@Wardog
Yes, was a PPE, updated.



Ju87 Update:
Stuka is operational - plane and rear gunner.
Only thing atm is getting the bombs working properly
Don't know if it's me or just Bis bombs. Player is fine but AI are woeful.
Also AI do not get into the groove doing the Stuka Jive with 'Trumpets of Jericho', so more scripting needed there. All time consuming.

loving this big fan of W.W 2 airplanes except parachute overrides for rest of my addons modern pilots use ww2 chute's

[Imperator_Pete]

Love these! Fantastic work.

Only complaint is the fuel tank life, when I tried it I'd barely get 5 minutes in the air before I was out of fuel. Made for some interesting moments though where I'd have to land while being chased and then bail out of my aircraft as it caught fire on the ground due to strafing runs.

Please how can i respawn planes in MP mission with wings?

[CSJ]

@Saphyr
Don't know why there would be this proplem. I do not get much of a chance to play MP.
Maybe you may have to run the 'Eventhandlers init =' from the aircraft's cfg in the respawn script. ? If it worked the first time I would assume it would work again but as I said I know nothing of MP scripting.

@Imperator_Pete
Fuel last for a long time, well long enough for game usage.
Using WEP will burn duel much faster or if you get hit in the fuel tank then you have about 7 seconds to bail out.

@SuperRat
Yeah, I will have a look at it.

i don't use respawn script, i defined respawning in description.sqf. I thought that wings is other objeckts, but havent idea how to attach them to plane after respawn:-\ Planes after respawn can fly, but without wings, it looks like funny:-D They have shadows, you can hit them, but you can see them:-D

sorry, you can't see them

Debut:
Ju87 with working rear gunner.
Note:
Even though it performs well, the rear gun turret is an addition to the aircraft, it is not a turret defined within the aircraft cfg.
Do not expect it to fully function as if it was - Yet.

I was hoping to have a heavy bomber ready for this release as well
but workload/time did not permit this.
Made several chnages to all models of which the main changes have been
listed in the Change Log.
