Over at Sopwith's Custom Tailor Shop (Savile Row, London) several new sets of threads are being fitted for the new A-20B and A-20K.

The B is getting a nice North African look, while the K (cum Boston V) is having the full treatment in Free French, RAF and USAAC.

All coming soon!  Cool

With the promiscuous proliferation of A-20s, Havocs, P-70s and skins, I believe a totally separate install of CFS2 might be done for A-20s alone, he he.

Thanks Tom.

Man, oh, man....I just copped a peek at Sopwith's soon-to-be-released A-20 texture packs.   Now, I don't want to be telling stories out of school, but here's a little more tease.   Roll Eyes

It's good to see our work being used, and I'm sure Sopwith feels the same way.  The old A-20, like the B-25 and B-26 before her, hasn't gotten the attention she deserves in CFS2. Kiss

Your work is much appreciated TR, Sopwith, Bismark, Oldwheat, all of you that contribute to CFS2. I have everything from page 12 on, and though I'm a night fighter slut I've flown and enjoyed all versions of your A-20/Havoc/Boston/P-70. I got Sopwith's new skins and all the Skyraiders, I'm a ground attack slut too.

Keep up the good work, it's all valued.

I was saluting you in general. I found some Oldwheat textures at a new haunt of mine, AeroCrates. Popping the Parseval balloons is fun, I'm looking for a a good dirigible/Zeppelin I can attack with those stick/rockets, and trying to figger out how to arm the SE5 and other planes with those rockets.

Check six bro

Bones,
Parafrags would be kinda neat.  I think they may have been done or someone was doing them.  Can't remember.  Must be getting old. Cry  I'll look around and see what I can find.

That sure is purty, and would make  welcome addition to my Vietnam collection, I wonder if anyone did the Kenney parafrags from WW2?

We need the German "watering cans" gunpods too.

   Should be relatively easy to accomplish. Cyber-paratroopers tend to explode when they hit the ground so a little more ooomph in the DP should do the trick. Should be a whole lot easier than smoke marker rockets that work.  Anyone have any pics, 3-views & specs on those puppies.

     My first thought on the watering cans was that guns are assigned to the GUNSTATIONS section of the DP & would fire with or without the visual model BUT then the brain-fart hit me!  Assign all of the defensive guns of the aircraft to trigger 1 & the watering cans to trigger two (cannon) that way you at least have to use a different trigger.

Larry, Kenney's parafrags were 12/18 inches long, about 4 inches in diameter, they were cylinders made of about 1 inch spring steel. I don't recall if there was a stem at top for the 'chute. The fuse was a plate on the bottom that a blade of grass would set off. They have one at the Museum, I'll try and get some pics. A little more info is found at:

http://www.homeofheroes.com/wings/part2/10_cheli.html

The German Watering Cans were slightly long pods and were flattened like a P-47 fuselage drop tank. Eacg pod had either 3 MG17 or 2 of the Stuka Zwilling guns, either 3 guns or 6 guns per pod and were angled down I think at 11 or 13 degrees. They were quite effective against human wave charges of infantry. The pods are in either Squadron's FW-190 picture book or the Stuka.

I'll try and round up pictures of these things.
