Superb work as always, amazed at how you find all the information for the schemes.


I took a look at the aircraft Dreamk sent me but to be honest I really do not know where to start, there are so many and all in different states of progress, sadly I do not have Dreamk's talent for these so I suppose they will go no further with me unless maybe the aircraft could be done one at a time and released.

Even then it would need everyone who might be working on them to stay in touch on a regular basis so each problem encountered could be dealt with, sadly life issues and other projects mean that might not happen.


Take care.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

I am going to upload the Ansaldo A1, the Sikorsky S16 and the Mosca MB in the coming days - I am currently putting the last hand at adapting the MotorRotary mod to 412 and 410 (for some reason I wrote this on the basis of 4.13.1!) and reshaping their FM. The best is indeed to make these available to the community and work on them by solving issue after issue - these 3 ones are rather complete.

Add another Sikorsky S12, it's quite working.

Many thanks to all concerned for bringing these beautiful a/c to IL2 skies !

Cheers

Fantastic work as always.

Ok - here's the part 1 at last:
This pack includes 7 planes: the Ansaldo A1, Sikorsky S12, S12bis, S16-3, S16ser, Mosca MB and Mosca MBbis
Also included a special mod for reproducing the historical characteristics of rotary engines: no throttle, on some engine you can use the mix to indirectly modulate the rpm, as soon as you start the engine you go for the maximal power, the magneto switch is used to "blip" you can then get 0, 1/3, 2/3 or 3/3 of this maximal nominal power - in theory as when you are in flight you must take the inertia of the engine-propeller rotating unit into account. To slow your plane in flight (without "blipping", you raise your nose), and to increase speed, you duck. Remember landing was most often done by using progressively the blipping switch till cutting the engine completely in the last step of the landing approach. This mod also brings a solution to the overheating problem that has plagued ww1 aircraft in Il2.

Notes:
1) The Modact versions (4.12.2 and 4.13.x) still display the debugging info onscreen - I will eliminate this in the next update (it's already cleaned in the BAT version) but as it gives interesting info that helps understanding how these engines run, I decided to keep it like this for this first release
2) I am completing the versions of the mod for 4.10.1m (a little problematic as the various engines related classes are very different from 4.12 & 4.13) as quite a numbers of ww1 players still use this base version.

Warning
1) this mod modifies the behaviour of all aircraft defined as Rotary in their FM - this will cause troubles with some other aircraft that have beeen defined as such but without suiting the FM to historical data - they will fly correctly but you''ll have problems at take off - I'll try to make new FM for them as soon as i can with - not a real problem, just change the emd file they use with the one I wrote for the KV pack (Rhone and Gnome rotary engines)
2) the Ai does not (yet) understand how to take off with this rotary engines aircraft - it knows however how to fly them
