Wings Over Flanders Fields by OBD Software

Bonjour, bravez les aviateurs! French High Command has ordered Escadrille SOP.5 to fly their Strutters deep into enemy territory and bomb a German zeppelin base located in the northern Alps. You will leave shortly before sunrise and use the pre-dawn darkness to cross the front. Get as much altitude as you can, and don't forget to lean your mixture to conserve fuel. Due to the strong seasonal winds blowing towards the east and the length of your flight, you will not be able to return to your home aerodrome but instead will fly south from the target, up over the mountains, and land at an airfield in Italy. It is advised that you keep your altitude and bomb from 2,500 meters, the height of the mountains along the valley and the enemy's defenses could prove to trap you otherwise. Be aware that you may encounter German 2-seaters along the way, as the target base is also used to launch air strikes into northern Italy. Do your best, the eyes of France are upon you.

Fokker Dr1 213/17 of Ltn d R Fritz Kempf
Kempf was a Kette leader, his Dr1 displayed Kempf's name in bold
white letters on the top wing and his KENNSCHT MI NOCH? (Remember me still?)
is in the "alemannisch" dialect of his native Freiburg.

INSTALLATION: IMPORTANT! INSTALLATION OF THIS MOD IS SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT FROM MY OTHER MODS! First, download the mod to your
desktop or other preferred location. Then, open the zip file and
open the HPWSpads file folder. Select ALL FIVE Spad folders and
copy to your OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\MODS folder.
DO NOT install the mod unless JSGME has already been installed into
your CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields game folder. The mod is correctly
installed if you see this readme.txt and the following folders
inside the MODS folder: SpadVII_150, SpadVII_180, Spad13_200,
Spad13_220, and Spad13_235. To load your desired aircraft, simply
run JSGME, highlight the appropriate folder, click on the top
button, and then start your game. That's it!
 
NOTE: In order to see the aircraft skins of any Spad aces while
using this mod, please see the first post of Panama Red's thread
titled "Guaranteed Method to See Ace Skins Using HPW's FM" at the
Over Flanders Fields Forum at combatace.com for instructions on the
easy work-around.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Initial release 1.0
 
Thank you for downloading HPW's Spads FM Pack 1.0, a revised flight
model for FIVE different Spad series aircraft for use in Hat in the
Ring, the official extension to Between Heaven and Hell, the WWI
flight sim modification of CFS3 by OBD Software. This revised
interpretation of the Spad VII and Spad XIII flight models was made
to represent the different engines used by each aircraft and to
better reflect the evolution in performance of each aircraft during
the course of the war. See the following chart for a summary of
some of these differences. (Maximize window if chart is difficult
to read).
 
Aircraft Speed @ 3,000 m Speed @ 2,000 m Speed @ 1,000 m Speed @ 500 ft. Ceiling
Spad VII 150 114.00 mph 118.25 mph 122.00 mph 119.00 mph. 16,500 ft.
Spad VII 180 125.25 128.25 132.00 130.25 20,000
Spad XIII 200 129.25 133.25 129.75 124.75 18,500
Spad XIII 220 133.25 136.50 130.50 125.00 20,500
Spad XIII 235 137.50 139.50 134.00 128.75 21,250
 
The most noticeable changes using these mods are reflected in the
speeds of the early and late models of each aircraft. Compared to
the Spad models in the stock game, the Spad VII 150 version is
generally slower at all altitudes, while the Spad VII 180 is
slightly faster. The same applies to the Spad XIII 200, 220, and
235 HP versions, with the 235 HP version being about 2 mph faster
than the standard OFF version. The maximum ceiling is also
different depending on the engine used in each aircraft. Dive
speeds were also adjusted in order to better correspond with the
historical record. Finally, rudder responsiveness was reduced
somewhat to reflect the small surface area of the rudders on the
Spad series, as compared to the other aircraft in the game.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
As an *approximate* guide to when each aircraft and engine upgrade
entered service, please see the following chart:
 
Aircraft Entered Service
Spad VII 150 February 1917
Spad VII 180 June 1917*
Spad XIII 200 January 1918
Spad XIII 220 April 1918*
Spad XIII 235 August 1918*
 
In order to simulate when a particular squad might have recieved
their engine updgrade, I recommend that on the first of each month
marked with an asterik, the player should roll a six-sided die. If
you roll a number equal to or higher than the following guide,
your squad gets the upgrade and you can install the newer engine.
If not, at the beginning of each following week, roll the die
again until you obtain the upgrade. (If you wish, you may add +1
to each roll if you are in an elite squad).
 
