Welcome to CombatACE, raffer. Yep, they are default A/C but they are not flyable without cockpits. Adding cockpits isn't difficult. Check out "How To Make AI Planes Flyable" in the Knowledge Base thread in the WOE/WOV/SF/FE forum. The SPAD XIII cockpit works great for the Salmson. The D7 pit for the DFWC is less satisfactory but it not too bad.

I have flown the Salmson, but without a cockpit. Allow me to explain. A few weeks ago, when I got bored, I decided to see if the F-14 would fly in FE. It did, to an extent. My mistake came in installing the weapons pack, which jacked up my game pretty bad. I have no idea what happened. My game may have thought it was SFP1. But I digress. I went into a campaign, and and the "Mercanary" option was available. With monkeylike curiosity, I entered that campaign. It showed my first mission as "Army Co-operation" with "Craft: 2 Salmson 2 A2". I loaded the mission up, and I was actually piloting the Salmson, to an extent. (It stands to reason that I was too stupid to take a screencap.) It was rather sluggish on the controls, and had a max speed of 111 mph. The cockpit mode just showed me the propeller in front of me, and the guns above me. The guns would not do anything.

 

It sucked.

 

I did reinstall FE though, so it's all good now.

 

Oh, and welcome to CombatACE, raffer.
