This is one of my favorites planes. I revised the airfile and prepared eight new skins for it using real Dewoitine D.520 planes as a basis. I also prepared the original prototype livery, the only real skin in the package.

The texture mapping is different. I'll work the textures to fit in the d.520.

Unhappily

The problem is in the model. The CTD remains even after I applied Uncle TGT patch.

I've decompiled it to scasm code and edit the lightstate and crash issues.... also redid the lods so it changes smoother.... hopefully.
It is fixed now.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - France

Description: The package includes eight planes, one real, the prototype, and seven inspired by real Dewoitine D.520 aircraft. The airfile, aircraft cfg and panel were revised. Dive and landing performance were enhanced.

The Dewoitine D.551 was to be a marvellous machine able to get 662 KPH with a 1050 HP Hispano Suiza 12Y51 engine. Three prototypes were built and were destroyed under German supervision. Williams Dickens know my admiration for the plane and built this model as a surprise to me. I used Jean Cuny's book L'avions Dewoitine to built the airfiles according the real object. In the real world, Replic Air, a French society, is trying to built a fourth aircraft following the original plans. You can see more at http://replicair.fr/en/aircraft/dewoitine-d551/.

Nice flights.

Pepe
