CFS Macro Ford V3000. CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle. The Ford V-3000 was the german version, 1941-dated, of american Ford 3-Ton truck. During WWII, the German Wehrmacht used these trucks in abundance, as they represented nearly 17% of the German trucks produced during the war, second only to the Opel Blitz in terms of numbers. The German designation was the V-3000, and the American-produced versions are nearly identical to the German-made ones. The earliest presence of the Ford Motor Company in Germany was a parts operation set up in Hamburg in 1912. It was not until 1925 that an assembly plant was constructed in Berlin where Model T trucks were made from imported parts. Cars followed in 1926. In 1931 production moved to a new plant in Cologne on a site made available by the mayor o

The first car off the new production line was the Model A joined in 1932 by the Model B. Small car manufacture started in 1933 with the Ford K ln, and the company was re-organised in 1939 and changed its name to Ford-Werke. With the outbreak of war, car production continued at first with the Taunus being made until 1942 but increasingly military production took over, building trucks and armed personnel carriers for the German armed forces. Most notably was the V3000 V-8 truck series, produced in wheeled and tracked (Maultier) versions. Powered by V-8 3. 9L motors producing roughly 90HP, they can easily transport between 12 and 16 soldiers as well as act as prime movers for some of our artillery pieces. This truck was produced also with a standardized wooden cab, officially called Einheits-Fahrerhaus. In spite of the heavy bombing of Cologne, the factory got off relatively lightly and after the war production was able to restart in May 1945 with truck manufacture, the US government having paid $1. 1 million in consideration of bombing damage. Car making restarted in late 1948 with the Taunus. General Motors would later follow Fords lead in the 1970s by integrating its Opel and Vauxhall subsidiaries into GM Europe. I have created a api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2. 0. 47 (Matthias Br ckner), to generate a static Ford V3000, used by Wehrmacht on WWII. 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.
