Provided you alter your starup.ppf correctly yes it works. Complete with texture with message to the axis.IP: Logged |

Does it work? LOL!!! If you even think of being under 15,000-17,000 feet when you drop it...they'll be writing a letter to your parents real soon...Jag and I worked on it for about 2 and a half hours one night...and it does work. Just makes sure you add this to your startup.ppf (Could someone please add this line in for the next PP...please?!!!):"aircraft/weapons/tallboy.sm" ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless!

Just beware, your lanc setup will now not be online compatible, I have two installs one for online one for offline which includes the tallboy. Now if was the online std . Good luck and remember to fly high.IP: Logged |

Just a lanc question here (my fav bomber of WWII), has that fuel bug been fixed? One of my long-time projects has been a collection of dam busters raid missions for online use, but it's kinda hard flying with fuel going out almost as fast as one could put it back in... Thanks! Werner IP: Logged |

You know what you're talking about ? Atomic bombs just for fun ? Atomic bombs as online standart ? Maybe KZ's too ? No guys ! When you talk about such things in this way, let me say this: it is a fucking-stupid-dog-shit-like idea !!! I dont like that idea ! If you want to use it for you're own at home, do it, if it is fun for you, but online standart ? LK IP: Logged |

Calm down Laika, this thread is on the tallboy. As you know there is another thread going elsewhere on the A-bomb.By the way you weren't around but we had a good knock-down drag-out over having an A-bomb in SDOE on Pete's old board. IP: Logged |

Hey, the Tallboy is like a tac nuke already! It has a 'vaporize' radius of 17000ft!IP: Logged |

Laika--The Tallboy is basically a huge bomb (12,000 lbs)that hung underneath the Lanc (a similar bomb to the Grand Slam at 22,000 lbs.)-- these weren't nukes! These were big-ass bombs the Brits used to sink the Tirpitz and to penetrate the thick sub pen walls-- then would drive themselves deep into the ground on impact and then after a small delay-- they would then explode--causing a big boom! You are thinking of FatBoy I think. ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless! IP: Logged |

But SDOE does not model underground detonation, so the Tallboy is like a 12000lb surface detonation. 500lb bombs are not as devastating as those in SDOE, as evident in teh intro movie and B52 bombs in VietnamIP: Logged |

When I get back from vacation next week I'll finish up the Lanc Special and release her. If you select the Dam Buster loadout, you'll get this plane: If you select Tallboy or Grandslam loadout, you'll get this one: You'll have to do a manual swapout (or use Chameleon) to change the skin from Dam Buster to Grand Slammer tho. Also, it will be a separate model from the Lancaster, so it shouldn't cause any mismatch problems (I hope). I may create slightly less powerful versions of the Tallboy and Grand Slam as well--kinda silly to be blowing yourself out of the sky at 15000 feet with what was in reality a sort of pinpoint-attack weapon (too bad we don't have any tunnels or U-Boot pens to use em on--maybe we can get a Tirpitz tho)  Still haven't got the bouncing bomb to work either...  ------------------ --jedi--

Heya biggs...Well I sent out the "non-Lanc" loadout that came from the default Lanc...but if you want the loadout that everyone is using now-- I believe it is just included with PP 5.3b...or at least this is the one that everyone is using...as far as I know-- the one that is online compatible does NOT contain the Tallboy-- and is the one you really want...so you may not want the one I just sent you...d0gmA of someone else might know more than I do... ------------------ Brought to you by the campaign for a better Dauntless!
