8./JG-2 Richtoffen"Black 13"
WkNr 2181Corrected size CFS Luftwaffe fighters
Microsoft never corrected the bug that happens in Quick combat when using imported aircraft and in Multiplayer games, even when using CFS default planes: the aircraft appears undersized, making the dogfight almost impossible because one can see only a point in place of the opponent's aircraft. The imported AI planes or the live adversary planes seems to move to fast and it is difficult to aim correctly and impossible to anticipate on your enemy's moves because you can't see him.
But thank to Richard Potvin, it is now possible to correct this situation: he created two utilities to cure the problem, setscale.exe and setdp.exe
Setscale exist either as a DOS application where one have to type command lines, or as a windows application (setscalew.exe) where you only have to clic on buttons. It is very easy to use. This utility allow you to modify the scale of the aircraft's *.mdl in order to scale them up at the right size. The default options are usually enough to take care of the problem.
Setdp.exe is a DOS application, working almost the same way as setscale (same triggers in the command lines). It allows to scale up the damage boxes (*.dp files) so they match the scaled up *.mdl.

You can download some news Luftwaffe fighters from this page. All the models have been corrected to display the correct visual sizes and the correct damage box sizes either in Multiplayer mode and in Quick Combat games.
All the planes are using the default CFS *.air file, which means they'll fly like the default planes, but the *.mdl files have been replaced by ones made in aircraft factory 99, and will therefore look different.
