No worries, man! I believe the P-40E/M may have been part of the Forgotten Battles release around 2003/2004?? Anyway, it could do with a wee facelift. Motion seconded .

Hello again,

I have a small request for a future DT patch. I've been flying the J8A in a Finnish campaign and I have noticed a small anomaly which can perhaps be corrected. When parked, with the engine stopped, the propellor of the J8A is a wooden fixed pitch propellor that is tan in colour. When the engine is running, the spinning texture of the propellor is black with yellow warning tips. Would it be possible to make a tan-coloured spinning propellor texture without warning tips to maximize the J8A's immersion factor?

Thanks very much,

Fafnir_6

Just to give a try:

- Set in "Controls" the option of FOV "Extra Wide", like 115º, and the subsequent implements betwen this new FOV setting and "Wide" FOV.

Simple and "life changing" feature. Thanks.

A minor adaptation, nonetheless welcome:
a correct Revi for J8A.
Could not remember hearing of a finnish Galdiator being rigged with a japanese sight...

Fafnir and Schnaps .... i have asked about the J8a before ... apparently the J8a fixes are already under way:

So? It's a mod. Heard it before. Nothing special. All the major mod packs attempt improved sounds, this is not news to anyone.

By the way, all those P40s trailing exhaust smoke, totally wrong effect.

Ever seen a P40 fly? I have. They do not trail black exhaust smoke.

No Allison engined aircraft do.

More flights of fancy from kids making mods that have seen too many movies.

Awesome! I had no idea this was underway. DT never ceases to amaze. Thanks for setting us straight .

@EL Aurens, Fireflyerz, Viikate, etc: Oh my god...What have I started?

Cheers,

I mean no disprespect to anyone, but we all know what the mods sound like, I have a mod install on my machine. It's OK, mostly because of the array of aircraft that are flyable.

Is it the best thing since sliced bread, no. It's an alternative and nothing more.

Jaffa, your personal attack on me just proves my point better than anything I could write.

And no, P40s do not trail black smoke. Only restored Bf 109s that are run over rich to save their irreplaceable DB engines show that, and B52s and F4 Phantoms of course.

If you think my info comes from wiki then I suggest you know even less than you purport to.

Have a nice day.
