21-02-04 Flight Model Pack 5.2 and a Winter Quad skin from MEGA.
MEGA offers a Winter skin for his new Quad 20 mm AA gun, with six installation options. Click image.
Target, the WW2 Fighters community's resident flight model expert, presents his latest Flight Model Pack, version 5.2:
Version 5.2 introduces a number of
changes to roll performance. The roll
rates of the Me 262, the Me 109s (G-10 and K-4) and the Spitfires (LF.IX
and F.XIV) have been revised. The roll acceleration of the P-38J-10 and
the nonflyable aircraft has been decreased, and the effect of G-load on
roll rates has been increased.
Drag coefficients for the P-51B/D and the Fw 190D-9 have been revised to
better reflect the typical condition of aircraft in service. The drag
coefficients for the P-47D-25 and D-30 have been revised to account for
the addition of wing racks.
The P-51B's engine now represents a Packard Merlin V-1650-3 cleared for
67" War Emergency boost, rather than only 61" Military.
The P-38J's stability as a gunnery platform has been improved.
Target's latest effort can be downloaded here:
Thanks for the new goodies, guys!
22-01-04 MEGA's new Quad 20 mm AA gun.
MEGA's latest mod boasts several
innovative new features. First, the gunner's head moves in tandem with the guns. This is
the first mod to implement a soldier animation. Second, the mod can be installed in three
different sizes. It can be installed at scale (1.0x), but may be installed at either 1.5x
or 2x as well. The gun is based on MIKH's SDKFZ 7-10 from the Rommel mods, and the gunner
is wearing an authentic camoflage pattern Luftwaffe Field Division uniform adapted from
textures developed by Rangefer for Combat Mission. Click on image.
Beautiful job, MEGA!
11-01-04 New Runways from Fly and a Training Mission by Timebandit
Fly offers three new concrete runway textures based on Alexandre Cadel's textures for FS2002, with varied levels of dirt and detail. Fly has also updated several of the textures for his No Guts, No Glory P-47 skin, which can be found here.
Also, Timebandit has created a Split-S training mission featuring the P51 Mustang, which is now available on the Miscellaneous Missions page.
Good stuff, guys!
