Don't judge...

Another download is available. This is an M4A3E8 Sherman obviously. It was made from a Payware Royalty Free 3D model. It was a nice model with a polycount suitable for this game, but there were lots of things that could use some adjustment. Capun''s site has some other conversions from the same source, which is probably what triggered my project here. The stock Israel game has the M-50 and M-51 upgunned sherman variants, but the game was still lacking an unmodified 76mm sherman of similar quality. This should be it. Earlier I was thinking of adding one or two 75mm shermans as well, but in a post WW2 scenario these may not fit in. The weakest Red tank being the T-34-85 with a much better gun...

The Armstrong-Whitworth FK8 would be a great addition to First Eagles, both on the Western Front and on Palestine Front. I have looked into it and started collecting data for it some time ago. My immediate goal, however, is to finish a revision of the Galicia terrain, which I've been working on for a couple of years. If I can get enough time away from the real world, I'll have the terrain finished later this summer.

After some time with my computer down... Mirage 4000 Demonstrator prototype

I'm afraid not. The props and spinners are part of the model built by the modder. In fairness, my props and spinners use about twice as many polygons than the flat ones do and probably slow the game down a tiny bit.

The Caudron R11 is nearing completion. Shots below of test session. The guys have tweaked the R11 gunner skills as our references say the best graduates of the Cazaux gunnery school were assigned to R11 units.

Thanks Mike. There were a lot of variations of the S.16 and it stayed in service from early 1915 right through to the end of the Russian Civil Wars. Based on what I've seen in photographs, the flatdeck version seems to have been more common, but I don't know for sure. There were also two-seat versions, and there may have been a seaplane version. Last week, I started revisions on the flatdeck version (with ailerons on both wings) and it will be finished soon.

Aaaaand after getting my PC back here some screenies of the resumed work, later, in game pics ,)

Training flight in the Super Skyhawk:

The Flying Fortress

This morning, checked out the FM adjustments to the Nieuport range of aircraft WIPs. VonS, and especially Crawford, have slowly ground their way through the hodge-podge of old files to develop new ones to match the new 3D models. The aircraft now destruct fairly realistically, given the limited effort I make when developing new 3D models. They do outstanding work. Also tweaked the artwork for the Vickers guns - they were a bit too darkish. As shown in the Sopwith Triplane shot, most machine guns are various shades of dark gray, not black. Shots of Br14 show the revisions to the Vickers artwork. For you camo buffs, the Br14 is finished in the Michelin factory pattern - there were several others as each contractor had their own interpretation of French government guidelines.
