Ed Doyle Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I built this Radial engine for my Corsair. I see a lot of new users are building the FW 190. This engine should work for them too. I've attached the project file. Ed[attachmentid=14439][attachmentid=14440] Radial_for_Hash.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Doyle Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Thanks Michael. It could use a few more details, like the carburetor and a few other things. But they'd hardly show in a plane except for a close up. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nice looking engine. Did you offset the cylinders? Hard to tell from that angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMZ_TimeLord Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Did the 190 have a radial engine? I thought it was a V-block type (V12)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Doyle Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi Dhar. No, there's no offset. But the naming convention in the PWS will allow for manipulation of any of the cyclinder structures. The engine is hardly accurate. It was only meant to suggest a perception of a radial engine. I tried to keep the patch count as low as possible , but there are still 1300 patches. Actually the PW Wasp engine, as you may know, used in the Corsair, Hellcat and many other fighters had 18 cylinders, 2 banks of 9. Ed Timelord. I'm not sure, I've always assumed so due to the shape of the cowl. I"ll check that out. Ed Yup. Just checked it out, The FW 190 had a BMW radial, twin row, not unlike the "Twin Wasp" in appearance.

MMZ_TimeLord Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Ah... it must be another fighter of that era that had the Rolls Royce V12.... I think it was an american plane... Thanks for clearing that up... and thanks for the model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
