The Albatros D.III (OAW) The Albatros D.III was a development of the Albatros D.II. Having investigated the construction of captured Nieuport fighters, Albatros engineers designed the lower wing of the D.III narrower and shorter than the upper, supported by V-shaped struts. The Mercedes 6 cylinder engine was increased to 180hp from 160hp. Wing tips became swept, that helped to avoid wings vibration. The aileron control rods were drawn through the lower wing, and the radiator was displaced from the fuselage side to the middle of the upper wing. Weight reduction was one of the main objectives at that time. Test flights began in August – September of 1916, and in December 1916 the plane was delivered to fighter squadrons. Several months of combat flights revealed that plane could lose its lower wing in a steep dive or in a sharp turn. Water from radiator, placed on the upper wing, poured out onto the machineguns making firing impossible. After this, radiator was placed to the right side of the pilot. By June 1917 Albatros started using new Daimler’s cellular radiator that helped to solve problem with engine overheating. The plane was manufactured in Albatros Werke and Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke (OAW) factories. The OAW version is principally identified by the use of a rounded rudder, which later became standard on the later D.V series. In total 1346 copies of Albatros D.III were built. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The model, textures. panel and air files are by Captain Kurt.

Japanese static aircraft This is a dozen static Japanese aircraft ground objects. They are converted from the original CFS2 models into SCENEDB/inf .bgl files which can be placed in the game with the Mission Builder. They use the same texture files as the original models so you can change the textures with any different options for the same aircraft that may be available. They have damage models and are destroyable.

This is a set of twelve WWII Luftwaffe airfield ground vehicles. These are not really intended as targets although they do have damage files. Rather they are intended to be viewed around the airfield from the player's aircraft. So, they are more detailed than the usual vehicle bgls. Therefore they have a bit larger file, but still not bad. I've put quite a few in a mission without affecting the frame rates. Vehicles: Ah B2/1 = towed fuel bowser Hanomag_SS100 = heavy road and airfield tractor Hanomag_tow = Hanomag tractor towing fuel bowser Henschel_33D = most commonly used Luftwaffe medium truck Krupp_Protze = personnel mover Krupp_Protze_open = personnel mover without convertable canvas cover Kubelwagen = Volkswagen version of a Jeep type car Kubelwagen_top = Volkswagen version of a Jeep type car with a convertable canvas top LW_bomb_ loader = manual hydraulic lift for loading a single bomb LW_starter_cart = generator powered starter cart MB_L1500S_fire = fire truck, water pressure pump was in the towed trailer MB_LG3000_fuel = 3500 liter fuel tanker truck Credits: Models and textures by Captain Kurt Allen for his "FSDS make exploding object tools" without which I never would have figured out how to create these objects.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1/B by Design Team Daedalus Unit: 9./JG 27 May, 1941 Gela, Sicily Pilot: Unknown To improve on the performance afforded by the 690 hp Jumo 210 of the earlier Bf 109 versions, the larger, longer 1080 hp Daimler-Benz DB 601A engine was used. As a consequence, the nose, cooling system, and wings had to be redesigned resulting in the classic Bf 109E series. In late 1938, the Bf 109E entered production. It entered general service with the Lufwaffe in the spring of 1939. A total of 1,183 E-1 were built, 110 of them were E-1/B fighter bomber versions. The E-1/B was a small batch of E-1s that became the first operational Bf 109 fighter bomber, or Jagdbomber (usually abbreviated to Jabo). These were fitted with an ETC 500 bomb rack, carrying one 250 kg (550 lb) bomb. There were many small differences between indivual E-1s because the E-1 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard was lightly armed with two 7.92mm MG17s above the engine and two in the wings and had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor,E-4 type squared canopies, E-7 type pointed spinners, etc. So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft was modified with pilot head armor flate plate plus curved top, a capped nose spinner, and had a rear view mirrow fitted to the top of the front windscreen Pstrany is the primary model author with some small model refinement and additions by Captain Kurt as the model was collaborated on during development. Captain Kurt created the textures for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, air files and aircraft.cfg files.
