Check out the readme for all info on drop tanks and nav lights.

The release scheme is by Yardstick and is 256. The SM does support 1024 textures and you can finally pick up Cas's great P-51B schemes at the 26th website ( HERE )

Post any bugs you find here or mail me with the info. The FM is by Jug and any problems you find I'm sure he would like to know.

You can pick the new plane up at the hangar under the WW2 page on the right side menu.

It weighs in at 2.2 megs and has everyhting you need.

Absolutely love it Raz, this is just another example of your talent, and the talent we all enjoy here at SDOE...

Psi

one thing I've noticed though is, when it gets hit in the nose the D/M bullet holes are above the surface???

Razer, don't get discouraged if you don't get a lot of response. There is a lot coming out all at once (WWI Pak2, new P-51D .sm, new Scramble mission pak, your P-51B, etc). To say nothing of summer vacations and a heat wave which is keeping a lot of people outdoors in the evening unless they have A.C.

I haven't put her through the ringer yet but I like her very much so far. However, I can't get Casualty's 1024 skin to display as 1024. I have installed the plane twice and still no hi-res skin. Are you sure it's not displaying at 512?

I don't see a download link when I go to the P-51B page. Anyone else having this problem?

I get an Internet Explorer script error message saying Server is undefined.

I'll try it with mozilla and see what happens.

Just checked- no download link on the page in mozilla either

Thanks for the info guys, the DM on this plane wasn't touched so things are off since it's the P-51D DM.

Jerry, I just checked the SM and a old SM got in the mix and it was set back to 512. If I release an updated SM with some fixes I'll add the 1024 support.

Here's a link right to the file if your having trouble finding it.

Razer,

Great Job, it's a fantastic addon.

My feedback:
- I noticed that looking outside of the cockpit (F2) the boundaries between the front of the canopy/glasses and the fuselage aren't matching very well. It looks like some gap between the parts.
I'm right or maybe a videocard problem?

- Would be possible to use the same pilot used in P-51D (with head movements)?

Thank You.
Loco

Loco: I know about the cockpit, didn't have time to fox that. I'll look into the pilot thng and see if it's just a ref. name change.

Razer:
¿That what is activated with Sifht L is? the lights of the wings work with X.

Did I find to see that somebody said that the tanks could lose fuel.... ¿is this correct?

Hey guys, just wonderin if it would be possible to have the pilots head track the closest tower...that would be so cool to do a fly by then hit f8 and watch the pilot look at you!!!! Maybe place something on the tower the pilot could target..what do you think???


Just havin fun thinkin

Raz isn't down just out of town.

I should be back at the Hangar Skunk works tonight. The fuel thing on the drop tanks is a small puff of smoke to simulate the fuel spill when released. It looks cool

I release a patch to add the high res support, new (better) drop tanks and maybe a fix for the front of the cockpit and bullets on the nose and add the tifs I left out for one of the gauges. This will be my last release before moving so i'll probably be offline start wed. of next week.

sturm, this is already in the D I just need to move that pilot over to this plane.

Hey I'm glad you're here, I have a question. Maybe this is for you and or DJ, I was wondering if the bubble canopy on the "D" could be recolored to be like what you did for the "B"? it looks better on the "B" at distance than the blueish tint on the "D"

the 2nd level cockpit on the D is a colored poly and not a transparent object.

It would be a simple 2 sec fix to change this on Jugs next release (add the B's tif). All you have to do it set the tex index to that of the transparent tif. Though I think the P-51D is really transparent polys set in the materials and not using a tif like the P-51B.


also, there's no lower LOD for the fuse but there may be if I return after moving.

Hang on Razer- I just got a updated model from jedi

Rounded tail section and belly scoop, 3d stabilizers, and a couple other mods.

I'll post a pic later.

Please keep in mind gents, the original 10 planes are not only being reworked on the FM side, but the models are being upgraded.

Plus with Razer's limited time before he's offline, there are other updates I think you guys would like to see. I'm FM'ing one this weekend you haven't seen yet (she' a beauty), and the other needs some more cockpit framing done before the next beta is released.

Any requests for upgrade to the original planes- please post in the DIME projects section where we can keep track of them.

Thanks
