B-26B Midway Marauder

B-26B Midway Marauder 2024-06-10

No permission to download
This is a stand alone repaint of the stock B-26C done up as a B-26B for the included Battle of Midway mission. (First Lieutenant James Muri's aircraft #22850 was actually an A model with no machine guns but we don't have one of those in CFS3.)

I've added a full set of lights, and the pylon files will give you the external hanger system they rigged up at Pearl Harbor just prior to the battle to carry the torpedo on a B-26.

The pre-dawn mission requires that you have added the Midway Island pack as well as the Japanese Carriers to your PTO installation. I'm calling out the version of the carriers that are flush to the water when you get close because I was having trouble getting the torpedo to detonate on the full height ones. You can switch it with a text edit if the deck popping up and down bothers you more than watching your torpedo pass harmlessly under the flat top. (ijn_akagi versus ijn_akagi_full_height) The take off looks a bit strange as the last half of the runway is under a skin of water but just stick with it and you can still get in the air okay.

This is one of my "Ghost In the Machine" models so look for a picture of the crew on the dash. Lt. Muri is kneeling down, second from the left, holding the map. A collection of historical accounts of the mission and a link to a very interesting flight training film are in this pack as well.
