Idk what the limit on polygons per mesh is, but due to some work with Gmax trying to make a new prop for my P-47 in FSX, I do know what a polygon is...

We're just slightly tired of your ... misinformed posts in our WIPS :wink:

Beautiful progress, mates!

Sexy looking plane indeed! I guess pilot would have to jettison the prop in order to bale out safely, like on Do335 or XP-55.

Bailing out? Hell no, RAM THOSE B-29s :twisted: :twisted:

Japanese pilots generally didn't bale out. Although their high command ordered them to wear parachutes, most pilots regarding parachute straps as an unnecessary hindrance to flying an aeroplane. (From interview with Saburo Sakai)

Yes. J7W1 can jettison the prop by igniting powder in bolts at reduction gear box　When pilot bails out.　But this system is not equiped in J7W1 #1.

yest but the pilots followed the order, especially the home defence pilots.

in the beginning the Japanese refused to carry a chute or even a radio, because they did not need it and wanted to get rid of the weight (no armour either).
but on later stages, especially when fighting over own territory they had to carry a chute. i read it also in Saburo Sakais boook for the first time. There was an order for the pilots to carry it, although he said he didn't like it.

at some point Japan felt the loss of pilots and realized it had to have a better pilot saving program. too late obviously and I assume some fighting over this issue may have happened in high command....

but as a matter of fact, especially home defence pilots did carry a chute. Not the jumping itself was disgracing but doing so over enemy territory and become prisoner.

New Shot.
Now I'm renaming objects to IL-2's way like as WIngROut_D0...WingRMid_D0...,and WingTip Light and vapor are working.

I haven't made damage models yet.

Very impressive work! One of my faves! I love canard aircraft. Does it FLY like a Canard? I dont know if IL2's engine is capable of simulating a canard flight. Makes me craft a P-55 (with a GOOD engine).

She is looking very nice, each time more and more so.

One thing though - shouldn't the vapor come off the rear wings, and not off the canards?

hock: hock: hock: One of the hottest aircraft mod!

Think u might have to tweak those flaps a little. Are they supposed to be right on the Vertical stabilizers?

Not really;
(From Wikepedia)Since the cores of vortices have a very low pressure, when the air is of high humidity, water vapour condenses to form cloud in the vortex cores, allowing wingtip vortices to be seen. This is most common on aircraft flying at high angles of attack, such as fighter aircraft in high g maneuvers

In a Canard airplane the higher AOA is comming from the canard as it moves quicker relative to the COG so it will vortix before the rear wings do

according to AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH LABS MELBOURNE "A canard above or coplanar with the wing delayed wing vortex breakdown"
