The wonderful world of FS-WWI Bombers

ArgonV

I have long been a lover of large bomber aircraft for FS-WWI... And now we can add one more to the planeset! Introducing the AEG G.IV:

Mossie is to credit for the 3d mesh, though I'm not 100% who did the skin. This is in the process of being imported into OpenPlane and FS-WWI, and will be the first late-war German heavy bomber for FS-WWI. Aladar long ago created his first-ever project for FS-WWI, the AEG G.III. However it was too alpha of a build to be upgraded to more recent standards and thus has never been any FS-WWI Plane Pack... Now, years later Germany gets a late-war heavy. Happy

To give you an idea of how far we have come in terms of 3d mesh complexity and skin texture detail, this is the original AEG G.III unedited:

Ok! After a days work I have something workable in game:

Very alpha at the moment, but flyable and put together. Smile

That looks really good Smile

I'm with you, the more WW1 bombers we have the better.

Some cockpit updates. The 3d mesh is by Mossie, I imported and coded.

Wing wires have been added. I've just gotten some info from Mossie in regards to the bomb load so I'm going to start work on that today! And then add a landing light. Happy

I can be one of the three if you need me Smile

It might take me a few days to get to look at it though.
