Hi guys here's a couple of new Pfalz skins, I have a lot of psd's at about 99% finished but I cant seem to stop from fiddling about with them !!!!!
but i'm happy that these r finished enough to post LOL

Fighting on the Eastern Front in World War I was much different from the fighting in the west. The Eastern Front was much longer, troops were spread out more, and there were fewer roads and villages than in northern France and Belgium. The front moved back and forth more quickly and more often in Eastern Europe.
 
In the air, recon, artillery spotting, and ground attack missions were the most common. There weren't as many dogfights, and squadrons rarely went hunting for enemy planes.
 
The purpose of my campaigns is to capture a sense of the war on the Eastern Front. I am not trying to re-enact any particular battles. I'm just trying to create the correct mix of planes and missions to approximate the way the war was fought.
 
This download consists of three campaigns in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia, near the Russian Ukraine.
1915, takes place in the late spring and roughly corresponds to the German/Austrian Gorlice-Tarnow Offensive in which the Central Powers took back the land they had lost at the start of the war. (Austria on the offensive.)
1916, takes place in the summer and roughly corresponds to the Russian Brusilov Offensive in which Russian forces took back a lot of what they had lost in 1915. (Russia on the offensive.)
1917, takes place in the fall, after the Kerensky offensive and before the October Revolution and represents the closing months of the war in the east.

Notes:
Everything in these campaigns is available at the CombatAce site.
 
Installation instructions are in a separate file. Please read the notes for special information about some of the planes.
 
 
Credits:
Many people have made this project possible. Some of them worked directly with me, and others have made things which found their way into this campaign. In particular, I wish to thank:
ojcar for his continued support, for making all the FMs for all my planes, and for providing the inspiration for this project.
sinbad, who made some planes and several skins for the Russian planes and who beta-tested the whole thing.
quack74, for making skins, providing resource materials, and for beta testing the campaigns.
whiteknight06604, for making skins and providing resource materials for the Eastern Front.
Monty CZ and EmlD, for letting me make skins and mods for their planes.
Laton, Bortdafarm, p10ppy, christian59, and geo for their planes and ground objects.
von Deutschmark, gumpy, Saltfiskur, and gambit168 for their skins.
Peter01 for his FMs.

And thanks to everyone at Combat Ace for their support, suggestions, and inspiration.
 
Changes in Version 2:
I have corrected the way Squadrons are named and eliminated duplicates so all aircraft should display correctly in the menu screen.
I have replaced some planes and included new planes, skins, and ground objects.
I have adjusted all the Strategic Nodes to get ground units positioned correctly. There should be no more AA guns or troops inside buildings anymore.
I have made changes to the mission parameters for many of the planes.
I have made new start screens for the campaigns which display while the campaign is loading.

this plane of Waldo peper or the captain franc madden of the movie the great waldo pepper :D

This download will create the Naval 10 (10RNAS) Triplanes used in the Spring and Summer of 1917.
 
Decals are used to create all three flights of Naval 10
 
A Flight - red
B Flight - black
C Flight - blue
 
There are 15 different color schemes. Each Flight has 5 aircraft color schemes.
 
Enjoy, Quack74

Hi Guys I thought as its 96 years to the day that MvR & Lanoe Hawker had there deadly duel in the skies of northern France, & sadly Major Hawker VC lost his life at the hands of the "Red Baron" when a bullet struck him in the back of the head killing him instantly, causing his dh2 to spin in from about 1000 feet,
 
i thought last night i could skin MvR's DII flown on this day, in that engagement, to add to the Boeckle skin I was going to upload
 
 
Hope U Like Um
Have fun

Since there is a Part 1 and a Part 2 to my original Aviatik D.I skin packs I'll call this one "Part 3"
 
There are three new ( Well, updated ) Aviatik-Berg D.I skins for two different models. I have continued the Hexagon camouflage
pattern on the fuselage up onto the forward metal cowl panels. I only did three versions (takes too long to do more).
 
One pack is for the Aviatik-Berg D.I ( Late ) with the two Schwarzlose guns mounted in the forward Cockpit
 
The other is for the Aviatik-Berg D.I ( Early ) with the Schwarzlose guns mounted in each side of the forward Cowling. Can be
added to my earlier Aviatik Skin packs 1 and 2.
 
