L63. A fictitious zeppelin for target practice. You can attempt to fly it if you wish, but don't start on the ground.

I tried flying the Zeppelin, but the moment you get in the cockpit, you're already nosing to the ground and spinning. This was, in reality, a huge stable airship, so I shouldn't be getting those results when attempting to fly. Perhaps the Flight Model needs to be told that it has enormous invisible wings, and that might keep it from rolling.

 

I also had a problem when I first tried using it, where I got multiple images of the aircraft superimposed on each other. I checked the folders, and you seemed to have an L63 folder containing a whole bunch of files, plus another L63 folder in there which contained the D Folder and two other files. I pulled all the files out of the second L63 folder and placed them in the main L63 folder, and deleted the second L63 folder. This cured the multiple images.

 

I downloaded this file early this morning, so I'm assuming it was after your update. Providing we're in the same time zone, of course.

Love the Zeppelin! Thank you for this unexpected addition. Just a few constructive comments if I may though. I took one out the first time flying in at high speed from above, and experienced absolutely no defensive fire. I could be wrong (and my knowledge extends only to the Michael York Elkie Summers movie of the same name, ie: Zeppelin! :lol: ) but I think they had parabellum gunners up top.

 

The explosion also generated very little debris, a bit disappointing, but I realize those types of things at that scale must be very difficult to mod. Just an observation I suppose...

 

Also, would they have flown those massively expensive behemoths during the day, as in at least one of the missions included???

[EDIT: Oops, those missions are somebody else's download, sorry...]
