Hi Ton, thanks !!!

Oh no.... That's strange with all updates until today this number can't be increased, 3000 is very very very low poly for today's standard...

Anyway, check what I sent. I don't remember if it's 3DS of .obj format.

Thanks Ton !

They was the last props you sent me, in .obj format.



They have exceptional quality, but unfortunately can not be used in IL-2.

Hi,

No, I meant what I JUST sent...

A lighter version of the B-17 F&D prop, let me know if it works.

Maybe harder to map as it's triangles now and not quads.

[ton414]

The new prop will not work: 4774 polys.



Maybe I could use the F4U prop, this works. only I have to adapt it to the B-17, and a new mapped.

[Hueyman]

mm... There is really a problem.

Or something I don't understand in Blender... Blender told me I had 2559 vertices ( not polys ... )

Anyway, I'll start again new blades in low poly, like this F4U prop.

No, please don't waste time adapting this prop to the B-17, it's unrealistic.

Early B-17 got thin blade near roots and getting larger as blade lenght increase then decrease again, like early DC-3. Late versions like F and G got the " paddle " blades.

So I'll create new blades for the B-17, will try to do this this week.

Sorry for that, I should have modeled with less polys since the beginning it would be simpler.

Thanks Ton !

Hi there !

After a very busy year ( incoming months will be even more ahah ! ), I'm back to my beloved first sim that Pacific Fighter ( yeah, IL2 ... ) is

I would like to continue my little work to support this very old sim, for that it never gets old ! Jeronimo and Ton414 made excellent works with their cowling and prop mods, so I will try to continue to model more and more propellers model for them and for you the community.

I had hard times understanding IL2 core engine hates ploys, even with nowadays hardware... so all my first props were obsolete because too much ploys... I had to restart from scratch.

Here is my new effort, the Hamilton Standard Hydromatic propeller, 23E50 hub with 6477 blades, a 11,7 ft diam. 3 bladed propeller, one of the most beautifully shaped IMHO. It is designed to be mounted on the Wright R-1820 of the B-17, R-1830 of the B-24 and Pratt & Whitney R-1830 of C-47/DC-3



Next ones will be : B-29, P-47, F4U-7 Four blades, B-17D&E, Civilian DC-3, A-20 and B-25

If you have specific prop you would like I model, just let me know, I'm specialized in all kind of prop, from simplest two bladed wooden one up to the most complex modern engineering Hartzells !









Off-topic but I also started a plane I'm in love with for a while, for another sim :



If only I had more free time ...

Cheers,
Hueyman

Hi Hueyman
I'm glad to see you back, great props and wonderful plane you are making.
As I said you the new prop works fine on IL-2, you can see it here, it only has to be mapped correctly.
Now Jeronimo is on vacation, when he is back he will include it in his mod pack.