Both model versions can be found in the FE download section under Aircraft Models.
 
The Aviatik-Berg D.I models were created by Stephen1918.
 
Enjoy,
Quack74

Fokker Dr.1 used to recreate the last flight of the Red Baron in the documentary program Unleashed History released in 2002 , of the channel Discovery Channel :P

the plane flown by Ernst Kessler in the movie the great waldo pepper :D

This download contains files and parametes to create ambient sounds and action sound to certain ground objects.
 
Horse vocals and galluping for Geo's Wagen objects
Wind, crows, and distant artillery for stock balloons
Charging infantry sounds for Stephen1918's Infantry Units
Airfield ambient sounds of birds chirping, light wind, and distant artillery
 
Readme files are inside.
 
Enjoy,
Quack74

This package contains Skin and Decal folder for Stephen1918's Hans-brandenburg C.I models HBC1_200 and HBC1_230. Both found here at Combatace in the First Eagles download section under Aircraft Models.
 
The Purpose of this download is to create the hexagon style camouflage used on the Hansa-Brandenburg C.I in 1917-1918. I have never seen a picture of a C.I marked in this way but I have read documentation that it has been done on several models identified by thier serial numbers.
 
Colors and patterens are somewhat speculative. These skins are Not entirely fictional.
 
Enjoy,

If you have ever noticed, First Eagles 2 has a problem with the Campaign Weather never changing after the first mission in any particular campaign game. Since TK will not apparently be updating First Eagles 2 with a patch to correct this bug, I have created a mod to circumvent this problem. This mod will allow you to manually change the weather in your campaigns missions so you do not have to fly the same weather over and over again.
For this mod to really work well, you need three items (all of which are included in this package):
Modified weather files
JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME)
Random Number Generator


What this mod does is convert any Clear, Scattered or Broken weather into one of the five types of weather I have provided. Unfortunately I cannot convert the stock FE2 Overcast or Inclement weather because there is a setting inside the FirstEagles2.exe that mandates the cloud layer between the ground and the clear sky above and I have not figured out at this point how to circumvent that internal setting. Also rain can only appear in the stock inclement weather because of the same internal FirstEagles2.exe settings.

What I can do is allow you to change any Campaign Clear, Scattered or Broken weather to 1. Clear; 2. Scattered Less (clouds); 3. Scattered More (clouds); 4. Broken or 5. Overcast. Each of the five Campaign Weather folders has three different weather looks to them and if you start with Clear in your Campaign, you have a forth automatic option (no horizon clouds), which is another FirstEagles2.exe internal setting.

Tally Ho;
Panama Red

A long readme is included in mod folder on how to set up the FE2 Realistic Campaign Weather Mod.

For those who enjoyed my original Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles, this is an update for the newer First Eagles 2 game.
 
First Eagles 2 uses some particular EnvironmentSystem.ini parameters that are unique to FE2 versus FE1, SF1 or SF2, so it cannot simply be dropped into one of these other games.
 
This First Eagles 2 Sky Mod has the following corrections to the stock TW FE2 sky:
1. Realistic fluffy clouds
2. Eliminated the Overhead cloud triangles (when you fly above Overcast or Inclement clouds)
3. Minimized the low horizon band during dawn and dusk patrols
4. Realistic dark night
 
I have included the original Horizoncloud.tga’s from the first Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles, but this FE2 version works perfectly well with the stock TW FE2 Horizonclouds if you prefer a different horizon look.
 
I have tried to make this FE2 Sky Mod as “widesky” as possible, the down side is an occasional “popping” cloud in the distance. If I made the sky any further “widesky”, the clouds would constantly be “popping” in and out, so I stopped at the distance that I have in the mod, which is twice the stock TW distance.
 
Installation:
The easiest way to install this mod (other than using the great JoneSoftGenericModEnabler tool (http://www.users.on....ucts-jsgme.html ), is to copy your “Flight” folder and rename it “Flight1”, then unzip all the included files into your original “Flight” folder.
 
The same credits for the Cloud.tga's and Horizoncloud.tga's still apply as in my original Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles (see original Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles readme).
