Hello TD,

do you guys plan to implement Claymore's work on the FW190 cockpits. Because what he did is litterally stunning ! I don't give the link, but you can watch it on the Check-six forum if you don't know him. (It's in French btw).

Cheers.

Cool

Cockpit repaints have to remain within official limits (which is 8MB texture size for cockpits). AFAIK Claymore's work exceeds this by far ... So the answer is no.

That 8 megs is quite old limit, so I think it can be pushed little to around 16-20Mb. I recall that the Tempest pit already did pushed the texture & poly limits little, but it was one of the last pits from the official 3rd party development days (so it's quite new actually).

That 8Mb limit didn't include damage textures or night textures, so it should be enough to do a nice looking pit. It's not the size that matters, it's how you paint it. Why we haven't seen a Gladiator pit repaint? Because it doesn't need one.

Doh!

Well, that happens when you're not totally fluid with stuff like that. *note to myself: stick to historical details*

Der Wüstenfuchs's Bf109 cockpits were also shrinked in size by Cirx, member of a certain community content creating site..

First post, and a good time to thank TD for thier amazing work. 4.09 was superb, while 4.10 will, I reckon, be a big milestone for the game- so take all the time you need fellas to deliver a classic. Also, congratulations on the license agreement, you guys justly deserve it and it should bring nothing but benefits to the whole community. Nice one.

If I had the ability I would make or fund a new 3D model for the Hawk 81 series, and I hope that someone is working on a P40N for use in China.

The entire China, Burma, India Thertre of Operations is a very neglected "forgotten battle" that has an amazing wealth of plane types, terrain, and campaigns over the entire span of the Second World War, and actually many years prior.

Imagine Curtiss Hawk biplanes flying along side I-15s trying to intercept Japanese Fiat bombers escorted by Ki 27s, or A5Ms?

I drool over the idea.
Soon your dream will be (partially) realised! Theres no HawkIII as yet, but...

I'm knee deep in building an epic, historically accurate Sino-Japanese campaign for the stock game. It currently stands at 105 missions spanning the years 1937-Dec 1941, and will be split into 3 parts. Part one ('37-Dec '38)will be tested and released shortly after 4.10 is out ( like I said, take all the time u need TD..please!) and presently consists of 43 missions:

Fly I-16 Type 5s with the VVS volunteers in thier combat debut over Nanking, and thier desperate struggle over the doomed city
Fly ground attack sorties at the bitter Battle of Tai'erzhuang in the new I-15bis
Take part in the Gladiator's combat debut, and fight in a detailed Battle 4.29, the largest air battle of the conflict.
Attack shipping on the Yangzi river; fly escorts and point defence during the epic Battle of Wuhan
Support Chinese troops at thier crushing victory at Wanjialing

Each part will come with printable maps illustrating the various strategic situations and how the stock maps fit together/over the real geography, plus historical notes on the missions etc.
I'll be putting some screenies up soon on M4T.

p.s if anyone could help me out with an I-16 type 5 skin it'd save me alot of work....

Wow, very cool. I am really looking forward to this.

And I need to edit my wish list, I said Hawk 81, and meant to say Hawk 87. Our early P40 is excellent, it's the late models that are awful.

Now, for that Hawk III...

You know an update to the P-40 lineup would definitely be a good thing to see. The P-40 is one of those aircraft that spans most of the conflict and shows up virtually everywhere. They were being used well into late 1944 with the latest versions in the Pacific, Italy, Russia and so forth. Upgrading what we have an maybe adding a version or two could be really useful.

Fixing that dihedral problem with the wings would be good.

I believe the highest performing version we're lacking is the P-40N which was produced in fairly significant numbers if I remember correctly.

Correct, the P40N was the highest production version.

The total number of all variants was 13,738, 5000 were P40Ns.
