[MOD] Fi-103 V-1 and He-111H-2 carrier
#1

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.

Link to download: http://www.filefront.com/17748911/Fi-103_110104.rar

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 !

Cooool! Easier to setup V-1 missions like this.... And love the air-launching possibilities. Thank you very much!

EDIT: At start of missions with V1 my game crashes to desktop, few seconds after loading it. Any ideas about possible causes?

THANKS Great mod


Fieseler Fi 103R (Reichenberg) was to be used by the KG 200 suicide squadron

Can U tell some more specific ? QMB or FMB ? U tries it as player aircraft ? May be something with weapons loadout ? (the only weapon loadout for this craft is warhead)
Anybody else experiencing some troubles with the mod ?

Install: UP + lots of mods.... Setting: QMB -any map-, a spitXVI or P51 stock (player) against a V1 with warhead loadout. Few seconds after mission start, it freezes and CTD. I just ran a search for classfiles duplicates but nothing on that side. It will take me some time to figure this out... I'll inform as soon as I find the cause.

I know that Slow had a frankenplane version of it made, but he never released it... and I doubt he will.

4.08m or 4.09m ? A have a 4.09m. Trying the mod on different PC's, Intels and AMDs, hardware accelerated and not, without any issues.
Hardly U will found classfile duplicates this, because this is a new one. Can U try MXY-7 instead of V-1 ? They are alike, so may be we will found something.
Still have no idea ... May be a way I use to produce engine sound... Mod based on BI-1 FM, may be the root of the issue is here...

OK, I am officially an idiot. Just noticed I made a classic newbie mistake :oops: . I had installed a sound mod last night but didn't test it before going to bed. Now I install your mod and get trouble when testing... the trouble was the classfiles of the soundmod which I didn't test before, of course.

NOTHING wrong with this baby, as expected. So, dear Twister, sorry for my stupidity :wink: all works fine.

Just had lots of fun with a V1 QMB mission and a mosquito. BLAAAAMMMM :twisted:

EDIT: it's a good moment to make publicity for this one http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/...sc&start=0

WOW If this was flyable then it might of been the best mod out since Il-2 came out!

Do you think it could become flyable as part as KG 200 suicide squadron?

Thanks Planemad

Sh%t happens. It's a relief, I feared the worst.

All I can do right now, is to add some interior cockpit to this ... craft (just to FM evaluation). But it will be a nonsense, since exterior will be same, without cockpit. And believe me, it flies BAD.
Hardly anyone will enjoy piloting this thing :wink:

No! I really enjoyed nooking the Big-Ben!!! This thing flys bad but gives a good feeling. I tested it with this online-play-hack

Very original and welcome addition!

However, if only i could get it to run... Sad

I can't see it in the plane list. I added to the air.ini, plane.ru and paintschemes.

Could you help me out with it? Thanks.
