My first skin

This is a modification of the summer terrain by Firecage, posted with his kind permission. The color scheme is warmer and is reminiscent of the old Flying Corps Gold terrain.
 
Many thanks to Firecage for the original summer terrain and his support and suggestions on this project.

VOGESEN TERRAIN Beta
=====================
 
Vogesen terrain is made for First Eagles.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
INSTALLATION
 
1.) unzip all files into your WWI/Terrain folder
 
 
Thats it.
 
***************************************
The Vogesen, in french Vosges, are a mountain ridge along the former french german border. It devided the Elsass (Alsace) from Lothringen. The Elsass was till 1648 german, from 1648 to 1871 french and became german again in 1871. When the great war broke out french armies tried to attack from Fortress Belfort in direction of Mühlhausen (Muhlhouse), but had no real success. Also along the hills of the Vogesen mountains the war was hard and bitter. The german soldier fought here on german soil to defend the civilists in the Elsass lowlands, very often only some steps away from the last hills from where you have a beautifull look over the towns and villages.
Very hard were the fights around the hill Hartmannsweilerkopf (Hartmannswillerkopf).
 
I gave the towns and villages their old german names, to represent the time of the great war. This is not expression of desires of revanche which poissend the relations between germans and french since the french engagement during the 30 years war (1618 - 48). I'm glad that this bitter times are over and germans and french call friends each other.
 
Vogesen Terrain is still a Beta. Only the southern part of the terrain is finished. The most airfields are also not yet finished.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Vogesen terrain Beta is freeware.
If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of SimHQ.com forum or Combatace.com forum.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hope you enjoy it.
