Me 163 Komet for the Bf 109K Slot in European Air War

Update by Jimmy Olsan August 2002:

I updated this aircraft with a new (external veiw) cockpit and fixed the terrible skin wrinkling for the wings and the tail, and made the tail non-mirroring, plus added a new skin, with an overlayed transparent element for the unit badge near the nose. The fuselage was just too much of a mess to fix 100% correctly, but I'm sure somebody else will one day *8-)

Old Readme:
By Charles Gunst - April 2001
This Me 163 Komet replaces the Bf 109K in EAW, and is intended for use with ECA (Enemy Coast Ahead) Control Panel (which is available from most of the websites listed below). 
Unzip all files and copy the *.TPC and *.3DZ files into your EAW directory. The Komet takes the place of the Bf109K, using ECA Control Panel v3.2 or later.

To install, just unzip the *.TPC and *.3DZ files in this zip file into your EAW directory (the one with EAW.EXE in it). To un-install, simply remove them from your EAW directory.

To achieve the proper visual effect when flying with the EAW 2D cockpit (i.e. to eliminate the propellor from the in-cockpit view), do the following. From the EAW Main Menu  go to "Configure Game", then "Graphics", and then for "Show Propellor in Cockpit" select "Off".

This is a major reconstruction job on an EAW 3D shape, to create the Me 163 Komet rocket fighter for use in EAW. It actually started life as the Pacific Air War P39 Airacobra shape, and uses as a base a P39 skin by Claudion Wilches from Alessandro's site, with the 3D cockpit and wing views from Christian "Mosi" Mosimann's Ta183. The shape is not perfect - the wings are a bit low, the undercarriage is off (EAW does not provide for jettisionable wheels), and there are some distortions in the skin, but it looks pretty right from a distance.
