This is a mod, making V-1 available as regular non-flyable AC in the game.
FM & DM tweaks was done in attempt to make it technicaly correct, some effects added, like rotating odometer fan and engine exhaust.
3D model is still original game 3D model.

As V-1 is unmanned, it cannot launch itself, so U have to designate strike point with no specific target for carrier aircraft.
No sense to set strike point for V-1. V-1 executes 45-degree dive upon reaching its final waypoint, whatever it designated as strike point or not. I'm not recommend to set a specific target for V-1, as it will running circles around, trying to hit. If target will be dectroyed prior V-1 arrival, it will just running circles around, or will try to RTB with disastrous consequences :mrgreen:
V-4 behaves itself as regular piloted AC, so U have to set its final waypoint as strike point to make craft to commit kamikaze attack.
Pair of sample missions, demonstrating air launch and Fi-103 kamikaze attack, can be found in Single Missions > Germany > V-1 and V-4.
(don't judge too harsh, it's my first two FMB missions)

Features:
- craft will detonate on any contact with ground or water, so possible mission start options is follows:
air start, air start with carrier (He-111H-2 for ex.), ground runway start with the carrier;
- steep dives causes craft engine to stall (simulates early version of V-1);
- speed rises with fuel exhausting.
Limitations:
- craft has no trottle control (only engine starting & shutting is possible);
- craft has limited roll control to simulate gyro override in overturn (historical prototype was not having roll control at all,
but I was forced to implement it, since the AI proved not to be able to maintain course to waypoint without some roll control);
- due to limitations listed above, formation flying is difficult, so I recommend to send V-1's on mission as separate flights, however, formation flying is possible
Also, as a placeholder, there is Fi-103 piloted modification, simulating R-IV version. 3D model still the same yet (just nose fan removed) but now it have interior cockpit. FM slightlly differs from V-1 through larger tailplane & rudder, and having full roll control. Formation flying possible, but difficult.

To install Fi-103 V-1 mod unpack the RAR file to your IL-2 directory, then add this lines:
Fi-103_V1 air.FI_103_V1 2 NOINFO g01 SUMMER
Fi-103R-IV air.FI_103RIV 2 NOINFO g01 SUMMER
to your air.ini file, located, probably in \MODS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects folder inside your IL-2 directory
((!) Don't forget to delete these lines, if you decide to remove the mod).
and this lines (optional):
Fi-103_V1 Fiesler Fi-103 V-1, 1942
Fi-103R-IV Fiesler Fi-103 R-IV V-4, 1944
to your plane_ru.properties file, located, probably in \files\i18n\ folder inside your IL-2 directory.
Have a fun, but don't get too close !
