I m starting to cry of BIG JOYS! I have been waiting and waiting for this aircraft to finally come out in IL-2 1946.  What a overwhelming joys that I am feeling now and I thank you so much for your hard works and deep passions into bring this P-61s into IL-2 1946!

CHEERS!




Chaoic out...

[Cage]

After getting this plane to work correctly, I really enjoyed flying the bird.   The P-61 was my second favorite bird behind the P-38.  As for the turret, it was found on the pre-production series that when the turret was rotated it caused buffeting.   So the turret was removed on the early models.   Later installed in a fixed forward firing postilion.   I don't remember if they ever cured the buffeting or not.  Thanks to all for the great work on this bird.     

Hello Cage!
We have something in common... Favs, for me the P-38 is #1 and P-61 #2, too.

The turret was reinstalled in production aircraft in the P-61B-20-NO batch. It was an improved model that cured the buffetting problem.

Cheers

Cool, I have been a big fan of the P-38 since I was a kid.   I also flew them in Air Warrior 3, War Birds, and Aces High.   It was a fun bird to fly, and when flown to it's strengths a deadly weapons platform.

Cage,
this love of you for the P-38 and the P-61 makes out of you a buddy for me.
You're in my buddy list from now.

Cheers!

Can you let me in too

Once again, THANK YOU for this mod!
i know there is a lot of work, but- when we can expect to fly with original cockpit?
All the best.

Edit --> there is something wrong with the rudder. It is not possible to correct direction (right) on the runway when starting. Has anybody met the same problem?

Same problem here with DBW 1.6

I know you guys are gonna hate to see me back, but I have something that is puzzling me concerning this a/c and the B-26.  I installed them as I was told to do (thanks for the help), but now, I went into the paint schemes/skins folder, and neither of these planes were listed.  Do I need to manually put them in?  I think that there aren't skins for these P-61's yet, but there was a skins pack for the B-26.  I know the planes are in the game, since I went into QMB and actually was able to fly them.  But how do I get different skins to work? Thanks for any advice and help.

Bob,
              no skin directory exists in advance. The game reads the skins from folder which follow the naming convention for the plane itself. There is an intermediate name or socketname established in air.ini that specifies what's the name of the folder that the game will use to open the skins for that airplane class.

  But basically you should't worry about the situation, because when some skinner had created a skin for the P-61 it will be included in the corresponding folder to make it work if copied to PaintSchemes\Skins.

  Regards,
                        Pablo

Thank you Benitomuso for helping

Yes, as he says, there is no P-61 skins yet, and each time you need to create a folder to put skins into it, you use the air.ini line as guide:

P-61A             air.P_61A_10 1                           NOINFO  usa01 SUMMER
P-61B             air.P_61B_15 1                           NOINFO  usa01 SUMMER

Then ALWAYS the first part will be the correct name of the skin folder... so you create the folders

Ubisoft/Il2Sturmovik-1946/Paintschemes/skins/P-61A

and

Ubisoft/Il2Sturmovik-1946/Paintschemes/skins/P-61B

No skins yet to put in, but there will be a skinpack soon

I really appreciate the info.  I think I got it now.  This was one of those questions I kinda hated to ask, because I figured the answer would have pretty much been a given for all you folks here, and I am the only one not smart enough to be able to figure it out.  Anyhow, thanks very much from an old and not very smart guy, but one still enjoying playing the game after a bunch of years.

What a great addition. Salute to all who made this possible.
