Author	Topic: pre pre pre alpha Emil anyone?
ArgonV Pilot	posted 07-07- 02:47 AM Just kidding! Its not another Emil but the Mistel instead! I know it doesnt look historicly accurate, but just trying to get the concept to work with Open Plane is a feat in itself. I would appriciate ANY help and ideas to get this working correctly. Here's a pre pre pre Alpha teaser pic. Right now the Bf-109 is attached to the Ju-88 (although there are no supports yet) You CAN jump into the Bf-109 and Ju-88 cockpits. But at present you can only control the Ju-88 from either cockpits. They are both CAricraft (the Ju-88 isnt a bomb that looks like an aircraft) and this thing does fly. When I hit F5 to actually switch planes(instead of hitting F7 to just change positions) and then F6 for the Ju-88 I get a CTD. This will be a long work in progress...

ArgonV Pilot	posted 07-07- 05:10 AM Ok Ive updated some things since that pic. I moved the pilot body to the Bf-109. I also put the cockpit back on the bf-109 and got its propFast working. I deleted all the pylons, guns and gun positions off the Ju-88 (this thing was stripped right?) IP: Logged
wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 07-07- 01:30 PM It was more than stripped. The cockpit was replaced with a bolt on bomb warhead, looking ...... odd I have some pics of it somewhere if they are any help. IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 07-07- 02:50 PM Actually, the earlier Mistels did not have the bolt on bomb warhead. The Mistel S1 for instance was no more than a striped down Ju-88 A-4 with some explosives in the cockpit and a Bf-109F held on top with struts. The later Mistels such as the 3C had the bolt replacement. P.S. I do my homework yes? IP: Logged
Laika 801 Pilot	posted 07-07- 06:22 PM Might be that I miss something - all I know (not much) about the mistel-conzept is that the Ju88 was used as a bomb, with no control after release. So I wonder, why not make a Ju88 bomb (remove all "useless" properties like gear-dofs...crew positions, remove all useless parts..., tune the phyInertiaThings) and place it on a extra pylon with a nice lod ? This way you wont run into problems ?! Years ago I worked with bombs in OPS and there was nothing special in the .sm file, just some airfoils and phyInertia. So it should work !? LK IP: Logged
semmern Pilot	posted 07-08- 03:36 AM There was also a trainer version wih a longer fuselage and manned Ju-88 cockpit. The longer fuselage was to prevent the Me's prop hitting the cockpit. IP: Logged
