    New Beaufighters on horizon..

    Night Fighters abound..

    5 new model files for the Beaufighter, (MkIF, MkINF, MkIINF, MkIIFcNf and MkV) with 17 different units depicted across ETO and MTO for RAF, RAAF, FAA and USAAF. ranging in dates from late 1940 through 1944.

    Ted (Nachtpiloten) Kaniuka, and John (Bravo/4) Whelan, doing a great job as usual.

    regards Rob.

    Looks great! Can't wait to play with them! Some Battle of Britain missions would be awesome with the Beaufighter Mk.I.

    The pits are better IMHO than the originals. I did not check the clights toggle. But other than that I feel it is an improvement.

    Point of Clarification

    I did not make the original meshes - in fact it has been so long ago I really forgot who gave these to me to do with what I wanted........ I want to say ?????? ....yikes! Regardless all I did was convert them to CFS3 (which is no small task). John did a great job painting these and making them better than before. Rob is always up to making them even better with the work he does. I was just luck to get these, want to say they were made for FS9 but just don't remember. Will snoop around on the HD to see if I can find who was the original designer.

    Was it Dave Garwood by any chance?

    Been holding off installing the older models in my ETO install just for these. Not that they were bad as i have them in another install but knew these new ones were going to be the cat's meow. Waiting with baited breath ! Thanks guys for all the work done.

    So all the gauges will be '+clight' as well? I assume a dynamic reticle?

    Hi All

    I have the aircraft set compiled, just having a spot of bother with the MOS file generator in WIN10. I'm going to have to do the mos file on my old laptop (win7). it will be about a week before I get a chance to do that.

    regards Rob.

    There is a modification I want to make to the mesh files for these so before you send them out please wait on the new mods.....will be worth it.
