flightsimg Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hi! By pure derogation (and free of fee one :):) ), and by popular demand, here is a Dewoitine D-520, that French warplane which was at equality with the Me-109s during the Battle of France May-June 1940. They came too late and too few in the French Air Force units By derogation means that only planes published recently on that site are usually taken in account for my WW2 planes collection :) Dewoitine D-520 in action by June 1940, belonging to the GC II/7 -- that plane with: .boxed FSX Gold Edition with the Acceleration Pack .a freeware Dewoitine D-520 .weather with the FSXWX freeware .the freeware shader adjuster rdart78 and textures set -- Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

NMLW Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 It looks like a hybrid cross between a Spitfire and a Mustang Gerard. :cool: :) Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downwind66 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Very sleek and fast looking! Cockpit looks positioned way to the rear which is unique! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightsimg Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi all! My excuses for the timeshift! And thanks for all those comments Hageneezz: I see you're member of the D-520 fan club :) DAVIDSTRAKA: yes! it's the 'French touch' :) Larry: Dewoitine was strictly a French avionist on the other hand. Should be more related to a Spitfire because I think the U.S. Mustang came later somewhat Rick: barely less fast than the Me 109, but it turned faster which was a dogfight advantage. The cockpit far from the nose: maybe to a better aim of firearms :) (also typically French I think) Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

flightsimg Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Yes! Either is was the sign of a French Air Force Groupe de chasse, or it might have been something relating to a 'escadrille Lafayette,' which was, or wasn't a group formed of US volunteers (unluckily doesn't remember for now) edited: Got it! It was the mark to the GC II/5, 3rd escadrille, former escadrille La Fayette. It was a group trained to the Curtiss H75. The escadrille Lafayette originally was a group of US volunteer aviators during WWI. Its insign and tradition were taken back after that, by a French group Edited October 13, 2019 by flightsimg Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

kalizzi Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Beautiful aircraft and a very nice shot, Gérard. Underpublicised. Some very interesting and very original French models out there that do not receive their due share of publicity and coverage. Best wishes.

flightsimg Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Yes. The D.520 is a fine plane. I know it quite well as I had deviced a site about the French Air Force in May-June 1940 in Microsoft CFS. Apart from that, at the time, we had also some fine Navy seaplanes (or even, for example, a dive-attack one, which had seagull-shaped wings, and called the French Stuka), or Air Force generally. Names don't get back now. A long time ago that site. I eventually closed it. I even asked sites like this one, to nullify some freeware missions, textures, etc. I'd made.

jankees Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Very nice! Will this work in P3D? Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightsimg Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Very nice! Will this work in P3D? Unluckily, can't answer that. Don't know whether the creator envisioned that. And the same for a lot of WW2 planes I shot lately. Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.
