Landing gear covers bf109


Recommended Posts

Posted

I would like to point out a possible improvement in the graphic detail of the bf109s used during autumn and winter. Currently the white skin represents the presence of the landing gear covers, which from my research does not represent reality. In fact, to avoid blocking the opening of the landing gear due to ice, the covers were removed. I hope this will serve for the graphic improvement of the models based on the historical period.

This could probably be done with the alpha channel on the skin, so should be changeable via a mod for the default skins.

Yes they removed it for the K-4 aswell when they used muddy ground airfields.

Obviously this information is useful for the creators of unofficial skins, but at least for the official skin I put in the post it should be updated

But with removed leg fairings the 109 has more drag ? so maybe the top speed is less with 5-15 km/h.
