Speaking of B-17s

[Ghostrider]

You guys have inspired me to add a bombsight to the FDGV2 B-17s. This will work on all models, and supports the newest DP, CFG, and AIR files by Rami and company, as well as Kelti/Green Ghost's flame/exhaust effects. Easy to install, just replace your current panel folder.

Soon, you'll be doing this:
Attachment 33085
And this:
Attachment 33087
And hopefully this:
Attachment 33086

Ghostrider,

Thank you. This represents the best thing about CFS2. We didn't give up on the B-17, we found ways to truly fix and enhance it. I'm sure for B-17 and B-24s alike, this will prove very useful, something that was truly needed.

I already approved it, so it's ready to go! :salute:

Thanks Ghostrider.

As they say.. The sky is the limit!

Cheers, Discus

No Discus, correction: the CODE is the limit!

Now that's a cool lookin' Norton setup, Ghostrider. I've mainly been pushing fighters in CFS2 for several years now ( with my schedule, QC has been my quick fix ). But this bombsight mod might just get me back to my long lost love for the heavies.

Thanks, Bearcat - I took the photo of the Norden myself at Hill Air Force Base Museum a while ago, and superimposed it over the Mosquito bombsight reticle. It works really well. But bombing from altitude isn't easy - throw in some flak, fighters, and a crosswind, and you've got a real challenge! Next are the B-24s!

Works great GR, thanks, I wish I knew the mechanics of CFS2, I'd love to mount this is the Beech AT-11.

Speaking of the FDG2 B-17...

When I first got them they didn't work. I'd get a ctd when I tried to fly one. However, after a lot of head-scratching and editing, I got them all working. I now have them all broken up into separate aircraft, which is necessary for the mission builder. I have all the different models and paints, and they all work great. I get good frame rates with them due to the multi-lod's.

I've slept since then, so I have no idea how I fixed them. I was wondering if others had the same problem with them. I'm using Vista, BTW.

[Ghostrider]

Hmmm... I had no issues with them, and have split them up as you have - but I'm still running XP.

[Discus]

The same as GR for me.:salute:

Hi GR, been trying to set up this bombsite on a B25 Mitchell....I'd like to give it a try. Not getting anywhere at all. I'm using the CFS1 keyboard command set, that might be the hassle.
If I knew the exact commands used to call up the bomb site window/s SHIFT+3, SHIFT+ 8 etc I could reset my keyboard commands accordingly. Not that easy a job to cross reference them :isadizzy:
