  1. Albatros D.Va OAW-built 1917 and 1918

    ALBATROS D.V and D.Va Factory-new Johannisthal & OAW Skins / 1917 and 1918
     
    Since several OFF-flyers had asked for generic skin templates which they could paint their
    own emblems or decorations on to, I have made four such templates for the Albatros D.Va.
    All four present the facory-new Albatros D.Va, freshly delivered.
    I know that many of you are into weathering effects. Well, such effects can much easier be
    added to a new plane, than to be removed. So please feel free to add as much weathering
    and battle-wearing as you like.
     
    While the D.V was only built by Albatros-Werke Johannisthal, the D.Va was also produced
    at "Ostdeutsche Albatros-Werke" (OAW). I got a lot of help (see below) about the details of
    these builds; the guys told me several differences between the two production lines.
    Many may regard these as minor ones, and perhaps call us "nitpickers", but we wanted to
    get it pretty close.
     
    The differences I regarded here are these:
     
    1. Albatros Johannisthal used salmon ribtape on the wings; OAW used light blue tape.
     
    2. Crosses on fuselage sides were further back on Johannisthal planes than on OAW built ones.
     
    3. The weight tables were different
     
    4. Factory placards were placed under cockpit for OAW; on the nose onJohannisthal built ones.
     
    5. Albatros-Logo looking in flight direction on the Johannisthal-, and rearwards on OAW-built ones.
     
    Finally, there is proof that rudders were covered with upper dark Lozenge as well as light underside fabric. I didn't find any evidence so far for the OAW using the light, and Johannis- thal the dark fabric, but I wanted to present both versions and so I did it that way.
     
    Although the work on these skins took me quite a long time, there surely are still many bits and details, which could be more correct, but I ask all nitpickers to overlook those, and still
    enjoy the bird. These skins are made for your pleasure - and for your own paint shemes.
     
    The helping hands, brains & eyes on this project were from:
     
    elephant - nitpicking corrections and detail
     
    Jim "JFM" Miller - help with detail pictures and some facts

    Dave "Blowhard" Douglas - metal parts and wheel
     
    Without your help I wouldn't have got so far - thank you guys!
    I also wish to thank the OBD skinners for the countless skins with all
    the historical details - you guys lured me into this hobby with your work.
     
     
    HOW TO INSTALL A SKIN
     
    Unzip the file(s) and move them into this folder:
     
    [your sim] > campaigns > CampaignData > skins
     
    You may change the Jasta number, but you must not - if you leave No. 1,
    you would always find the skin faster in the briefing screen, where you
    select a personal skin. Scroll below the historical ace skins, and mine
    will be among the first skins.
    You can, for your identification, change the names "Johannisthal" or "OAW"
    into something personal, but keep the ending .dds - otherwise it won't work.
    Enjoy!

  2. BH_DFW_CV_KuK_Random_Hex.zip

    Yet another skin for the DFW C.V in OFF. This one is done in Austro-Hungarian hex camo. The fuselage is 7 colors, totally random. The upper surfaces are 6 colors arranged semi-randomly in stripes and squiggles. I got this paintjob from (many) photos of Knoller C.II(Lo) number 119.15 in a museum in the Czech Republic. The paintjob is copied hex-for-hex from that plane, but because the DFW is somewhat larger and has different proportions, the pattern doesn't quite fit and I had to ad lib all the wingtips.
     
    NOTES: The hex pattern is NOT supposed to like up between the top and the sides of the fuselage--they don't on the real plane. Also, there are some texture mapping issues, most noticeably on the upper wing just left of center at the trailing edge. Pretend those are repair patches--nothing I can do about them.

  3. Albatros D.V "Windrose"

    Albatros D.V "Windrose"
     
    Inspired by the 3. Albatros D.Va built by THE VINTAGE AVIATOR, I made this skin.
    The plywood of the TVA craft was varnished with a clear laquer with a warm redbrownish tone added.
    It looks like a darker honey, or amber.
    Together with the mauve and green upper wing camo, it goes very nicely.
     
    The skin file has to be unzipped, and goes into this folder:
     
    OBD Software > CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields > campaigns > CampaignData > skins
     
    If you want to use it on an Albatros D.V early (the "hunchback one", you only need to delete the word "later_" with one subline.
     
    The skin uploaded here has no capital "H" on the wing; I thought you'd like to use your own pilot's first letters.
     
    Thanks again, OBD skinners, as I was inspired your your over 3.400 skins, and worked after them.

  12. BH_DFW_CV_KuK_Unpainted

    A DFW skin with no paint other than the insignia and serial number. This, with its darkly varnished fuselage, is intended to stand in for the Brandenburg C.I in its most common appearance. Seems like most KuK planes weren't painted.

  15. OFFice: Skin in the Game

    ‘Skin in the Game’ is a custom skin pack for the OFFice incomparable campaign engine for Over Flanders Fields. It includes historically appropriate custom paint jobs for player aircraft in the OFFice campaign from the OFF community’s best skinners. Most of these are already available for download at Combat Ace, but this provides a single, easy-to-install package.
     
    Installation:
     
    The installer will automatically extract the mod into your OFF JSGME mods folder if OFF and JSGME are installed correctly. The ‘OFFice - Skin in the Game’ folder can be manually activated with JSGME if this pack is used without the rest of the OFFice suite.
     
    OFFramp will activate the mod automatically for your OFFice campaigns, so when you next launch OFF from OFFbase any additional skins will selectable in-game for your aircraft type. If the Bletchley’s RSS Ammo mod is enabled in OFFramp, your Munitions Officer will let you know in the hangar if custom skins are acceptable.

    DFW C.V Realistic(?) Naval Hex

    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.

    SPAD VII – Spa.26 1917

    No. S 1042 (14) of Spa.26 crashed on nose at St. Pol. This plane was wrecked on 14 September 1917 by M.d.L. Quellec. The serial number indicates that the plane was constructed by Blériot but it appears that the upper wing had been previously replaced with one constructed by S.P.A.D. or Kellner as the cocardes are of a larger diameter than found on Blériot-built planes. Also note that the nose appears to be painted in a dark color. A darkish color extends over the fabric surfaces back to the fuselage band.

    Inspired by the 3. Albatros D.Va built by THE VINTAGE AVIATOR, I made this skin. The plywood of the TVA craft was varnished with a clear laquer with a warm redbrownish tone added. It looks like a darker honey, or amber. Together with the mauve and green upper wing camo, it goes very nicely.

    I have only changed the upper surface greens, and the Belgian roundels. Thank you guys for your great works!
