Hi Stephen! I am in the process of exporting them to Il2 - but if you want to export them to FE, you are wellcome - just send em a PM here or on the SAS1946 forum to tell me which models you are interested to export to First Eagles and I'll send them to you by email - so long they are used for making fully freeware, unrestricted, mods, like your own planes, and credits are given, it's fine with me. They are mostly between 3000 to 12000 polys 3ds models, fully mapped.

Stephen Hi! A lot of confusing info runs through the web and the specialized press about the various Voisin planes. It took me quite a time to find the original French sources that allowed me to put some order in all this mess. The main source of confusion is in the denomination III, V etc.. which was totally unknown during ww1. The french sources speak of: 1) "Voisin 13,50m" (13.50m wingspan) with Gnôme 80ch rotatif renamed "Voisin L" after when engine with a Salmson 130Hp. 2) "Voisin LA" (14.74m wingspan)with a Salmson 140Hp 3) "Voisin LAS" (S for "sureleve" as the engine whas "pushed upwards" by comparision with the Voisin L and LA) (14.64m wingspan her too) witha Salmson 140 or 150 Hp 4) Voisin LBP/LBS (different cabin enabling to mount a forwards firing cannon, same wingspan) Salmson 150Hp Beyond the differences in engines and wingspan, the wing profile was diffrent: a) for Voisin "13,50m 1913" and Voisin L both wing are of same width, the lower ailerons are attached to the wing edge and therefore protruding behind this wing edge ____-----------------------____ b) for voisin LA, the upper wing is now larger (14.74m) than the lower wing but (13.50m) but the wing profile remains similar to the Voisin L c) voisin LAS wing dimensions imilar to the Voisin LA but the ailerons are now integrated in a widenned wing chord, with a "gap" at the position of the propeller ______________---------______________ d) Voisin LB/LBS/LBP the upper wing is displaced slightly forward to ensure stability of aircraft when firing teh gun. get a look to the 3dmodels I have created for exporting to Il2 to get a visual impression of all this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/voisinl.gif/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/voisinla.gif/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13/voisinlas.gif/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/638/voisinlb.gif/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/824/voisinlbp.gif/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/anatravoisinivanov.gif/ PS if someone has a plans/clear line drawings of the Isotta Fraschini Voisin - I'd be delighted!
