Water Bombing/ Fire Fighting in IL2 (Pics) - GPreddy - 06.12.2009

I've recently begun to make missions in which the player is flying a warbird firebomber/ water tanker. Here's some shots of that kind of thing:

The Fire


The A-26 Taking off


The A-26 Firebomber


A patched out PBY Catalina Firebomber refueling from the lake

Even though these seem cool, I've hit a snag. I can't drop water, and I can't figure out any way to add an effect that would allow me to do so. A special smoke effect is possible, like Zephyr's Pat smoke mod, but that's all I've got. I also need skins, maps, and more ideas. Please don't think of this as me begging for help, just point me in the right direction. Who knows? Maybe I'll make a few campaigns if all goes well. Thanks in advance!

Id love to see it. There was some discussion on this before

viewtopic.php?t=16041&highlight=fire+water

But no modders were available to work on it at the time. Maybe someone is looking for a new project now.

You could combine it with some flying doctors style air ambulance missions, Ive seen some pretty cool skins for those.

Who know's maybe oneday a modder could make a new slot firebomber aircraft with water effects that put out fires

Hi again!
I have two things to ask. Number one:
I need skins... Please don't feel obligated to make them, but if anyone knows where I can get firebomber or civilian skins for TBM, P2V, B-17, A-20(A-26) or L-5 (spotter), please tell me!

Also, does anyone know of a map that could be used as Greybull, Wyoming? That's the Hawkins & Powers headquarters, and a major firebombing base. If I can't Figure it out, I'm going to have to make one. And I still have trouble with getting the Microdem files into IL2. :???:

Any ideas for water?

Thanks for all your help!
