Bristol Blenheim release thread by Baldy!

[baldy]

Not to long ago there was a thread saying that current Blenheim models although supposedly multi-lod gave high frame rates - well I thought I'd have a go at doing something about it.

With the help of the inestimable UncleTgt I have produced the first in a series of all new multi-lod Blenheims - this one being the Blenheim MkI day bomber and I shall be uploading it after this

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=60571&stc=1

This pic of a flight of four shows the frame rate - I hope it proves satisfactory to all you mission builders

One dumb question though. Where do we find the needed 'wep_raf_pilot' and 'wep_raf_gunner_rear' ? They are not those made by William Dickens for his Beaufighter series.

[baldy]

you can find these at Martin Wright's site

Following the launch of the new Blenheim series I have today uploaded the new MkIF day /night fighter model

note to Rami : I forgot to fill in the keywords line, it should read 'Bristol Blenheim MkIF.zip'

The bomber version seems to have been well received ( thank you for your comments ) I hope you like this one as well

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - British

Description: This a/c was a modified Mk. I for use as a day / night fighter because the RAF had to use anything available for fighter duties owing to the Luftwaffe's numerical superiority.

The modification simply involved adding a four gun (.303) pack to the belly of the aircraft. Unfortunately the lack of speed made the Mk. IF vunerable to enemy fighters and forced the RAF to relegate them to night fighter duties until replaced by Beaufighters. A number of Mk. IFs were shipped to the Middle East.

Many thanks Baldy and Uncle Tgt. Great models and skins.:applause::applause:

[Worthless]

Just took her for a spin. Lovely work. Congrats. No trouble with pilots or gunners, but one thing to be aware of. Panel bmp sizes play merry hell with some versions of Windows. Win7 especially likely to have screen freeze or mouse cursor just spin and spin. The solution I have found with much help from Allen and others is.....

Change the size of the window from 1024x768 to 800x600.....or

change the line in the panel.cfg from 'render_3d_window=1' to 'render_3d_window=0' and then everything should work ok

[baldy]

Have just uploaded the lastest in my and UncleTgt's series of Blenheims.

This one is the radar equipped MkNFI - the aircraft depicted is one from 600 Sqn which had its turret removed in the hope that its speed would be increased.

I have revised the 2D panel to make the gun sight more visible - this panel can also be copied to already uploaded MkI and MkIF models.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - British

Description: Just prior to outbreak of war about 200 MkIs were produced as MkIFs as day/night fighters with a belly pack of four .303 machine guns. As day fighters they suffered badly at the hands of the Luftwaffe so all five squadrons became night fighters, At the same time the RAF were experimenting with Airborne Interception radar and as sets became available Blenheims were equipped with AI MkIII. Even with turrets removed Blenheims found it hard to chase down faster German a/c but eventually became successful night fighters with many kills to their credit. These a/c remained in service until replaced by the faster, more powerfully armed Beaufighter in late 1940 and 1941.

Description: Even before war broke out it was realised that the Blenheim Mk. I had severe shortcomings in regard to speed, defensive armament, and all-round performance. In an effort to solve these problems, several changes took place - the most obvious being the lengthened nose which created a bomb-aimer/navigator position, the firepower in the dorsal turret was increased by replacing the single Vickers K gun with twin Browning belt-fed machine guns (still .303) and later a single Browning in a rear-facing chin turret was added. This was later replaced with a twin .303 turret. Despite these efforts the new Mk. IV showed itself to be just as vunerable as the earlier version on contact with the enemy. Blenheim bomber squadrons suffered many casualties on ops against German forces in France, and against targets in Germany and the North Sea area. However, until better aircraft came on stream, Blenheims continued to be used in Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East theatres until 1943.

Thanks Baldy. I have been to the rafweb site often. The markings for 211 sqn apparently changed a bit as they moved from one theatre to another.
BTW, the profile on that page for a 211 sqn DH-9 would make a great skin. A shame that there is not a DH-9 for CFS2 (though I think there is a DH-9A).

Just to announce the upload of the penultimate aircraft in the Blenheim series - this model represents the MkIVF fighter which served in Coastal Command on convoy protection duties until replaced. They were then shipped to the Middle East where they served with, among others, South African and Free French squadrons. Some were even sent to the Far East to reinforce RAF units against the Japanese.

