New CFS2 Avenger

Captain and Wolfi

I am more than thrilled with your work on the TBF. It is outstanding. I am using it extensively with Talon's USMC Guadalcanal campaigns. However, I noticed you left off the map, throttle, etc. icons in the panel. I added these to my TBFs. I also added the compass icon, and a autopilot using stock icons. These additions are in Window01=main panel. My autopilot is in Window04, using the Radio_stack icon. Listed below is the panel.cfg with my additions. Hope this is useful.

The Stock ATBF venger Replacement is up

The only difference is the DP file, the first 5 entries match the 5 entries of the stock Avenger!
Older campaigns or mission doesn’t have to be reworked if the Stock Avenger is used in the campaign or mission.

***wolfi*** · November 23rd, 2016, 12:27

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

Description: The TBF_Avenger Stock replacement for CFS2 by Wolfi.

This model was made to replace the CFS2 Stock TBF_Avenger.

The only difference is the DP file, the first 5 entries match the first 5 entries of the stock Avenger, so older campaigns or mission doesn’t have to be reworked if the Stock Avenger is used.

IMPORTANT: I included a Weapons pack and a Gauges pack only in the first upload “WF TBF Avenger VT-19” ! So the “WF TBF Avenger VT-19” is required if you miss any gauges or weapons for this model

The model contains 3 LOD (levels of detail) models and a Virtual cockpit. At first, it had a shadow model, but I deleted it. Special thanks go to Captain Kurt for his help, making the textures, DP, airfiles, and the 2D cockpit. I know this is a lot of work also!

I have to say thank you to Stefano “Kelticheart” who made the blurred prop texture. He didn’t make it especially for this model (initially it was for the Vultee Vengeance) but it fits this aircraft also.

So Thanks Kelti, and recover soon…

I don't want to hijack the thread.
I did this paint for Allen's Avenger MkII. there were small vis differences for the FAA Avengers, and Allen captured these differences.

Hi Mack

Thanks for the compliment.

Actually, I didn't even consider using icons, fuel dump, auto pilot, etc. because the TBFs did not historically have them. But of course that's one of the really nice things about CFS2; you can easily modify a lot of it to suit what your preferences are.

I'm curious though as to why you added duplicate trim tab controls to those that are in the throttle panel and a compass display toggle when the whiskey and DG compass are in the panel. Are the original instruments not working for you? Please let me know if there is a problem.

**braveheart77521** · November 24th, 2016, 19:05

Hi Captain Kurt

First, I am not having any trouble with the panel except to change the turret bmp from 1024 to 1020 ( I am running Windows 10). I regularly add the autopilot that Kelti provided in his KM P-40Ev5 prop and panel update. This is used in conjunction with the Concorde!Compass_display to keep me on course. It is about 8 degrees off, but I have learned to compensate for this. Also the Kelti autopilot fits in the lower right hand side of the panel. I like to keep the upper right hand side open for the course map.

I also like to just fly around and enjoy and observe the airplane and the terrain in free flight. A autopilot helps me do that. But I digress.

As a trained Military Historian, I understand your desire to stay historically correct on the TBF so I added the map, throttle, and compass icons to your panel. The auto pilot was added verbatim from the source mentioned above, and duplicated many of the gauges you used.

I hope this will answer your question

Braveheart (Mack)

**Fibber** · November 25th, 2016, 18:05

....THANK YOU! for the wonderful TBF's.

I seem to have a problem thought. It must be that none of my pilots have requaled with the planes because I seem to have a lot of empty seats! Any particular volunteers that I should seek to fly these "flying coffins"?

**Captain Kurt** · November 25th, 2016, 19:38

LOL Just start the engine.

***wolfi*** · November 25th, 2016, 22:28

Yes the pilot and gunner will sit right there where they belong after engine start!

Wolfi,
I want to take this time to thank you, the Capt. and all involved with this wonderful aircraft. She is a joy to fly. Well mannered and no real vices. Take offs and landings are a breeze. It will handle the Essex Class carriers with no problem as well as the CVE's. Also, a very stable weapons platform. I installed Tango's catapult feature for the CVE's and it works perfectly. Note: you have to go into the air file and "turn on" the WEP for it to work. Again, thank you, for all the time and effort for making this aircraft available. It is a true work of art.
Bob

First, thank you for this magnificent addition to the CFS2 community!!!

After a recent move, I have finally installed the TBF and am having one issue...whenever attempting to change to gunner view, CFS2 crashes to desktop. Any ideas what's happening, or did I miss something?
