  1. PKZ 2 Austro-hungarian helicopter Prototype was built in March 1918. Weighs 1600kg. Since April, 2 made 30 test ascents to the height of up to 50m. Could hover for half an hour on a good day. Had no controls and was balanced by three ropes from the ground. On June, 10 1918 the tension of ropes was not properly maintained and the chopper flipped over. Any modders willing to make new balloon type? Windsock has a mini-datafile on it. There were a number of other choppers made event prior to WW1 but none survived that long or flew that high. PKZ 2 height record wasn't beaten for 10 years after the crash.
  2. Is chopper possible?

    They were intended to serve tethered as balloons. The idea was that the helo is smaller, doesn't need expensive hydrogen, can be easily transported and quckly deployed and supposedly is less affected by wind. It also was designed to have a parachute capable of carrying the whole airframe should the engines fail. The grey balls at the bottom are actually airbags with some complicated valve system that turns them into decent shock absorbers. Didn't save the prototype which was severely damaged after falling from 2 meter height
  3. Its Only the Beginning......

    50 chicks running loose in high school... What's so special about it?
  4. Some WiP's

    Clickie It's on SVA 5 with some pics of early prototypes... BTW, the bird flies quite well in FSWW1.
  5. Some WiP's

    Will Windsock DF do?
  6. Some WiP's

    Good luck with all your WIPs, including the one to be released in July. Those Fokkers look damn pretty...
  7. Multiple RB3D setups

    Try running setup twice I've read that RB3D can handle dual installs Aren't WFP and HA using models and terrains by the Promised Land? And FCJ control panel works perfectly with WFP too.
  8. Neat and Entertaining Little Game

    Got about 30,000 points and bored But if you're into this angle/power sort of thing... It gets better. It gets Scorched 3D. http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/ Now that's neat :yes:
  9. SuperEF2000

    Unzip, unrar, run Setup, after installation run via shortcut in start menu You'll probably need to run both setup.exe and the game in compartibility mode with Win95.
  10. Finnaly i got my 1st thousand !

    7017 on my "home" forum, ~500 here, mere 225 at SimHQ and probably a total of 100 on all other places I happened to register at... I'm a nolifer or what?
  11. I don't think altering 3D meshes in thirdwire format would be easier than modeling the Alb in 3dmax from scratch.
  12. SuperEF2000

    Maybe something Here? Like HIIND with manual Language switch in top-right, sorting options in bottom left. Non-Russian users have limited download speed. Server is dead slow in daytime but kicks in at higher speed in small hours and till noon. For quick reference - it's 16:51 now down here, look at posting time and fugure out the difference.
  13. Did you say mattress?

    Yes, it's a man's life in England's mountain green...
  14. 37mm AAA

    I think TS means that tracer burn time is too short, not that one can't see them...
  15. SuperEF2000

    Learn the power of Underdogs Scroll down to "Where to get it" there chose between BitTorrent download and a simple one (one that says "click here to download [66MB]"). It'll take you to a page with bot protection. Type in the code and off you go. If you use a download manager forbid it to open multiple connection as it will give you an immediate ban for quite some time. And be ready for a reaally slow downlaod - the website is barely alive, not updated for two years. We're lucky it's still around.
  16. Modern Marvel

    I think this is way funnier http://www.coldsteel.com/88scm.html Got a shop in Moscow that sells one with stiletto... The also got a foldable 180lb croosbow. Funny, but according to Russian law neither are considered weapons. The crossbow lacks 2kg of power to be one, and our law for melee weapons is quite strict on knives but larger stuff including axes is free to go provided you have the papers for it. Spring or rubber band sea hunting guns aren't weapons too Update: browsed through our shop's catalogue once more. Found a small foldable crossbow capable of shooting bolts, darts, steel balls and harpoons. Weight 0.5kg, 30cm long and no, not a weapon as its composite block arms are 1kg short of 20kg required. Steel lock and string, handle of light alloy, made in Russia. Beauty Laser and all other kind of sights installable.
  17. Помогите.

    WoV и WoE можно ставить вместе, но судя по отзывам на родном форуме Thirdwire, где эту тему недавно подняли, такая помесь ведет к куче багов. Глюк с подвесами - посмотри внимательно - может не от той версии самолета прописал ini. В том списке модификации для родных самолетов от TW помечены "(stock)" SFP достать... Не скажу, где пиратить (сам должен знать) Если хочется именно купить, у ThirdWire есть рабочий онлайновый магазин, где при оплате кредиткой дается ссылка на дистрибутив игрушки - потом можно его куда угодно переписать: активаций, серийников, защиты и прочей гадости там нет. Цены, конечно, нерусские... то бишь 20$. https://store.thirdwire.com/store.htm Второй редактор хочет какой-нибудь bmp, чтобы было что на экране показывать... Распаковать бмп-шки из cat и найти тот, что с общей картой пробовал? Или вот, из этого раздела выкачай http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...amp;showcat=165
  18. 37mm AAA

    I did SPAD XII Ca. with 37mm already *from many links I posted and pinned at WWI section... but apparently no one cares* 6-ponder (57 mm) Davis gun with Lewis sighting machine gun Supermarine PB 31E 'Nighthawk' 1388, with 2 pounder Davis Gun - a 2 cylinder ABC auxiliary power unit is installed aft of the main engine Royal Aircraft Factory FE 6 with 37mm COW gun FE 2b fitted with 1 pounder pom-pom gun, Lewis gun and French CFS landing searchlight. 51 Sqdn March 1917 Description Here at the bottom in armament section.
  19. 37mm AAA

    People actually managed to fit this gun on a plane.
  20. Updated FMs

    Straight into Objects folder
  21. Updated FMs

    My flight of D.VIIf got wiped out by Hanriots. And we barely scratched them... Had a long forgotten feeling of being shot from all directions at once.
  22. Помогите.

    Французский, судя по отзыву автора туториала, работает и с остальной серией. И кораблики с танками должны без проблем вылезать. Может из-за патчей что-то изменилось. В опциях редактора на апдейт проверять пробовал? Мне самому сложно проверить, так как я в это дело через First Eagles, а не реактивные самолеты втянулся. А второй редактор работает? Найти карты можно, поюзав поиск по разделу Maps/Terrain Mods. Хотя похоже, что пустыня - это родная из SFP. Может эта на замену встанет? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=4087
  23. After Expansion

    And a new weapon editor...
  24. Помогите.

    Так.. судя по всему проблема с не тем оружием на подвесах решается через редактирование ini с данными самолетов. Вот список самолетов и ниже изменений в них, которые нужно проделать для успешной работы с паком оружия http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=18346 С вертушками проблема - это все же сим самолетов, поэтому взлетать приходится как на самолете. То есть нужно в настройках управления назначить кнопки для изменения вектора тяги, чтобы хоть как-то подвисать. weapondata.ini должна быть извлечена в папку objects, а далее - мануал по weapon editor в картинках http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...ost&p=44420 Изменения и добавления в данные можно делать и в редакторе и через блокнот, но в итоге сейвить надо через едитор т.к. он вроде бы данные еще и в weapondata.dat пробивает. Кстати, тут грядет очередное обновление движка, выход нового сима и пр. так что должна появиться новая версия редактора - старый с экспаншеном First Eagles уже не работает.
  25. First Bridges

    I hope everyone noticed that EP1 bridges are real, i.e. you can fly under them and they have good collision boxes. So that's after my first run on a prefectly good D.VIIF... Kinda lame, but actually I expected either to fly through, like you do with buildings, or to crash completely. P.S. And after losing a wing I tried another run. Crashed into support.
