    I see you have been bitten by the biplane bug.

    Looking very good Kurt!

    There doesn't seem to be much interest in the Halberstadt. So, I'll take my time finishing it but I'm not sure there will be any more. They are a lot of work to do.

    Yeah I do have a thing for biplanes, I'll admit. This is the Maid Marian, the plane I built from blueprints and flew some 25 to 30 years ago while I was still an active pilot. Fully aerobatic and capable of a lot more performance than I was. Her wings are now in an aerospace museum in Texas.

    Hi Kurt,

    I just saw it and I'm certainly interested. You've done a great job with the crew.

    No wonder you like biplanes - Maid Marian is a beauty!

    By the way, I'm enjoying the Rickenbacker missions in between doing other CFS2 projects.

    For the few interested, here is the progress so far. Kdriver and Martin Klein are helping me convert the hand held weapons into weapons which can be attached by .dp. These are the flares, potato masher hand grenades, small grenatenwerfer bombs, and their racks. I still have to do the panels and air files.

    I'm not a big fan of WWII in CFS2 but follow your work.

    Today you mostly hear from the CFS2 Old Timers.Seems the newbies don't know how to types unless the want something or have a problem with something,most times you don't even get a thank you when you give them help.They just think they are entitled to every ones hard work.

    They will wonder when people stop putting the hard work to make this sim better,why builders stopped.

    If it weren't for You,UncleTgt,Stuart and others this Sim would have died along time ago.My Thanks to you all.

    Rant Over.

    No! There's a lot of interest in one of the most important WW1 aircraft...

    Halberstadt Cl.IV


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

    Description: Halberstadt Cl.IV

    The Halberstadt Cl.IV was a further development of the successful Haberstadt Cl.II two seat fighter and infantry support aircraft. Arriving at the front in late June, 1918, too late to have a major impact on the closing stages of the war but it was still arguably the best ground attack aircraft of WWI. Those Schlashta units that received them were very satisfied with them. They were employed in the ground attack role trench strafing, attacking artillery positions and rear areas. The crews often carried extra machine gun drums, hand grenades and small bombs to increase their effectiveness. Some 1200 were ordered and approximately 900 delivered before the end of the war.


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The model, textures. panel and air files are by Captain Kurt. The pilot figures were developed from Wolfi's freeware Japanese pilot .fsc source file. The prop spinning texture is by Kelticheart.


    The Hand Weapons models and textures are by Captain Kurt. Kdriver and Martin Klein did the conversions to exploding weapon.


    Gauges are by Martin Klein (with a couple of texture change outs by Captain Kurt), Bastian Hundt, and Horst Weingärtner.
