Trotski

Amen to that Spiny !!......the only other sim I came across with this level of modding interest and totally billiant campaigns etc was good old EAW.....I loved that Sim

I have just uploaded the rest of the Morane H set, for France, Belgium, and RFC versions, I have removed the gun, as it shouldnt be there, except on the Russian Moranes, also I have swapped the LOD's for the Pfalz ones, to enable the windscreen.....there is probably another way of doing it, but I dont got the knowledge to fiddle about in the guts of the beast, thats for you experts out there !!! I have done the same with these as I did with the Russian Moranes that I uploaded yesterday, so these aircraft have decals, ( the originals skins are in there too ) unfortunately I cant figure out how to do the Pfalz swap trik on the Russian Moranes, so as to enable the windshield, there must be a work around for it somewhere, the problem lies with the gun on the morane, and the gun on the Pfalz being different.......if anyone has any idea on that please let me know, as I will be doing the Parasols next !!!

View File Morane H Morane H, in French, Belgian, and RFC colours and markings, as with my upload of the Morane H Russia, these are just a rework of the originals, I have redont the skins to accept decals, instead of the pre fixed ones, however I have included them in the upload too. I have also removed the gun, as this aircraft was unarmed ( except for one prototype ) and changed the data files to reflect this, so it is only any good for recon or cas missions, it is grenade armed as per Peters FM's Also I have cheated a bit, you will notice that all the lods are from the Pfalz EI, and therefore all the skins are named PfalzEI NOT MoraneH.......do not change these names otherwise you will get an albino aeroplane !!! I have done this to allow the windscreen to show ( a bit drastic I know but the screen SHOULD be there, and it isnt present in the original Morane model) using the Pfalz lods etc, makes no difference at all to the aircraft the only real problem I have encountered is the shadows dont work too well, if you switch them on, you get a horrible mess around the port wheel, and it is very noticeable too, so I have them set as FALSE, but that is your choice. as I have said before, I have included the original skin files, along with my reworks. all the hard work on the original models and skins was done by Mr Laton, Mr Hermann the hun, and Herr Von Deutschmark, FM's are of course by Peter, any other stuff has been done by yours truly, I think I have also included all the relevant decals, sounds, and the original hanger and loading screenies too, so I hope you enjoy as much as I have enjoyed playing around with them myself, oh and I forgot to mention Mr Stephen1918 as he has helped me on several occasions, and is a wonderful help and mine of information.

View File Russian Morane H Just a little rework of the previously uploaded MS.H in Russian markings, I have just tweaked the skins a little, and added decals instead of the pre printed insignia, just a personal preference. I have included the sound files, and the decals needed for this aircraft.The only thing I would like to improve is the addition of a windscreen, as per the Pfalz EI , but that is beyond my abilities. The only little Glitch I have encountered is the decal seems to show slightly on the wing tip, cant seem to solve that problem, but it isnt that bad anyhow. I tried to place the wing decals further inboard, but for some reason the Starboard wing doesnt accept this, but I dont think it looks too shabby. just follow all the usual malarkey for installing to FE, or indeed just use the skins if you already have the A/C installed. As I have said, this is just a tweak of the original skin, so all thanks to everyone who went before me in designing the A/C and for giving me the idea to tweak it !!!

I am working on the rest of them too, gonna struggle with the fighting cats though.....maybe experiment with some decal making ....hmmmmmmmmm.......oh dear, another thing to mess about with

Hahahahaha......and proably finding it is more effective chucking the Squadron silver at those damned Boche......the cads

Third time lucky ?

just uploaded, ( I think ) a re work of the MS.H basically just messed about with the skin a little, and added decals, instead of the pre fixed ones

yes, what Anti-Static said, you fellers do all the work and we reap the rewards, and with out you chaps the sim would have died off ages past

Yeah buddy, just came home to find this, been looking forward to it !!!!!!! :groupwave:

