That looks great Rendsburger!

The minesweeper loadout looks interesting too...I wonder how that worked?

Great plane.

Harman,
the minesweeperring is a pylon
Add a LOD to your model and make it as a pylon:
(obProto 'COrdPylon)

Now you can switch the ring on or of in the loadout.ppf by simple using the name of the pylon LOD (here LOpylon).
Example:
(ordLoadMinesweeper
(ordInitList (
(ordHardpoint (ordName 'LOPylon))
(gunInit (gunName 'gun2 gunMV 2660 gunWeight .022 gunROF 300 gunWarhead 0 gunAmmo 800 gunChain 0 gunSound "sndMG2" gunRange 3000))
))
)

Sweet! I love this plane, it's nice to see it getting worked on. Any plans for DM changes in the future Rendsburger?

As for the minesweeper there Harman, I'm no expert on the subject but I believe that ring formed a very large solonoid which was supposed to set off the mines , magnetic ones especially I believe, via a powerful el-mag field. Maybe one of our resident weapons gurus can clarify this.

OK Rends you stealer of thunder.... The PBY has the minesweeper loadout also (even working on mines to sweep). Seriously, it looks good....
The PBY still has deep secrets but this thread isnt about the PBY, its about Rends excellent work... Again good job...

BTW - The "ring" is a large electromagnet. Come in a _very_ low altitude with the ring energized and mines with magnetic triggers would be detonated.... Hopefully taking others (non magnetic) out with them....

Snickers, does this mean that the PBY can kill mines?
I was thinking about making this workable but i never realized it.

We are working on it... There may (cross your fingers) be a working prototye that comes out with the PBY in early September.... This is one of the reasons the PBY has been so much more than a plane to build...

What altitude was yours used at....?

What did you mean? The plane at the pic? It flies about 400ft.
Or did you mean real minesweeping? I didnīt know that.But maybe i can find it out.

Minesweeping..... For the PBY it was about 50 feet. Anything lower and they stood a chance of damaging the plane, anything higher and it might not set off the mine... I was wondering if yourse worked at about the same altitude. If so, we may be able to share the same target....

Thanks for that guys, very interesting indeed, you know I have made placable mines that will explode when a vehicle or plane (well...most of them) run over them. I don't know how one would go about sweeping them with this though...

Werner,
itīs possible that the a new DM will be in the update file too!

Snickers, couldnīt find any information about the altitude where the minesweeperring worked, but SDOE didnīt allow AI to fly below 400ft so a working ring should be able to detonate mines at this altitude.

Anyone out there who wants to make a texture for this plane?
Iīm not a good painter and the texture painting slows down all my other work at this plane.
If someone will do that i can send him some pics of this plane if needed.
