I don't have MAW installed at the moment, I recall there was a Skua and or Roc included, is this so?

Thanks,

Clive
 
Skua. It's a bit "Could do better" though. Old CFS1 model of Corrado's, if I remember correctly, not improved by an improvable skin... You want to ask John to do one. I don't know how he manages, but even these old things look good once he's had a go at them.
 
Like the Fulmer wasn't it AI? A shame in both cases that they didn't have a VC. Both are imporant early FAA aircraft.
 
The MAW Fulmar has a nice skin, though - that makes a lot of difference.

Clive, you've got the source files for the Hurricane cockpit - without suggesting that you make it actually correct, is there any way you could get it more-or-less to fit these two aircraft? Bodge job perhaps, but at least they'd be useable!
 
The Fairey Battle pilot's cockpit fits both without too much trouble.

Don't forget to reset the air file to =0!
 
I have the Fulmar and Skua in my MAW aircraft but they are not selectable in quick combat. I'd like to take a look at these also. Could you tell me what I need to do to make them available for flying? Thanks.

You have to edit the .AIR file with AirEd, and change Type from 2 to 0 to make it flyable. Maybe you will have to copy a cockpit file from another model, too (look in the model file to see wether there is a cockpit or not).

Hope it helps.

This does help, but I have one more question. I am not familiar with AirEd, where would I get this?
 
Thanks for the replies chaps! :)


Would be nice to have a few early FAA a/c in ETO if only for Chris's Ford & Thorney Island.

You read my mind Gordon (bet it didn't take long, hehe). There are a few forgotten a/c that we have in one form or another that could be made useable and that would round off the early war picture .
The Skua, Fulmar & Anson all did their bit, check out these stories; (thanks for the link John)

Any chance of one of you kind lads sending me the Skua and Fulmar pretty please? :)
I have plans to make an Anson pit at some point, the Skua would e agood one to have too. I'll try the Battle one in the Fulmar and see how it fits.
 
the only trouble with the MAW Fulmar is the cross that is always down. I've corrected this by changing the aircraft.cfg some time ago but I don't remember which parameter exactly.
 
Pat Pattle:
I have the standard MAW Fulmar and Skua that I think I can send you if that is all you are asking for. I don't have any templates or extras.

:wavey:ndicki The Fairey Battle pilot's cockpit has 3 files, 0, 01 and 02. Do you have to rename all 3 or just the cockpit0 one.

Thanks:ernae:

Uploading base a/c to your folder on the ftp now. Will load into cfs 3 to check that no pylons etc required.
