+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted September 9, 2019 Today, thanks to a lot of help from Ojcar, I uploaded the Heinkel He.51 for the Spanish Civil War. The Heinkel was a one man, biplane fighter introduced in 1935 and used by the Nationalists throughout the war. There are a lot of pieces to install, but in the end you'll have a new 7.9 mm machine gun, a new German 10 lb bomb and a drop tank. The download includes a camo skin, decals, a fully functional cockpit, and my skinning templates. Ojcar found the 7.9mm machine gun in his SF install, but doesn't know who made it. I decided to use it anyway. If anyone knows who made the machine gun for SF, please let me know and I will give credit. Ojcar also taught me how to add controls to First Eagles so you can make the drop tank drop with a keystroke. He also included other features, like flaps, landing gear, wheel brakes, etc. so we can use some of the Strike Fighter planes in FE. I have included instructions in the download. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Trotski 936 Posted September 9, 2019 opens up some possibilities, getting an early B 109 in would be nice along with the Chaika and Ratas as well of course.....and maybe even a Ju87A.........so many possibilities !! now if only we could use JPG's instead of BMP's !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure montyCZ released early 109s and a Ju-87A a long time ago. great quality mods too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coupi posted screenshots of the Bf 109 flying in FE2 in another thread. And I have pointed out that in the SF1 downloads area - Russouk2004 has a Messerschmitt Bf.109 Pasko has a Junkers Ju87 Stuka Russouk2004 has a DH82 Tigermoth Raven has a Fiesler Fi156 Storch With the new controls that Ojcar told us about, all those planes should work well in the FE Spanish Civil War.

Yessir, its just a matter of converting the fm's etc to make sure they work ok in FE .........and that is beyond my ability, its black majiks an voodoo stuff is that, I believe there is an HS-123 floating around out there too. plus some Breugets and a few others . There is also an early HE111 and DO-17 as well, not sure if those are of Craparses site though. Edited September 10, 2019 by trotski00 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Trotski 936 Posted September 10, 2019 Oh yeah and Geezers Gladiator and CR-42 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilches 1,172 Posted September 10, 2019 Both Gladiator and Cr.42 were never used on SCW. Sad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Trotski 936 Posted September 10, 2019 I only mentioned them because Geezers original models were designed for FE rather than SF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilches 1,172 Posted September 11, 2019 Geezer's Cr.32 Chirri is exceptional but WIP with some small detail and cockpit to be done. Very promissing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Trotski 936 Posted September 11, 2019 Indeed, the Chirri is a much needed model, and I'm not sure if Geezer is still working on it, he's been AWOL for a while now, hope he's ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he's ok too but I think he's pulled another of his disappearing acts. he seems to do it after he has an argument with someone in the community. last time it was over a year before he came back.

+Trotski 936 Posted September 11, 2019 Thats a real shame because he does some outstanding work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilches 1,172 Posted September 11, 2019 The Chirri only needs a telescopic sight and FM. Stephen1918 could make a cockpit, I hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted September 11, 2019 Thank you Steve, this is a very cool mod. Interestingly, version 1.0.0 is indicated. This allows us to hope that after a while a new version will appear with a large number of simple but attractive details (air flow divider in front of the radiator, step on board near the cockpit and steps on the landing gear struts)? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilches 1,172 Posted September 11, 2019 By the way, the He 51 had a reflector gunsight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
