Hello,afther dnld Bob by Pat Pattle the two following A/Cs dont have a prop-disc showing once the engine is started :BoB_BF109E-02 and BoB_Bf109E-26.
How can I have it showing?

Mmm.. Both Rob & I have had a look into this and it seems that it's the model that's at fault. It's the Aeroplane Heaven one. All the supplied textures are included as far as I can tell so unless anyone knows different it'll have to be replaced for the next install.

Cheers,

Pat

Rename then place the JG26 Cockpit0.M3D file into the JG2 file Model folder. The cockpits are compatable and the gunsight will appear.

Don't know about the prop issue.

Addendum: Off topic a bit, but did any of the BoB Emils have cannon? None do in the install.

PS: The AH BF109E, upon which this aircraft is apparently based, contains a shared folder with a gunsight file in it. Perhaps this is the issue. Since I changed the entire cockpit file, however, I can't verify this. For some reason, the AH version also contains two prop.dds files.

Now that I've looked at this a bit, all of the aircraft based on the Aeroplane Heaven Bf109E, including the AH original (bf109e_4), seem to have this "missing" prop issue - including the FS (FM) 109s. Even after installing the appropriate shared files, say for the FouteMan models, which have the called for 109e_prop.dds file, the whirring prop does not appear.

Has anyone else seen this?

Glad it worked. Sill can't figure out the AH-based BF109 whirring prop issue. Perhaps someone else has an answer.

This might help;find the prop_german.dds file in the aircraft/shared main game file, rename it 109e_prop.dds and replace the original file in the A/C with this one.
Voila!
