Well, I just uploaded the latest beta version of the tigerII Tank Ive been working on: www.mosquitonet.com/~blodgett/panzer2.5.zip It is a real breakthrough! Now there is only one position in the tank to drive/rotate turret/elevate gun! There is still much work to be done, but hey try it out and help us(Werner Molders and Archy) bring moving vehicles to FSDOE! It will still crash things from time to time, when hitting certain tank parts, but progress is being made! More, I think I know why the ai wasnt driving the tiger in the first place: It wasn't enough like a plane: it didnt have wings, or horizontal stabs, or ailerons, or elevators, now it does(in a very hacked way hehe): hehe.
I used some of the control surfaces off the 262 but mapped thier properties to the tiger parts:
The turret mount on the tank is a wing, and the turret is an aileron.
the turret is also a horizontal stab, and
the main gun is an elevator.
And the pilot position is below them as far as objects go.
This gives us the ability to operate the turret from the pilot position, however the traverse & elevation are way too fast. If there is a way to modify the speed that control surfaces move in OpenPlane, that would really help. For now, it is best to use the trim keys to rotate & elevate the gun.
The link works now.

It works now: www.mosquitonet.com/~blodgett/panzer2.5.zip 2.4 is not the version with one crew position.
Also note that I have to adjust the 2.5 to get it to climb hills again & get the correct top end. (when I uploaded it last night..Late, I didnt put it in my web folder.. its there now. IP: Logged |

Nice job on Tiger!I too am getting hard crashes (reboot) after
various hits into another Tiger. I'm also getting quivering/shaking of the view whilst inside the tank looking out the turret. It starts,accels,turns,brakes,shoots,and the turret turns and lifts (thou fast as you mentioned)just fine. Also noted the varied damage points. Keep up the Great Work! Rattler
