Post by: UberDemon on November 07, 2022, 10:25:19 AM: Would be a great addition. I remember this one from my old Bill Gunston books published by Salamander.

This is the classic skin I remember seeing:

Post by: Type83Fighter on November 08, 2022, 01:32:31 AM: Ever had miscellaneous parts laying around from various kits and tried to make a new plane out of it ;D?

The engine cowling of a Fairey Battle, the wings & forward fuselage of a Bf-109, the tail section of a Bf-110, and the cockpit section of a IL-2.

This one will be a fun one to try on various missions. Thank you as always for your creations!

Post by: Mission_bug on November 17, 2022, 01:51:20 PM: Great choice Mike, I like it. 8)

I made some skins for someone’s campaign many years ago, maybe Gaston I cannot remember now, and I think I used a B-5N to portray this bird at the time!

The aircraft shows in game, ModAct 5.30, however, no propeller blades:

If I use air start then all is okay but, on the ground, it will not even start so I guess the code needs to see the prop, strange.
Thing is it shows in the QMB screen, any thoughts please is there something I should have?

Take care and be safe.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Post by: Zflyer48 on April 13, 2023, 08:25:07 AM: Back to work on this and not much of a skinner. But for the Swiss, I will have this done
this year.

Want to add Rockets, but I could not find any data if rockets were used. May add as fictional.

Post by: Gaston on May 25, 2023, 03:09:57 PM: Thank you, Zflyer ! Impatiently waiting for your model to be finished (and hoping for some skins too...) ! Just an info for you : if you want to be historically correct, andf as far as I know, the C-3603 never carried rockets. Only bombs.

Anyway... downloaded this beta and installed it in my BAT. Flies quite nice. But I saw 2 problems :

-gunner does not shoot at enemy fighters (but can see the MGs moving),
-pilot's cockpit has quite a strange look : seems there is a superposition, as you can see :

Post by: Zflyer48 on June 06, 2023, 07:10:24 AM: Have fixed the cockpit view.
But have not been able to fix the rear gunner not firing problem. I am at a loss
as to where in Java the trouble is and what to add or delete.
Need help.
