European Air War - The Gen

I have very little fiddling with FMs proper. Luckily there was always someone else to do the difficult bit :) Loadouts and weapons now, I have done extensively, but prior to that we need a proper WW1 weapons list. Can't be too difficult, can it? Fairly simple range of fairly small bombs. Did they ha...

Fro example, the Swordfish FM would make a good base for the two man observation planes like the RE8 and Albatross C3 and the Bulldog would work as a start for the fighters.

Good plan.

It's a bunch of good work. Do you want me to post any pix at simhq? I could describe it as a 1.6 side project.

As to FMs. Some I can match up with some which were created for the original Western Front setup, other I'm essentially matching with stand-ins at the moment just to show the models flying.

I see that this thread, for some reason, has had over eight, now nearly nine million views!

Okay I finally got around to making a planeset with Ray's new WW1 allied skins, this first one is a French/Belgian/US set. Here are the first screenies: http://mogggy.org/pictures/SCRN0071.jpg http://mogggy.org/pictures/SCRN0072.jpg http://mogggy.org/pictures/SCRN0073.jpg http://mogggy.org/pictures/...

However, since I have a lifetime ban at SimHQ I was hoping you could really hype it for me.

I'm sure we can do that. Could put the downloads on a new page on my website.

This is great work Ray, and I'm sure there are a few others who will appreciate.

What are you thinking about for distribution?

Great set Ray

What did you do about FMs?

Is there a package for diwnload yet?

Here's DOM's formation notes from 2002:

Apologies to Lolo, this thread appears to have got lost in the Crosswinds crash and various restorations. You were asking about tools to edit frmation.dat Mr.Jelly made such a tool in 2009, I have version 5, but no instructions on how to use other than this exchange I had with him also in 2008, whic...

Glad to hear you're making great progress with this.

That is an odd-looking plane!

Seems a very sensible way of going about it. At the level of 3dz complexity of these planes, 100% compliance is practially impossible.

Any further thoughts about FMs?
