Hello guys, this is my re-worked version of the RAF Re-8 by gio963tto. 





Link updated 10th October 2015.

Skins and template by Stalker:

3D model: gio963tto.

Re-work by: Pete Shaw aka Mission_bug using original cockpit 3D, the control stick and rudder bar are movable.
                                                   
original slot: starling/Skvorez altered by myself to except different weapons and FM (please see notes).

FM: uses that of the U-2 renamed for the RE8 with certain parameters altered to represent the RE8 speed and weight. Engine emd is BMW_VI_Series renamed to RAF_4a with hp altered.

RE8 texture updates: vpmedia

Default skin: Stalker.

Bombs: Dreamk WWI weapons packs.

RE8 rack in arms folder: From original 3d in RE8 model by gio963tto.

Pilot textures:  Gb taken from DBW 1916

Cockpit textures by vpmedia:





Gunner station operable:






New loadouts:






Note:

If you change the default skin you will also have to change the skin1o in the cockpit and gunner folders.

Filelist entries:

FlightModels/RE8.fmd
FlightModels/RE8_FM
FlightModels/RAF_4a_Series.emd


Currently running in my DBW 1916, DBW 1.71 and TD 4.12 with SAS ModAct 5.30 ( DBW 1.71 version).


Place the folder for the AIRCRAFT_RE8 DBW 1916 or AIRCRAFT_RE8 DBW 1.71 in your mod folder and add the necessary entries:


Entry for air.ini:
RE8c                         air.RE8c 1                                        gb01   SUMMER


Notes:

There were issues with bombs not showing in DBW 1916 and DBW 1.71 so the weapons were changed to represent each install.  For DBW 1916 they use the vpmedia altered weapons files; for DBW 1.71 the latest update by Dreamk pinned in the WWI section at SAS, please use the version specified.

Some of the hooks needed changing to orientate the bombs in each install so please use the aircraft in the pack intended for it.

There were many updates for the WWI weapons so the two versions provided may only show default in the arming screen if you do not have the current updates.

The damage textures do not appear when the aircraft is hit, sorry, I do not have any explanation for the effect.

Rear gun continues to shoot with gunner dead.

No working gauges.

The stated bomb carriage is around 100lb, however, I used loadouts as per the RoF RE-8, and the two 50lb is from a reference.

RoF loadouts:

7.69 x 973 + 12 x 20lb.
7.69 x 973 + 8 x 20lb 2x 112lb.
7.69 x 973 + 2x 112lb.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete Shaw, aka Mission_bug September 11th 2015.

Mission_bug, you are doing a great job on these old birds. Thank you very much !

[David Prosser]

Hi Mission bug, great job. I'm glad that after my departure have not left the era of the first world war. You all are great.

[HotelAlpha]

Really nice job there Mission bug!  Thank you!

[Mission_bug]

Great to know you guys are happy with the WWI aircraft I have done so far.

Hi Mission bug, great job. I'm glad that after my departure have not left the era of the first world war. You all are great.

Sadly I do not have your talent for this Kant but I will continue to tinker with those that need it and make the missing slots, your departure was a sad day for the WWI fans as you made such a huge contribution to keeping that period going.

Take care guys.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

[David Prosser]

Thanks.

Thought I would try one of those outstanding templates from Stalker.







Estonia had six RE-8 aircraft but it seems only one ever flew No 36.


Not entirely sure I have the right colour a little more research needed.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Hello guys, I may have found the solution for the damage textures failing to show.








Will upload when sure all is working in various installs.


The cure for the problem of the gun still firing when the gunner is dead is still a mystery.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
