Title: 101's TB2D-1
Post by: SAS~Bombsaway on August 04, 2020, 08:46:18 AM

From 101's slot request.... https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,64580.0.html

CWatson has taken point on this project as I'm having a computer issue with a Java install. Here are some pics from field trials on Iwo....

My favorite thing about this aircraft is the fiendishly complicated description of the propeller.

The propellers it uses are 8-bladed Hamilton-Standard Super Hydromatic contra-rotating individually fully-feathering constant-speed propellers. It’s the best description/explanation I’ve ever seen.

Sorry guys. I have been really busy with work and home life so I had to put this on hold. I'll ask CWatson if he can finish up.

This project has stalled for now. Real life has me busy. Maybe someone will pick it up?

what needs to be done to get it to a release state if I may ask?

Well thanks to SAS~Storebror " Mike " who very kindly offered to get this bird off the back burner and into the sky and let me tell you he really did some great work. He added hit boxes, cut apart the gears to give them animation, flight model and set the wings to hold their rockets while the wings are folded!!! ]salut[

CWatson had done a lot of work to this earlier but had to put this off due to other projects but he had laid the keel to getting this started and did a great job as well.

Me? Well, I got busy with real life and work so I don't take any credit fro this one.

101 supplied the model.

I believe there is a bit more testing and maybe some tweaking but it won't be much longer.

If someone would like to make a default skin, just roundels, that would be a help as well.

now that birds looks like a killer! is there any chance that you add a radar pod as a loadout option and the radar cockpit to this bird as well? it would surely have been equipped with radar if it had joined the fleet...

Post by: SAS~Bombsaway on June 25, 2021, 01:01:03 PM

Maybe in later updates. Right now this version is almost finished. Later, if I can find a 3d guy that would help, I would like to see the turret and belly bath gun added.

Take your time :) being a Navy nut, I appreciate each and every new naval aircraft when they get released...
