Goose G21

The Grumman G-21 Goose is an amphibious aircraft designed by Grumman to serve as an eight-seat "commuter" aircraft for businessmen in the Long Island area. The Goose was Grumman’s first monoplane to fly, its first twin-engined aircraft, and its first aircraft to enter commercial airline service. During World War II, the Goose became an effective transport for the US military (including the United States Coast Guard), as well as serving with many other air forces. During hostilities, the Goose took on an increasing number of combat and training roles. Wikipedia

This is based on Mikoyan99's PBY Catalina Version 1.02 available here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,36461.0.html A big thanks again Matt.

To use simply swap out your Pby folder with this one. Tested in 4.12.2m with Modact 5.30 and I could only get this to work in B.A.T. #JTW2 module. No change to the air.ini or skin folder. I apologize for the lack of extra skins due to my template being lost when a hard drive failed. I am also looking into how to make this amphibious as well

PBY 3D Upgrade for Ranwer's and Enisgn Ro's PBY/PBN Mod, version 1.0
Author: mikoyan99, SAS forums
Date: 16/08/2013

Full credit for the orginal PBY/PBN mod goes to Ensign Ro and Ranwers,
and to the original game authors. This mod is a blend of the stock PBN,
the above's turrets/cockpit/weapons and my weapons/3D mods in order to make a more versatile catalina.
Additionally, a reflector gunsight has been added to the cockpit. I assume it's stock, however it was taken from Poncho's
P-47 cockpit mod to save extracting it fresh:

The original mod can be found here:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,476.0.html

It shouldn't be necessary to install the original mod first, as the modified classfiles
for the PBY are included in this version. However, the original mod is required if you want to fly the PBN.
You can either install by pasting this one over the PBN/PBY mod or, if that isn't installed, by moving folder PBY
to #SAS and adding the following lines to the listed files:


To air.ini:

PBY               air.PBY 1                                     usa01 DESERT

Plane.ru:

PBY                   PBY-5, 1940

The inner folder "PBY" should be moved to the skins folder.
A version of the original grey scheme is included.


This mod updates the PBN Nomad 3D model currently in the Catalina slot
to a "true" PBY-5 Catalina. Replaced and upgraded parts include:
~Nose turret (inside and out)
~Tailfin and rudder
~Hull - bow is shortened and the addititonal step is removed from the stern
~Skin - a basic "Black cat" skin is now the default
~New weapons suite, some fictional, mainly historical.
~New weapons models. Individual cannon and machine gun models, along with rocket rails, have been newly created.
The forward facing .50 caliber machine guns and 20mm autocannon
were fitted to the "black cats" in the pacific
Thanks again to Mikoyan99, Ranwers and everyone else involved in bring us the PBY's

Cheers,

Edlor





Moderator note
Slot by CWatson:

This is the slot I did for him, I thought he had released it:

This has been moved to WIP again as the mod has many open issues. Modders are free to take it up and finish it .
- no collision boxes (takes no damage)
- AI can't take off (engine damaged on spawn)
- gear function not plausibly solved, no amphibious abilities yet

Finaly!! I have been waiting for this one. Thank you Eldor. I would make a slot for it but my computer has windows 10 and it wont let do what I would like to. I would very greatful if someone would pick this up and make a slot for it and fix her up.

[duffys tavern]

Ya gotta be kiddin' me! Another one I thought we'd never see in IL2. Swell job. Shape and proportions look very good. Thanks for sharing.

[barrett_g]

Holy smokes!!!! And here I was counting down the days until April 21st for my annual Goose Request bump!  I can't wait for someone to make a slot for this one!!!

[barrett_g]

If no one else helps out with a slot, in about a month I may be free enough from work to try to "re-learn" how to make slots.... maybe use the J2F Duck as a placeholder since it already has amphibious code, carries the correct bomb-load, and has arty-spotter already coded as well.... it'll take time though.  I have to re-learn everything and re-download all the tools.  Hopefully someone better at it will jump in and knock it out faster!

[Fresco23]

Well well! Nice!

[dona]

Goose, Hornets, Tigercat etc, etc!!!!!!!!!! What terrific additions. Thank you so much for these EDLOR!!!!

[SAS~Storebror]

I would very greatful if someone would pick this up and make a slot for it and fix her up.

The evil germans (SAS~Skylla and me) will put it on the to-do list

Nice plane Edlor, thanks a lot!

Best regards - Mike

[Edlor]

Thanks guys.

 I'm glad you like it and you're very welcome.

@ SAS~Bombsaway  Not a problem mate. I'm hopeful that we'll get a slot soon enough and I hear ya re the Windows 10. That's why I love my Windows 7 

@ barrett_g So does this mean you'll have to find another aircraft for your countdowns ?  That would be great if you do re-learn how to do slots. I've been trying myself but it always seems to elude me. Maybe I'll take a break from the modelling and spend a year or two figuring out the java side of modding. 

@ duffys tavern Thanks. Glad I could make this one possible and I tried to get the dimensions as close to those of the original as I could.

Cheers and thanks again,

Edlor

[Edlor]

Whoa type a message and three more appear. Gotta like that. 

Thanks fresco23, dona and Mike. You're very welcome and that would be awesome of you and SAS~Skylla Mike. Muchly appreciated indeed. 

Cheers and thanks again,

Edlor

Great plane Edlor, and a great addition too... Many thanks for sharing, 

[SAS~Poltava]

Jeez Edlor, you are on a roll here!  Congratulations for yet another GREAT aircraft! Amazing!
