CFS Macro Bedford MWD. CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle. The Bedford MWD, was a Light Truck built by Bedford Vehicles (subsidiary of Vauxhall Motors, Luton, which is a subsidiary of American General Motors) during the Second World War. The prototype of the Bedford MWD, 15-cwt, 4x2 General Service Truck appeared in 1937 and throughout the War years provided the backbone of the British armys transportation. It was based on a commercial 2-tonnes (2-tons) truck with a modified chassis to increase the ground clearance. The British War Office ordered 2, 000 15-cwt trucks in August 1939, the early deliveries being constructed specifically to carry the 2-pounder anti-tank gun. The MWD had a flat, full length bonnet, designed to incorporate an extra-large air filter as per War Office requiremen

Originally the vehicle was fitted with a canvas hood and doors and collapsible windscreen (which led to the vehicle being universally known as the pneumonia wagon), but this was replaced in 1943 by an enclosed cab with metal doors and a full-width windscreen. The trucks were powered by a 3, 500cc Bedford six-cylinder OHV petrol engine developing 72 hp (53. 7kw) linked to a four forward and one reverse gearbox. Bedford produced over 200, 000 Bedford 15-cwt trucks during the war, used mainly by British, American and Russian forces. Simple to maintain and robust, it was used by every arm of the service as a general cargo and personnel carrier (including wide usage in the North Africa campaign as the standard transport for the motorised infantry in the armoured brigades), and the type remained in service with the British army until the late 1950s. It was also the vehicle on which thousands of military drivers would learn to drive. This truck was also operated by the axis forces, as the Bedford MWD captured on Dunkirk (Wehrmacht), Libia (Regio Esercito Italiano) and Singapore (Imperial Japanese Army). Engine.

Some textures are based on pictures availables on WWII Drawings site, mastered by Vincent Bourgui on, Rochefort (Belgium) and www. o5m6. de, Engines of the Red Army site. This macro was tested only in CFS1 sceneries, but I believe that can work without problems in CFS2-3 and FS2000-2002. All mine API macros, could be included on objects libraries with crash detection (for CFS missions), but must be distributed with the original API-MACRO copyright.
