Title: Savoia Marchetti SM 84
Post by: Dandolo513 on November 20, 2023, 04:54:36 AM
Hallo Gents,
here it is  the SM 84.
All my thanks to CWatson for classes, FM and an huge number of suggestions.
To Stanislao, the promoter and first supporter for this plane, many thanks for the skins.

The plane has a loadout the should be very near to what it has been.

With Stanislao we have introduced two skins:
nr 1 a summer skin belonged to 256th Squadriglia-Aerosiluranti;

nr 2  a winter skin belonged to 50th Squadriglia-Aerosiluranti

The 2 skins are inside the folder.

Stanislao is working on others skins.

Thank you. Nice aircraft. Just to confirm - no bomb aimer's station or bombsight? Pretty much limits it to torpedo attacks. Still a nice plane, though.

Hello,

Thanks for this very nice bird. However with the last version, my game freezes now... that was not the case with the first one..  Could you check the issue?  maybe too many polys on the model ?.
Thanks for your help

Hi Dandolo513 here the log.txt

By switching to Autopilot to ON/OFF several times I could fly the plane but sometimes it continues to freeze as soon as they are ground objects visible...

The log. txt

Then i can see some issue with skins
Title: Re: Savoia Marchetti SM 84
Post by: ansons on November 22, 2023, 11:25:11 AM
Yes I removed the first mod... I cannot restore it...

It seems that several hooks are missng. The log.txt contains the following lines

Hook '_12,7_03' NOT found in mesh of class com.maddox.il2.objects.air.SM84
INTERNAL ERROR: HierMesh: Wrong chunk idx (-1, N:223)

and several times this one
om.maddox.il2.engine.ActorException: Hook: _Engine2ES_01 not found

Title: Re: Savoia Marchetti SM 84
Post by: ansons on November 22, 2023, 11:28:10 AM
OK no problem you can PM me
For you information, each time the game freezes, I can get the control again by switching to autopilot ON and OFF, sometimes I had to set the Automatic Level switch to ON to avoid the loss of control... Otherwise a great airplane...
 
Title: Re: Savoia Marchetti SM 84
Post by: Dandolo513 on November 22, 2023, 11:41:40 AM
sent the 12,7_03_D0 to check hook issue
Title: Re: Savoia Marchetti SM 84
Post by: ansons on November 22, 2023, 11:58:26 AM
Thanks Dandolo513, I put this .msh file, the error line has disappeared from the log.txt but there is still this one:
com.maddox.il2.engine.ActorException: Hook: _Engine1ES_02 not found

The last remaining missing hook... if you can PM it to me, it will be fine
Thanks

Hallo flyers,
after a "tuning" i post the update to SM 84.

Credits to :

Epervier , He have done  the fixes and improvements, new rounded wheels, Engines Hooks have been fixed 'smoke, oil, burn, for Engines 1, 2, 3, and EF and ES for Engines 2 and 3, and the "plane" folder has been cleaned too .

Mick have installed Ranwers pilots/gunners instead of stock ones and helped me on finding ugly views and various  issues.

Obviously a mention to Ranwers and his stupendous  pilots.

Stanislao , the mentor of this plane, for his skins and suggestions.

Hubberranz for his 1024 skins.

Enjoy the SM84

https://www.mediafire.com/file/t9wv5i2mf0y24cm/Savoia+Marchetti+SM+84+bis.rar/file

The previous mod' s folder  must be eliminated

PS: i have re uploaded the plane because i have found a see through effect on nacellL.. Solved

Hi Dandolo513

I have installed the new version after removing the old one, but I still get the same issue: the game freezes except when I activate Autopilot .
Here below the log. txt file.  2 hooks are still missing   _Engine2ES_01 and _Engine1ES_02
Having taken a look at the SM84(Multi) I could not find the corresponding .msh files. Can you provide them ? Thanks in advance

S.Ansons

Here the log.txt

Hallo ansons,
the 2 hooks You mentioned and showed on log file don't exist as You can see on pic

Have You tried other QMB missions?

What IL2 version are You playing?


I really have not idea how to help You.

Hi Dandolo,

I am playing BAT 4.2.2 Hotfix 4 .
I renamed the plane folder as "!                       Savoia Marchetti  SM 84 bis" to put the it at the top of the mod list , that way IL2 will read it first. I still get the game freezing with the log.txt file growing due to the same error message regarding missing hooks....
Maybe the freeze is due to the writing of the log.txt with all these error messages...
By setting autopilot ON and OFF  I get the control of the plane back till next freeze...
Maybe an IL2 guru can investigate what happens...

I created the mission in FMB with a single SM-84 plane...

Here part of the log.txt

Post by: ansons on November 23, 2023, 11:10:16 AM
Hi Dandolo, Yes. They do show up in game.
I checked if it could be a conflict with other mods but by putting the SM84 on the top of the mod list, I believe there is nothing which could create the issue..
I still get the missing hooks error messages. When playing with Autopilot ON/OFF I can manage to fly the plane...
Maybe the plane model has too many polys and my computer cannot manage it ?

Hi Dandolo513,

Just to inform you, I found the causes of the game freezing and missing hooks error messages in my log.txt.
After screening my mods, I found two mods by WxTech which created the issue:
!0_Wx_Tech_Aircraftstate_classes_BAT
!0_Wx_Tech_full_throttle_smoke_mod_BAT_412+

Once theses mods removed from the WAW#3 folder, no more freeze nor error messages in the log.txt. I can now fly the aircraft normally.
Great airplane! Thanks !
Have a nice day.
Best regards

Yes, there are really only two Italian bombers missing from IL2 now: The Caproni Ca 135, which became Hungary's most important bomber on the eastern front, and the SM 79 JR - the jumo-powered version of the Sparviero widely used by Romania against the Soviet Union.
A few other missing aircraft come to mind all of which have some use in campaigns:
 
The Amiot 351/354 a French fast recon bomber, used by two 2 groups of the French airforce in 1940.
The Blenheim V used in the North Africa and Burma
The Kawasaki Ki-56 - used to drop paratroopers over Sumatra in 1941 (resembles the Lockheed Hudson with a fatter fuselage)
The Ju-88S and T used as high-speed 'pfadfinder' aircraft from 1943

Post by: HaFu1939 on November 27, 2023, 09:21:20 PM
Speaking about the Ju 88 family… Ju 88H? I know we’re speaking about some twenty planes, but there is a chance for long reconnaissance missions and sometimes we have planes which actually weren’t built.
The same goes for Ju 290…
Maybe sometimes?
Until then, thanks for your great work 😊
