This is just for the SINGLE unit, not for the "formation" units. ;)

For them, I've deleted crew, glasses, propellers, markings, guns, and bomb loadout.

Now, the last part, and the less funny, is to script some air raids over Germany and occupied territories. I need some historical background, and also I have to learn how to add a scripted mission file into a campaign file .... :hmmm:

Mission Editor -> File -> Merge

Lovely as always! Since I love to drive people crazy with suggestions....maybe some B-24's? And their Halifax & Lancaster pals (late in the war, daylight British raids became more common).

I agree, having these overhead are a little detail that shows just how hopeless the war was for Germany after 1944. :up:

Sure, but not for right now. I've discovered other B-17 formations that I would like to create.

... indeed ! :wah:

Last problem : the particles stay white at night, so the contrails are still visible. How could I correct this ?

Also in the .cfg file :

[Unit]
ClassName=B17_CB36
UnitType=301
MaxSpeed=250.0
MinSpeed=80.0
MaxRadius=1700
Length=20.9
Width=31.6
RenownAwarded=100

What does mean MaxRadius ?

I ask this because I would like the units to be visible from a greater distance than a single aircraft, and I wonder if this is the data that controlls this parameter ...

Max Radius - the distance at which he can perform combat operations with the possibility of returning to his aerodrome.

Thank you ! :)

The mod is ready, I just have to find how to correct the particles staying white at night. :hmmm: :hmmm: :hmmm: :hmmm:

I don't find the solution. But I'm sure that in a supermod (I don't remember which), the particles are dark during the night. For example, when a torpedo hits a ship, the water splash is dark, and not white.

Can you confirm guys ?

Didn't find a working solution. Nevermind, download link available.

April fool ! :haha:

I DID solve the problem !

Identification marks
 

Wow!

Aircraft without identification marks?

"Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain!"... you're not supposed to get close enough to see that... :lol:

great idea for immersion and great work! but b17 where not the majority. british b24, machesters and wellingtons where the most common bombers over germany ;) maybe you can add those too? and maybe fires in the cities of the harbours would be nice too!

Yes, I plan to do that too. But because my time is limited, I would need someone to do researches about how/where/when these aircrafts were employed, and how they flew together (formations).

That would be great ! :yep:

Done! :sunny:

i think its too much work, adding all real dates. i would just add random flights with a group size related to the year. in 1939 add 5 raids, in 1940 15 and so on. in 1945 it might be 50 raids. even that would be work enough! what do you think?

otherwise here is a list of attacks on the uboat harbours
