Savoia Seaplane fighter release.
« on: April 11, 2010, 02:57:20 PM »

I'm more than happy to present the first seaplane fighter for Il2, a dream that started long ago after watching a anime film called Porco Rosso. Now the plane is a reality and I'm offering here so you guys can enjoy it. The plane is based on the default MBR-2 reduced in size so looks more like a fighter, Slow made corrections into the 3d holes the gunners have left, and then Metatron created the wonderful default skin. The plane was completed by Beowolff that made it the slot, fm, new cockpit, and 3d fine details like rounded engine, I can't be grateful enough to this guys, specially Beowolff for his patience and skills.
I want to say thanks to SAS guys too, for offering me the space to post this mods and for this space to all Il2 fans.

Thanks SAS!

Now about the plane. FM is realistic, but this is not a real plane, is a 'for fun' fantasy plane and not a real WW2 fighter. That want to say that you can enjoy doing what he does best, fighting above the waves and shooting down enemy planes. The Savoia carry 2 Breda Safat 12.7MG and can carry two bombs too. It have a G50 fighter cockpit that will let you feel the splashes on your face ;) So please take this plane as it is, I made this one cause I think it will be fun to fly, and hope someone will enjoy.
About the install, Diff_FM is required to fly it. It was tested in UP2.00 and SAS_ModAct, but has 'not' been tested in 'other' mod installs.







Here's the download link:

http://www.filefront.com/16088627/S-21.rar

Add this line to Air.ini

Savoia_S-21        air.S_21 1                          NOINFO  i01   SUMMER

Remember to add the skin folder on your Paintschemes folder, MBR2 skins should work more or less, but new skins will be desirable. Specially some Reggia Aeronautica ones.And enjoy. Some feedback will be interesting. Thanks

-Skin: Metatron
-3d edition: Slow

Great stuff! Looking at the model, i've been thinking it would look great with a 'open cockpit' windscreen, from a U2 for example, don't know how easy that would be though.

What are the performance specs Beowolf?

Il porco rosso decollera una volta ancora! Grazie mille! :)

I know this is a bit off-topic, but what is that ship on one of the screenshots? It looks very detailed, far different from the gray blocks 'o ships in my Il-2 install... is it a mod?

Beautiful and fun mod, thanks Darko!

Just an advice about a little bug: 3D model works for all countries except for default Italy.
This bug can be easily solved duplicating the 3do/plane/S_21(Multi1) folder and renaming the obtained new one 3do/plane/S_21(It).

EDIT: Found another little bug: horizontal elevator working is reversed (the plane flies well, I'm referring only to 3D animation). But for this I don't have solution, sorry! ;D

Glad you guys are enjoying it! This bird is a little beast as Beowolff just explained so be careful specially when taking off. The plane is designed to compete against Gladiators, Cr-42, I153 and planes like that. I can shoot down glads but being hit in return so be careful :D
Hope someone will make cool skins for it soon. I think it really deserves it, also If Beowolff request some skins you guys must please him ;)
The map on the pics is Italy_DF and water colour from AAA, the ship is the default soviet light cruiser.

I saw this plane about a year ago on youtube and i finally can fly it!
Only one little bug I found is that the AI acts like a bomber and i definitely want to dogfight this plane!

A big thank you mr. RealDarko! ;D

I have take your file, I have unzip il my folder MODS..... But my games IL2 always crash at 60%.....

I checked everything but I did not find error:
I put the folder Savoia S-21 in my folder MODS, I have add the lines in my air.ini, and I put the folder Savoia_S-21 in my folder Skins ......

I have installed many aircraft and is the first time which I was unable to install one ..... 
I don't understand what is wrong ....

Sorry if I have a bad English, I'm french ....
