Defense of Sicily Campaign by Skylane

Mario, no worries, I just stated how I like to do things.
I copied the VC lines from your panel into mine (it works), and I am posting this panel here.

The attached zip was loast in the previous post, I´ll try again...

Rami, could you please insert the Panel Folder into my campaign package in the library, and also replace the download instructions with the updated version here?

Skylane,

Done.

Hi Skylane and Rami,

I noticed the Quai/D'Attomo's S.M.82 Canguro (Kangaroo) conversion included in the campaign pack has a rather simple 2d panel, stock US payloads and lousy, 2-blade prop disc textures.

Among the other projects I am working on, I found the time to create a new set of 3-blade prop disc textures, replace the stock bombs with MVG3d/BloodHawk_23's Italian bombs and adapt a new S.M.82 2d panel created by MVG3d.

The new payloads are 100% historical from the S.M.82 groundcrew maintenance original manual, except that I did not exceed 50% capability. This aircraft Flight Model does not allow more than a 2,000 kg. (4 x 500 kg.) total. With a doubled bomb load this Canguro simply does not take off.

Besides, contrary to the information included in the conversion pack, the Canguro was never deployed as a torpedo bomber, and very rarely used as a regular bomber as well. The S.M.82 primary mission was the same as the C-47 Dakota, that was supply carrying and airborne troops dropping.

The 2d panel comes from a work Manuele Villa and I did last fall for Peperez, who was in the process of converting F.Giuli's FS9 S.M.82 Canguro to CFS2, but was forced to put the conversion on hold following computer problems on his side.

MVG3d's S.M.82 2d panel is strictly historical and many of the new adapted Italian gauges for it, I later on uploaded separately, come from our joint effort on this panel.

The Canguro 2d panel bitmap painted by Manuele is simply gorgeous. I adapted Italian gauges to Quai/D'Attomo's S.M.82 Canguro VC panel, although I anticipate it did not come out that great and almost useless, due to a very strange and difficult gauge mapping.

I'll be uploading the addon Quai/D'Attomo's S.M.82 Canguro pack within this week.

... of the work I did on Quai/D'Attomo's S.M.82.

Please, note the beauty of Manuele Villa's 2d panel bitmap, faithful to the real-life panel in every detail. On the right, a drop of 4 x 500kg GP Italian bombs, showing also the new prop discs.
