Hi all,

I've noted the following mistakes in the 3D models of the different versions of the LaGG-3 in the game.

Serie 1 : ok, but there shouldn't be any slats on the leading edge of the wings. The fuselage protection plate after the exhaust stacks don't have the proper shape (to be easily modified in the skin template). Pitot tube should be straight and not crancked under the port wing.
Serie 4 : there should be only one UBS machine gun on the upper engine deck, not two as in the game 3D model. This armament, was only installed on serie 1, 2 and 3 and removed on later series to gain weight. Other points same as above.
Serie 11 : no leading edge slats and the rudder shall be straigt verticaly with still a couterbalance weight on the upper side. The exhaust stacks should be the simple model as on series 1 and 4.
Serie 29 : same as above except the rudder which is correct with no counterbalance weight and a crancked upper part.
Serie 35 : OK for me (even the larger belly radiator air scoop has been modelled).
Serie 66 : OK for me
IT model : seems OK.

Did somebody think about modifying the 3D models of these airplanes?

My advice: post about this at the Aviaskins forum. They are modding Russian planes. In fact there are 2 new Lagg-3 slots available there. They also work on the 3D. If you want, let me know exactly the message you want to post, and I'll do it for you over there (English is OK). But you can post yourself too; you will be welcome.

Hi Vincent,

Could you please do it for me?
I've also noticed that the propellor hub isn't correct for the serie 29, 35, 66 and IT (and certainly the propellor itself as it should be of the VISh-105 model instead of the VISh-66. The spinner shall be larger as should be the blades this following the installation of the new Klimov M-105PF instaed of the older M-105PA.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Thank for detail detection, months ago was done a nice corrections on P-40.
We need more 3Dmax experts here.

They're probably the reasons why, they fly better in the game, than they actually did

[UF_Shoki]

Well not really, they fly better because the game doesn't take in account the production mishapes...
The basic plane, even if a little bit too heavy, was a good one but needed experienced pilots which was not the case on monoplane fighters early in the war in Soviet Union .

OK I'll post on your behalf M8!
