Thanks, this pack has been in gestation for a while I think. The Moscha pusher looks like it could be a stand in for A Caudron G III.Caudron G III makes GIO
After 2 years on the shelf, this mod is at last advancing, and its first batch is now near completion :P.
I am finalizing functional historical cockpits for these planes (as much as info on the cockpit is available as some of these aircraft are rather "esoteric" ;D).
Here's a foretaste of the pack :D.
As usual, help with templates and skins would be more than welcome ;).
The first batch is a huge one (Maybe I'll upload it in 2 parts) and includes: Sikorsky S-16Ser, S-16-3, S12, S12bis, S-20, Mosca MB, MBbis, Anatra Anacle, Anade, Anasal, Lebed 12, 12HS, SPAD A-2, A-4, Ansaldo A-1, A-300-3, A-300-4, SVA-5, 9, 10, LWF tractor.
in the hope that others would step up to the mark and try and finish what I started ...

Tell me about that! It's because of the cockpits that this pack has been stuck for such a long time. I published a WIP of the planes here and at a pair of other forum with a call for help, even offered to send the models to whoever was wanting to go ahead with them....but the breakout came first when Mike decided last summer to open an "Eclipse online course for SAS fellows" and then when Stainless came with his tools, a few months ago. The Il2Modder program makes really the task of making cockpits quite easier - it was a nightmare till then. Then Eclipse enables you to write java methods much more easily and smoothly than the DJ decompiler.
creating and mapping ww1 3D models is not a problem - the problem is the time needed to export them, creating slot and FM - If anyone wants to try his/her hand at it, I'll be glad to send him/her a suitable completed 3D model of mine - you need just to ask (and of course commit yourself to upload the finished mod on a fully free site like this forum).But weeping on spilled milk :('t help us. Let's go ahead and try to have the max of these planes flying in Il2 :).
3D models finished, mapped, with basic template and basic skin:
[follows the list of planes with pics of the models]
The overheating problem that has plagued so many ww1 aircraft in the game has been solved - a couple of suitable code lines in java has enable to solve this problem and reproduce the heating characteristic of the castor Oil of the period (no more oil temperatures rising to 300C! an the like) and to keep overheating happening after over-revving for a reasonable period of time (still a short one, but more that a few milliseconds, as it was in reality).
Blipping is enabled
Blipping consisted in modifying the ignition sequence
In Il2 all this can be done rather straightforward
Any idea how this was done ?
"double de-clutching"How many times have I heard, as a kid, my father repeat how good it was that cars have no longer need for that! He learned to drive, while he was soldiering in ww2, on an obsolete pre-war British (?) truck that had the steering wheel in the middle, and demanded "double de-clutching" - as in was mainly on mountain roads, it was sometimes quite "an experience and an experiment as well".
"an experience and an experiment as well".
if the cylinders would be flooded too long without firing, a prolonged re-igniting would set the whole engine afireo_O
Cool! What aircraft is this? I don't recognize it.And what about the west, they know about Russia?) This plane Moska - Bystritsky . The product of creativity of Italian and Russian aircraft designers
What is a UW map?

Excellent work on the skins my friend, your dedication to this period of flight is amazing, hopefully one day Dreamk will find the time to complete the project
so all your work can be seen in our game. 8)

I am going to upload the Ansaldo A1, the Sikorsky S16 and the Mosca MB in the coming days - I am currently putting the last hand at adapting the MotorRotary mod to 412 and 410 (for some reason I wrote this on the basis of 4.13.1!) and reshaping their FM. The best is indeed to make these available to the community and work on them by solving issue after issue - these 3 ones are rather complete.

Add another Sikorsky S12, it's quite working.
I understand from the fact that screen pictures are taken "in flight" that the problem is with the propRot material not with the propeller itself - can you give me more details? the material is too transparent?
Unsafe is an understatement:))
Readiness of the template for 80%, it remains to add small things and a little dirt.(https://s22.postimg.cc/qfz6cpqhd/16.06.2018_23-21-46.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/image/56bk1va6l/)

Thank you stiv_069 for your work on these superb skins !
I just checked your page over at aviaskins and found your new project......
What is it ?
Cheers
Alfie ;D
Excellent work as always. 8)
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
Excellent work, as always. What plane is it?
Indeed yes. :) Your eyes problems have improved?
Due to the unfortunate condition in the eyes of Stiv_069 this magnificent work has already had many involuntary delays in the completion of the project. If I can make a suggestion, it would be sharing the data referring to the planes and their paintings with other very capable modders present in SAS. Best wishes for your eye health dear Stiv_069.

Hello everyone! The eye problem was partially resolved. In the summer he suffered a microstroke (still a problem with his right hand). I hardly do anything now. But the question to Dreamk is whether he will work further on the project. He needed help, but no one helped.
Всем привет! Проблема с глазами частично разрешилась. Летом перенес микроинсульт(по прежнему проблема с правой рукой). Почти ничего теперь не делаю. Но вопрос к Dreamk, будет ли он работать далее на проектом. Ему нужна была помощь, но никто не помог.
