In 1930 the French air ministry issued a requirement for replacing the Nieuport Ni-D.62 with Dewoitine 
designing a cantilever low-wing monoplane of all metal construction. Resulting in the production of 101 
D.500C.1, 157 D.501C.1 and finally 120 D.510C.1 aircraft for French service as well as export sales such
as China which was the only theatre it saw action with. 60 D.510 fighters together with a small number 
of D.500s and D.501s equipped Escadrilles Regionale de Chasse in the early months of WWII but had been
relegated to tuitional tasks or redeployed to North Africa.

The Dewoitine shape was derived out of Jan Tuma's HiRes Hawker Fury and all pcx files were re-created from 
the original author whereas only minor adjustments were applied wherever possible or necessary in order to 
help expedite minor simulations of the Dewoitine appearance. Feel free to update or correct any pcx or 3dz 
file as this is a only a beta release until further details such as the pilot fiqure may be re-addressed at 
another time.

Flight model was initially extracted from ECAPanel v4.4 Hawker Fury slot. Except correcting for approx. speed at 
best altitude and some inherit glitches were fixed for relocating proper engine smoke, AI self sustained return 
landings (which the Fury Fm seemed to prohibit) muzzle velocity and RoF for French armaments (Darne/Mac 1935 7.5mm 
mguns and the Oerlikon HS type S9 cannon) have been applied.
