V.2 Incorporates the new V3 FM's by peter01

No remodeling or repaints.
Since SPAD 7, 12 and 13 use nearly the same airframe, I've created the new planes via FM edit i.e. by adjusting speed, engine power, weight and armaments.
 
SPAD VII is armed with single Vickers MG (the right one of the stock SPAD). Compared to SPAD XII Engine performance is lower an so is the weight. Available since summer 1916.
 
SPAD XII Ca. is a rare bird. There were only 300 of them built. The plane features a 37mm Hotchkiss cannon with muzzle placed at the prop spinner. Cannon has to be manually reloaded after each shot - the reload takes 10 secs(the stock reload sound lasts 6 secs, though). You also have one Vickers MG with reduced ammo. Engine performance is between the ones of SPAD VII and SPAD XIII. Weighs more than S.XIII so take care, especially when bearing a bomb.
 
Warning: the 37mm is set up as 'Secondary weapon' so you should have a key assigned to firing it in the controls menu. The AI will fight using Vickers only. I've tried another setup but they ended up never hitting with cannons and barely shooting MGs.
 
Update for Patch 2.. and apparently the previous update was pretty messed up (entry dates, mass, hp) which I didn't notice and no one complained This update is more thoroughly checked
 
Installation: unpack to ObjectsAircraft folder. Copy all *Camo folders from SPAD13 to SPAD7 and SPAD12.

This is an early Nieuport 17 with a wing mounted "lewis gun"
 
From the README;
 
This is just a mod of the original Nieuport 17 to represent an early model with lewis wing gun.I didn't think of or invent any of the procedures to make it I just appied them to the N17 to get the Vickers off and add the lewis.thanks to MontyCZ and Texmurphy for the original Nieuport 17 and to Capun for allowing me to use his PT17 wing gun.please direct any questions about this mod to me at the below places.while the stats for the wing gun are correct for a Lewis the model is no 100% correct.If someone makes a "true" lewis gun in the future i'll see about adding it if I can secure permission.This Mod includes 2 "Original" skins,A French camo and a Russion.They include the work of the original authors and I take no credit for that.
 
Any skins for the original should work with this one although you will need to adjust the decal.ini

EDITED AND REPAINTED STOCK FIRST EAGLES DFWC V TO REPRESENT AN EARLY WAR TWO SEATER
(DFWC I) with reduced performance to match the period...
 
for use with early war aircraft etc
 
install to the objects/aircraft folder
if for example you fly a early war aircraft and select 1914-17 as the year in the mission screen..
then only aircraft of that era will be loaded into the mission
so this aircraft allows you to fly in the correct period and have some slightly more appropiate targets/enemys
