So, can anybody tell me about some errors in this?
Thanks in advance.

R66C its difficult to trouble shoot with just snippets of code. But since you ask.
I will add comments to your snip that might help you understand it better

There isn't enough here to tell if the code is sane, But it is unusual to see parts vis before Gen model! I do not think parts vis should be used in ship models.

All the info you need can be gleaned from Caleb Flerks site
and if that isn't enough the SCASM docs are here
Book mark these pages!
Try deconstructing a stock ship model and study that.

Thanks Simonu for that info on SCASM it is nice to see the Akron aloft again.

Here is the complete original L44 set of files from the creator...remember we have found some fixes here in this thread so update as you see fit....

due to the way that this forum site creates url's be sure to copy and past the ENTIRE address of the link if you are saving the address..it WILL work as a hot link but for some reason..it refuses to add the final dash and Full.ZIP for some reason to the text here

Cris, Aerocrates has several nice observation balloons that can be used as Brit, French, and German.

ah ha, that is where they are lurking, i had fogotten but i was sure there were some ..thanks to the Lads at Aerocrats for those....now we can go balloon hunting.....thanks a lot for that.

Three versions of the Parseval observation baloons, German, British and French markings. One of the most common baloon types on the Western Front. Using these in missions is tricky so make sure and read the instructions. Last updated 2/8/2007. Size 2.9M

Anyone do any more testing or improvements to the Zepplin? Any Zep Sheds in the making?

Yes,heavily tricky.Failure to follow directions to the letter will result in balloon crashes right after they are spawned.:cost1: Blondi

If you have the sheds you can make the Tondern Raid. Get a Camel and add a hook to its .cfg and grab HMS Furious18 from cgshipyard....http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2shipyard.htm

Its been around for a couple of years now and is quite usable.
