Hold everything!!! Paul Clawson has done as I anticipated & given permission to tweak & overhaul his planes. Only stipulation is that a copy of his original Read me is included with any uploads.
Got some work done on it. Decided to re-texture the whole thing from scrach. Both the model and texture are in ruff shape still. I don't think I can do the flaperon and prop reverse is done bar flight dynamics (.air)
....Do the ailerons dropping down using the the normal piviot or use a droping system like below?

Look at any pics I see nothing that looks like a droping system for the SB2U.
I can get The B24 Guy props but you should PM about using the first or I can map the still blades to another .bmp like The B24 Guys still prop uses. The back disc and front disk for the Ki-30 are the same. It is dual sided.
A slow day for the SB2U. I use the stock TBD-1 Devs DP as a base and reboxed it to fix the SB2U. It is and aircraft of similar shape, side and construction over all and had wing tanks. I set it up as -3 with 4 50 cals in the wings. Bombs are what the old DP had but I fit the bombs better to the model.
Same basic plane by Paul Clawson, just some different paint and mods. The 476K file is Paul's original SB2U-1 in pre-war colors. For right now if you want a SB2U in a Battle of Midway paint job then download my SB2U-3 repaint/mod (734K) of Paul's original aircraft. The two-plane package (1.9Mb) is a rework of Paul's plane done by the Virtual Navy crew that added several features such as folding wings, flaps, a better canopy, and a basic VC. The screenshots above show the VN pre-war plane with my repaint applied by Keltic. The blue/gray camo version in the package uses different texture mapping from the pre-war version and my paint doesn't cover the cockpit area. And finally there's W. Wright's VB-3 repaint of Paul's plane (513K). Here's a screenshot of my paint on Paul's original plane, not the VN version.
The thing is that the slow disc and blurred disc that I have for a 2 blade props are fom the FS2004 Jenny that came with the FS2004 game pack. Getting them remaped to work with the CFS2 based texture has been a pain.
I used them for the Sopwith 1½ Strutter but it didn't use a front/back setup on the prop disks. Gettting the back to be remap right wasn't fun.
I re did the anamation in gMax it was not that bad for this plane.
