VN PBY5a Bata

**Skipsan** · December 11th, 2008, 07:30

I have rearranged the deck chairs in the dp file. I can now say we can get all the eye candy with in the 21 mounts. However, there is an issue with the depth charges and drop tanks;

1. Depth charges need to have there mounting point adjusted up 27cm in the [bgl file] to match the bomb attachment points.

2. Air file needs to have drop tanks added. The air file that was posted will not load the air craft in my machine

Attached is the working in progress dp:

A BIG Thank You to the crew at VN and everyone that contributed to this outstanding aircraft project :ernae::ernae::ernae:

Use dvslats info on getting the drop tanks to work:
http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...ead.php?t=5775

We now have working drop tanks. If Rockster2 can adjust his depth charges attachment points for the PBY5a then the dp well function as it should. If not then you will have to swap out mount.9 Thur mount.16 for the depth charges to look right. And then swap back for bombs and torpedo's.

Attached is the full dp with all that modification "that I have found or used in the rearrangement" with all contributers listed:

Excuse I, I look for wep_us_FM2wdct_drop_gp and wep_aerial_depth_charge, we can one them found? Thank you !

***Jagdflieger*** · December 17th, 2008, 06:11

Skipspan,

Thanks for the effort on the DP file. It's most welcome.

Apollo,

Get the drop tank from Gramps' FM-2 Wildcat here:

http://www.sim-outhouse.com/index.ph...mps&FileID=636

I'm not sure about the depthcharge. Perhaps an aerial depth charge from S. Green's Short Sunderland might work as a replacement weapon.
