Sheesh, what a blatant suck up that was.

















I like suck ups.


You know, I think I have a better rudder and elevators already done for this model. I'll have to look around for them.

Hi Guys,

Now this is probably a very silly question but I don't understand enough to know the answer myself. Do all the 12 or 16 aircraft in each formation have to be the same type? The reason I ask is that some squadrons flew a mixture of Hurricane models. By that I mean that many started off with IA, replaced them with IIA (both 8 x 0.303 mg), moved on the IIB (12 x 0.303 mg) and then "graduated to IIC with 4 x 20mm cannon. I doubt the changeover happened overnight so initially 213 would I suspect have both IIB & IIC operating together, and 6 Squadron definitely had a mix of IIC and IID with 2 x 0.303 and 2 x 40mm anti tank cannon. I would imagine that the different armaments would require different FM so I presume they would not be compatible?

Any thoughts?

Peter

Peter,

until our wunderkinder (AKA Ralf) comes up with a solution, no. The skins can be different at the moment but the flight model (FM) is the same.

And, Ray has sent me the updated model bits and I fixed the skin to match the minor variations that came with the corrected 3dzs.

Ray, a bonus check will post as soon as I can skin the new bills...
