B-17 or other bombers for CFS3?

Postby strekship » Fri Nov 25, 2005 10:42 pm

I have looked throught the DL section for CFS3 but have not found any bombers. Are ther any B-17/B-24/B-29's available for CFS3?

A B-17 is available at http://www.avhistory.org/
A (rather beta) B-29 is at http://www.sim-outhouse.com/
Other than that, there B-17, B-24 and B-29 in a payware pack named "Firepower.

The upcoming and free "Mediterranean Airwar" addon will have both a B-17 and B-24.

FIREPOWER is really cheap now from Amazon, and you get a lovely B-29, as well as two flavours of B-17, and most importantly, a LANCASTER!!!!  8)

I'd use AVHistory's Lancaster, but they haven't finished it yet - hint hint.
However, I do recommend their current B-17, and eagerly await the future updates.

It ain't finished yet. I've been waiting three years for that Groundcrew Lanc but it still hasn't materialised. :P

Finally a B-17! :) Can't wait to fly "A bit o'lace" ;D

Hope to man some Kondor defensive guns sometime 8)

Also, at GroundCrew you should all check out the Bf-110G4 nightfighters. There's Martin Drewes's personal plane and the mount of Wilhelm Johnen. They are must-gets for all Nachtj

Dunno, the buggers won't release it.

Memphis Belle from Just Flight is good too, as hilly9 says. However, if you also have the Firepower pack, you need a Just Flight Patch to enable them not to conflict with each other. That's available from the JustFlight site.

The other snag with Belle is that JF screwed up the multiple engines for the CFS3 version. The config file has them superimposed on top of each other,so if you have multiple throttle controls and you increase the outer port throttle, the aircraft flies straight, whereas it should veer to starboard. To fix it, you need to copy the engine positions from the FS2004 config (which are correct) and paste them over the CFS3 config.

Sorry for the overly long delay on the Lanc release, totally eaten up by my contributions to the MAW project.
Here are some, just to show you that I'm not hanging around lazy or something:  ;)
