Superb RealDarko, thank you very much.





Riptide_One, I had a CTD when I installed in DBW so the mod would appear to be set
for 4.09, just needed to take the FM file out of the 4.10 folder and paste over the one
in the mod.

Works perfectly. ;)

Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

Hey Pete,

That worked like a charm! Flying the Hawk-III in DBW now. Thank you very much for your help.

Ok, where did you get those great skins? I really would like to start a skin collection for this plane.

RealDarko,

I've flown the Hawk-III and on behalf of us "Sino-Japanese War" buffs, I want thank you for adding this fine flying machine to IL-2:). Exceptional work!

Here's my wingman and I over Anhui Province:

Cheers,

RealDarko,

Yes, that's agacier's Hankow Map. One of my favorites. Wish we had more China maps.

Cheers,

RealDarko,

I am happy to say that your Hawk-III has what it takes to bring down the A5M.



Having flown your Hawk-III a little, I would like to offer you a few comments for your consideration as possible revisions. Note that I am not a modder and I do realize that this is a Frankenplane which may impose some limitations on refinements that can be made. Please know that my intent here is to provide constructive comments and that I do respect the amount of work and skill that you put into this plane to be able to share it with the IL-2 community. Also, I do respect the right of the modder to decide what the final configuration of his mod will be.

1) I found a small gap on the left, underside of the plane, but, its not very noticeable in my opinion.



The right, underside has no gap.



2) The default skin includes Chinese roundals. When you check "Markings on" for a given plane, the additional roundals that game puts on the plane do not align with the roundals included with the default skin.



The Chinese roundal is also partially visible when a different nationality is selected.



Also, the default skin includes the number "80". Since the game will put a number on the plane if "Markings on" is selected, I would recommend that numbers not be put on default skins.



There is a work around for this. After re-reading your correspondence with Mission Bug, I realized that the skins for the I-15bis work on your Hawk-III.

China:


Spanish Civil War:


3) There is a bulge in the bottom of the Hawk-III that disappears when it if viewed from a distance.

Close up:


Further away:


4) First of all, thank you very much for including a stationary plane. It's very much appreciated.

The stationary aircraft skin is the same as the flyable aircraft's skin. Here again, in my opinion, it would be better to let the game put numbers and roundals on the stationary planes.



Once again, thank you very much for the Hawk-III!

Cheers,

Riptide

Riptide for the skin you can change the default skin for one of your wish. I know I did long time ago and it was not hard, sure someone more interested in skinning will remember the procedure to change the default skin. The Bulge problem is related to the Franken nature of the plane, not sure If it can be easily solved, but I really doubt it.
Archie did you erased the engine cover of the original I-15 bis? If yes, can you please send me the fix so I can add it as a downloadable option on the first post? Of course If you give your permission.
