Heinkel He 51

Spanish Civil War era

A set of skins for Stephen 1918's HE 51. This is the same format , and arrangement, in my previous upload, except this is purely for FE 2 and specifically the Spanish Civil War map. All files except for the LOD files are included, you will need to download Stephens original Heinkel HE 51, then drop my files into the folder that has Stephens original aircraft in it, allow the overwrite, as the .INI files are slightly Different from Stephens. The Skins are 3 different ones from Condor Legion J 88, then 4 Luftwaffe examples in their colourful pre war plumage. 2 Bulgarian examples, one is pre Soviet , and the other post Soviet. Finally there is a Spanish 1939 version.

Any problems or errors, please do message me, and I will hopefully rectify the issue.

Enjoy 

Heinkel  He 51

Birth of the Luftwaffe

I present you with my latest collection of skins, this time for the Heinkel He 51, one of the first Luftwaffe aircraft to see active service, in a air war, the first time for Germany since the end of WWI. The He 51 was a biplane fighter, which was to see service in the Spanish Civil War. It however was found to be very un suited for use as a fighter, as , to be honest, there wasn't much really ground breaking, and there were certainly far better biplane types in service around the world, than the Heinkel turned out to be. Where it was found to shine however, was in the light ground attack role, in which it was quite successful. Several future Luftwaffe aces cut their teeth flying this aircraft, before transitioning across to the BF 109 , which swiftly replaced the biplane in the Jagd role.

It was however, an attractive aircraft, and was as I mentioned before, quite a successful recon and ground attack aircraft. I was used by the Luftwaffe, probably as a squadron hack, until the middle of the war. It was only exported to 2 countries, those being Bulgaria, and Spain, The Spanish had these old girls still in service until the mid 50's. It appears the Bulgarians used them until around 1942 -43.

So, on with the blurb. I have included 3 skins for aircraft of JG 88 Condor Legion, from different JagdGruppe ( 2, 3, 4 ) Also I have 4 colourful examples from around 1936 or so, in Luftwaffe colours of the time, with their colourful markings. next there are 2 variations on the Bulgarian machines, pre Communist, and post Communist, the final real skin is a Spanish post 1939 scheme. The last 2 I have thrown in for fun. The first is a Parani one because I KNOW some of you lot do play Paran Dhimar. and finally, An Imperial Elbonian Air Service skin, just because, SO THERE !! 

This aircraft is a model made by Stephen 1918. I have completely redone the skin , panels, rivets etc. etc. All the files you need are included in this upload EXCEPT for the LOD's. For those, please be kind enough to download Stephens original model FIRST Before attempting to fly the beastie !! I have however included all the .INI files, that are pertinent to these skins, so please, after you have downloaded the aircraft from the FE 2 Golden age download section, you ensure that the files I have included , replace the ones you will get with Stephens original aircraft. There are reasons for this, such as gunsights, sounds, weapons, pilots etc. etc. So please rename stephens .INI files just in case you want to use those instead of mine. I cannot see that you shall want or need to though. 

I have included everything else all in their respective folders, so you should be able to drop it into your save file, wherever that may be. So Sounds, guns, bombs and tank, sounds, and pilots, and of course Decals are all here for you. Just please follow the directions I have stated here. and you will be good to go. As a side note, I have found that a good terrain to utilise for this aircraft is the Finland one, seems to work well. However if you are wanting this aircraft to use in FE2 then wait as I shall be doing a separate upload for First Eagles Spanish Civil War, these skins in this format WILL NOT WORK IN FE !! 

Anyhow, that about wraps it up. Thanks to Stephen, who is very kind to me, and allows me to bugger up his lovely aeroplanes. So major kudos to him for making the model in the first place. Any glitches, problems, gripes, whinges, or moans, please contact my P.A. Mrs Ramsbottom. She will occupy you and deflect ALL your woes, with her rather nice Victoria sponge cake and a nice cup of Tea ........failing that, message me and I shall see about correcting any bugger ups 

Finally, as ever, ENJOY (I have enjoyed flying around in this rather attractive aircraft, I even got 2 kills in her )  

Anyone who runs is a VC. Anyone who stands still is a well-disciplined VC

UH-1H HUEY SLICKS ( VIETNAM WAR )

The final Huey pack ( for now ) in this series. 13 various slicks from the Vietnam war period. They include the following skins: Air America , 1/9 Cav, 82 Medical, 101 Airborne, 101 Aviation Company, 116 AHC 1 and 2 Platoon colours, 118 AHC 1 and 2 Platoon colours, 498 Medical, 9 Sqn RAAF, 213 Sqn VNAF, and finally 215 Sqn VNAF.

