Bf 109 Z1 "Zwilling" for European Air War

This is a major re-working of the Bf109 3D shape for EAW, to create the Bf 109 Z1 "Zwilling" twin-fuselage fighter.

The shape is by me, using a Bf109G shape with model-enhancements (such as air scoop and aerials) by Capitan Manduca and Pretzel. I used using Moggy's newly discovered method of pasting" one 3D shape file onto another, to create the twin-fuselage. The skin is by Mosi, with some changes by me to fit the new shape . There are some small rendering problems from some angles (if only I could work out the rendering sequence properly), but nothing too dramatic for such a radical re-working of the 3D shape.

To use , simply unzip all files and copy the *.TPC and *.3DZ files into your EAW directory. The Bf109Z takes the place of the Bf109E, using ECA Control Panel v3.7 or later.

The only known glitch with this shape is to do with the engines and propellors. This is a twin-engined aircraft, so you have to start both engines to fly at full power (by hitting both the Shift[ and Shift] keys). The left engine controls the appearance of both propellors, though (this is a cosmetic effect only).

I hope you enjoy the Bf109Z for EAW.
