+peter01 2 Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Ok, an update to the previous Lewis Loadout pack I provided. You will definitely like this lot! There is a quite a bit different to the previous one I uploaded. It replaces it in effect. And some extra stuff. Different: Using a different way of doing loadouts. It is easier (muzzle flashes, catridges, less work) and placement of guns has been redone and is far better too, but the Camels are the same - can't do too much about them. And just superior for two reasons. Firstly the FMs feel far better, very significantly if you have a FFB stick. This is the major advantage. Secondly it allows you do a number of loadout combinations without problems - see N11 and N16s. A lot more could be done too. Extras: N11(Late) and N16(Late)s FMs. Loadout Combinations: The N11 and N16 have different loadout combinations. Example - the Nieuport16LateL defaults to a Lewis wing gun (as per stock), but you can add a Vickers, or a Vickers with Balloon busting ammo (and plane busting too!). All works well. The Nieuport11Late is the same. The Nieuport16LateV has a Vickers as default, and you can add a Lewis Balloon Gun or fly just with the Balloon Gun. All have LePrieurs as an option if you are not using the balloon busting ammo option too. *********************************************************************************************************************** New FMs and game files for FE1. The FMs are for the Hard Flight Model. **** This will not work for FE2. **** **** YOU MUST INSTALL THE WEAPONS FOLDER and GUNDATA FILES - these are new files. **** FMs === A total of 11 FMs. For the Nieuport 11 (one, extra Late version), Nieuport 16 (two, extra different Late versions), Nieuport 17s (two, Lewis and Bis versions), Nieuport 23s (two, Lewis and Bis versions), Camels (three, Lewis, Dual Lewis, F2 versions), Spad 7 with Lewis. No 10b 9 March FE1 GUNPODS Game Files and FMs.zip Changes/Additions: ================= - Had to rename the Camels, as the text was too long to tell which Camel you were selecting (BTW, TK has extended the string in FE2). So originally the Camels were "Sopwith F.1 Camel (130)" etc and are now "Camel 130Hp" etc. - Updated Gundata files, and in the Weapons folder various Weaponsdata files and things. The Gundata, Weaponsdata files are pretty much the same as the "FE Nov 2008 Game Files" component within the "UPDATED FE Plane FMs for Nov 2008 Patch" I provided many months ago and makes changes to the specifications of the extra Lewis mounts so they work properly. - A little bit of headshake added via the AIRCRAFTOBJECT.ini. The FMs (TKs or mine) are much better with this. Used values that TK uses in his other games but not in FE, an oversight IMO. INSTALLATION ============ 1) I recommend you backup your folder before installing. 2) If you have done this installing one of my downloads previously, you only need to create the Nieuport 11 and 16s Folders. Go to your "Aircraft" folder in your installation and copy plane folders as follows EXACTLY: Make a FOUR copies of your Nieuport17 folder & rename to ----> Nieuport17B, Nieuport17L, Nieuport23B, Nieuport23L. (L for one Lewis instead of a Vickers, B for Bis with a Vickers and a Lewis. Naturally if you don't want all just create the ones you do want). Make a copy of your SPAD7_180 folder & rename ----> SPAD7_180_Lewis Make a THREE copies of your CamelF1_110 folder & rename ---> CamelF1_110L, CamelF1_110D, CamelF2_150 (Notice "F2" here, and doesn't matter that you copy the 110hp folder over, and L for one Lewis instead of a Vickers,D for Dual Lewis instead of Vickers, and F2 has one Lewis and one Vickers). Make a copy of your Nieuport11 folder & rename ----> Nieuport11Late. Make TWO copies of your Nieuport16 Folder & rename ----> Nieuport16LateL and Nieuport16LateV. 3) Place all the files from this download into the corresponding folders of your First Eagles directory installation. You can just drop them all into the main directory of your FE install, and click OKAY top overwrite. Acknowledgements ================ Tailspin and Christian for much of the Nieuport/Camel Le Prieurs placements, Christian for the extra guns on the Nieuport 17s and 23s. Whiteknight for the Spad 13 extra Lewis. P10ppy for the original modelling and configuration for the Le Prieurs and the 37 mm Gun, and much else. Most importantly to the A-team for their work on loadouts, which makes all this possible. *********************************************************************************************************************** Edited March 9, 2010 by peter01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+peter01 2 Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Tried a few of the cockpit alternatives floating around for the Nieuport 17 and 23 Lewis (without Vickers), but .... So I use the N11 cockpit with this change: //Position=0.0,-0.893,0.395 Position=0.0,-0.843,0.305 If anyone has a better one let me know, but I quite like this ....
