+Geezer 3,569 Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks for catching that. I've been experimenting with shadow distances and didn't notice the shadows went away! Edited May 29, 2015 by Geezer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+VonS 1,424 Posted May 29, 2015 Superb modelling and great work here - look forward to trying it out. Gave the old Halbs. (2 and 3) from 2007 a test in FE2 a few days ago but the textures look strange and the FM is a bit odd. This one is obviously superior. Well done. Happy flying!, Von S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted May 30, 2015 Oh, yes. If you're talking about models from Bwf, they are really made of very rough, as if the axe heved, skins of very low quality, while the FM is such that it is simply impossible to fly! However, Halb. D.III, made by A-Team, looks pretty good and flies not bad. But before this model it too far, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawford 570 Posted May 30, 2015 <FEISTY SMILE> F...ing phone, f...ing connect, f...ing separatists!!! I type one thing and they sent another, and then, when they want!!! I meant that the models from Bwf look lile they hewed with the axe. It really is a clumsy work - is something a very remoted resembling their prototypes. Relative to HalbD3 by A-Team... Previously, there was comrad Capun. Once upon a time he quarreled with the admins and took away all their models. Thay can be freely downloaded from this site http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/ but there is a very complicated registration - as the KGB and the CIA combined! )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Geezer 3,569 Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Nearly ready for release. Ojcar has tweaked the FM and, as usual, Stephen1918 has been an immense help in answering my questions. Shots below show a dogfight between eight D5s and ten Martinsydes, with good framerates. Edited June 7, 2015 by Geezer 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Stephen1918 1,473 Posted June 8, 2015 Beautiful plane, Geezer! For anyone using FE1 - you'll need to convert the ini file to ANSI encoding for the plane to show up in your game. It's an extremely easy thing to fix: Open the file named "HalberstadtD5.ini" (I use Notepad for this.) Do a "Save As..." At the bottom of the Save As window change the Encoding setting from Unicode to ANSI. Then click "Save" and you'll be all set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

extremeone 13 Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks so much Geezer. Just superb, amazing modelling. And the look of the cockpit whilst flying the plane is sublime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted June 17, 2015 For FE/FEG: I don't have them so I don't know how to install these files. If you run FE/FEG and have trouble loading these files... At last I was able to download this fine model (in view of my slow internet). As you foresaw, there is a problem at installation of the HalbD.V into FE. Alas! The game does not see the new plane... So the flight did not take place.( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crawford 570 Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Allow me to criticize. Yes, the plane is very good and to fly on it simply pleasantly. However, despite all the undoubted advantages, the model leaves the impression of slightly incompleteness. As if it was done in a hurry… For some reason on the plane are not displayed bullet holes (the aircraft always looks unharmed). Maybe it’s only I have such trouble? But that’s not all. When viewed from the cockpit, visible unfinished bracing wire (see added screenshot). In addition, the only available instrument is not working; a pointer will never budge. The controls are also motionless… Perhaps these shortcomings will be corrected in future versions of the model? Edited July 20, 2015 by Crowford Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Geezer 3,569 Posted July 20, 2015 Yes, I finished it in a hurry. I was tired of looking at it. I still am, so don't expect an update anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted May 18, 2016 Hi, guys. Somebody has tried to make the correct 'holes' for this plane? I tried, but to no avail. After any hits D.V looks safe and sound. Even after a good thrashing the plane looks as good as new. Apparently, here there is a problem not only in the alpha-channel... The same question also applies to the Falcon and the Gladiator.

Crawford 570 Posted May 23, 2016 What about it? Nobody knows anything? That's a pity. The situation is more serious than I thought.None of my attempts to make a visible 'holes' have not met with success. Even the substitution of the TGA files that are successfully working with other airplanes in the game, can't get it to work. I'm very grieved… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+quack74 329 Posted May 24, 2016 The name of the .tga used for the "holes" has to match the name of the corresponding .bmp image in the aircraft's texture folder. I noticed the names did not match up. The .tga that reads "fuse_HOLES" in the D.V's main folder should read "Halb D5 Fuselage_HOLES" (the name of the fuselage .bmp in the texture, "skin" folder). When I tried it out I did get some damage on the fuselage. But I didn't see any on the wings yet. I'll try again later. Didn't have much time to check it all out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
