37mm AAA gun mod for First Eagles Expansion Pack 1 by Tailspin
 
Like the title says this mod provides 37mm AAA guns to First Eagles Exp. Pack 1. This just the guns themselves along with a custom tracer and gun sound. You will have to place the guns on the map yourself.
 
..................................................................................................................................................................................
 
Contents:
 
37mm Sockelflak...Complete new model and texture provided by P10ppy
 
37mm Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon...reportedly common balloon defense gun.
 
1pdr Vickers Maxim gun
 
The Vickers and Hotchkiss models are "placeholders" (there is no 3d model available at this time) based on the A-Team's AAA Machine gunners.
 
New Tracer.tga for the guns by P10ppy
 
Custom sound file for the guns by me.

THANKS to P10ppy, BBandyRFC, and the A-Team for their contributions, aid, advice, and assistance.
 
Hope you enjoy.

I found the default trenches looking rather flat, so I enhanced the textures and added a little variation in colour. The result looks more defined, although the bitmaps still have the same size.
 
Installation:
 
Just unzip the files in the WWI\Terrain\WWIVerdun folder.

This version includes a number of changes, which are explained in the readme. With these modifications, it works on my system, and I have no problem with stats. I can't guarantee you'll have the same results, as the stats problem seems to be very system dependent, and mission time seems to have an affect also. I'm reposting this because it works for me, and it might work for you. It adds a bit to immersion, so if you can get it to work, I think it's worth it. Complete installation instructions are contained in the readme.
 
My thanks to Kesslebrut, and Geo, for the use of their ground objects. If you tinker with this, and wish to post a modified version, feel free, just don't mod the ground objects without the specific permission of the original authors.
 
When Geo finishes his superb new German 77mm gun, and his new 75, I will post a types and targets ini update to take advantage of them. From the screenshot he posted at ThirdWire, they should be fantastic!
 
As always, you use these files at your own risk. I hope they work for you as well as they worked for me.

New Le Prieur Rockets for the FE-Addon Spad VII 180
 
I did them in a bit of a weird way to…
Stop the AI jettisoning them
Give them an upward trajectory on launch
 
Caveats
You can’t launch them in groups or all at once (they seemed to be historically bulk fired)
Never seen the AI use them (did the AI use them pre Addon?)
They are REALLY inaccurate, on purpose; use a lot of them from about 150 metres…
 
Included are a:
New Spad_180_data.ini (with the weapon stations added)
New Spad_180.ini (with the loadout file added)
New Spad_180_Loadout.ini
Le_Prieur_map.bmp
Le_Prieur_Rocket.LOD
Le_Prieur_Tube.LOD
 
REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE USING THESE ONES
 
You will have to extract the WEAPONDATA.INI and the WEAPONDATA.DAT from the ObjectData.CAT if you haven’t already and place them in a folder called “Weapons” in the “objects” folder (you may have to make the “Weapons” folder)
Place the Le_Prieur_map.bmp, Le_Prieur_Rocket.LOD, and Le_Prieur_Tube.LOD in the “Weapons” folder has well
The Spad_180XXX.ini files go in the “Aircraft/SPAD7_180” folder
Open the WEAPONDATA.INI in a text editor and add to the bottom

Note [WeaponData0XX] should be sequential with any thing you already have there

That should be all
 
 
If you want to add the rockets to another craft using the Spad_180_data.ini as an example
 
Add these Systems to the bottom of the appropriate wing sections (SystemName[XXX]= should be sequential with systems already there)

In the Weapon Stations section add these stations (Weapon Stations usually go after the gun entries)
The two first stations are for the non-jettisonable launch tubes (graphic only)
The Attachment Position will vary with differing aircraft
AttachmentPosition= -3.04,0.50,0.05 equals 3.04m to the left, 0.5m to the front, and 0.05m above the aircrafts CG
The RightWingRocketRail is exactly the same except the first number (3.04) is positive, meaning to the right
 
The following 8 Weapon Stations are for the rockets themselves
Their Attachment Positions are similar to the first two EXCEPT:
Left and right are the same as the first 2 and should alternate positive/negative (eg 3.04 for WingRockets01 and -3.04 for WingRockets02)
Forward/backward are also the same except add 0.01 (eg 0.51 vs. 0.50)
Up and down, add 0.017 for the first two (WingRockets01, WingRockets02)
Add 0.137 too the next two (WingRockets03, WingRockets04)
Add 0.257 too the next two (WingRockets05, WingRockets06)
Add 0.377 too the last two (WingRockets07, WingRockets08)
 
All other values shouldn’t need changing unless you already have some weapon stations listed (you may need to change the StationID / StationGroupID)

Little mod of the Spad VII to turn it into a Spad XII (apologies and acknowledgement to Gr.Viper who went before me)
 
Model changes: removal of the nose humps and reskin
XXX_data.ini changes: tweaked flight model reflecting the much heavier weight, more powerful engine (220hp nominal), wing stagger, better aerodynamics, and more wing area
New weapon (37mm S.A.M.C.) New (it’s a mod of stock) reloading sound for the canon (its slow), New firing effect for the canon (cockpit smoke)
New hanger and loading screens
 
The canon is on the secondary fire button and takes 12 sec to reload (new sound more or less reflects this)
It has 12 reloads
I have seen the A.I get infrequent hits with this setup (I’m pretty infrequent too)
---------------------------------------------------
A few “Facts”
 
The Spad XII was a beefed up version of the Spad VII with a new engine (Hispano-Suiza 8Cb 220hp) and a slightly more refined fuselage, more wing area and the most obvious difference, slight wing stagger (something we can’t do with the stock model)
It had a 37mm S.A.M.C. semi-automatic canon with twelve reloads mounted to fire through the prop hub and with the breech situated between the pilot’s legs
Because of the breech placement the controls were of the Deperdussin type (wheel)
 
After initial enthusiasm for the aircraft by the French ace Georges Guynemer, the Aéronautique Militaire placed an order for 1000 airframes,
However the Spad XII proved very difficult to fly with its unfamiliar controls, the new weapon filled the cockpit with smoke on firing and was difficult to aim and reload, and to cap it off, the new Hispano-Suiza proved to be unreliable
Its doubtful that more than twenty aircraft were completed and these were issued singly to individual Aces of the Aéronautique Militaire, There were never more than 6-8 on the front at any one time and they were widely spread throughout the Escadrille’s

Files
New Reloading sound: gun_reloadlg.wav goes in the Sounds folder
The SOUNDLIST.INI must be modified to add the sound (this must be extracted to the flight folder if you haven’t already) see below
 
New gunfire effect: 37mmSpad.ini must be placed in the effects folder
 
New cannon must be added to the bottom of your GUNDATA.INI (this must be extracted to the Objects folder if you haven’t already) see below, and then the GUNDATA.INI must be opened and saved with the gun editor
 
New aircraft folder SPAD_XII placed in the Objects/aircraft folder
This contains 4 skins (the French aces, Nungesser of Esc65, Madon of 38ESC, Fonck of Esc103 and Guynemer of Esc3),
the Ini’s necessary for the craft,
a hanger screen and two version of the loading screen: wide(default) and normal (you must rename it to use it)
