P51 cockpit upgrade il2 194612/24/2023 Unfortunately it replaces the default P-51B pit, so you will have to make a choice. OK, will add the pit here this week later. This is what we currently have.with the FM pack. TBH I tried to erase the additional mast/Mirror setup but had no joy.I repeat, I am not a modeller at all. While the Pony pack P-51As look more pristine, on these little details a 2nd look might be rewarding. This one was from Wiki and shows a P-51A before being transitioned to Great Britain IIRC Link will come in this post as soon as I have tested the final version this week.Ī request for anyone willing to consider it, humble one:Ĭould you please check the P-51 A "antenna"/cable to mast setup again, as well as the mirror setup:Īccording to my last research, P-51As (not the GB versions) did neither have canopy mounted top mirrors nor a 2nd "mast" towards the rudder section of the airframe.some links to shots: and the simply unsophisticated slightly buggy sucker here is the only which gave a halfway convincing result, especially if you use the 2nd cockpit (zoomed in) view. For the mirror, trust me, tried all sorts of meshes, covers etc. Here is (will be) the link, as I said WIP, left some marked out "-" files as options in. This is what I made, a better shaped gunsight by Bolox was rejected because the aiming view and FOV was completely too low, also the gunsight sank in the front cover, also incorrect. Well, I chose the setup I made and modified the base folders. with an all black front panel and a similar mirror as well as very saturated green. The real thing looks something like this, you WILL find different layouts for P-51A cockpits, e.g. So, I opted to keep my very long tested trusty P-51A pit mod and only add a 2nd version with very minorly different gauge and gauge reflection setups by Bolox, whom we owe this very cockpit anyway. Same I saw on the Hornet SAS cockpits BTW, and any other two mirror setup even if only one mesh type was used. Even more so, having two mirrors of that 'calibre' proved to be very FPS decreasing. This is mesh and coding related afaik and outside my limits. I came back backing off the 2 mirror approach, but welcome anyone at FM or SAS to take on improiving this work/WIP.ĭual mirrors in the setup 2 different meshes and entries for a center armor glass mirror and an upper canopy classic early Stang mirror resulted in erratic display of images - details go to far here, but I documented it.in short:Įither, if the upper mirror is dominant and mesh 1, the lower armored windscreen mirror showed an inverted image-or-vice versa, if the upper mirror was assigned the "secondary" mesh as for these mirrors, it showed an LSD image. I fiddled a bit more with the P-51A (Means USAF version) cockpit and documented part of this hassle in our SAS modder forum area. OK chaps, this does not aim at creating anger or mess.simply a humble gift and a humble request.I am thankful! some modders at Fm revived my lust in P-51s.
