@Fafnir: I only made a quick check and it looked fine, but I can only be certain after I made accurate comparisons in Max.

@Graf: Do you plan to revise your template to fit the D and E variants? It would be nice to have some skin packs to give to the people on release. If you should have it, I could scan you the page from Mr Vasco's book that gives all the info on stencils, marks and panel lines.

Have all of Mr. Vasco's books mate.

I've actually been reworking my template lately for more skins. If possible send me the files for the modded 110 and I can throw some nice skins together for it. No problem at all.

this look smighty nice Good work on it!

@akdavis: Certainly will. Do you happen to know how the 8xSC50 option on the main rack worked? Was it a combination of two ETC50 racks, the ones used on 109?

@Graf: As soon as I have the D0 level completed I will send you all you need.


Let me add this. Even though it may not appear on the first glance, the overall shape of the in-game 110 is off in several areas. Therefor I need to make certain elements to fit in with this shape to keep a coherent appearance, instead of building them according to factory drawings. This is especially obvious with the enlarged tail-section.

Other minor fixes, like the correct pitot tube, removal of enlarged trim tabs, correct size of tires and all that will hopefully add up to an overall satisfying result, nonetheless.

Yes, the ER4 adapter could take either 4xETC 50 racks (for 50kg bombs, e.g. SC50) or 4xRost 24 SD2 (for a total of 96 SD2s). Two ER4s could be mounted under the fuselage of the Bf110 for a total of 8 SC50s or 192 SD2s. Also, the 4 wing ETC 50 racks could be exchanged for 4 Rost 24 SD2, giving a potential total of 12 SC50s (8 fuselage, 4 wings) or 288 SD2 bomblets (192 fuselage, 96 wings).






It is my understanding that the Rost 24 SD2 dispensers were used on Bf109s and Bf110s during the opening stages of the Russian campaign (presumably before the AB series of aimable clusters were operational), particularly for attacks on airfields. I also have pics of Rost 24 SD2s on Bf109s and Ju87s if you are interested.

A WIP of the template.

Impressive!

[Zorin]

@akdavis: Thanks a lot. These will come very handy.

@Graf: Very promising so far. Would you mind taking over the Dackelbauch and droptank skinning from Phas3e? He is quite busy right now and would hand you all his stuff to get you going.

[Graf]

No problem mate. I'll see what I can do.

[JG54Spookie]

Those are probably the best 110 skins I've ever seen, and they're still WIP?! I love it. 8)

[OberstDanjeje]

Thanks Zorin the 110 need all your possible care!!!

Anyway, as far as I know, the TD are working on the G-4, better model and better mapping, not just the radar.
So the early version should have the precedence.

Thanks for all your effort and time!!!!

[Docholiday]

awfull Zorin !

I`m looking forward to Your creations. The 110 is really a beautyfull airplane. I like them.

Thanks for Your work

Early Bf-110Bs tho we don't have the models for them...yet.

These early model 110s had a solid RLM 70 paint scheme with RLM 65 underneath.

[Jaypack44]

Looking awesome, Graf! I loved your nachtjaeger skins for the 110, and I've been waiting for you to do some more ever since. Can't wait for these skins (and the planes, too) to be released!

[Fafnir_6]

Hey Zorin, I just had a chat Viikate and he assures me that the issues with Bf110G spinners/nacelles are being corrected by Team Daidalos for the next official patch. No need for you to look into it then but thanks for your willingness to look.

Cheers and happy new year,

True. Here's two unedited screenshots of G4 night fighter in it's natural inhabitant. If you look carefully, you can see that the spinners & nacelles shape is changed.
