Sopwith Schneider by Baldy and UncleTgt!

Sopwith Schneider

Have just uploaded this aircraft. This is not an original work by me but a fourteen year old model for FS2004 by Craig Richardson. It is such a suitable a/c for both HMS Campania and HMS Ben-my-Chree that I converted it to CFS 2 and added a dp. UncleTgt, as usual, has done the heavy lifting by sorting out the panels and providing four new textures.

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

Description: A small British floatplane adapted for war from the 1914 Schneider Trophy winner. Carried out trials on HMS Ben-my-Chree and HMS Campania. Also used in early efforts to intercept Zeppelin airships even to the extent of mounting two a/c on submarine E22. This experiment was unsuccessful. Thus aircraft served with the RFC, RNAS and the later RAF.

This model is a conversion to CFS 2 from a FS2004 model by Craig Richardson in 2004.

Thank you Baldy and Uncltgt for such a great little plane. I really enjoy the history behind the your work as well. Very interesting stuff.

Baldy and Uncle,

This is truly interesting and very cool stuff, thank you for all of your efforts! :very_drunk:
 
Actually, the USNAS skin is a bit of a cheat, the photos show her sporting a 4 bladed prop, but I got carried away...
 
Is this Schneider as in Trophy? A very interesting aircraft; looking a lot like the Sopwith Tabloid. I love all this First World War output and particularly like the USNAS paint. Thanks for such a rich and useful stream of aircraft and ships Baldy and Uncle:applause::applause:! Feeling a bit frustrated that there are no WW1 seaplane bases on the English, French and Belgian coasts. I'm slowly making my way up the coast of WW1 Belgium and looking for a mole to suit Zeebrugge.:mixed-smiley-010:
 
Hi all.

That nice Mr Driver has pointed out that I've left the sound folder empty in the Sopwith Schneider ( yes it's a production model of the 1914 Schneider Trophy winner ) -- my apologies all round for my senility -- the easiest thing to do is alias the sound to a similar a/c

once again, sorry chaps

I had the same trouble the first time I tried to take off and land. Since then she's sat on the water perfectly. The aircraftmen must have repaired the holes in the floats overnight.
 
Hi

Can't explain that - never happened before and I've just tried it again and it works fine

all I can think of is your aircraft.cfg is corrupted so try this one

View attachment Aircraft.cfg.txt

this from my install and I've just tried it and it's OK ( remember to delete the .txt )


or is it your sea level, I'm guessing now

I tried it but still no joy. Any other seaplane (either WW1 and WW2) works like a charm.

I tried it on different installations, with or without Rhumba's mesh, with the same result.
