Title: Whatever happened to the B-25?
Post by: EagleDNY on July 18, 2007, 01:05:27 PM
I'm just wondering (since we are getting no news), what ever happened to the B-25?  It's been 3 months since the big vote, and I'm wondering how much longer it will take to design and skin the B-25.  

Any news would be appreciated...

well, it takes time to model something like that, especially when they need to research all the different versions. i'm betting they will add more than one variant, so that takes even more time. HTC is a small company, with only waffle and superfly working on modelling, so it'll take a while

true but i thought they said their going to start out with one model.And then they will start working on the others.I think the first one that will be comming out is the B-25 with all the MG's in the nose.

Ben Affleck is practicing his CV takeoffs with it. We will not get it released to us until the procedure is nailed down.

Cripes, I was hoping for a 2007 release too.

There were a lot of prototypes and test beds, some dedicated trainers, and a few converted to transports for Ike and the boys,.... plus the Navy designations were different than Army Air Corps designations,.... but in the end, the major production models that saw combat were:
B-25 B
B-25 C/D (same plane, different factories)  (PBJ-1C/D)
B-25 G   (PBJ-1G)
B-25 H   (PBJ-1H)
B-25 J    (PBJ-1J)

Seems most want the B in modified Doolittle form, the G or H with the howizer, or the J for strafing.  So, you'll get the C/D variant.... at least the skinners will be happy.

I was about to say, it only takes maybe 8 hours or so to make a model, texturing and skinning doesn't take that long. The cockpit and gunner areas shouldn't take that long. Sound stuff is a breeze, coding, getting the weapons correct and getting the FM correct is what should take the longest. Our guys over at PoE can spit out a done model for BF2 in about two days. And we all have full time jobs on top of our work on the mod.

 I am not criticizing HTC. I am just saying it takes a LONG, LONG, LONG time for things to get done over there. So I would say give it two weeks and we should have it.

I'm pretty sure the B-25 will be out in the next actual version. BEFORE that we might see some patches to the existing version.

Cool! I'll pay $160  of my personal money if you can make me a working model of a HS-129. I need it to be low poly, no geometry errors (no concurrent verts / planar quad faces), fully animated, including all interior parts. 2 1024 textures in BMP format pls (one interior / one exterior). Ooops  - I forgot the 3d damage modelling  / bullet holes. Oh yeah - I need LODS and some other things as well....

Can I have that by 8am tomorrow?;)
