Heinkel He-111H8 Readme

 

In early 1941 30 He-111H3s and H5s were converted to H8 standard with the addition of cable cutting gear mounted on the nose and wings to counter British barrage balloon defences. Performance was, not suprisingly, adversly affected, and the loss of 10 aircraft in short order curtailed the experiment. The specialist equipment was removed and the aircraft were re-designated He-111H8/R2 and used as glider tugs and transports, but still retained their bombing capability. The tow equipment was stowed in the tailcone.

 

This aircraft therefore represents the He-111H8/R2 with towing equipment stowed.

 

This aircraft is a mod of the A-Team's He-111H6, and grateful thanks is given to the various members of the A-Team for their kind permission to undertake this project. I have reproduced the A-Team's H-111H6 readme file below, and please see that for the credits to the original modders.

 

He-111H8 Credits:

New FM, new cockpit and alternate loading and hangar screens by Charles

Hanger screen by The Wrench

Loading screen - He-111H Italeri Box Art

Skin - V./KG 55, 1941.

Thanks must go to the CFS3 Ground Crew Design Team for their work in creating the skin (I just converted it for use in SF) and for their kind permission in allowing me to bring the skin to the SF community

 

Installation:

Extract the Objects and Sounds folders to your main Strike Fighters directory (or Wings Over Vietnam or Europe). Then load up the game and go fly.

 

Thanks to all of the modders who assisted in this project, but especially Charles for taking the time to create a new FM for this plane, to Capun and the A-team for creating the He-111H6 in the first place, and to TK for creating such wonderful sims to fly in.

 

Have fun, and good hunting!
