AW Me-262 models released by AcWai!

[AcWai]

The VC is now finished. There are still a lot of work to do. I am learning how to build weapons for this aircraft. Does anyone have the mdldisas program? Please send it to acwai@yahoo.com

Thanks!

[Allen]

Seems like someone asks about MdlDisAs.exe once a year but it is just gone. Your likely going to have better luck using one of my CFS2 exploding object packages. They are meant to make destroyable objects but you can use them to makes weapons.

Just follow the tutorial using your weapon model and it will mount just fine to the aircraft.

Allen,

I have a problem with this German pylon. I can not find another one that works. Do you have one that doesn't have a gap? I am using the wep_german_agrackr, wep_german_agrackl and wep_german_ffaa bgl.

BTW, does your CFS2 exploding object packages have a pylon and the Me-262 skinny rockets? Where can I find it?

[Allen]

My CFS2 exploding object packages don't have any models. It is a set of tools to take gMax and FSDS2 models and make them into destroyable object or weapons.

You can make your own weapons or with permission edit edit/rebuild objects and weapons. If you want info on how to edit already made object or weapons let me know. I work with gMax but it looks like there is a way to get model into FSDS2 by the use of the .dxf fromat so they can be edited.

Allen,

Can I send you the FSDS part or a mdl file so you can create the pylon? Please send me your private email address.

All I need is a pylon that looks like this photo. I have 6 missiles on each side now. I can have 8 missiles on each side and hit max limit on the dp file. Can you create one using GMAX? I need a wooden pylon for the left side and one for the right side.

Thanks!

[Captain Kurt]

Never used it but I have a copy of mdldisas. It and a copy of an FW190 Pb1 rockets and rack are on the way to you Andrew.

Actually the R4m rack on the 262 was unique for that aircraft so I don't think any existing rocket rack will be right for your project. As an option, you might consider modeling the rack as part of the wings for a separate aircraft version rather than as a add on weapon. Of course you would still need to model the rockets.

Allen if you would also like a copy of mdldisas, drop me your email via PM and I will send it to you.

[Allen]

With Captain Kurt on this one. It looks best to model your own rockets and racks. The link has the package of tools and info but you will also need Model Converter X since you are working with FSDS.

Special thanks to Kurt, he sent me a new pylon and it is now fixed.

[AcWai]

All the new gauges are finished. I have a problem with the bombs. The aircraft is OK with cannons, the front gear sinks into the ground with 2 500lb bombs, and it is OK with 2 250lbbombs.

Has anyone seen this problem?

Something about the Static Compress, Max Compress .etc is wrong with the nose gear.

[Captain Kurt]

The nose gear weight value is 2165 lbs which is fine when no ordinance is mouned. It needs to have the bomb weight added. Added 2000 lbs. to the value and problem fixed.

I can now start fixing all the minor details and flight tuning the aircraft.

[AcWai]

Special thanks to Uncl Tgt for making a custom pylon and missiles for this aircraft. I can now put 12 missiles on each pylon and firing 4 missiles at a time.

Here is a screen shot of killing a B-17E with just the rockets.

I think the model is now finished. I just need to flight test and tune the airfile. I am not happy with the existing airfile.

[Rami]

AcWai,

There will be some weird airfile changes you'll need to make to allow it to warp during missions, but I am looking forward to this; it is needed!

Rami,
I am not too sure how to make the changes to allow it to warp in missions. I only play with the quick combat mode.

The aircraft has been uploaded. The first zip file has all the needed gauges. The 4th zip file has the missing pylons and rockets designed by UnclTgt.

You have to learn how to fight with this aircraft. You can not just dogfight it with the normal tactic. You only have a 2-3 sec window to kill the enemy aircraft. I can easily kill 8 Spitfires in the quick combat mode by not slowing down. You have to aim carefully and luckily that I have unlimited ammo.

This is from the Internet.

The Me 262 had a gentle stall and gentle landing characteristics compared to previous German fighters. Its handling improved with speed and would lose much less speed during turning. It had a cruising speed of 465 mph, which was faster than the top speed of most other fighters of the day. It also had far better visibility in every direction compared to previous German fighters. Due to lack of engine torque, if a single engine was lost the aircraft remained easily controlled and landed without issue. Its only major deficiency was that brakes could not be used until the nose wheel had touched down, because engaging them before would smash the nose wheel strongly into the runway, potentially destroying the nose wheel and the aircraft. The quality of the aircraft was high, with only 10% of aircraft returned for minor defects such as wings being out of alignment by under 1 degree. It could reach 515 mph without issue, although because it could reach extreme speeds in dives, components such as bomb racks would sometimes tear off.


Have fun! Happy 4th of July!

The 262 was primarily and most famously used as a point defense fighter. Its operating bases were relatively close to the routine flight paths of 8th AF squadrons striking deep into Germany. As such, it didn't have to cover long distances to get to an intercept.

That said, I would think that warp usage would be unnecessary for missions and campaigns. For mission planning and execution, the task would simply be in timing the spawning distance of the bomber squadrons in the flight path of the 262 player's flight. For RTB, a player on low fuel would need to maintain navigational awareness to know what alternate bases are available in the area, just like RL.

[Browncoat]

Andrew,

What a wonderful surprise! But I am missing the ILS (?) and several engine gauges (I installed the ones from the first aircraft).

What packs contain the following gauges?:
AW BF109_RadTemp
AW HO229_OIL TEMP
AW HO229_FUEL
AW FW190!Fuel_Warning
komet.alt
komet.vsi
Germ_fuel_sel

Note: I found that the bomb files are the same used in the 1% Me262, and I also used the sound files from that aircraft.

Browncoat,

The missing gauges are from these aircraft:
AW BF109_RadTemp is from the AW BF-109G6 aircraft
AW HO229_OIL TEMP is from the AW Ho229 cockpit panel addon
AW HO229_FUEL is from the AW Ho229 cockpit panel addon
AW FW190!Fuel_Warning is from the AW FW190A-8 aircraft
komet.alt - this is not my gauge (from the Komet aircraft)
komet.vsi - this is not my gauge (from the Komet aircraft)
Germ_fuel_sel - this is not my gauge (not sure)

Please send me your private email and I will send those gauges to you.

I am working on some more paint schemes and should have a new update soon. I will include the missing gauges with that release. Anyway, I need to update the aircraft model because there is a small gap on the back side of the starboard jet engine.

[Rami]

Andrew,

Thank you very much for these new Me-262 models, you did a wonderful job on them!

[stuart277]

Hi AcWai
Thanks for your efforts with the 262.
Looks great.
I will wait for your update.
Cheers
Stuart

[AcWai]

Thanks for the nice comments. Version 1.1 has been uploaded with a complete set of gauges, three of them are unmodified. They are provided to ease the installation.

Just copy the two new model folders to replace the original model folders.
