Ha :D

They are almost as big as a pilot in-game:




Abit smaller in RL.

Indeed! May be, they make it so big in game to let distinguish it at a distance easer.

Regarding the Wfr.Gr.21, may be, they saw something like it on some photos, but with smaller caliber  :-\
Who knows...

  • Naturally common sence is always ignored...

  There were smaller 15cm versions (as well as a bigger one 28, 34 or 36cm IIRC), it could be that when creating the game, they got the dimmensions of the Wfr.Gr.15 with the weapon effects of the 21... plus dpeending upon which aircraft carried them, the 21's look differing sizes in pic relating to A/C size. Also, I think in the triple mounted clusters, 15's were used - this/these could account for the mix up.

  I seem to remember that there was a GFX mod/fix for the 21's last year, onsite, related to an Fw190 or Bf109 loadings

"Askania" gyro-gunsight for Me-262 A-1a, Me-262 HGII loadouts update
« Reply #99 on: September 23, 2011, 03:54:31 PM »


Me-262 A-1a: "Revi" gunsight changed to "Askania" gyro-gunsight with working range gauge and rotating wingspan knob.

Me-262 HGII loadouts list rearranged and extended:
2x Ruhrstahl X-4
2x X-4 radargesteuerte
2x X-4 radargesteuerte +2x MK 213
2x X-4 homing
2x X-4 homing + 2x MK 213
2x Ruhrstahl X-7 "Steinbock"
2x Ruhrstahl X-7 "Steinbock" + 2x MK 213
2x X-7 homing
2x X-7 homing + 2x MK 213

Added MG/MK 213 loadouts from vampire_pilot mod (http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,17406.msg186882.html#msg186882) by author permission:
4x MG 213/20
2x MG 213/20 + 2x MK 213/30
4x MK 213/30

MG/MK 213 loadouts will appear, only if U have installed some mod with MK 213 cannon (for example, Me-410 mod by Hunin, Mr.Jolly, VPMedia, Zeppo. Slow, Zorin).

Now 2x RATO boosters provided with X-4 AAM's loadouts only when fuel tanks is full; engaging, when thrust is over 100%.
Also, some little bugs fixed.

Link in first post updated. Enjoy!

 Twister thanks for this long awaited dream. I remember the days at AAA when this was long discussed and debated to death. It's just a modification based on less known facts, can be switched off if one doesn't like.
At least it is not so unhistoric, in Boehmes JG 7 publication I read they where delivered 30 up to 50 EZ 42 for frontline use in III./JG 7 from Askania. Around their time being based at Brandenburg-Briest. Theo Weissenberger didn't liked it, so he changed back to Revi 16/B in his personal mount. We have a complete fictional Lerche too. Even your X-4 is not such fiction, Green 3 is known as W.Nr. 111994, known served as W.Gr.21 testbed in JG 7.
Gerd Lindner Test flew it according his Logbook before it was handed over to Stab JG 7, with W.Gr.21, R100BS (up to 5 on a single Me 262 A-1a) & X-4 Ruhrstahl in March 1945. Most likely at E-Stelle Tarnewitz, where weapon trials conducted. The X-4 were test mounted under Wings but not fired. http://issuu.com/penandsword/docs/last_days_of_the_luftwaffe

:( Doesn't seem to work in DBW 1.6?
Only way I get Askania static-replacement with entries in Cockpitfolder to Me-262A and a file called hier.him.
This way I have Askania showing up on V-3, A-1a, A-1a/U4, A-2a and HGII. Gyro-mode doesn't work,
with or without all classfiles. To get rid of the yellow centered Reticle 1 remnants I need to make this tga black.
When I use Me-262A-1a.him, I get stock Revi16/B. Classfiles seem to have no effect too. Only adding one or two
loadouts to HGII.
Guess all for Me 262 s now hardcoded in DBW, not so easy anymore
Maybe someone tries to make it compatible for DBW, would be really great.
BTW. will tinker a bit and try a Modact install, EZ 42, this must be used
Thank you very much Twister

yep, the rangefinder gunsights allways where a kind of a problem codewise. the way DBW "rewrites" the stock slots makes this effect explainable.

same here btw.
I now remember this was another reason why I pypassed that mod in DBW. the other was the RATO thing I disliked.

 8) Made it to work in Modact 3.06, incredible, never knew the 262 is fying like a whacky horse. Needs lot of control to keep the diamonds at the target. Once you figured it out, it needs practice, but then you only have a small window in time left to make it, overshooting. Found a new Toy, even if it's for stock Me 262, don't care.

Can you help me to realise one idea?
I would like to split me-262 in two files 1944 and 1946.
the 1944 model  should  be the original Me-262 or Me-262 Ultimate Pack v2.1
and the 1946 model shold be the same model only with "Askania" gyro-gunsight instead of "Revi" and new loadouts so with this mod

I can confirm that extended loadouts for the A-1 and A-2 do not appear in DBW.  :(

Also, when launched X-4 radargesteuerte remain stationary in midair. Is this another problem with DBW?
