CFS Macro URSS Tractors API MACRO (UPGRADE) CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle. Upgrade of Komintern and Voroshilovez, russian tractors, now with transparent textures on tracks sides. This file replace my previous URSS Tractors api macro. On their search for a new heavy artillery tractor in the early 1930s, the technical officials of the Red Army combined the suspension of an already established tank with a truck cabin. The KhPZs Komintern artillery tractor was based on the suspension of the T-12 tank (50 built from 1930) and later the T-24 (2, 000 built from 1935 to 1941), powered by a 131-hp 4-cyl. diesel engine, the new tractor achieved a sufficient top speed of 30 km h, had a range of 220 km and could tow even the 18 ton B-4 howitzer. Despite the dismal fate of its predecessor tanks,

In 1940, the technical officials of the Red Army decided to develop a successor for the aged heavy artillery tractor Komintern. The new vehicle should be faster than the Komintern and still equally capable of towing even the heaviest artillery pieces and tanks. The result was a 15. 5 tons monster, 6. 22 m in length, 2. 35 m in width and 2. 74 m in height, with a crew of 3 men and 16 additonal passengers. Driven by a huge 350 hp engine the Voroshilovez could reach 36 km h on roads and traverse 270 km on its own fuel. Thus being a truly fast prime mover, it wasnt still fast enough to entirely escape the advancing German troops in 1941. About 230 were built at KhPZ from 1939, and after the German invasion of 1941 production was shifted to the Stalingrad Tractor Factory until August 1942. All information to develop the api macros and the textures, was taken from the site www. o5m6. de, Engines of the Wehrmacht, with the webmasters permission. I have created this api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2. 2. 85 (Matthias Br ckner), to generate the statics Komintern and Voroshilovez tractors, with use of BMP transparent textures, oriented to CFS scenery designers and that they work with Airport 2. 0 or later. 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.
