Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

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.

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

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.

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

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...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

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...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

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...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

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...

You NEVER have to apologize on this forum. We are about sharing of ideas and readily accept suggestions.

I will add the three gun version for you. :yes:

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

Armament, max ceiling, max range, turning circle and all other flight characteristics are not a problem. The problem is getting the damn thing to fly at 45-60 MPH in a flight sim originally meant to fly planes at 300-500 MPH. I have been able to get the speeds down into the 90 MPH range but lower th...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

One thing I forgot to mention.

The Zeppin FM is not cooperating. Pretty hard to fly something at 45MPH in a flight sim originally set up for planes doing 350MPH.

I have a couple of ideas but I didn't include it in this set of files.

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

I have uploaded a complete "Provisional" set of WWI planes to the server for testing. I made many small changes to a lot of the 3dz models so the old ones should be removed. I think the FM's are close, still not sure about the damage points, but that can be cleared up with some testing. Ag...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

1 - I've been playing around a bit with the Camel FM so it's not quite so violent but the drift to the right is still there. From my readings it seems the plane always required joysick input to remain in level flight. I suppose if a player gets tired of this propensity they could turn off the torque...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

Off topic but important for anyone still interested in EAW. I saw where FsFoot had a lengthy screed over on SimHQ about the Code Group. A couple of things: 1 - Moggy's reply was short and sweet, totally debunking the idea the Code Group, Mr. Jelly in particular, act like we think we're owners of the...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

Found a couple of major R/S issues with the first attempt so I had to go back and make some changes. Here's the Airco DH4: http://mogggy.org/Rotton50/WW1/AircoDH4.jpg Also, I found a treasure trove of less well know WWI aircraft including drawings and flight data so once the basics are taken care of...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre

Ok, thanks. Oh also, I added the Airco DH4 to the mix. Didn't take much because I was able to mix and match previous sections from other models and make relatively minor adjustments. Fuselage from the SE5a, Prop from the RE8, wings from the Aviatek C2 and tail from the Breguet. Changed the skins a b...
