Lewis Gun

[Czech6 15]

I downloaded this lewis gun model before FE came out and now I can't remember the web page and it doesn't have a Readme file. The download came with both a single and double lewis gun arrangement. Does anyone recognize this model so the author can be given credit?

Christian,

 

No, the machine gun model in the Nieuport 17 wing-gun download from CombatACE is an M-60. Here's another screenshot showng the detail of the Lewis gun including the fluted drum-magazine, Foster-mount, and the wood textured handles. I would like to put it up here for download but I can't remember where I got it so that I can get permission from the author to use it.

Christian,

 

Figured it out. Monty CZ posted the lewis.rar file on his March 4, 2007 response to the N24 discussion. I used Whiteknight and your 17a and 17b fixes on the download page and swapped out the model name from M-60 to lewis1. Monty said he got it to fire but not reload, but with these fixes it does both. Here's a picture of your two gun fix with the Monty lewis model.

Thanks Everyone!

[gambit168 27]

great udates for 17 guys cheers

[+whiteknight06604 934]

I wonder if some kind soul could make a Generic rife or carbine model that could be mounted on the side of a plane.some early planes had guns mounted at angles to miss the propeller arc.It would not be great to fight with but would look good strapped to the side of some of the older Moranes.

[+p10ppy 2]

if you can point me at a pic showing the mount i can probably wip one up (shouldnt take long)

i've only ever seen mg's mounted that way at assumed the carbines were shoulder fired?

[+christian59 8]

 

a new cockpit ,a new weapon , new 2 guns model

 

i thing it will be a good idea to make a upgraded addon the four model of N17

 

NO ?

[+christian59 8]

oups

 

thank for the cockpit without gun

 

excellent

[Bandy 3]

Any chance that this could be packaged for the downloads section with a good readme?

Some other people may miss this thread...

 

...besides, I've tried to follow the thread and do the twin-wing gun Lewis mod (in conjunction with the new cockpit skin), but have not gotten it to work for me for whatever reason :blush2:

[+peter01 2]

Good work guys. Thanks

[+christian59 8]

i can make the mega pack without any problem if all author are ok

[+peter01 2]

Christian59, I hope you do this, otherwise there are only a few of us more experienced modders that will enjoy the great ideas and work involved in improving the N17 and doing variations (maybe N11 too?).

 

You may just need to PM a couple of people.

[+christian59 8]

hello

mod a plane is to difficult for me

 

i can some time made some little works on a plane :yes:

the megapack of N17 is upload actualy and is just a (i hope) complet update of all the work that was made on the N17
