 ;D  Well done!  Thank you !

P.S.   I think it would be nice to have a little tweak to the attachment of the lower wings and the horizontal fletching... they should widen out into a truncated cone shape before fitting with the fuselage.

There will be another version of the FK 52. This I will name FK 52(F) for the Finnish model.
Will have different Nose, Keel/Rudder, and Blister.  Working on the latter two.
Both versions will be released at the same time.

Looking forward Zflyer. Quote from Wiki:
During the Winter War, the Swedish Count Carl Gustav von Rosen purchased two Koolhoven aircraft and gave them to the Finnish Air Force . The aircraft were flown to Finland on January 18, 1940 with codes KO-129 and KO-130. In March 1940 they bombed and fired on Soviet troops attacking across the ice towards Virolahti. During the Winter War, they totaled about 15 combat flights. Both FK.52 aircraft were hit by enemy fire.

In 1941, the planes were used by LeLv 6 in the Hanko area. Both aircraft were destroyed during the Continuation War , KO-130 was lost during a leaflet-dropping mission over Hanko and made a forced landing 80 km south of Tallinn, Estonia on August 16, 1941.Both crew members died in the crash. Estonian Forest Brothers guerrillas burned the plane and buried the crew in Velise .

The second plane, KO-129, was destroyed in an accident in 1943. The pilot jumped out and survived. The plane crashed north of the village of Pernaa in Kauhava .

The plane's nickname was Kolho , "clumsy".

Delete older versions and air.ini

Still some minor issues and what ever is reported before Alpha.
Templates for both to follow.
Enjoy

I need a little more than "it does not show". What does the Logfile show?

Post by: Frankiek on March 14, 2023, 09:46:32 AM

Most likely that the plane is not showing up in the Arming screen of QMB even if it is selected from the drop down list in QMB main screen

@dsawan
I know you are new to this site... you have never seen the use of LOG posts...  ]violent1[

- Read how to get the log here (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,13457.0.html), and the instant log here (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,19308.0.html) (Except for BAT which contains InstantLog).

- When you want to post only the relevant parts from the log
read here (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=39780.0) how to do this. (code option!)

- If you want to post all lines of the logfile we suggest to use https://pastebin.com/
to paste your log and then paste the link here which you got from them.
Read and see here (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,39780.msg627220.html#msg627220) how to do this.

Note: It is preferable to provide the LOG in its entirety!

Thank you very much, Zflyer 8), the airplane flies good in Vp modack, but I have a few bugs,
in QMB after loading the mission, when I turn on the aircraft preview, only FK-52(F) is visible despite the FK-52 setting on the red side and FK-52(F) on the blue side,

there is no difference in the appearance of the FK-52 and FK-52(F) engine cover,

Post by: Zflyer48 on March 14, 2023, 08:36:19 PM

Both planes work off the same FM. They have nothing to do with which meshes display only flight
behavior.
Meshes are control by which air.ini is called. I have made two version of the FK 52: FK 52 and FK 52(F).
There two air.ini in the Read Me.

FK_52         air.FK_52   2    NOINFO   du01  SUMMER    This for the FK 52

FK_52(F)      air.FK_52F   2    NOINFO   du01  SUMMER  (Corrected one for FK 52(F))

I can not duplicate mentioned problem.

Screenies show both versions in QMB red and blue select from my computer.
