That looks Great Stuart. Though the Pup would be a better choice. Gary did an excellent job on the models. Thats probly why I've stuck with WWI for so long.

Thank you Allen... well here i go. lets hope all goest well.

Were you able to get a copy of Jane's.

let me know if you need anythingin regards to the DP. You know you can make an alpha channel with MW's DXTBmp. its not to diffecult. you can even send it to be edited in PSP then save and reupload it to DXTBmp.

Its working great Allen. Thank You. I messed up on the 50kg pylon somewhere. its not showing up. i'll just remake it and it should work fine.

Here is a sample of what i've made. PuW 50kg bomb 50kg bomb pylon PuW 100kg bomb 100kg bomb pylon PuW 500kg bomb (not show but same as 100kg, only bigger)

i'm not sure if this was mentioned or not. you can use a .bmp saved as a 256 in GMax. use that for your mapping then use your better dxt or 565 for the texture in CFS2.

Version 3. I put the twist into the fins. its no "Perfect" but it is there. Which makes it look more like the original. I have also scaled up the model to the 100kg. I haven't tested it in game. I may have to adjust it before I do. The bombs are coming along.

Ok here it is. I think it looks better. It kinda matches this pic. http://www.wwi-models.org/Photos/Various/Bombs-german/IWMD/BombWW1DSCF4325.JPG I plan on doing a few more Upscaled versions for the 100kg and 500kg bombs.

Ok I have remade this bomb about 6 times now. It looks ok. I'll get pics up soon.

Looks Great. RJ

An option for some planes is Cat Launch. Its not hard to setup. Tango_Romeo did a tutorial on it. You can even use it for a JATO/RATO assisted takeoff. There is even an option for jets, thought the jets have a bug. If you need any assistance let me know.

Hi Allen, Sounds very interesting, Yes, please send the batch files to me, I am always interested in batch files. Robert John.

Hi Rami, when you next contact SC tell him I often think of him because he became a good internet friend of mine, and "Get better soon". Robert John

Hi Allen, Here is a copy of a batch file I used to compile the Traction Engine. Double click the batch file and all the work is done for you. Note the pause this willstop the cmd and you will be able to read any errors or if it compiles correctly you will read ok. Hope this help alot. echo off BGLC_9 TR_0.asm BGLC_9 TR-d_0.asm BGLC_9 TRT_0.asm BGLC_9 TRT-d_0.asm

Allen, Very nice models, RJ

Yeah 50 looks good on mine as well. I'm working on doing some work to the model. I'm fixing the tail fins. almost done.

I have a PDF copy of Jane's Fighting ships 1919. I want to send it to you but its too big.(my limit is 20mg and its 29mg) so i'm going to set up a skydrive and up it and all of my files on it. I'll send that link once its up.

I'll see what i can do RJ. Unless some else what a go at it. That looks great BTW.

Allen. Thank You very much my friend. That did it. We now have a PuW 50kg bomb. This might not be the final version. sorry its not on a german plane and those are the wrong pylons but you get the point. I'll have a new texture for the Aerocrate's weapons.

Diogenes_Bunker I have have uploaded this model to http://flightsimmag.webs.com/cfs2-models It will need a DP file made. The name of the object is called Diogenes_Bunker. If any one do make a DP file,would they please forward me a copy.

"I see" says the blind man to the deaf dog... I'll give that a try. its no the PuW 12lb bomb. now a 50lb. I'll get back to you.

yeah no luck. I must be missing something.

Both Aoba versions are all set. I'll double check the Kako. After a quick once over, the Kako is all set as is. I'll send you the new files for the Aoba. Get these Ladies off to paint.

SLEEP!!! You don't need no stinking sleep. Sleep is over rated. Ok maybe we both do. LOL what are the specs on the guns?

Well I have tonite off then back at it saturday nite. Yee Haw... Stuart, check your email. Send me the GMax files. otherwise i have to put them into ACM which is a pain for ships. well not realy but its easier just to look in gmax.

