footmunch's planes

footmunch has released a lot of very nice addons in the official forum (in this thread)! Let’s start:

First we have the Deluxe Buccaneer and the Sea Vixen.

Unless there’s anything horribly broken, these are the final versions., he says.

Then he released his beautiful Sturmovik addon.

The AI is suicidial with the bombs, and I want to give the plane a little more oomph, but it does what it’s supposed to (ie blow-up tanks from WWIIEC, I44, etc), and the WW2EC Wirblewind (excellent addon btw) shoots at it. Texturing and sounds need improvements also.

The next planes are in an alpha-version. footmunch is not sure about the textures, for example.

From the left to the right you see:

Martin B-57 Canberra:

• USAF Night Scheme

• Pilot and Gunner (with bombing view)

• Standard Rockets and Gun Pods

• Animated bomb bay and gear

• Bomb availability dependent on bombbay status

• AI opens bomb bay automatically in combat

Republic F-105 Thunderchief (aka Thud)

• Vietnam scheme

• 8 Mk82 bombs and cannon

• No cockpit model yet

• Gear animations need fixing (wheels protrude through wings)

• Canopy animation (will probably be removed, or at least sripted to close at speed)

English Electric Canberra

• RAF Scheme

• Pilot only (no gunner)

• Armaments as B-57 above

Ok guys, we are not finished yet. Here you have his big fat Avro Vulcan:

Yes, the plane is that big in real life, and yes, it is fairly manoueverable in reality. For some reason, the Shilka doesn’t fire at this plane, but the Lavos SA-13 does - this will be fixed.

Some information:

• Only a pilot position for now.

• 12 1000lb bombs (will be increased to 21)

• Open the bomb bay to drop the bombs

• AI will open bomb bay when entering “COMBAT” behaviour

I’ll try and bring these 3 (Canberra, Thud, Vulcan) up to beta
over the next few weeks.

Planned additions:

• Chaff/Flare on all three (with scripted missile spoofing)

• Finned napalm for Thud (‘Smells like… victory’)

• BullPup for Thud (taken from Sea Vixen)

• AGM-45 Shrike on Vulcan (for Falklands Black Buck missions)

• Possible Blue Steel standoff Nuke for Vulcan (not sure about this one)

• Possible Carpet-Bombing/Ripple scripting for Vulcan

• Possible cluster bomb units for all three (scripting ahoy)

• Argentine skin for Canberra (for Falklands)

• RAAF skin for Canberra (for Vietnam)

• (Insert your air force here) skin for Canberra

• Gunner(Bombardier) position for Vulcan

• Sounds and Textures

You can also download all addons directly from the thread, or take a look at his site, where you find a lot of information about the planes. Good job! :o)
