thanks for the quick reply... just a few more questions if you don't mind: you said that there's no need to bother about the Planes.ru & weapons.ru right? what about the air.ini ( it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the IL2: 1946 foler) & apparently there's no folder named #UP# in the il2 root directory

please help me as to wher i went  wrong. much appreciated. thanks

yes, amongst the files to be downloaded for UP is one called #UP#samplefolder.rar.
that one contains the necessary files and folders. ;)

Even if it wasn't my original PacFi model, I'm glad to see this much, much needed plane finally in the game after 7 long years.  Nice work, everyone!

Now fix those incorrect spoilerons.  :P

Do you mean this?
 They are not the same, but I think your model looks better, my model has too many polys  :(

Yup, that's my baby.  It was cut from the game because of the legal issues with Northrop-Grumman being DICKS.

The spoilerons were curved and pivoted up out of the wing in an arc.  Hard to describe with text.  Here is a page that shows some very grainy pictures of a mechanically correct recreation for an RC plane:  http://home.comcast.net/~aljoajo/rcb/bw7.htm.

Here's a youtube that shows them very clearly, at 6:10: 

See how they're quarter-cylindrical, but taper to a smaller diameter towards the wingtip.

Before anything let me say that i really enjoy flying the P-61. & it's great to finally see it in Il2:1946... To be honest i wouldn't have known it was a frankenplane if the creators hadn't said so....

I hate to be a critic but just a minor issue: Didn't the real P-61 have split landing gear doors for the nose wheel unit? like in the image below:

http://www.militaryfactory.com/imageviewer/ac/pic-detail.asp?aircraft_id=78&sCurrentPic=northrop-p61-blackwidow_13.jpg&sCurrentDescriptor=Close-up

Whereas the model in this mod has a single-piece gear door for the nosewheel unit? Other than that this mod is simply superb!

Please don't get me wrong... This ISN'T a complaint... just a suggestion...

S!

Without wishing to criticize you, too THE ESCHATOLOGIST, but several aircraft, of the original game, have serious errors that make them unreal. In this case the difference is so insignificant that I believe does not have the slightest problem.
After all, we fly with the landing gear collapsed. 8)

I don't get you wrong, we are aware of some 3d shortcomings (like landing gear doors) but I can't promise anything soon.

Hi Crazyflak...Thanks for considering it... It's ok if it isn't too soon; but maybe sometime in a future release, perhaps.... (I don't mean to sound too demanding).. just a humble suggestion...

101fts,

I want to offer my highest comments and thanks to you on your P-61's. This is a plane I've wanted to see in IL-2 for a long time. It's great to have such a fine mod available to bring it to life in IL-2.

As it may be of help to you, I think I should mention that so far, I've had one screen-freeze event. I was chasing an enemy in a P-61B. As I closed in, the turret gunner began firing. I turned with the enemy plane as the turret gunner as firing and the screen froze. Eventually, the game shut down.

In any case, thank you very much again. I look forward to flying your finished product.

Cheers,

Riptide
