CFS Macro ZIS 5 FIX File. CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle. Fix file with my four api macros of Zis 5 truck, now using the default scale 1. 0, which is adjusted automatically by 0. 034 factor to obtain the accurate scale in CFS1. The new six files with API extension, replace the old same files. (For scenery design in CFS2 or FS2000, you can use scale between 0. 9 to 1. 1, but with 1. 0 is OK to CFS1). The ZIS-5 was a 4x2 Soviet truck produced by Moscow ZIS (ZiS standing for Zavod Imieni Stalin) factory from October 1933. It was an almost identical copy of the American Autocar Model CA truck. The ZIS-5 showed remarkable service on the Road of Life, the only supply line to the besieged city of Leningrad, opened on the frozen surface of the Ladoga Lake in the winter months during 1941 194

During the war the ZIS-5 was used on all fronts, where it was greatly appreciated for its remarkably simple and reliable construction. Apart for cargo duties, the ZIS-5 was used as a light artillery tractor and for troops transportation (25 soldiers could seat in five benches placed in the rear body). ZIS-5 served also as base for many special trucks, like refuellers, field workshops, ambulances, portee guns or AA platforms. Serial production of the new truck started on October 1, 1933. The truck was an instant success and, which together with GAZ AA, became the main Soviet truck of 1930-50s. It also evolved into the workhorse of the Soviet armed forces. at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa the Red Army could line up 104, 200 of those trucks. At the end of 1941 war shortages of raw materials forced to change the construction of ZIS-5. All changes were focused on simplify construction. the round, stamped wings were replaced with flat, bended ones, cabs and foot boards were now made from wood, brakes were removed from front wheels, rear body had the tailgate swinging only. Sometimes also the right headlight was removed, while bumpers disappeared forever. The simplified model, designated ZIS-5V, was produced since May 1942 in Ulyanovsk, and later also in Moscow and Miass. Overall production scored about 1 million units (all plants), with ZIS alone producing 532, 311 samples. During the War years were produced about 83. 000 of ZIS-5 of both versions. Facing the German invasion, in the autumn of 1941 the production line at Moscow plant was stopped and ZIS was moved to Ulianovsk (on the Volga river) and to Miass (in the Chelyabinsk region of the Urals). In the meantime Moscow ZIS plant had restarted production of these trucks in April 1942, and continued until 1948, when the new ZIS-50 (ZIS-5 with new engine) appeared. Tech.

Fuel consumption. 34. 0 L 100 km I have created this api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2. 2. 85 (Matthias Br ckner), to generate four macros of the ZIS 5 with and without canvas, 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.
