So far this is day 10 on the GForce Mustang stuka project. Exterrior model is prity much compleat and most of the exterior model has been texture maped.

so here are the pictures of the FREE ware stuka, enjoy 8)

Note: both halves are mirrored just for picture purposes and will be diferant on final model

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

So tell us what you think Smiley

PROGRESS REPORT:

Ok, we have now made a few semi successful exports, by that I mean every thing is in order exept we are missing the left wheel.

Texture wise we havent applied any new texture maps but I have just finished painting the 2d panel.

Oh, and Bman, we might just make a cfs3 version but it probibaly wont have all of the whistles and bells of the stock cfs3 airplanes. (gunner positions nice vc, winter textures) simply because It will take quite a bit of extra work, and if we are are going to put the amount of work into it we might as well sell it.

The reasion we came to this conclution is because time spent working on this airplane is time not spent on our f-18, and our goal is to get some money before summer vacation Tongue

Now come on...surely you'll add in the gunner position if it's for CFS3...we'll be a sitting duck flying that against targets over Britain if the Spits come up... Grin...LOL.

Now all we need is a CFS3 Hurricane...any takers?

I can't quite "place" the version G-force is modelling - although it looks like a "B".

Note that later versions of the Ju-87 (and some Bs, in the field) did away with the siren, so a "silent" Stuka is still realistic.

Just a little nit-picky comment on the texture maps.

If you want a historical Stuka - the swastika needs to be turned 45 degrees, so that the overall shape looks like a diamond and not a square.

If you want to distribute it hassle-free internationally (i.e. Germany) you'll have to substitute a graphic to replace it completely.

I first learned of the swastika issue while working at Eidos while working on Confirmed Kill. Maybe the laws have been changed, but in 1999 you couldn't sell anything in Germany that had a swastika on it. I don't have a copy of IL-2, but from the screen shots that I've seen, they came up with a graphic very similar to the one we developed for CK. Microsoft CFS3 aircraft seem to have swastikas, but I don't know if they're allowed to be sold in Germany or if the Germans have their own special edition.

Something to be aware of when getting ready for distribution.

CK?  I miss it - While at first having CTD issues, I liked the flight model, and especially the visuals.  I liked flying the transport (Tabby?) ... different from the "usual" Ju-52 and C-47s of other online games.

Yes, I was in the CK beta-tester ranks, and was saddened when it was ended.

Yeah, I noticed that on an earlyer Ju 87 uploaded to this sight. but the picture I was going off of when I made the textures had the sawastica as shown on my textures.  ???  but I can go ahead and rotate them, It will be no trouble at all. Ty for the info Wink

Ok sure whitey Wink why not Tongue  so now we are going to go ahead and make freeware for all cfs2, fs2002, and
CFS3!!!
a'right Wink

Yes Felix the airplane that we have made is the Ju-87B-2 im glad you were able to recognize it Grin Grin Yes some of the "B"s and later models didnt have the siren because during the Battle of Britain they needed all the speed they could get out of an already slow stuka. However we might just put a siren on to please people. Also whitey if we do make it for CFS3 we will make it have a gunner.


Eidos, Thanx for your input on the swastica on the tail. Greatly appriciated. Anymore comments or corrections will also be appriciated.

Finaly the CFS3 Version will be freeware since it is the sim most of you want it in...
