Mogster Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Aye OK, I was advocating the Ju52 in a more general sense really. Surely their absence just indicates that air transport was pretty much impossible for the Luftwaffe over France/Holland in mid 1944. How many LeOs did the Luftwaffe actually operate? Not many? The Ju52 is far more important in the context of the whole of WW2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogster Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) You’d think that a flyable C47 would make a good test project for further larger multi crew aircraft in future. The Mosquito is almost a twin single seater. It’s large but doesn’t have the complexity of multiple crew stations. It would have similar handling and engine systems to a medium bomber like the Ju88 or B25 but would be far simpler.

A bit extreme, isnt it? … the aircraft still serves as a mission target, after all the point is downing them before the troops deploy. They also serve as backdrop for other missions, and provide immersion while still at the airbase. 4 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrett_g Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Does the C-47 sound like a high-Revving turbo-prop to anyone else? Im wondering if maybe my install is porked. My C-47 sounds like 2 Edge 540’s flying in formation! edit— never mind… it was my Edge 540 mod that conflicted with the C-47 sounds for some reason.

Cool Breeze Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Anyone know why the C-47 won't show up in the mission editor regardless of the time period selected? I have the WW II Assets pack installed and the C-47 shows up in the encyclopedia. I've done a repair on the Open Beta also. When I go to the mission editor for the WW II era the transport category disappears, and no C-47.

That is indeed odd, "Combined Joint Task Forces" should give you an expanded list. Maybe a coalition selection issue?

Cool Breeze Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Having the clock off seemed to fix the issue, but that begs the question as to why. Selecting the WW II coalition presets and changing the date to a 1940's time period should be right where the Skytrain operated. May be it has something to do with the Transport category disappearing all together in the 1940's and doesn't show back up until 1954 with the 'Clock' on.
