CREDITS for version 2:
1C maddox & Oleg: original meshes and code
101tfs: for the model & (initial) default skins
Crazyflak: FM, weapon hooks, loadout research & classfiles ... with a *big* bunch of credit to Storebror for spotting my "turret"  mistake that was holding the project from release. Also reworked default skins and template (with 101tfs help)
Storebror: Spoilers & ailerons interaction code.

Notes on FM & Damage model
(FM is a stand-in awaiting a more carefull one, it has however correct dimensions, engines and weigth)
Damage (java) model is from P-38 (thanks to 101tfs for using a close aircraft as starting point for the 3do folder), however as franken, don't expect absolute perfection.

Note on loadouts:
the "turret as gunpod" loadouts allow you to use the turret as a gunpod. When in game, switch to gunner position, disable autofire and go back to pilot position. You're ready to use 8 guns :)
In RL the turret could be used by any of the 3 crew members, and could be switched to "gunpod mod" anytime, but this cannot be done in IL2 (without having to redo a LOT of central code)
Rockets were never fitted on factory, but turned into a common field mod when the lack of airborne targets lead the P-61 to be used as intruder (as I know you won't believe me, some photos are included)

Cockpit :
A proper cockpit (pilot position only!)  is already in the works and will be added later. For now it uses the A-20 cockpit.

YOU NEED THE P-38M INSTALLED, since we use its black droptanks (I left 1 loadout with silver droptanks for non-black paintschemes)
If you don't have nor want the P-38M, just download the droptanks classfiles and drop them inside the mod

YOU NEED Diff_FM mod installed
(you don't need them if you are on DBW)

Link updated with the version as I zipped it from my working version in DBW 1.71
( in my archive I only have the first version wich seems to be outdated by a later version,
but this I have not on my HD). This linked now should have all fixes included. Gerax.

Yoy! Skinners! Basic WIP template is out for you to save some tedious work ;)

 -my way to say thanks to all skinners

Edit by Czk:  Patch to fix taxi issue with opposite brake output: take the folder INSIDE the file and put it inside the P-61 mod, overwriting: https://www.mediafire.com/?6vf5pt5iqw7hjd7

Updated! Now new loadouts for P-61A

70% CTD with DBW. Removing it solved it, so I thought maybe i ran into the famous "java wall". So I removed all other planes (// in air ini) and re enabled the P-61. Still 70%. Removed it again and...still CTD ! Right now I got no Plane installed at all, but still get that CTD. I simply did as you normally do to install a plane, since there were no special instructions to install...the folder inside the zip in #DBW, and added the air ini entries..Don't think there's something wrong with my installation.
Any ideas how to solve that ? It's very embarrassing cause like this I won't even be able to play at all...
Thank you
