Slippa Posted October 24 Posted October 24 cheers Waterman I’ve had a mess about with it. I think those pics got me itching to get in it. Should’ve known it wasn’t as easy as 1, 2, 3 for cockpit positions. I’m ready to fly it 1
crazyeddie Posted October 24 Posted October 24 (edited) Created a short mission - 1 x Lancaster with Tallboy, take off, circuit and land back at Babushara. Ramp to Take Off - okay (Noticed the tail wheel never leaves the ground, the aircraft rises from 3 wheels on the ground - not sure that is right !!) After take off aircraft turns to right or left - drops the tallboy and the Port Outer engine stops - aircraft crosses coast to head back to airfield but never makes it, crashes into the sea. Does not appear to happen with other weapon loads but still playing with it (Edit later - it also happens with other loads, sometimes it drops the weapons first but not always, the port outer engine always stops) (AND STILL LOVING IT !)

crazyeddie Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Are you guys planning a psd template with this ? There are quite a few different liveries that could be added, even one for the proposed Lancaster operation in the Pacific War - if it had gone that far (It didnt and I dont think the livery was ever employed in any numbers). 1
flyingscotsman Posted October 25 Posted October 25 Thank you for this MOD. I managed to keep formation in a Spit, but had to zig zag a lot to slow down, then tested the damage model, which I didn't expect to work, with a FW190! Had to rid the gauntlet from Top & Rear Turrets, well....done to both and there were guys baling out when I overtook it. Smashing! Great! Marvellous! 3
crazyeddie Posted October 28 Posted October 28 (edited) Post WW2 RAF potentials - very much a WIP for now, I wont take it any further until the finished mod is released. Image and paint job upgraded. These lighter liveries are going to be quite hard to get right, the darker WW2 paint jobs hide things that only become aparent when you go light. But nothing that cant be fixed with patience. This image is just paint slapped on the right places, no panel lines or wear, that may come later if there is a decent psd. Edited October 30 by crazyeddie 7

Interesting find, what weight was it saying in the mission editor? is it possible that the aircraft is overweight and trying to dump said weight?

The PSD files I work in to export it to substance though are probably too big and filled with rivets, they have to be a PSB (Photoshops large file) becuase they are too big to be PSD now. TW900 EMF, the white one is a tiger force livery for use in the far east, not seen any pacific liveries though On 10/20/2025 at 9:50 PM, waterman said: Yes that is what should happen but it does not ! Just a few words from the Moderators would have been nice for the Lancaster Team. But its just the same old Stone Cold Silence from Moderators for any user made New Mods. Very bad form to just turn your backs and put your fingers in your ears . " Wake up and smell the roses guys " this is an exceptional effort and great for the future of WW2 and DCS ! Nineline pops in here every now and again, I need to make a video so its more widely known that the AI is released but its all just finding time to make it and put it together 1 Minor Lancaster Fanboy

WW2 B type roundel : Modern 2:1 roundel : Relinking to the post I made about them here. I thought I had resolved it, maybe I didnt push it to all of the sets of wings with different weathering though? On 10/24/2025 at 3:42 AM, Slippa said: cheers Waterman I’ve had a mess about with it.

I’m ready to fly it It is in the flyable one :), If that doesnt work try control (left or right i dont remember) F2 which is pretty similar to the F4 camera and you can use shift and control to speed the camera movement up or down respectively null 6 2 Minor Lancaster Fanboy

We want it to be a good release. at the moment half of the stuff doesnt work as intended and has inaccuracies or isnt workin at all. theres alot of work in the FM to find the correct way that it flies and to make it follow the laws of physics and then theres all of they systems and the errors they can have from being hit by a bullet. We want to wait for a more feature complete aircraft before releasing basically. Its worth doing so its worth doing correctly null 10 Minor Lancaster Fanboy
