Oh, Santa another present?

[NachtPiloten]

Oh yes, same type just a different wrapping - see as soon as it is approved.

 

[phrog_phixer]

Waiting anxiously...

 

[NachtPiloten]

Wrapped and ready to be opened

Hello - just checked and it is there - under the tree with the other one.

 

[phrog_phixer]

Ok, found the file! Super awesome work...were these intended for OFF originally?

 

[NachtPiloten]

I wanted to .....

I contacted the OFF folks and shared the planes, but they have restrictive policies on the planes they use (and they should) and they were not willing to partner the way I wanted. I get it and it is their show so we could not strike a deal. They liked the external and asked for some other changes... Just wish I could find a way to use these in OFF so folks could at least fly them against other WW1 planes. I thought that there was a way to do that, but we'll need to wait a see...shame really. I wanted to see what the SSW could do as it was reported to be a very good late war plane.

Well we thank you for your efforts at any rate Ted, it's a really nice airplane! I hope someone will be able to figure out how to add it to OFF/WOFF at some point so it can be enjoyed to its fullest against real opponents.

 

[HouseHobbit]

Thanks Ted,i will give them a go against my beautiful hobbit special. I have all the OFF/WOFF files in my advanced CFS3 set up.

They are really nice, will post some screenshots (as i can)battling them with my Hobbit special.

 

[MajorMagee]

I bought OFF when it came out and then did away with the new user interface and went back to a conventional CFS3 like set-up dedicated to WWI planes, locations and scenarios. For me, it's very easy to add new planes, so thank you very much for these.

 

[MajorMagee]

These two seem to be unflyable. The CG seems all out of whack, and I often get control reversals.

Is anyone else have trouble with achieving straight and level in them?

 

[NachtPiloten]

Hmmm....

Fly fine on my rig. Let me know and I'll fix if there is problem.

 

[MajorMagee]

Okay, I'll check my joystick set-up.

 

[MajorMagee]

Recalibration helped some. What helped more was to apply up elevator trim. Even so, it's a pretty twitchy ride, and easily subject to PIO.

 

[HouseHobbit]

Work Fine here, except for the lack of a seat belt that is.

 

[garykidman]

I Like it a lot

Will it instal in Between heaven and Hell and could you go back to the CFS3 SETUP. I must admit I prefer the old cf3 setup where you can addon planes without upsetting anything.

Can't seem to find this one where is it?

 

[FOO FIGHTER]

Excellent work, as usual. Very grateful to have both aircraft. Many thanks.

 

[MajorMagee]

With further flying I'm finding that once the elevator trim is adjusted it's fairly good except for left aileron roll. Then it just flips on it's left side and does a horizontal outside loop as if you've only flicked the aileron and then applied full down elevator. I'm not sure if it's a flight model issue, or just something about the way this aircraft actually flew (too much torque and not enough elevator?).

 

[Stickshaker]

Thank you for this gift, Ted! I waited and hoped for a good D.III a long time. One question: on both versions, the skin on the wings and the nose (viewed from the cockpit) are so bright that they turn almost completely white. The colors completely disappear. I do not have this issue with other planes.
I really hope that we can fly her in OFF/WOFF one day.

 

[MajorMagee]

That can happen if you have shine enabled in the shader xml, and with some of the earlier versions of AnKor's d3d8.dll.

It can be fixed with a minor hex edit of the m3d file.

 

[Stickshaker]

Hello Major,
Thanks for this useful information. Can you perhaps point me to a tutorial or so in which the modifications are explained?
Best regards,
Stickshaker
