New CFS2 Avenger

[Shadow Wolf 07]

Hooray! Thank you Wolfi!!! I'll be able to start building again!

[wolfi]

It’s done!
After 2 years the first Avenger is uploaded
WF TBF Avenger VT-19
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 included a Weapons pack and a Gauges pack only in this first upload to make the installation of this aircraft easier.
My subsequent posts of different versions of the TBF Avenger models will need these packs.

Description: TBF Avenger VT-19

This is the first upload of my TBF Avenger Model. Because of the modeling limitations, a sim model cannot be a 100% accurate scale model. However, I tried to make it as framerate friendly as possible and as accurate as possible. It is a true CFS2 model, with breaking parts and bullet hole effects.
The model contains 3 LOD (levels of detail) models and a Virtual cockpit. At first, it had a shadow model, but I deleted it
after testing because it caused a significant framerate drop when more than 8 aircraft are used.

What a nice surprise! And such good timing. You couldn't know it but this is 65 for me. So I plan to enjoy getting her loaded up tonight. Many thanks!

[MaskRider]

Thanks so much for all of the time and effort you devoted to this project Wolfi! She's beautiful!

Looking forward to subsequent posts of different versions!





Cheers,

Wolfi,

Outstanding job on the first model, thanks! It is absolutely a joy to fly!

[highpockets]

Oh my GOSH! One of two of my favorite Navy planes of WWII!! My avatar represents the other.

[Browncoat]

Wolfi,

Thank you so much!

[ElsnerMarkus]

Thank you for the good work. But my rockets work as bombs 8 they wont start, they fall like a Bomb ) and the Mark 13 Torpedo don#t work.

but all in One a nice plane, thank you for this nice work and beauty Plane.

[Rami]

ElsnerMarkus,

Are you sure you installed all of the weapons correctly?

[MaskRider]

ElsnerMarkus,

All of the weapons load-outs on my install seem to be functioning properly. I have experienced missile rails that dropped as bombs before. Where I actually had to cycle through all of the missile rails dropping before I could get a single missile to fire. But I have never experienced missiles dropping like bombs. I'm sure its fixable.

This plane is magnificent! I will be getting back to work on my USS Saratoga CV3 campaign tonight at long last. Thank you Wolfi!

[kwb737]

All my rocket configurations and torpedo also function properly. None of my rockets drop like bombs.

This is the second upload of my TBF Avenger Model
"TBF-1 Avenger VMSB-233"

Textures,2D panel, DP and Airfile by Captain Kurt
Prop texture by Kelticheart

I included a Weapons pack and a Gauges pack only in the first upload “WF TBF Avenger VT-19” to make the installation of this aircraft easier.
So the “WF TBF Avenger VT-19” is required if you miss any gauges or weapons for this model

Hi Wolfi,

Great aircraft with wonderful detail. I'm not surprised it took a long time. A very welcome addition to CFS2.

I originally had an issue with the panel, which I believe is caused by me running CFS2 on Windows 10 which I read somewhere had difficulty reading Fixed Windows causing a CTD. I changed the line in the [Fixed Window33] section of the panel.cfg from 'render_3d_window=1' to 'render_3d_window=0' and then everything worked ok and retained the rear view. Just in case anyone else has the same problem...

Well done. I will enjoy flying it.

Many thanks,

Dick

[misson]

Thank you man!!
Great job!

Playing around with the VMSB-233 version- which is beautiful, BTW- with the Torpedo loaded and selected, when one pushes the "go" button the Torpedo just disappears from the bombay. It doesn't drop into the water or anything. It just disappears. On the other two models, for me anyway, the Torpedo works fine.

Cheers,
MR

@ All. I had install all Weapon Packs. But strange is that the Game Freeze when i load a Free flight with the New Avenger. i hear the Sound of the Plane but the plane is freeze in the air. Nothing work.
My first solution was to to delete my Big PTO Folder ( it was bigger than 4 Gb, with pearl, Force Z, Midway and other Scenarios). I have Put the Plane in a clean CFS 2 backup folder and - nothing work. Other Planes works fine. But after i Install the Avenger, Vanilla Planes has the Same problem. After i delete the Aircraft Folder of the Avenger, all other Planes and game works fine.
EDIT: Strange. I had Reduce the Graphic Setting from 1024 Objekt size to 512 and now- it Works. But after a Restart of my PC and the install of the First Avenger ( working was the second ) it doens't work.
I redownload all 3 Planes now, i think its a little Damage during the Download?
EDIT 2: After Redownload, i have the Same bug. Nothign work after install the Avenger Planes.
EDIT 3: Very Strange. If a Avenger from Wolfi is installed i can't Add/see Heavy, Middle or Small bombs on the Vanilla hellcat, Corsair ect. If i delete the Avenger Folders from the Aircraft folder all works fine. I will now search my CD and make a Complet Reinstall from Cd on the Hard drive and Test .
EDIT 4: I had make a Very clean installation with my Old CD's. The Same Bug, game Freeze. After Delete Avenger, game work fine. I have no idea, where th truble is.

[wolfi]

Ok, there was a wrong listing in the DP file

the fixed DP file for TBF-1 Avenger VMSB-233 is "TBF_1_Avenger"

the fixed DP file for TBF Avenger VC-58 is "TBF_Avenger"

Thanks Wolfi

All is well:
