stephen honey 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Following some requests, I have begun working on a few new skins for the excellent N11 modelled by MontyCZ. The N11 RNAS 3891 flown by Dallas is depicted as having a twin Lewis gun mount on the wing. Can the existing single mount model be changed to incoporate this modification? Can anyone help please.... I'm O.K. with the skinning, hopeless with the tech stuff. I know I've asked for a similar thing before relating to the moving of the single Lewis to the fuselage for Navarre's red Nieuport. (I almost completed that one but found speculations as to the correct version so am doing a bit more research). Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nixou 25 Posted September 24, 2009 ouch.. every time i go in weapons modding i have hard time and bugs. From what i know you can use two methods to add guns to your plane: First is the "pilot method". You create a new "pilot" in the ini which infact is your weapon model and you localize it to be on the good part of the plane. It's the simplest method but the bad side is that you won't see the gun in cockpit view. The second method is to add your gun as a gunpod station and this is the hardest method, but at least you see the gun from everywhere. I dn't know to do it. You should talk to Whiteknight he is familiarized to this, he added lewis guns to a spad7, nieuport21 and things, i think he knows his stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the quick response Nixarass, As the guns were on the top wing I wouldn't be too worried if they weren't visible from the cockpit view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southside Bucky 1 Posted September 24, 2009 Hi Stephen. Thanks for the email, and really pleased to hear you got the British Nieuport book (And so quick too!). The subject of Nieuport (17) upper wing guns has been driving me mad lately too...Mine disappeared 'bout a week ago for some inexplicable reason, even after downloading and installing all the required files as posted by Christian59 in post No.26 of this thread: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=31995&pid=303631&st=20entry303631 ...Wish I knew how to fix it... Gun problems notwithstanding, I'm really looking forward to seeing your British Nieuports, which I know will be most excellent...Especially Albert Ball's 16! All the best.
