ALBATROS  D II ( LATE )
ALBATROS D II ( OEF )
REDUX
 
An overhaul of both the Albatros DII  late version with the upper wing mounted radiator, and the Oeffag built version, with the Austro Daimler powerplant, and armed with a single Shwarzloze 8mm machine gun, the Oeffag variant is in standard linen over ply for the KuK Luftruppen, then we move on to the D II ( Late ) these include 2 differnt Turkish machines one with an all over Green/Brown Camouflage scheme, and the other in ply and a 2 tone scheme on the upper wings and tail unit, the markings are fictional of course just to give a little visual uplift, as Turkish machines seem to have been very bland, also very few photos of actual Ottoman aircraft either, so of course you can always remove the markings if you wish. Next we have a generic 3 tone Camouflage over medium ply, all these Albatri have again generic personal markings, as they do not represent any particular Jasta. The final one for your enjoyment, is an all over 3 colour Camouflage, very smart looking if you ask me, again the markings are fictional, but all 16 airframes in the " Jasta " have the same stripes, and there are no personal markings ( not every German aircraft did have them anyway )
Anyway, as always, both these Albatri are in plug and play format, unpack, and install, with the usual proviso, that any existing D II ( Late ) and ( OEF ) aircraft you may have WILL be overwritten, so please ensure you do the sensible thing, and back up or rename.
Everything is included for both aircraft, Decals, Guns, Pilots and sounds. 
 
A shout out to Stephen 1918, for his sterling work on the original models, also to Geezer for the pilot models.
 
As always...............................ENJOY !!!  

ALBATROS  D I I  ( EARLY )
REDUX
 
 
Following on from my previous upload of the Albatros D I, it is only right and proper to continue on with the D II ( Early ) As with my previous uploads, this is a total workover of the original D II ( Early ) From Stephen 1918.
So, a brief callout of what is included skins wise. First a generic 3 tone Camo scheme over light ply, I have done this as that way I could amalgamate several generic but mainly correct personal markings, without assigning them to any particular Jasta, so a pot luck/generic DII. The next one is an early Turkish Ottoman Albatros, again very generic, and not intended to be any particular Turkish unit. Then the really tasty one, or at least I think it is, 16 Aircraft from Jasta 2, including 7 correctly numbered and marked Albatri, as follows :-
386 Oswald Bolcke
437 Erwin Böhme
390 Otto Höhne
391 Karl Büttner
426 Lt. Günter
372 Stefan Kirmaier
491 Manfred Richtofen
The remaining 11 aircraft are figments of my imagination, but I think they fit in with the general theme of Jasta 2 Bolcke. 
Finally I have included Von Richthofens first red Albatros, which he used later on in 1916 most likely after the unfortunate death of Oswald Bolcke.Apparently it was his orginal Albatros ( D491 ) with all the fuselage, markings and tail feathers given a red wash, very cool indeed. 
As for everything else, as with all my uploads the whole package is there, so it is an un zip, drop and go sort of deal. If you haven't had any of my aircraft before, then everything is included in this package, Aircraft, Skins, decals, Guns, Sounds, and Pilots. Merely unpack the zip/Rar file, and drop it into the save folder where all your other goodies are stored. I shall again Warn that this package WILL overwrite any other ALB DII ( Early ) you already have installed if that is the case, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE back it up or rename it so no untoward harm comes, so there you go, I warned you, so if you futz it up, it's your fault 'cos ya didn't read the boring blather on here 
 
As Always..............ENJOY!!!!!................

ALBATROS  D  I
REDUX
 
A workover of my previously uploaded Albatros DI models, I have completely reworked the skins and markings, there are 5 versions in this upload, A factory "Standard" skin in ply and Linen, a version with a lighter stained ply and more yellowis Linen for the wings and empenage. The next one is an all over 2 colour camouflage over blue scheme, then an rework of the  previously released  DI of Prince Friedrich Karl von Preußen, which is an all over sea green colour, there IS a discussion as to whether this aircraft had a camouflage scheme on the upper surfaces, however it is only speculation, as there are no actual photos I can find of this machine. The final DI is an all blue with camouflage upper surfaces, of Hans Bethge of Jasta 1.
Everything as always is packed up and ready to go, just unzip, and drop into your directory where you have all your other flying circusses !!!  Just be aware it will over write any existing DI's you may have already installed, so dont forget to backup or rename the original files, to avoid any unfortunate mistakes !!!! 
Included are  all the sound files, decals, guns, pilots and of course the actual Albatros.
A shout out to Steven 1918 of course, without whom we wouldnt have the DI/DII Albatros in the first place, also to Geezer for the Pilot figure, and anyone else I may have inadvertently forgotten.
 
As always...............................ENJOY !!!   

Albatros  C III
Redux
This is a complete work over of the Albatros CIII. I was inspired by both Steven 1918's and Sinbads earlier releases of this aircraft. I used Stevens original release as a baseline, and also took inspiration from Sinbads relese as well. However, these are totally new skins. there are 3 from early war, with the early style of cross. an all over Linen one, a Blue aircraft, and a Stained ply wood version, the next set are from the mid war period, with the newer syle of Cross,. A more Blue Grey version, a Dark Stained Ply aircraft, a Green over Blue , and finally a Camouflage painted  Albatros. The next couple are both in Lozenge, one Blue, and the other Green with the lozenge on the uper surfaces, and the lower surfaces of the wings. Finally I did an Austrian machine, which is speculative, as some references sat the KuK Luftruppen did use the type, whilst others do not seem to refer to it being in service with Austria at all, but it's there anyhow, and the last one on the list would be a Turkish machine in all over Light Grey.
 
I have not made any of the Aircraft as belonging to any particular Kasta, as information is not particularly good on this aeroplane, so all the markings are generic, but also different for each colour scheme. 
This is an all in one package, so everything you need is included Sounds, Pilot, Guns, Decals, simply unzip the file and drop it straight into you FE directory. Just be aware that if you already have the C III installed, that this WILL overwrite it, so please back up or rename your existing Albatros C III !!! 
A shout out to Stephen 1918 for doing the original, to Sinbad for his model, from which I copied and improved some details from, also to Geezer for the Pilot model.
 
As ever ....................ENJOY !!..........................
