I thought I knew all about Grumman aircraft, guess I was wrong.

AG164(AgCat)
This came from Aviaskins a long time ago, I think it's one of Dimons old mods.

Down load:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/c3zzxq8uic5hlm0/AG_164%2528AviaSkins%2529.rar/file

Install & Notes
---------------
Drop the AG_164B folder into whatever Mod folder(Mods,SAS,DBW,etc.) that you are using.
Edit your air.ini
***********************************************
AG164        air.AG_164B 1        usa01 summer
***********************************************
Notes:
1) Select Spray in the loadout box.

2) Uses stock key command(T) for 'Toggel Wingtip Smoke' for crop dusting/spraying.

3) The default skin is the basic grubby 'cropduster yellow' as depicted in the included pics.
The skin in the PaintSchemes/Skins folder(AGskin1.bmp) was made from the default skin .tgb file.
That's your void/template.

4) Because it's not an actual weapon the AI will not use the Spray(Wingtip Smoke)
loadout even with Gattack points set. Player only for crop spraying.

5) This mod has been tested and works in 4.09,4.10,DBW 1.71,ModAct 5.30(version 4.12.2m)
and VPmodpack.

Good Luck,

very nice. took a test run and she goes kinda fast for a prop and the spray effect is thinner or smaller than the pic. tested in bat 4.2.1

Nice plane, only the spray effect a little weak

Sounds like the spray effect is coming out more like the stock smoke effect which is thin.
I've only used this spray effect in a modact install(409, VPpack etc.) not in a BAT install
which I don't have.
I am not familiar with the file and folder structure in a BAT mod folder. The only thing that
I could suggest is to prefix the 'CropSpray' folder so that it sits and loads before anything else
in your Mod folder and see what that does.
If that doesn't fix it I don't know what to suggest.

Did avia skins release a skinpack for her?

[Flamer50]

Not that I know of.

Thank you very much for the link Bwf., really appreciated.

I downloaded the aircraft myself from AviaSkins many years ago but I cannot remember the smoke mod with it
at the time so your download completes things.

First try of the smoke I got just the coloured thin lines as per the original game but once I moved that folder up
near the top of the mod folder it seemed to work okay, it must need to load above some weapon or effects mod
I guess.





Take care and be safe.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
