sandbagger 1 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Here's the Nieuport N.24 (Lewis) and N.24 Bis (Lewis). Both were fitted with the Lewis wing mounted gun. The N.24 had the N.24 rounded tail unit whilst the N.24 Bis reverted to the N.17 tail unit. Edited October 30, 2009 by sandbagger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted October 30, 2009 Wonderful work, Sandbagger! I can hardly wait to shred... - ooops! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted October 30, 2009 Just fantastic Sandbagger! I for one am so excited about the work you and the rest of the team are doing for all of us. I look forward to all the enhancements, additions and whatnots that you guys have been working on so hard. We are just waiting for the happy day that we can support your work by sending some money OBD's way. You're the BEST! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasse Wind 46 Posted October 30, 2009 Wonderful work, Sandbagger! I can hardly wait to shred... - ooops! Olham, you really have to give up the Albatros for some time and give these beautiful Nupes a chance, especially when the N.24 is released. They are great little fighters. The French don't use the Aldis sight, if that's what's keeping you away from them, and the windshield can be lowered just like opening the canopy in CFS3.

Olham 164 Posted November 5, 2009 That awful windshield can be lowered? How's that to be done? That was my main reason not to fly them - that limited forward sight. Hasse Wind, you may have convinced a German pilot to try them now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullethead 12 Posted November 6, 2009 That awful windshield can be lowered? How's that to be done? That was my main reason not to fly them - that limited forward sight. Hasse Wind, you may have convinced a German pilot to try them now. You need to fly Nupes so you can learn where they break under human control, and thus know how fast you need to dive to escape them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SirMike1983 3 Posted November 6, 2009 The Nieuport vickers (French) is the better ticket. In real life the Aldis sight was an excellent addition the British made, but CFS3 is limited in not being able to really model it properly. The result is that it's more a hindrance than a help. The open ironsights on the Vickers are an advantage, even if the gun partly blocks the view. The N.17 vickers is the finest plane of its era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hasse Wind, you may have convinced a German pilot to try them now. The Nupe windshield can bet lowered using the cfs3 "Open Canopy" command IIRC, it's Shift + C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Polovski 460 Posted November 6, 2009 Looks nice and crisp Mike ! The windshield cannot be lowered on the N24 it's a fitted piece. It probably could be removed but I'd think huddling behind it at 100 mph at altitude would be very welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It probably could be removed but I'd think huddling behind it at 100 mph at altitude would be very welcome. The 17 had the "hinge window" between the cabane struts in the rear, and I guess you could drop those. The 24 was actually somewhat like the 11 in that it had a plain metal frame windscreen that was fixed in place. You're right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptSopwith 26 Posted November 7, 2009 The Nupe windshield can bet lowered using the cfs3 "Open Canopy" command IIRC, it's Shift + C I've been flying Nieups for a long time now, and I didn't know that! Thanks Deuce, I'm going to have to go try that out! I love this game, it just keeps surprising! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted November 7, 2009 . sandbagger, that is gorgeous work Sir! Can't wait to fly that bird around. Cheers! Lou . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duce Lewis 3 Posted November 8, 2009 I've been flying Nieups for a long time now, and I didn't know that! Thanks Deuce, I'm going to have to go try that out! I love this game, it just keeps surprising! Glad to help Cappy! Not sure on the exact command keys If Shift+C doesn't work just see what the cfs3 "Open Canaopy" command is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted November 8, 2009 BTW on the N17 Lewis version it lowers the Lewis instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted November 8, 2009 Billy Bishop often flew combat without Goggles or Flying Helmet...so he would have needed a windshield I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