KDriver, Your hired. :salute: Welcome to the skunk works. :icon_lol: Allen, How can I remap the textures. I thought that i did but once ingame the texture are not what i set them as.

:banghead: ok here is what i have. first... Allen, it worked great. I now have a wep_puw_50kg_gp bomb. might actually work better as a 100kg. I think i made it a little too big. the 100kg i made is more like a 150 to a 250. so i need a new scaled version for the 50. no big deal. I'm having trouble with the textures now. it seems it wants to use only the portion that the wep_puw_12kg_gp bomb uses. i mapped it to a different location. :isadizzy:

Allen, are you going to work that Damage model into the L41 or your other Zeppelins? a great referance, be it tragic, is the Hindenburg. make the Duce have 4 or 6 bofurs.

the prop pitch has a huge effect on you top speed. a variable pitch prop will give you the ability to adjust the pitch to gain the best angle for climbing and at cruise. remember that the propeller is a wing. if the pitch is to great it will stall and no longer creat lift. or in this case thrust. see if the aircraft has a variable pitch prop. if it does then find the propeller controls and use them while flying.

Thats too funny. Sorry.

what about doing a double wall? you know what i mean?

Sorry, after 72 hours of working i'm feeling a little punch drunk.

there is no text that I know of. its funny that alot of people think that this is a game. we must remember it is a simulator. the kool thing about this is real world information translates well. In other words, what works on a real aircraft can be applied to these aircraft. i suggest getting a copy of Air wrench. now you can not make adjustments in it (unless you get the full version) but it will help show you the effects of your changes. just a thought: i think that thrust is equal to torque but please don't quote me on that. In automobiles if you increase the torque then you increase its ability to go faster. torque gets you going and Horse power keeps you going. is an old drag racers term. i believe that thrust can be applied in the same way. sorry for the rambling.

I'm going to try now and see how it goes. I'll let you know.

I find that if the guns are on the same station that they will do that. if you add each to its own station then the guns will fire independent which gives a different look.

I looked at it this morning. it looks great. I'm working some OT tonite (Hello 72 hours) so i'll check it out again in the morning. i'm doing some german WWI bombs. puw 50kg and a puw 100kg bomb. i'm adding that to the Royal labs 65lb britsh bomb.

Try this. http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs2/articles_SDK_mdlconverter.aspx it is suppose to convert CFS 1 MDLs to CFS2. I haven't used it in a very long time. but give it a try.

Ok, Kool... I look at them shortly.

hey Allen, I might need a little help with the MDLC. Can you do a quick write up on how to do it. Half the time it says it can't find the file. or i get errors. maybe i don't have the dos link set right. if you could write the commands so i can paste them in. maybe it will help me. oh the BGL you sent works great. i may have made it too small. i should up it 15%. or should i say drop it to75 or 80 and not 65.

What version of Aired are you using?

Add these lines to the DP in their places. system.48=%system_name.48%,175,10 ; Box = Tail (front) boxmap.0=5,19 boxmap.1=5,22 boxmap.2=60,37

I'll see what i can do. Unless someone else beats me to it.

No problem. One little tip when doing work on air files and CFGs. "BACK UP YOUR ORIGINALS" Best tip I can give. If you don't like how it comes out or you blowup on the tarmat you can always fix it by replacing them.

Jinx, Try this... go into your CFS2 aircraft folder. open any plane you want. right click on the .air file. click on properties.

Here is the complete list of WWI Aerodromes My scenery... Calais Aerodrome Manoncourt-en-Vermois Bergues-Bierne St. Omer Aerodrome Aertrycke Aerodrome Le Clos Ferme

Awesome!!! *must stay focused* I'll get back to Korea soon enough.

I have FS2002 pro so i have everything else. i need to setup gmax so i can use both versions. I'm working the next few nites so i'll do a little here and there. i used modelconvertx 130 for the scale. I'll send you the gmax model so you can look at it. it might be too small. i'm not sure yet.
