If you have a plane with an updated FM that wasn't included in the contest pack or the 5.3b patch, now is the time to get it ready.
I have no idea what ever happen to the Damage fixes since Kopper has gone AWOL.

Lets get this rolling, Even though i still have no net at home i'm willing to get this done so we can see some updates. Might want to include the new Mustang if the FM is ready.

Lets have it guys, hit me with the updates.

If you mail me something to get added, send it to Files@fshangar.com subject "Planepack Update"

then tell me what the update is.

- new Yak
- updated 190a4, Spit V, Spit1a FM's
- open hangars

Would like to see:

- common engine DM for all planes (fuel leaks, fires). Maybe the .303 and .50 calibers will kill something online then.

- all of nat and mposis's new ships
- new zero
- new p51 with climb rate toned down
- new p38 with WEP power
- pe-2 even if it's not totally finished?

Let's test 5.4 alot online first.. plane packs are slow coming these days so we'll have to live with it for a looong time.

Keep the things coming!

It uses obprob so it isn't "scripted"

One technique he used that I like is to have a small fire that turns into a big fire after its inflicted enough damage.

Seriously - I would say the I16 DM is not perfect at all (at least I think it is not, cause I really can't remember what I did there ). One thing that needs to be better is the Pilot-kill-mechanism. It does work, but only partly (see flak fire..). So I thought about changing the lod of the mysterious 'Ab thingy inside the pilotxx.sm files (somewhat like the heard of the pilot), so we don't need those weird fire-thing I used on the I16.

Engine Damage - we should find a standart for hit detection and at wich damage levels (what) functions are called (i.e. 25%, 50% and 75%). Then we could change those functions (fuel leak, fire, explosion etc.) individually for every plane.

However - RAZER !!! Could you wait some more weeks ?? I would add this to the I16:

- new pilot (lod+DM)
- better cockpit/instruments (less texture usage for the I16..)
- better gunsight
- moving ailerons (when they are used as flaps..)
- better FM (if someone would help me...)

and yeah - I would give away a free Pe2 beta, but fully functional:

- working DM (maybe a bit basic, but better than the "normal" shipped DM
- good FM (if Tail could do this in 2-3 weeks, see DM)
- full working instrument panel
- working crew members (...)
- intensively tested by the whole Pe2-test-team = bug free

..so beta means only some graphical stuff (like cockpit glass, some more inside detail etc.) !!!

What did you think ??

How about instead of 5.4 we deem it 6.0 (since it will most likely be a major change dm and aircraft-wise)

posted 07-19- 03:33 PM               

Forgot this : better sound for I16 (Actually sampling the motor of my girlfirens "mobile" )

I would also give away the Pe2.sm file as a base for all future 2 engined bombers (like Bf110 ).

Is the current I-16 engine sound a sewing machine?

I hope you addresed some of this.
And thanks. Maybe it will help with my frustration level

I just made the takeoffs easier, even the AI can take off from the hardest airfields.
There is a new DM for the engine too.

Climb rate and top speeds at alt still match the real plane at military power. It turns slightly better than the p51.

The spit bleeds speed faster now and the p51d will hopefully have a lower climb rate making the A4 more competitive.

Plus, i might have something to add to the list of planes myself.

The reason I would like it included is it could be driven toward a target and that would give you a time line in missions. KILL the FW quick or the tanks shoots your downed pilots etc etc.

Snickers is working on the p38 and wants to calibrate it so it has climb rate and speed at WEP with no external fuel tanks rather than the fighter configuration, no-WEP it is currently calibrated to. The other planes including the 190a4 are already calibrated this way (or better )

HEY STRANGER!

Could you send me your "fixed" 109's so I can roll in my:

A.) Fuel-tank CofG fixes
B.) Fixed grounds handeling
C.) Fixed "rate-of-climb speed
D.) Fixed Max-speed @ best Alt.

I want Pang to have enough time to do his FM magic.

Probably will not have cockpit refelctions yet. (This would be optional along with the movable Joystick, Rudder pedals and Landing gear lights)

I would also like to see the ships, drivable Tiger tank, Stuka ground unit and the new Weapons added to the new pack. Maybe even a Train What about the new Italian Planes?

I have a BSK36 ICB(incen. cluster bomb) in the works, or similar CBU.

posted 07-20- 08:51 AM               

I don't have a problem with everything else and i'll be glad to put anything you guys want in the pack. I just can't put those planes in, sorry. I would have no problem putting them in out of respect for Panzer since last i heard he was still in the hospital.

That reminds me, has anyone heard anything new about panzer?
