This is a great and much-needed addition to the WWI hangar. I tried her out and she is lovely. I tried her in DOF and she wouldn't work until I added the Albatross CX. It seems they share elements of the same flight model. New users should be aware of this.

Thank You for the nice Plane.... Works very well .....I did notice that in order to drop bombs I had to use my key that is assigned to rockets ...

Sweet! Looks great! Runs in DBW-1916! Only two things i notice are that i can't see to aim the fixed pilots gun, and that when the gunner turns to aim off center, i get this odd... "double visual"

Super sweet aircraft though! Looking forward to Stiv's skin work as usual!





All the best

The "double vision" is part of the cockpit WIP. I have to connect the Cockpit view gunner with the Outside view gunner. So, they move
in sync.

For now, Pilot gun sighting will have to be done using Ctrl/F1 in Pilot view. IMHO, in real life, I can not see how the Pilot could see to shoot
with the Gunner's butt in his face.

Cant wait for the finished product.

I imagine in real life usage, the gunner would be unlikely to use the forward gun for strafing, but if he did the gunner would likely be sitting down in the nose out of the pilots view, unlike when standing to use either swivel mounted gun. In any case, a real pilot in this thing would have much more freedom to lean and look around the gunner than we in IL-2 1946 enjoy.

Great work so far! Its been said a thousand times now, but again, great work!

Wait until you see the campaign I'm 80% finished. It's based on a lot of FE v LSK contacts during Bloody April. Got the info out of Bloody
April/Black September; aka BABS. Excellent book. Been playing Civ 3 all day. Just going to try the new FE now.

Edit. I took her up after a day playing as Babylon in Civ III. Flies, and lands well. Ready for some skins, and inclusion in BAT-DOF


cheers

Ooooh....a 2b  :P

Tricycle undercarriage......just the thing to cope with my overenthusiastic use of throttle/ joystick on takeoff  o_O ::( :D

Well done Zflyer48 !

Looks like I'll have a new single mission to do. I'm sure it'll take damage. Unlike the BE2C.

cheers
