when hit, and I also got fuel leaks and fires, so that fixed damage model. Maybe these are even a bit too fragile now, so you can test a bit more before releasing damage fix.

That needs to be done with the BE2C. It's almost indestructible. May as well be made of steel.

Hi sosezi,
Small misunderstanding, it's just a default skin, with the difference that I used an individual aircraft letter code available in Forgotten Countries mod, I enriched it only with the code the unit Wetterkundungsstaffel Ob.d.L. (Stammkennzaichen code T5+HH :P) by adding appropriate lines in the modified version of Forgotten Countries:

(https://i.postimg.cc/tJ2vBY19/Feb-24-2019-6-42-10-PM.png) (https://postimages.org/)
Although the Ar-240 planes are probably more associated with the reconnaissance unit 3./(F) Aufklärungsgruppe Ob.d.Lw with the letters code GL+XX on the fuselage.

Using the Forgotten Battles mod the only thing we can get is to add a new squadron (letter code) and unit emblem (if the aircraft author has included this in this particular model),
 As for the above skins I do not have the skills to do them, you would have to write a corresponding request in the SkinRequest section.

As for the emblem 3./(F) Aufklärungsgruppe Ob.d.Lw it is not possible to add it via Forgotten Battles mod , some planes have this option and some do not, this one does not have, unfortunately I can not explain it correctly.

once again I would like to say Thank you 101tfs, CWatson and Co. for creating this plane.
Best regards,
Piotrek

Hello 101tfs,

as the creator of this beautiful machine -what does it take to use the Forgotten Countries-mod with markings on a blank Arado? Is this a big undertaking?
I fiddled around with a blank skin and would love to fly it with different countries markings...

Thanks you for an answer and have a great day!
