Hello Rami,
Thanks for re-directing the 3 Havocs to this thread!

Hello Shessi,
Thanks for announcing Chris Lampard´s Czech Avia B-135.
A very interesting and excellent-looking model!

Hello All,

I´ve just uploaded the "D-Day" Havoc A-20 at the CFS1 warbirds library,
and it will be available as soon as it has been approved by the librarian.
Here´s the link:

Hello Folks,
OK, the D-Day Havoc Textures are done now.
Now for the SCASMing to correct the Virtual Cockpit,
and I´ll upload the machine.
Meanwhile, here are some pics as eye-candy!
Cheers,...

Hello Folks,

By special request from Smilo, I´m preparing a D-Day Havoc model as per
attached photograph.

The black-and-white-striped livery is rather spectacular looking, I must say!

Hello Ivan,

Well, taking into account the MTOW of the two planes, the possibility of giving the A-20B a load of 18x100 lb bombs, and the A-20-A a load of 16x100 lb bombs, I thought was a bit...

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for your comments.

As per pictures of the corresponding pages in the flight operations manuals of the
two Havoc models, the bombloads I defined are quite realistic, i.e. 4...

Hello Kdriver,
Thank you very much for your motivating comment!
I´m glad you like it!
Cheers,

Hello folks,

I´ve just uploaded the two Havocs. The aircraft will be available for download as soon
as they have been authorized by the librarian:

A-20A:...

Hello Folks,

It seems that smaller bomb types were 100 lb or 300 lb, (apart from even smaller incendiaries).
Bigger ones (500 lb or 1000 lb) in the model would reduce simmer´s bombing...

Hello Folks,

I was wondering what type of bombs would be the most convenient for CFS, to make up the
1600 lb bomb load of the Havoc A-20A and the 2400 lb bombload of the A-20B.

If it were the...

Hello All,

I finally remembered how to get yellow tips onto propeller textures, so they too are on now.

Then, regarding the weapons on the A-20B, apart from the 4 instead of 6 nose MG´s I...

Hello Ivan,

There is such a lot of information on the Havoc that it takes time to see what
is really relevant for the specific models one is interested in.

My A and B models are coming along...

Hello Ivan,

A, B, C, G... too many versions! I´ll stick to my decision of a solid-nosed A and a B.
Don´t worry, the fact that you are intending to produce an early G is not the reason
for my...

Hi Ivan,

It seems that our tastes are similar... I also prefer the early versions with the
dorsal flexible gun mount instead of the turrets.

Anyway, don´t worry. You do the early A-20G - I...

Hello Ivan,

My version is essentially a A-20-A and an A-20-B.
Instead of a khakhi green Russian A-20-G1, I think I´ll just leave it at the camo-coloured
Australian A-20-A, and simply ignore the...

Hello Ivan,
Thanks!
I agree with you on the aesthetic aspect of the cheek guns. It seems that they were an option whereby the oval access lid to the lower nose guns could be altered to house an...

Hello Ivan,

This research is getting a bit complicated, isn´t it? Nevertheless, the possibilities
that are taking shape are very interesting.

I also have the station A-20C diagram with the...

Hi Ivan,

Sorry, 48 ft would be 5, not 3 inches out from the alternative 46 ft 7 in.

I´m still a bit confused as...

Hello Ivan,

Interesting information you have managed to confirm.
Perhaps I have not been able to explain my reasoning clearly.

I was saying that from what I have seen, the A-20A was 48 ft in...

Hi Ivan,

After your warning of not shortening the nose, and seeing that the drawings of the solid
nosed unit (47.4 ft length) corresponded to the Havoc A-20G, I noticed the A-20A
frame-strut...

Hello Ivan,

At the end of the day we do what we can with what is available, and make
the decisions we feel are correct despite contradictory or inexact information.
Small differences go...

Hi Ivan, hello Folks,

Very interesting, Ivan, thank you very much. I´ll go with that research information then!
My criteria is not as reliable as yours, so I haven´t changed the nose dimensions....
