Personally, I agree with EURO_AMShades. With the amount of freeware files available for CFS1 nobody is likely to want to pay for them, no matter how good they might be.

Too bad......you'll be missing out on some good stuff.

Not me personally as I haven't used CFS1 for some years, although I still support it & the Freeware addons I created for it. I was speaking in general terms & I very much doubt that many people still using CFS1 would consider paying for addons unless they're of the the highest quality & better than the available Freeware alternatives. They certainly wouldn't pay for them without even seeing a screenshot of what they're getting.

Hi,
Well the site is going to be: http://combatfighters.bravehost.com/ and will be operational in the new year. As for the donation question, it is not a money making adventure, that idea died. I just fihure that we might get enough to fund a website where we can add more things like various new skins, calendars, various tit bits and so forth. If nobody wants to dontate, well I will still keep the site going, but wont add any new planes. Sad

These aircraft are pretty good, well, some say, so you should just download one and take it for a drive. Undecided

Anyway, see what happens next year. ???

Thanks

Die Staffel

I spoke with DieStaffel in RidgeRunners yesterday where he said that giving all his CFS1 aircraft to Simviation is something he is seriously considering now.
This would be very decent of him, allowing FREE access to his CFS1 add-on aircraft for anyone who requires it.

Hi All,
I tried to get a Bravenet site, but they wont allow zip files on their free hosting. I am in the process of negotiating with another person about hosting a site for me. Mid you, if Simviation would make a page for me I would like to have it host them. I tried uploading the BF109K on Saturday, but it is still not up. I dont know why not. I am currently making final changes to the planes and testing them. I have a P47D, Bf109K(tall tail), a Bf109G6 (Kannonbooten and droptank) and am presently doing Don Gentile's P51B

I hope someone will still be interested in flying them.

Thanks

Mike,

Good to hear your working on CFS1 aircraft again......and "YES", I for one am still interested in flying them.

Infact, I hope the whole new site thing works out and leads to more aircraft, more missions, a forums page and pilot's lounge. Here's to good things in the News Year! Good luck in finding a host Mike and keep us informed on your progress.

Greetings, lets see if I can upload these pics.

Now these are CFS1 planes, not CFS2. For the technically gifted in AF99, we used approximately 790 parts of the available 800. Please note that the FW190A8/R1 is modified from Bernd Drefel's Fw190 to which he supplied us with the original AFX file with many thanks.
The FW190A8/R1 is an A8 version of the Fw190 with two underwing upgrade packs of twin 20mm MG151 cannons with 135rpg. However, like most A8/R field conversion units, the outer MG151 cannons were removed to save weight.

They are all ready to be uploaded as soon as I find a place to host them.
Angry

Thanks

DieStaffel

How does the FW-190A8/R1 handle with the extra cannon packs? One would think she would lose some maneuverability with them slung under each wing....but think of the firepower! Either way, I want one!
