Title: SPAD S.XIII
Post by: andylamb1 on November 15, 2017, 04:11:26 PM
The guys over at Aviaskins have this working in il2 thanks to Mission_bug

I have this beauty running on BAT, hope anyone can give her a little more love than I.

All credit goes to the origanal authors, Molvar from Aviaskins (for 3d, etc) and Stalker (for compilation of skins)from here.

The only thing I have done is to compile all I have found into one.

I am hoping that a java guru can find some time to get this fine aeroplane performing as it should.

For the aeroplane,  https://www.mediafire.com/file/lcpapdaoxh95nm1/SPAD_XIII.7z

For the skins, https://www.mediafire.com/file/rxsc1qlc52edwd1/SPAD13.7z

Once again, forgive this pleb if I've missed someone out.

Andy

Ps. I have limited access at Aviaskins and as this belongs there, would someone be kind enough to upload it to its original thread

No problem David, but a lot more testing needed. Noticed problems when used with the other SPAD's. Might try adding this by JSGME?

Thank you Evil, excellent find. Now all three flying and taking off together. Even have the old DBW 1916 mod working with the SPAD S.VII ;D

Had to get the order of loading file folders in correct sequence, VII first followed by the 13/14 pack.

Now to have a look at the cockpit...  hint, hint :P

And it would be lovely to have a dedicated FM for the XIII..... PLEASE :-*

Maybe the SE5A FM, they had similar engines, and it'd save time.

In any case, this one deserves its place in BAT/DOF !!!

I agree in that this should be included in BAT one day. Some skins would be nice too.

Here is a little gizmo to improve the gunsight situation. Put it in 3do/cockpit/Spad-13 (after you have saved or renamed the original). It is just a makeshift but at least you can now have a proper gunsight view, though the gunfire goes way to the left extremity of the gunsight. I have tried this in both the Spad XIII versions given in this thread and it seems to work in both. I should say that I have not asked anyone's permission to do any of this and if any of the original creators object I will remove the link. https://www.mediafire.com/file/tql6m813ujpi1px/CF_D0.MSH

I'm happy too! So I want to share a cool picture of the bird in Flying Corps (or was RAF already?) colors.

Hi guys, following the suggestion of Mr. David Prosser, at my own risk replaces the FM of SPAD VIIs in the installation of SPAD XIII WIP by the FM of Se5a, explaining that it has become better in several maneuvers losing the tendency to spin in closed curves at medium and low velocities .
And I look forward to the realization of an FM for the new SPAD XIII, which will certainly be adequate and close another of the breaches of MOD WWI.

Oh HAPPY DAY  ;D

Many thanks to all who brought this BEAUTY to life
Se5a FM works nicely....
Brilliant FoV from XIII cockpit....
Loads of stunning skins....
Newly revamped Fokker VII for opposition.....

I've mysteriously become ill and don't think I'll be able to get to work today   ;)

I don't understand what is going on! Is there a Spad XIII available for download with a Se5a fm? If so, where can I get it??

I've been looking for a authentic SPAD 13 engine sound...found this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0vha6PEz8Y

I did not have much time to try other situations in the use of Spad XIII, but I could see that it is only possible to use Spad VII with the uninstallation of XIII, and there is possibly a conflict which I do not have the knowledge to identify. Spad VII is available only as AI.
Hopefully this can be fixed soon.

That's good news. Where exactly did youput it in the DOF Air ini? I'd like to use it in campaigns if possible, or at least do a single mission.

Hi David

I put my 13 next to my 7 in air.ini
Works a treat
13 is a far more capable a/c than the 7 IMHO
Better FOV definitely helps  8)

I did that the second time. No dice. I presume the folder is !AIRCRAFT_SPAD XII ? Mine has the Spad7 FM

Post by: David Prosser on September 06, 2018, 10:49:30 PM
I added the Spad XIII just below the Spad VII in the air.ini of DOF3, where I also added the plane. No dice with it appearing. CTD at 60%. I guess I'll just have to wait for it to appear in an update.

Sounds great! Hopefully between now and then, someone will make some USAS skins in the various squadron markings or create a template.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not just Americans who like Spad 13s. Thanks in advance. I echo wackywings in being eager to see USAS skins. I'm glad there are some for the Bre14.

I can confirm that both the Spad VII and Spad XIII work very well independently but not when they're in the same installation

Many thanks vampire_pilot.........very much looking forward to the next BAT release !

Maybe its just an issue with BAT?

In DBW_1916, They fly perfectly together.

Here, I fly a SPAD 7 alongside an AI SPAD 13

Yeah, I got it flying in DBW 1916 back in 2016 when I still lived in Korea. With two copies of BAT courtesy of Alfie Noakes, there's little room left for anything else.    ;-)
