UPDATE! Include Cirx's AHS fix and removed a bug related to the pilots heads. Please remove your previous versions before installing this one.

@ Pongie: I haven't been able to find that mod, but the bulges ingame are reasonably accurate.

S!

Anto, if you mean the gun bulges on the stock Bf109G-6 Early/Late, they are off and not only by a bit. They look like Madonna's bras Muas's HotRod Bf1096G-6 with the new tail/canopy combination has them corrected to resemble the real bulges.

[Guest]

I just did a comparison between the default G6 and Muas's and the cowling bulges are identical. When I was working on the oil cooler, I checked the proportions of the bulges and they seemed fine. BUT as always if you can provide a good comparison and a link to this mod, I'll consider it

[Flanker35M]

S!

The bulges in stock planes are too high and wrong shape, like cones. They are round in the real plane. I will re-check the Muas's mod for this. I also saw some pictures in a mod thread where the bulges were much sleeker than the originals. Also gathering data for the modders to get rid of the wrongly modelled Bf109 windscreen and canopy..No more BeSure™

Here is a picture of the bulges, shows pretty well how much OFF the IL2 originals are. These are much rounder and follow the curvature of the plane nose. Linky: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php? ... ne&thumb=4

Here is a picture of the Erla Haube, quite different than the piss yellow view obstructing monstrosity we have in IL2 now. Also note the shape of the windscreen side glass framing! Linky: http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php? ... mz&thumb=4

I just remembered Zorin was over it, I hope final success it's just a few steps away so we can receive one big Messerschmitt 109 - update soon.

You can't stop us from dreaming, right?

Greets and keep up your good work,

S!

I looked at the thread and that is what I meant Zorin has remade the bulges to look much more realistic. Also if we now could have the canopy and windscreen fixed as well Would make the Erla Haube worth it Been dreaming of these changes for ages..

Had an interesting dogfight the other day.....flying a G-4 Trop.
Chasing down a Yak I nearly crash into it, I fired at the last second and I survived!!!! The enemy blew up.
I saved the track and when I watch it from inside the cockpit that's what happen I survive.
When however I watch it from the Outside view, I crash and blow up and die !! Weird

@ Flanker: Okay I've had a look at Zorin's thread, I see what you mean by the shape. When it's made available (with correct gun positions) I'll implement it in all appropriate models

[Flanker35M]

S!

Good news I hope Zorin will not be overworking on all his mods I have got attention to the cockpit errors too, which is great. Oleg never admitted they were wrong but photos and drawings prove different, including the Erla Haube. So maybe one day we will have the Bf109 flying there looking as it should..

[Guest]

One thing which you will be happy about though is the Bf-109G-14 early does not feature those stupid dive lines on the canopy that the default G-14 has. I've also made sure it uses G-6 parts instead of K-4 parts that Oleg used.

I would tackle making a new canopy but currently my 3D skills are very limited and I'm really only okay at hack-jobing

[Flanker35M]

S!

If I had 3D skills I would work on the canopy and cockpit already. Seems Oleg & Team uses a pretty strange system in modelling when reading the forums..But the future of the Bf109 looks great now when it gets the attention it deserves, as does many other planes too.

This project has been on pause whilst I've been focusing on the Spitfire/Hurricane pack. Hopefully this week going to look at the LOD issues and smoothing, maybe even see if there is anything that can be done about those god awful shadows. So where the project stands, the following needs to be done:

- Fix LOD issues on new parts
- Fix smoothing groups on cowling
- Remove 30mm cannon option from G-6 trop
- Fix bulges on G-6 trop (using Zorin's mod)
- Add new FM to G-6 trop (based off Karaya's G-6 early FM)
- Add G-10/G-14 earlys

No timeline set at the moment, but once the Spitfires/Hurricanes are out the way, expect a final release (pending bugs )

*UPDATE RELEASED!!*

Thanks to SAS~Cirx from the Special Air Service, the remaining coding is done! This new release includes two additional aircraft, the Bf-109G-10 early and Bf-109G-14 early, which include a historic loadout (with MG151/20 motorkannon and WfGfr.21s selectable) and correct 3D model at the time of their introduction (short tailwheels, no large wing bulges and no K-4 parts). Also the G-6trop has been fixed, now has the correct loadout (no 30mm cannon available) and it now uses the G-6 Erla FM by Karaya.

All that remains is the minor smoothing/LOD issues and if I decide to, maybe the shadows *shudders*

[Aragorn1963]

Superb, Anto, I'm off downloading!

[cgagan]

Excellent work! No problems with d/l and installation. Thank you so much
P.S. Any clues regarding the "G6bug" (whenever I select that model the game crashes to the desktop; nothing to do with this mod, it's an old and ongoing story)
Cheers,