Yes there is a way of disabling the unjamming of the gun, I have seen something in the data files of some ( not all ) that states allow unjam true/False.....I have so many airframes uploaded though I cannot tell you where exactly I saw it, but it is there somewhere, I am sure one of the more esteemed members of the forum can advise on this better than I

Well good luck with that mate, keep us posted how you are getting along, I cant comment on the Pfalz, as I have never used it, or not yet at least, however I think you will find that only the very first production DIII's thehad the guns mounted internally, later DIII's and the DIIIa both had them mounted externally, as it was easier to service and or remove the guns without having to remove engine and fuselage panels. As for the differences between the 2 marks of Pfalz, they were mainly an upgraded engine, and a few redesigns to the lower wing and the tailplanes, so probably not worth the trouble,for us in the sim, especially as the aircraft was very unpopular with the pilots, allegedly due to performance and handling, but more likely to be the fact that it isnt a very pretty airframe when compared to contemporary aircraft also in service at the time

Yeah I have had similar problems, dont want to diss anyone, or start a flame war, but I dont understand why Mr Capun has to be quite so precious.........if he wants to preserve his bandwith why not have a similar system to the one on this site, which limits the amount of downloads you are allowed in one day, unless you subscribe, a very fair and impartial system if you ask me. The over protectiveness of skunkworks is a little petty in my opinion........only saying, and I hope my opinion doesnt pee anyone off

How cool is that !! The ultimate boys toy lol

What is everyones worst nightmare when it comes to messin' around with plane models ? My own personal hell is weapons loads.......how complicated can it possibly be ? I know I am not and " advanced modder " I just tinker as you all know ( I have asked for assistance several times ) but getting different bombs to work on aircraft that are supposed to be able to carry them is a real swine.............here is an example, I am not happy with the bomb loads on the Bristol Fighter, the bomb rack is incorrect, as there shout be 3 bomb racks all together, four bombs under each wing and a four bomb rack under the fuselage. According to Chaz Bowyers book on the F2B the airframe is rated to carry 12 cooper bombs, and 4 Rl112 bombs 2 under the fuselage or one under each wing. do ya think I can get the sod to work ?....not a chance in Hades !! It is a struggle to even get the standard load out as per the model to work !!! The USAS bombs I have found are awkward to get to show up, some of them dont at all !!! and yes I have changed the Nation settings for the bomb racks ......and the bombs !!! So that is my personal demon, what are yours ?

Woohooo.....I will dust off my Pith helmet, and get my long shorts on !!!!!! oh and look out for Camel Spiders in the cockpit lol lol lol

Nice one mate, soooo looking forward to the Eastern front campaign........A Middle East one would be good too hint hint !!!1

I found fiddling about with burst amounts works well too, 5 round bursts seem to work well, less stoppages too !!!

Errrrrrrrrr there was never a follow up on the "Where are my bombs" bit, about the rockets........how do we get those babies to work ?

Yes that is what I thought, but maybe a little poetic licence needs to be applied here ? Anyhow your previous suggestion to me worked well, and my FB gunner is now shooting as he should be, strange how only some of us seem to have the problem, but others dont, as I said the sim does have a mind of it's own sometimes !!!

If you look at my earlier post , we had this discussion ref the FB5, I sorted the FB's gunner by changing the fire chance 100 . Before I did this my gunner was a blind moron, who was only good for blocking my view, after I upped the firechance to 100, oh yes and the ammo count to 97, that seemed to solve the problem.......there were actually 2 types of drum mag for the Lewis gun and a lot of the photos I have seen are mounted Lewis guns with the larger capacity pans (97 rounds) not sure if that was applicable earlier in the war, due to weight considerations etc but there is certainly photographic evidence to suggest it was the case. I have actually come across this problem with other types too........very odd, but then sometimes the sim does some odd things....a ghost in the machine ,maybe ?..........

good un mate !!! are you going to be doing the rest of the early Fokkers also, to go with the B1 ? ie the BII and the d series ? I know they already exist but you are a master of upgrading so just wondering

Good point ocjar, I hadnt actually realised that about the gunners......show I dont read everything that maybe I should eh !!!