Week Roll
One 6
Two 5,6
Three 4,5,6
Four+ 3,4,5,6
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to OBD
Software for their help in the making of this revised version of
the flight model. As always, with the exception of the tweaks
contained herein, all work on the original flight model remains
the sole work and property of OBD software. I would also like to
thank Panama Red for the inspiration, development, and testing of
this mod. Finally, if you have any questions or experience any
problems with the installation of this mod, please contact me on
the Over Flanders Fields forum at www.combatace.com. Thank you
and I hope you enjoy the new FM's!

Over Flanders Fields Essential Multiplayer Files Autoinstaller
June 3rd, 2009
Installer coded by Madmatt
 
PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT FULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING!!!
 
Welcome, this simple little autoinstaller was designed to help ease some of the hassle some people have encountered in trying to get all the files they need to join some of the exciting Multiplayer games being hosted every week by members of the "Doves and Hawks" online squadron.
 
This program will install 3 separate sets of files that will allow you to also use the L30 Zeppelin, German Gotha Bomber and see the nice searchlights that are required to play some of the new MP missions that have been created recently.
 
JUST ADDED! This program now installs 23 new multiplayer compatible missions for your flying pleasure!
 
This program can be uninstalled at any time and will not affect your normal Single Player experience in OFF. It does NOT change any stock OFF files, it merely adds some new ones which are needed in some MP missions.
 
Since the "Doves and Hawks" members all play with the Optional Hardcore Damage Model v1.30 released by OBD Software, I have included the option to have this installer connect your web browser to that file. It will NOT install it for you, it merely links to the file online.
 
Please Note: This installer program will scan your aircraft folder and if it detects any older Gotha or Zeppelin files, it will delete them before it copies in the new ones. This is done to ensure everyone is using the SAME version of these files wherever possible. Be aware of this if you have custom Gotha or Zeppelin skins for instance because this installer will delete them. I recommend you back up those folders/files if you do have any custom Gotha or Zeppelin skins you don't want to lose.
 
How To Uninstall:
 
You can uninstall these new files one of two ways. You can use the standard Windows "Add or Remove Programs" option located under the Windows Control Panel or you can browse into the folder called "uninstall MP Essential Files" located in your "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" directory and double-click on the file called unis000.exe. This will uninstall the new MP files only. It will not uninstall your game.
 
Permission by all the original mod authors was obtained where possible and we thank them for their work.

This skin was created after Ernst Udet's D.V skin as made by Paarma / OBD.
You may fly it at Udet's side in Jasta 37, Phalempin, in summer 1917. Enjoy!

After a lot more research, I totally re-did the paintjob of my naval DFW skin. Now it looks (I THINK) about as realistic as possible, per Dan-San Abbott's information. Hand-painted, symmetrical hexes in hopefully the right colors, and the correct colors on the fuselage and rudder.
 
But for those of you who prefer the apparently inaccurate "blue" version, it's still available here.
 
Now includes text file with OBD credit for original skin.

So, I've redone a N11 with no roundels. This is one with a khaki tail.

Hope you enjoy it

Here is a DR1 which I played around with,using a diamond lozenge effect.

All our skins presented here need to be unpacked by rightclick - unpack to:
gamefolder > campaigns > campaign data > skins
 
After that you can "fly" them ingame, when you choose that aircraft type in QC,
or you enter a Jasta with that craft in campaign.
 
Enjoy!
