Thank you, Steve! I wish you every success.

Something about the logo on the Roland's propeller. This is the same Russian trophy.

Badges of the LFG Plant where indeed "white". Anyway, on the Rolands C.II/D.II photos I haven't seen a "black" badges.

As seen in the photos, moved not only the push-pull rods, but the rod-link quadrants too.

Yeah, for this airplane need more keys like in first person shooter - "lean left/right". ))) Otherwise it is almost impossible to aim. But "head tilting isn't possible in FE"...

The badge of the LFG company was on each side of the plane. The Pfalz company drew his logo on the rudder.

Axial Berlin

The propeller had two prominent emblems of the manufacturer.

Here is a good example.

I congraulate you, Steve! It's a splendid model. I've always wanted to see this airplane in FE. Thank you! Now it would be nice to make the D.IIa modification - these were released more than D.II. But I can not refrain from criticism - as ever. )) As you know, these fighters was produced by LFG and by Pfalz. Note that each company painted crosses in different ways and in different places. For applying markings to identify the manufacturer. In addition, the planes built by LFG the serial numbers were not applied, unlike machines made by Pfalz. So you made the plane, which has an inverted (sic!) badge of the LFG company, but with the markings of the Pfalz Plant. Next. You made a great cockpit for the your Roland D.II. I think the Roland's cockpit, which we see in the game, very close to the historical prototype. Except that there was a fuel gauge (outside the cockpit), although without him it's okay. More importantly that those two "sticks" on each side of the cockpit should move synchronously with the control knob, similary to the Nieuports. (I mean the aileron push-pull rods and the aileron vertical/horisontal rod-link quadrants). Look at the pictures.

Probably this can be done simply by changing the characteristics of the aircraft in INI.files. For example, the power of the engine (180HP instead of160HP), max. speed and so on... Now I can't say for sure, but it seems to me that the appropriate files for the Pfalz D.IIIa can be found in the Armchiar Aces. Why not just download D.IIIa mod from the Capun's website?

Allow me to criticize. Yes, the plane is very good and to fly on it simply pleasantly. However, despite all the undoubted advantages, the model leaves the impression of slightly incompleteness. As if it was done in a hurry… For some reason on the plane are not displayed bullet holes (the aircraft always looks unharmed). Maybe it’s only I have such trouble? But that’s not all. When viewed from the cockpit, visible unfinished bracing wire (see added screenshot). In addition, the only available instrument is not working; a pointer will never budge. The controls are also motionless… Perhaps these shortcomings will be corrected in future versions of the model?

Looks great! Thank you so much. Very much indeed.

Oops... I'm sorry. My fault. I really didn't hear about it... Thank you for the instructions, you helped me a lot.

At last I was able to download this fine model (in view of my slow internet). As you foresaw, there is a problem at installation of the HalbD.V into FE. Alas! The game does not see the new plane... So the flight did not take place.(

Excellent! Now everything is all right. It must be admitted that the efficiency of your work is beyond praise. Thank you very much, Stephen.

Somewhere here I read that you wanted to make a new, more realistic Triplane. It's an interesting idea. But there are a lot of interesting aircraft of the WWI that are not represented in FE. You have to choose from. I would suggest to make the plane A.W.F.K.8 (known as the "Big Ack"). Also you can pay attention to Caudron G.3 or Junkers J.4. For a map of Galicia necessary reconnaissance plane Anade (your Anasal is good, but these aircraft came too late and did not have time to work on the front). For operations over the sea could use floatplanes Hansa Brandenburg W.12 or W.29 and a flying boats F.B.A. C or H. All in all, you may take any plane of your choice.

Wait and see

OK, Steve, I understand )) Thanks for the reply.

Quite amazing! Honest to God, you are not only a great maker of models, but also an artist! Thank you.

First of all, I want to thank you for your wonderfull work. However I have long wanted to ask you, why all the Albatrosses, made by you, it is not quite correctly shown the cables of the Elevator control? Please, dont think I'm being mean, but still...

If you are interested to compare, in fact, the RE8 cockpit looked like. The use of the cockpit for the SE5 is not quite correct, but nothing else we still don't have. Happy landings! ) Crowford

<FEISTY SMILE> F...ing phone, f...ing connect, f...ing separatists!!! I type one thing and they sent another, and then, when they want!!! I meant that the models from Bwf look lile they hewed with the axe. It really is a clumsy work - is something a very remoted resembling their prototypes. Relative to HalbD3 by A-Team... Previously, there was comrad Capun. Once upon a time he quarreled with the admins and took away all their models. Thay can be freely downloaded from this site http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/ but there is a very complicated registration - as the KGB and the CIA combined! ))