Description: In '39 -'40 the RAF was desperate for fighter aircraft and so approximately sixty Mk. IVs were produced as fighters with the addition of the four gun belly pack. These served mainly with Coastal Command to protect convoys from aerial attack. As these a/c were replaced by better equipment they were shipped to the Middle East where they could still perform a useful role. Some of these a/c were even fitted with 20mm cannon in the nose for a ground attack role. When the threat from Japan became apparent many Blenheim Mk. IV and Mk. IVF were shipped to the Far East where they performed useful service until replaced.

Baldy,

True, but I'm not talking about the aircraft skins, I'm talking about the actual visual model itself. I look at what you're doing now and what you did with the Polish aircraft versus where you were ten years ago, and it's night-and-day.

[Captain Kurt]

Beautiful work Baldy, thank you for the whole series.:ernaehrung004:

[baldy]

It has been fun producing this new series of Blenheim aircraft but unfortunately must end on a low note.

Sometimes known as the Bisley ( after the national rifle shooting centre ) - this was possibly one of the worst aircraft issued to the RAF during the war. Finally built as a ground attack machine but without powerful enough engines to carry all the weight. Not good enough for the ETO it was shipped to North Africa and India. It proved so vunerable to enemy fighters and ground fire that it was withdrawn from front-line service after several months, 18 Sqn RAF being, to all intents and purposes, wiped out in action in Tunisia on Dec 4th 1942.

Note to Rami: this is a completely revised model with entirely new 2D ,vc panels and air and dp files -- so could you please remove the old model from the library - UncleTgt's textures for the old model are compatable with this new issue

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - British

Description: The last and, without doubt, the worst of the Blenheim series. This a/c was originally conceived as a high level bomber. The specification was then altered to ground attack with several machine guns in the nose - then altered again to having a bomb-aimer position in the, now, partially glazed nose.This role meant added armour and other extra weight - unfortunately without the extra power in the engines. The resulting a/c was very vulnerable to enemy fighters and was never seriously used in the ETO. Most were shipped to the Mid East and India / Burma. They proved to be so vulnerable that they were withdrawn from service after several months and replaced with better aircraft such as the Beaufighter or Maryland.

I finally got a chance to install these, you did a great job on them. I'm really torn between the two models for BOF, but I will decide before I release it. :very_drunk:

Thank you Rami, your and other peoples comments are are very encouraging and much appreciated by both myself and Uncle. Over time we have become a bit of a team with Uncle keeping me honest. His input is not just the textures but also the technical stuff which is over my head. We spark off each other and hopefully the end result is something people can enjoy.

As someone in 'MASH' once said 'How's that on the humble meter ?'

Seriously I don't think we've finished yet - there are a couple of other Blenheim variations yet.

At the risk of overwhelming you all with too much Blenheim-ing Uncle and I have made another version of the MkIV bomber - this time the late model which sported a twin .303 turret in place of the single gun version

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=60957&stc=1

to add this turret to your existing MkIV model all you need are the files found in this zip file - there's a readme to explain

my apologies to everyone who thinks I've let this run away with me but once started it sorta developed a mind of its own

Sort of, it's just Mike's no chin turret Blenheim mkIV dressed up with new paint & air & dp so it looks like one. Rivet counters like us would see the differences, but hey, it's a combat sim & "close enough for Government work" :teapot:

Baldy,

I hope you don't mind, but the model variations were getting very confusing, so I took the liberty of separating them out, and uploaded the packages. If you want to change the screenshots so they match appropriately, post new screenies in this thread and I will make the appropriate adjustments.

(Don't worry about the space, we have plenty)

I also made an adjustment to the MISC_DATA section in the MkIV model, the entries were done in another unit of measure other than km/h and meters.

[baldy]

Hi Rami

I think you did the right thing - even me and Uncle were getting in a bit of a twist - guess we got carried away with trying to offer all the variations

here are pics of the three models of the MkIV bomber showing the different turret arrangements

Thank you once again Baldy and UncleTgt! These birds are near perfect!!!

Here is a comparison of the frame rates I get with the new Blenheim versus Thicko's model and stock B-25D. Of course the new one hits frame rate harder than the stock B-25D, but it is a great improvement over Thicko's Blenheim.
