European Air War - The Gen

I've been thinking that I should but a note on each aircraft hangar screen with some basic info since the data for WWI planes is not as well known as WWII.

I already do that on all the prototype and "what-if" models, both WWI and WWII.

That would also help with putting together planesets.

Yes, I have a finished Sopwith Snapper. It just missed WWI so you might not need it. But I am also finishing up the Aviatik D 7 which did make it under the wire. I'll upload a fresh set in the next couple of days that includes both of these. I came across the nice website that lists all the aircraft...

Yeah, we always think the world is gonna end when this happens and then..............it doesn't. :D But that reminds me. I have to get the latest aircraft_inventory files up to the server before the world ends. Oh and BTW, I actually have instructions for my wife to get hold of you for when my world...

Sorry, I posted an answer couple of days ago but it didn't show up. Anyhow, here's what I found: An ini setting for 1.28A/C of "OldDamage=0” default setting while a “=1” enables the 1.2 compatible bullet damage calculation and the default EAW1.2 engine overheat model. That's about it. I don't t...

Well, at least you don't have to sit around the fire for the next week or so gazing at your navel.

FWIW, I have a dedicated 20 year old Dell PC with Windows Vista just for EAW. I think my wife is gonna have it buried with me, like the Vikings did with their dogs.

Still working through some lesser known aircraft from Germany and the Allies: Nieuport 25 ( a prototype with a 200 HP rotary ). I didn't make a separate set of skins for this one. I used the Nieuport 24 skins as it was an upgrade to the engine and wings with no visible changes: http://mogggy.org/Rot...

Basically I think of this as digital model making. A return to my youth except the models aren't hanging from the ceiling, they're flying around in virtual space.

If you boys want to do the research I'd be happy to work on some other nations' planes.

Just dropped by to let you all know I finished three more German planes: 1 - Siemens'-Schuckert D I. Easy conversion from the Nieuport 11. 2 - Siemens'-Schuckert D IV. I used the Russian I-5 as a base trying to save time but there were a lot of R/S issues which slowed me down. 3 - Siemens'-Schuckert...

Suppose the same map could be used for a WW 1 scenario.

It's a start but man, there would be a lot of work to do to get a compete setup.

A WW 1 Italian or Russian front scenario would require A LOT of work. We still don't have a fully functional Western Front so I doubt we'll see either of those.

Are you referring to WW1 or WW 2? I ask because there's a ton of Italian and Russian models for WW 2 in the aircraft inventory. I'm not sure about the scenarios though as that wasn't something I was too involved with. Couple of other things: 1 - I'm building a Siemens-Schukert D I and D IV to add to...

After thinking about it over night I'm going to repackage the new planes into one zip file that can be expanded into the "Aircraft_Inventory folder named "WWI planes". Then it's easy to use the PSM program to select the planes a player wants to fly. That's how I have it in my own setu...

Eleven months later and there is a complete set of WWI planes uploaded to the GEN server. I will leave it to Moggy to figure out the best way to disseminate them to any players who'd like to try them out. I'd appreciate feedback on both the models and the flight characteristics. Also, I will continu...

Thanks and the same to you. I'm just about done with adding bombs to the models and hope to have a complete set of planes for you to evaluate by the weekend. If you're not up to speed on how to add these planes to a 1.6 EAW setup we can coach you through the process. It's not hard. The only "fl...
