Title: Phonix D.I Fighter in own slot. [dbw1916] [dbw 1.71] [4.12]
Post by: Mission_bug on September 19, 2015, 11:43:52 AM
Hello guys here is my re-working of Phonix D.I, one more of Gio's masterpieces is finally finished. ;)

Mediafire link:

Skins and template by Stalker:

https://yadi.sk/d/OnI1Juv_jG3rs


3D model by: gio963tto.

Slot:  Mission_bug, using U-2 dumped classes with 3Dparts from the original model for the cockpit.

FM: Mission_bug using renamed and altered fmd and emd from my re-worked RE8.

Default skin: Stalker

Cockpit texture: vpmedia.

Reducing un-necessary files in aircraft folder: vpmedia.



Currently flying in my DBW 1916, DBW 1.71 and TD 4.12 with SAS Modact 5.30.


Place folder 'AIRCRAFT_PHONIX_DI' in your mod folder and add the following:


Add to Air.ini

   Phonix_DI            air.Phonix_DI 2   NOINFO  g01  SUMMER

Add to Plane_ru.properties

   Phonix_DI         Phönix D.I, 1917


Notes:

Control stick and rudder are operable.

No instruments.

FM on auto aircraft slow to start take off but gets in the air and can reach top speed of 180/90 km/h once at height.

Pilot view has been set so you can see the bullet stream if you look straight ahead through to the front of the engine, difficult but as near as I could get.

If you change the aircraft skin you also need to add the skin1o.tga for it into the cockpit folder so you get a uniform scheme overall.

It has been reported in testing that the aircraft is difficult to bring down and does not burn.

If you wish to have a Self Stationary add the folder 'PS_Phonix_DI_SSP' to your mod folder and add the necessary text:


[Self_StationaryPlanes]

Phonix_DI              vehicles.planes.Phonix_DIStatic$Phonix_DI    2

I put it in 5.30 4.12.2 and it does not show but is listed in plane field or sleection. Do we need the original file in the aircraft folder also?

Glad you guys are happy with the re-work. 8)


Hello dsawan, the aircraft has been tested in my own 4.12 with ModAct 5.30 without any issues, here it is this morning:

(http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm42/Mission_bug/Album%202/Phonix%20ModAct%20530_zpshmfrhk4z.jpg) (http://s293.photobucket.com/user/Mission_bug/media/Album%202/Phonix%20ModAct%20530_zpshmfrhk4z.jpg.html)


The mod has been made so that it does not rely on any other aircraft so you add the folder as instructed. ;)


The only add on you should need with any of my WWI re-works is the WWI weapons packs from Dreamk in the thread above this mod:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,33456.0.html


This aircraft uses a Spandau in the java if memory serves me which may actually belong to that pack.


Failing that when the file was zipped they usually create two folders with the same name, please just check that you only have one
that when opened has the classes inside.

If all else fails please post a copy of your log and we will have a look and see if there is something in there.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

I really love this ugly duckling! Once again thanks both to Gio and Pete! I have started working on a campaign for it, set on the Piave during the summer of 1918.

Please, may I humbly ask for a 4.101 /SAS ModAct 3.06 compatible (non DBW1916) version?

Thank you in advance...
