Feldflugplatz Saint-Inglevert Luftwaffe WWII

[klnowak]

The next one : Feldflugplatz Saint-Inglevert near Calais. Home of the Jagdgeschwader 51 with his comanding officer Werner Mölders. One of the bases that had been active during the Battle of Britain in 1940.

The prerequisite for the correct representation of the place in the FSX will be the addon FRANCEVFR - NORD PAS DE CALAIS FSX V2.

Some pictures (place is nearly redy for upload)

Looks good Klaus. But I would like to make a few (minor) remarks. On the parked Bf109E is see the well known Eagle head painted, as unit marking for JG51. However this marking was not introduced before April 1941. Before that mainly the markings from the smaller units like "Gruppen". Like I./JG51 used the " Kitzbuheler Gams", II.JG51 used the "Gott strafe England!"(God punish England!) emblem at the rear of the fuselage, etcetera.

When JG51 was still located at St.Inglevert in 1940 the Germans were still fighting an offensive war. Which it is not logical that there are already concrete bunkers to defend the artillery. In the area where I live (coastal) artillery was not placed inside concrete bunkers before 1943. until that moment they were place in open pits.

The artillery bunkers seen in the third screenshot of the second post seem to be quite close to each other. This would make the an easy target. Normally there is a distance between 50 to 70 meters between this type of bunkers. And again I don't think this type of bunkers was already quite common in 1940.

Cheers,
Huub

.... bad mistake from my side and thanks for your remark. Will change that in liverys. Got the wrong timeline...

Absolutly wright. But i got a little problem with FranceVFR. The bunkers are part of their .bgl and i can`t delete them. They just use a very simple form of bunkers. So i placed a better version of bunkers just over their bunkers to get a better look. In 1940 these bunkers where not in place.

In St.Inglevert you still can see the buildings today. The distance between the bunkers is about 27m. (as google earth say) In ADE i use this distance too. A little more then 25m between the right angles that represent the bunkers.

Nice work! Cant wait for my He-111 !

Your HE-111 will need booster to start and you must not land with gear down and normal brakes....

Rollstrecke beim Start:	Beton: 825 m Gras: 880 m
Startstrecke bis 15 m Höhe:	Beton: 1.120 m Gras: 1.300 m
Landestrecke aus 15 m Höhe:	Beton: 1.080 m Gras: 1.000 m

...... runway is about 650 m long. No chance ....

(but i will get a look and try this...lol)

Hi Klaus,

The unit marking from II./JG51 was normally painted at the rear of the fuselage, when II./JG51 flew the Emil. You can find more information here

Sorry....

BTW which Bf109 are you using as static/AI model?

But I do like the VTOL version of the He111 . And the scenery looks really stunning

Landing a Bf109 will already be challenging for me on such a short strip......

Cheers,
Huub

Sorry....

Thanks for that remark. I`m not specialist for those markings.... so every remark will help. Thanks. I`ve found some pictures and there the markings are at different places..... but.... just didn`t look what kind of version BF-109 it was

So i will change that to the rear of the BF-109.

Static models are from inside the SOH Library.

All models for ai traffic come from this side : https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=BF109&x=16&y=12

There you can use word : "BF109" for a search. I use all different models for fsx that will been shown up. Delete the entrys for panel and sound of these models and changed liverys.
