Jasta11AlbatrosDvas.zip; Here it is folks, the new updated CFS2 Albatros Dva by Luftwaffe Oberst! You will all need our planes if any allied squad ever wishes to challenge us in a duel. The original models: Flashar Albatros Dva and Baumer Albatros Dva, were made by Stuart Green. Besides missing the 3-D cockpit, I asked Stuart if I could improve on his model...like SimTech's Fokker Dr-1. My goal is to make all the German Aircraft of WW1 fly as close to the original specs as possible for Jasta 11. Looking at actual photos of the Albatros Dva, I re-did the 2-D Panel lay-out exactly to the specs. I included some homemade gauges based on what the experimental gauges looked like back then in WW1. The Baroness, Lothar, Manfred and Baumer Albatros sounds run off the Flashar_Albatros to save everyone space on their Hard Drive. I thank Stuart Green for the use of his nice work! I included the Castor Oil Effects and Independent Firing Spandaus.(Left gun is fired with your machine gun button and your cannon button fires the right gun.) Just like the real thing! I made the Air file from scratch to make the Albatros Dva fly as realistically as possible for the CFS2 format; these planes are not Mods. From what info I could get about these planes, the Albatros Dva was advanced for its time. The Albatros Dva also had a limited forward view, and was more of a "Boom and Zoom" type of aircraft in combat. However, with the Entente planes becoming more maneuverable and faster in 1917, the Albatros Dva soon found itself outclassed and was phased out by the end of 1917. It has been stated in many books that the British "Pup" could out turn the Albatros twice in a circle. The Albatros was plagued with structural wing failures, so be careful when pulling out of a dive...you just might lose a wing or in the game, Blow Up! Included with the Albatros Package is 3 re-paints done by me: Lothar Albatros, Manfred Albatros and Baroness Albatros. These skins are based on the actual non-fiction colors of Jasta 11, except for the Baroness Albatros. I custom made the 180hp Mercedes 6 cylinder engine sounds with the wind effects.(I think I'm close to the real sounds of that engine!) I also added custom prop effects! Just unzip the Jasta11AlbatrosDva file on your desktop and then unzip the Flashar_Albatros, Baumer_Albatros, Baroness_Albatros, Lothar_Albatros and the Manfred_Albatros and place the unzipped files in you Microsoft Games - Combat Flight Simulator 2 – Aircraft folder. And place the FX_EXHAUST_SMOKE file and place it in your Microsoft Games - Combat Flight Simulator 2 – Effects folder…and that’s it! Finally unzip the Gauges folder and place the gauge files in to your Microsoft Games - Combat Flight Simulator 2 – Gauges Folder, now you're done. Enjoy!
