Bismarck13's Dewoitine D.551 update released!

**peperez** · January 5th, 2020, 02:03

This is one of my favorites planes. I revised the airfile and prepared eight new skins for it using real Dewoitine D.520 planes as a basis. I also prepared the original prototype livery, the only real skin in the package.

Great job!

Are these compatible with Dickens' D520, which is a modification of his D551 model?

I use Mermaz plane. I just download the Dickens plane to see it will work.

The texture mapping is different. I'll work the textures to fit in the d.520.

Nice work. Thanks Pepe!

The problem is in the model. The CTD remains even after I applied Uncle TGT patch.

Pepe... when does it ctd???

I've decompiled it to scasm code and edit the lightstate and crash issues.... also redid the lods so it changes smoother.... hopefully.
It is fixed now.

If you send us your email.... i'll send you the clearly named revised mdl.

Cheers mav

Ok... did the same to this..

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

Description: The package includes eight planes, one real, the prototype, and seven inspired by real Dewoitine D.520 aircraft. The airfile, aircraft cfg and panel were revised. Dive and landing performance were enhanced.

The Dewoitine D.551 was to be a marvellous machine able to get 662 KPH with a 1050 HP Hispano Suiza 12Y51 engine. Three prototypes were built and were destroyed under German supervision. Williams Dickens know my admiration for the plane and built this model as a surprise to me. I used Jean Cuny's book L'avions Dewoitine to built the airfiles according the real object. In the real world, Replic Air, a French society, is trying to built a fourth aircraft following the original plans. You can see more at http://replicair.fr/en/aircraft/dewoitine-d551/.

Nice flights.

Pepe
