Hello guys, some time ago I downloaded the Do215-4 made by Skvorez at AviaSkins and like him I experienced
difficulty with the cockpit and gun positions so tried to get it to work better, here is that attempt which has now
been further updated.
Please give this a try in your installs and report back:
Link updated 1st November 2019, please remove the previous version and install this new folder.https://www.mediafire.com/file/aul95cp9wgw5f12/Do215-4_early_and_late_update_V4.7z/fileUpdated 31st October 2019 by Pete Shaw aka Mission_bug:
The engines have now been mapped to the same texture that the rest of the aircraft uses so everything can now use the same skin.
There are some areas on the engines that shine more so than other areas, I tried to reduce this by changing the mat values.
Besides the German default I have now added one for Hungary, each has default skins.
The template I made for the Do-17 has been adjusted to use the Do-215 engines which are now mapped to it.
Original slot: Skvorez/Starling from AviaSkins.
Reworked engine nacelles: Bison_M
Additional work: Pete Shaw aka mission_bug, now has own cockpit folders and classes and new SSP.
Correction of java entries and hooks and new entries for the i18n folder: SAS~Epervier.
Other amendments: Bison_M and YT-2
Bombsight fix for the D0-17ZV2: Stefan SG
The classes I used were decompiled from the original Do17 mod by Ranwers and the Do215 by Skovorez, there may have been further corrections to those original files by other authors.
The new folders use those from the Do-217K_for409_v4.0m mod by Epervier and extracted Ju-88 folders from TD 4.12.
Appologies to anyone not mentioned your names will be added if they become known.
Note:
The Bombaimers position is usable but in my 4.12 with Modact the scale does not appear, this is not the fault of Stefan SG.
The late version is set up to use the same armament as the Do-17-2 but may need further adjustment to their hooks.
Add the folder 'Do-215B-4 V4 31st October 2019' into your #SAS folder.
Inside the #SAS folder find 'STD' then com/maddox/il2/objects to add the following to air.ini:
AIR.INI
*******
Do-215B air.Do215B NOINFO g01 SUMMER
Do-215BL air.Do215BL NOINFO g01 SUMMER
you can add the following entries if you wish, go com/maddox/i18n and add to plane and weapons files:
PLANE_RU.PROPERTIES

Self Stationary Planes:
If you want to add the self stationary planes add the folder/folders of choice 'PS_Do215B_SSP' and 'PS_Do215BL_SSP' to your #SAS folder.
If you do not have one you will need to create a section in the stationary and technics files, go again to com/maddox/il2/objects to find both files at the bottom and add the following to their respective file, usually at the end of the existing stock stationary list:
[Self_StationaryPlanes]
Do215B vehicles.planes.Do215BStatic$Do215B 2
Do215BL vehicles.planes.Do215BLStatic$Do215BL 2