Same drill as the previous packs, all in one plug and play ( hopefully, my track record of mistakes are over ) I am working on a gunship version of the Huey, however i am struggling with getting a working cockpit for the H model Huey, so a little patience and hopefully I shall have some armed and dangerous hueys for your enjoyment !!

Thanks to Yakarov79 for the original model.

As ever ENJOY 

A MEZE OF HUEYS

EUROPEAN UH-1H HUEYS

The final large pack of hueys, all these are european birds, consisting of the following.  Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina ( slick and medevac ), Bosnian and Croatian Federation ( slick and medevac ), Germany Heer and Bundesgrenschutze, Greece, Italy, Macedonia ( slick and medevac ) Spain Army and Air Force, and finally a Turkish example.

Unfortunately , except for a few noteworthy exceptions, most European Hueys seem to be good old green, so there are not a huge amount of variety in this selection pop pickers !! However even the mundane is still useful ! I have dispensed with the 2 separate DATA.INI files in this pack, as it was a bit pointless, so the cargo nets ARE already available on these birds. everything else is there as per my previous uploads. So as before, if anything is missing, broken, or anything, please feel free to message me as ever.

I shall be doing probably one more pack, which will be Vietnam slanted, so if you like your dose of Fortunate Son, watch this space.

Again a big shout to Yakarov79 for the original Huey model

Finally, as always ENJOY 

A FAIR DINKUM CROWD OF HUEYS

ASIAN AND AUSTRALASIAN HU-1H HUEYS

The third pack of hueys for your delight and hopefully delectation !! The same drill as with my other  previous 2 packs, everything is included to allow you to depart into the wild ( or not so wild ) blue yonder , skins included are as follows. Royal Australian Airforce, Australian Army, Cambodia, Japan, Royal New Zealand Air Force, a revisitation of my Pakistani skins, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korean Army and Navy, Royal Thai Air Force, and Singapore.

I hope you enjoy these Hueys, even if some of the skins may seem a little obscure. Also as with the other packs, there is an alternative DATA.INI for the cargo net should you wish to have it available.

Please feel free to comment, berate, point fingers, or donate to my retirement fund ( just kidding, for any wallies who think that was a serious comment....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE !!! ) 

Thanks to Yakarov79 for the original model

As always ENJOY 

A TRIBAL GATHERING OF HUEYS

AFRICAN AND MIDDLE EASTERN SKINS

The second set in my collection of UH-1H Hueys, this pack consists of the following nations. Burkina Faso, Imperial Iran both Army and Airforce, Islamic Republic of Iran Army, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Rhodesia, Uganda, Yemen, and finally Zambia. As with my previous upload, of Latin Hueys, everything is contained in this pack to enable you to plug and play , I must also add, as I failed to do so in my last upload, that enclosed are 2 DATA.INI files, one is the vanilla one, the other has the settings to allow the cargo net to be underslung, use one or the other, which ever flavour you prefer 

Hopefully this upload is error free, however should you discover anything that my proof reader has missed please contact me and I will sack the bugger, and repair the damage !! 

Thanks again to Yakarov79 for the original model of the UH-1H 

As always, ENJOY 

A FIESTA OF LATIN UH-1H HUEYS

This will be the first in a series of uploads for the venerable and widely used UH-1H Huey. Included in this pack are examples from Latin America . They include Argentina , Bolivia, Brazil , Chile , Columbia, Domincan Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Uraguay, and finally Venezuela.

I have tried to be as accurate as possible in my representations here, however, serial numbers etc in some cases WILL be speculative , I was going to include more civilian police versions, however most of them are all in pretty much the same colour schemes of the couple I have included, so I didn't bother, and I expect that most people dont actually fly civilian marked aircraft in SF 2 , of course in the Latin countries the Police and the military do, in a lot of cases fly joint missions. But anyway, I hope you enjoy the offerings I have brought to your respective tables !!!

Included in the file are all the bits and bobs you need to make this bird fly, sound, weapons, crew decals etc. So there should be no difficiulties involved installing and flying

Credit to Yakolev79 for his original model !!

As always ENJOY !!!
