B17G to B17F

[tgycgijoes]

I modified the blank od texture today from Nath and removed the chin turret because the aircraft I want to do is an F with no chin turret not a B17G however, being a novice at this, I forgot that the chin turret is still there in the .MDL file though it is dark gray with no texture on it. Therefore, my question for Scott/Lewis: Is there any chance for you guys to make an .MDL file of a B-17F with no chin turret for us guys to download? It would then be up to the repainter to paint his texture. I am not an expert and I was able to do it so I am sure the really great repainters could make a blank nmf and od available as soon as you guys did the model file. I was able to open the .MDL file to observe it today. It did not look difficult to do but again I am not an expert. Guys??? It would make a lot more B-17s available for repainting some great noseart. I know that the panel was a bit different but externally it would be an "F". I personally like that better than putting B17F noseart and markings onto a B17G. Thank you for a fantastic airplane in the A2A B-17G Accusim. I love flying it. Have almost 100 hours in it since I started flying it in the 91st BG.

Hello,

no plans for this afraid, the F variant differs vastly to the G variant with many external differences from nose to tail but most importantly some big system changes internally.

thanks,
Lewis
