Thanks UT. Off to follow that up.
...These look like nice additions. Options for repainting and alternative markings.
Yes indeed. Peter has kindly consented to helping me with the needed balloons for the Rickenbacker Campaign development as well as allowing me to use his WWI aircraft previously posted at Simviation. More later.
Cheers,
Captain Kurt

Any room for basket occupants in the DPs?
It's possible via dp payload I'd think

Or for German aircraft the last 6 months of the war.

Would be great to have these for my WWI FS2004 install. Is it possible?

Possibly, if made with fsds2 (or higher) or gmax.
Remove the .dp, .CDP , and .DBK files, these are damage and weapons files that will cause fs2004 to crash to desktop...then add the UI section into the aircraft.cfg and give it a try.
Most CFS2 models ( but not all) will happily run in Fs2004,
just a matter of trial and error.

OK, will do .
Thanks. No mdl changes?

No. If made with fsds2 /3 or gmax, will drop right in to fs2004 usually without any changes to model format.
The reason for a fs2004 to cfs conversion is to make it able to receive and display damage from weapons and the like which fs2004 doesn't do.
Ps... you have asked this before...

I know this is for a Rickenbacker Campaign, but balloons were Frank Luke's (second leading American ace) target of choice.
True. Rickenbacker talks about Luke in his autobiography. Rickenbacker himself destroyed three and credits Luke as his inspiration to first go after them.

Hi All,
If you want to have a balloon at height in a mission change the static_cg_height entry in the aircraft config. file from 45.00 to the height you would like. Such as static_cg_height=1500.00 then place in the mission as infrastructure.
Hope this helps,

Thanks, but I just want to be able to fly it in FS2004, no missions. I have a Vintage install, with WWI stuff in it, so this will be ideal.

If the balloon shows up in FS2004, try substituting the air file and flight dynamics in the cfg file with those from a FS2004 airship.
Thanks, I'll be doing that on the weekend.

FYI, there is also another version of the WWI Parseval observation balloon (in German, British, and French markings) done by Gary Aumauger. They have the advantage of already having a panel.
