P-47 Thunderbolt cockpit modding references and discussion

Catahoulek,

The smaller reticle is from the K14 sight that originated from the P51. I am not sure that it is a 200M sight, it seems to be somewhere between 100 and 200. The brightened reticles are from your mod however. I don't know if the Mk8 was range adjustable, but if the smaller reticle is not historical, that would end the debate for me.

For a long time user of the P-47 I prefer the larger one, but it's a personal preference and I'm not sure it's historically accurate, but if it is, then Larger one please Wink

Cheers, MP

Two-weeks to release? lol Wink

My inclination was to go with the larger reticle for the sake of uniformity with most of the A/C in IL2. I just wanted see if there would be any objections to doing this.

I know the Razorback reskin is finished. That probably could have been released by now except that the BT rework is far enough along that both will probably be released together. Plus I think keeping all the P47's together in a single folder is less confusing and reduces the chance of installation errors.
I would let Taurus put a time frame on it, but I think he is making good progress. Smile

I'm sorry to say that the pit is still a few weeks away. Poncho has done some brilliant work with the meshes to correct some very major flaws in the bubbletop textures. As well as adding some much needed components. (The original creators really dropped the ball after the razorback! Some things just cannot be fixed though.)

Some more new textures were retro'd for the Razorback from the BT work.



Cheers,

Taurus.

No apologies necessary, guys. It's interesting to note that Oleg's reputed uncompromising standards for models must not have been so high after all. Still, I think most people were glad they at least had some semblance of flyable P-47, they weren't going to throw rocks at whatever they got.

Still, you guys have taken this to a whole new level and I know it is much appreciated, so take your time and do it to your level of satisfaction. I can guarantee that it will be fine with everyone on the receiving side.

Working up some textures for Ponchos new radio meshes for the bubbletop.



(I have begun modelled the tail wheel lock connecting rod through to the back wall. I am having trouble believing that this is the case. Would someone be kind enough to stick there neck over into a real D pit to see what happens to this pushrod?)

Cheers,

Taurus.

Good Stuff Taurus. Big Grin

I have a few bits and pieces that I need to send you as soon as I package them up. Don't worry, nothing that will conflict with what you are doing.

This is a youtube test I made to preview the D22 razorback cockpit. I hope it works.
