OEFFAG Ba 53 & Ba 53 (feld Änderung) REDUX A rework of Jan Tumas excellent Oeffag Ba 53, I have kept this one simple as there were only about 50 or so Ba 53's built, a few of the early ones, about 10 or so were built using the Albatros D II planform, but this was swiftly changed to the D III instead. The Aircraft was actually better than the Albatros DIII, having a more powerful Austro Daimler power plant, also the Oeffag techies, figured out that the D III wing was a bit of a nightmare, and tended to drop off if you did any of that " Fighter Pilot Shit" So they strengthened the lower win by adding in another spar. Of course there is always a downside, although in this case a minor one, which was the armament, first off, it was a Swartzlose M7, the standard Infantry MG of the Autro Hungarian Army, it was orerated by a blowback system, which in itself was not the problem, the problem lay with the oiler, which had to oil each round as it was chambered, not an ideal set up, especially as the oil used to blow back into the pilots face, and bugger up his aiming somewhat. As well as this, the guns were buried deep in the cowling, so stoppages were virtually impossible to clear, Which I assume could spoil a pilots whole day at times There were also issues with the interrupter system, which was not very good in conjunction with the Swartzlose, so a special Tacho had to be fitted to Oeffags, to warn the pilot when the interrupter was not going to play nice, and let the gun shoot nice holes in the Airscrew.........Yes.....Well !! There are 2 files in this upload, the main Ba 53 file, with all the gubbins, decals and all that good stuff, the second file is for the (feld Änderung) aircraft, basically the same plane but they took the cowl off !! Atogether there are 8 skins, 3 which are my usual Factory Finish ones, so very generic, the other 4 are of named pilots, see the thumbnails for an ideaof what is in there for you. Everything is in a ready to go state as usual, the second file is just the Field modded Ba 53, on its own, so that will need to be dropped into you Save game file under "Objects - Aircraft" and you should be good to go. I have used my own decals and skins to rework these Oeffags, the 153 series will follow shortly !! A shout out to Jan Tuma for his original work, on this rather nice Albatros version, also to Von S for the updated FM's ( also an apology to the redoubtable Von S for not crediting him in my other Albatri uploads, my most profound apologies !!! ) and Geezer for the Pilot models. As always............................ENJOY

ALBATROS D III (OAW) WITH JASTA 39 REDUX This upload comprises of 3 Rar files, the first is the standard D III OAW, 2 of which are in generic markings, and 2 which are Ottoman machines, one in earlier markings of the black square, the second with the late war red squares. The other 2 Rar files are all for Jasta 39 Albatri, 2 generic, and the rest in the markings shown in the thumbnail pictures heading this download. Again as with the previous D III's I uploaded previously, the Jasta 39 aircraft are in their own complete fils, so you can use them as a seperate Jasta so it is named Albatros DIII (OAW) (JASTA 39)......you know the drill by now I am sure !!! The red and white candy stripe one, was a real pain in the bum to do, mainly because of the bloody awful way the models were made, so getting the stripes to marry up correctly had me cursing and swearing quite considerably. So it is not 100% perfect, but it is as good as can be expected, and certainly better than the original skin that was done in this scheme, I forget who originally uploaded it, but for sure it is a vast improvement. As ever, everything is included in the package, Decals, Guns........blah blah blah..........You will need to download all the files as the decals etc for the Jasta 39 Albatri are in the first RAR file.............As for the rest, I am not going to repeat myself, as I am sure most of the folks downloading this, are used to my stuff, so I wont bore you with the blurb !!! As always...................ENJOY

ALBATROS D III REDUX PART 4 The fourth and final part of the D III series, aircraft are all from Jasta 12. Again you will need the PART 1 download of the D III for all the decals etc.

ALBATROS D III REDUX PART 3 The third part of the DIII collection, this time for the Jasta 11 machines. again you will need PART 1 for all the decals and other bits.

YOU MUST HAVE THE F-51D/K from FastCargo ! -Textures in 4K with Normal map and specular map - 3 Fighters Squadron WW2 ETO with invasion strips : 487thFS (x11 nose arts), 343rdFS (x5 nose arts), 375thFS (one nose art! if you know of any websites where I could find nose art for the 375thFS, I'd be interested! ;) ) - Simply extract the contents of the file into the mod folder

This is an updated data file for the Stock Third Wire SBC-125. Adjustments have been made to bring the [DetectSystem] entry in line with SF2:NA. It has been based upon the data used by the TW CVA-63. Also the four Mark 24 Mod 11 5 inch mounts for the 5"/38 Mark 12 guns are now operational. As default they are set to use the stock TW "5IN_MK12" An alternate optional 5 inch gun "5IN_38_MK12_AA" has been included. This gun has been adjusted to be more effective against aircraft. This file has been tested in SF2:NA.
