@ Stephan1918 "off topic question" about DBW1916

[gambit168 27]

Hi Stephan 
have  you heard of or tried dark blue world1916 mod for IL2 yet?
I Dl'd it the other day & , its got a lot going for it , but  it only has a few proper  ww1  aircraft  models so far, most of the modders are working on ww2 & later planes 
   I thought as i was skinning the se5a  for it ,how  amazing it  would be to fly your models in the IL2 world.
is there any chance you might  think about porting your models into il2  so we have them in both ?
if indeed they could be ported

thx for reply in advance

Gambit168,

I've never tried IL2. Who makes it, and where can I get the modding tools? I don't know if I want to add any more projects at the moment, but if the conversion is easy to do, I may try. Thanks for the info!

hi Stephan , IL2 is the best ww2 flight sim ever , it IL2 1946 was released  in jan 2007

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IL-2_Sturmovik_(video_game)

 

the modding comunity has been working to inprove on the platform for years now, the last time i heard about ww1 planes for IL2 , they were ww2 biplanes with ww1 skins, & just for online fun really, got it has taken off since then, & my IL2 install was buggered up by a mod i added , so i deleted the game & that was that, but there was 33LIMA's post about the ww1 mod DBW1916 the other day here on CA that caught my eye so i went over to the SAS mods for IL2 website to check the progress out for myself.

 

all the info on 3d mods & how to port them is on there forums.

101fts  ported his either  over to IL2 , or from IL2 over to FE2   so it is possible

he also put the N28  & the  D8  in IL2,

he made a couple of other for FE2 that are at the A-Team site , not sure why he didn't add them to

the IL2 stable yet

I took a look, rigging the model for the game engine looks much more complicated than for FE. I won't do anything for IL2 in the near future, but it might be something I'll want to take on when I have more time.

 

Thanks for the info, it does look like a good game.
