S.E.5-A = 21 skin-pack for World War 1 = LATE Version=
« on: January 26, 2016, 10:26:26 AM »

RAF (Royal Aircraft Factory) S.E.5a
SE5-A ----- 21 Skin-Pack

The initial models of the S.E.5a differed from late production examples of the S.E.5 only in the type of engine installed
– a geared 200 hp Hispano-Suiza 8b, often turning a large clockwise-rotation four-bladed propeller, replacing the 150 hp H.S.
8A model. In total 5,265 S.E.5s were built by six manufacturers: Austin Motors (1,650), Air Navigation and Engineering
Company (560), Curtiss (1), Martinsyde (258), the Royal Aircraft Factory (200), Vickers (2,164) and Wolseley Motors Limited
 (431). A few were converted to two-seat trainers and there were plans for Curtiss to build 1,000 S.E.5s in the
United States but only one was completed before the end of the war. At first, airframe construction outstripped the very
limited supply of French-built Hispano-Suiza engines and squadrons earmarked to receive the new fighter had to soldier on
with Airco DH 5s and Nieuport 24s until early 1918. The troublesome geared "-8b" model was prone to have serious gear
reduction system problems, sometimes with the propeller (and even the entire gearbox on a very few occasions) separating
from the engine and airframe in flight, a problem shared with the similarly-powered Sopwith Dolphin.

The introduction of the 200 hp (149 kW) Wolseley Viper, a high-compression, direct-drive version of the Hispano-Suiza 8a
made under licence by Wolseley Motors Limited, solved the S.E.5a's engine problems and was adopted as the standard
powerplant.

About 38 of the late-production Austin-built S.E.5as were assigned to the American Expeditionary Force, with
the 25th Aero Squadron getting its aircraft (mostly armed only with the fuselage-mounted Vickers gun) at the
very end of the Great war.

- This is a 21 skin pack for the SE5a game aircraft.
It is for the IL2-1946+Mods.


Take Note guys, this is for the SE5-A airplane. The previous skin-package already posted is for the SE5 airplane.
They are 2 different airplanes.
----   They look almost the same, but on closer inspection, you will notice that this SE5-A has a longer exhaust pipe running back
 alongside the fuselage and its engine has better performance capabilities .
- AND it has a different style of front radiator.... and a bigger pilot headrest behind the cockpit... some other smaller details.

just picking nits here, max - you say 21 skin pack, the pic at H19 says 26 skin pack....
not that it really matters, but just wanting to confirm that this is indeed the same pack?
or are we still waiting for the 21 skin pack to be uploaded?
awesome stuff, either way! :D

edit: never mind, i see the 26 skin pack is already released,(i actually have it already, lol) and the 21 pack we still await... ;)

My apologies Mark. I forgot to re-link this package since the Hangar-19 closed down.
I will re-write the link once again.
