    1. Nieport 24 Lewis v1.0 with 1 overhead Lewis and cockpit
       
      Original N24 3D Model and clean skins by EmlD
      FM by peter01
      Ini file modification to N24_Lewis by Panama Red
      29th Sqn. Skins and Decals by quack74
      LeRhone9jb Sound by Nix
      Testing by ojcar
       
      This N24_Lewis was created so ojcar could use it in his FE2 Campaign Series.
       
      The real RFC Nieuport 24 Lewis had a very short career on the Western Front before transfering to the Middle Eastern Front. Basicaly only one RFC squadron used it for any length of time on the Western Front, and that was the 29th Squadron from Nov 1917 to Feb 1918.
       
      As a result, quack74 created this set of unique decals for all three flights of the RFC 29th Squadron. Included are two sets of skins, the default "dirty" set, and an alternate "clean" set for those who want a difference.
       
      To install this package, do the following:
       
      FE1:
      Install the N24_Lewis folder to your
      .../Aircrafts directory
      Install LeRhone9jb.wav to Sounds directory
      Install Gunsite01 into WeaponData.Dat
       
      FE2:
      Install the N24_Lewis folder to your
      .../Aircrafts directory
      Install N24_Lewis decals folder to your
      .../Decals directory
      Install LeRhone9jb.wav to Sounds directory
      Install Gunsite01 folder into Weapons directory

    2. Air Raid Warning Ambulances.
       
      These are the Stock Trucks re-painted to look like Ambulances.
      Their main function is they set off an air raid alarm on friendly Airfields when an Enemy Aircraft gets too close (or when you get too close to the Enemy's!).
       
      I figured that Air Raid Sirens weren't readily available at the time, so I have used a vintage Fire-Engine Bell, Which sounds quite good, and rings a bit faster than it sounds on the wav file.
      I have also included a version which uses an Air Raid Siren instead of the Fire-Engine Bell.
       
      I made the two different versions for the two different sounds (rather than just change the sound around) because the rate of fire and burst amounts are different, just seemed simpler to have them both available.
       
      They have to be manually placed on the Terrain, one at each Airfield, but this isn't as time consuming as it sounds, as most Airfields have several trucks already placed at them; so you just need to substitute an Ambulance for a Truck.
       
      If you really don't want to do this you can avoid it by making them exportable, but then you end up with Ambulances guarding bridges and balloons.

    3. It's not without emotion that I withdraw from First eagles modding.
      Since the continuous release of new amazing content at ridiculously low prices for Rise of Flight,
      I can't find myself to keep working on my long time TK WW1 game.
       
      As such I release my unfinished project "realistic engine sounds" soundpack "as is" with mostly finnished spare sound files that
      modders can use for their projects or players that have some ini knowledge can use for their aircraft.
       
      There are enough sounds for nearly all the WW1 aircraft. Clergets, Lerhône, gnome, Hispanosuiza, Oberursel, Mercedes, BMW, Bentley, Rollsroyce etc
       
       
      All the sounds are cleaned and reworked recordings of the true original aircrafts/engine, which I got provided after contacting
      many reenactor/museums of which I have lost the full list since months list so credit section will come in further update.
      I was given permission to share for all the records I worked on.
       
      Namology is as following:
      "Nameofengine200" where 200 stands for 200 horsepower
      M1 or M2 for modèle 1, modèle 2
       
      May this be useful to First eagles survivors

    4. Morane H, in French, Belgian, and RFC colours and markings, as with my upload of the Morane H Russia, these are just a rework of the originals, I have redont the skins to accept decals, instead of the pre fixed ones, however I have included them in the upload too.
       
      I have also removed the gun, as this aircraft was unarmed ( except for one prototype ) and changed the data files to reflect this, so it is only any good for recon or cas missions, it is grenade armed as per Peters FM's
       
      Also I have cheated a bit, you will notice that all the lods are from the Pfalz EI, and therefore all the skins are named PfalzEI NOT MoraneH.......do not change these names otherwise you will get an albino aeroplane !!!
      I have done this to allow the windscreen to show ( a bit drastic I know but the screen SHOULD be there, and it isnt present in the original Morane model) using the Pfalz lods etc, makes no difference at all to the aircraft
      the only real problem I have encountered is the shadows dont work too well, if you switch them on, you get a horrible mess around the port wheel, and it is very noticeable too, so I have them set as FALSE, but that is your choice.
       
      as I have said before, I have included the original skin files, along with my reworks. all the hard work on the original models and skins was done by Mr Laton, Mr Hermann the hun, and Herr Von Deutschmark, FM's are of course by Peter, any other stuff has been done by yours truly, I think I have also included all the relevant decals, sounds, and the original hanger and loading screenies too, so I hope you enjoy as much as I have enjoyed playing around with them myself, oh and I forgot to mention Mr Stephen1918 as he has helped me on several occasions, and is a wonderful help and mine of information.

    5. Just a little rework of the previously uploaded MS.H in Russian markings, I have just tweaked the skins a little, and added decals instead of the pre printed insignia, just a personal preference.
      I have included the sound files, and the decals needed for this aircraft.The only thing I would like to improve is the addition of a windscreen, as per the Pfalz EI , but that is beyond my abilities.
       
      The only little Glitch I have encountered is the decal seems to show slightly on the wing tip, cant seem to solve that problem, but it isnt that bad anyhow. I tried to place the wing decals further inboard, but for some reason the Starboard wing doesnt accept this, but I dont think it looks too shabby.
       
      just follow all the usual malarkey for installing to FE, or indeed just use the skins if you already have the A/C installed.
       
      As I have said, this is just a tweak of the original skin, so all thanks to everyone who went before me in designing the A/C and for giving me the idea to tweak it !!!

    6. Morane Saulner N
       
      This is a skin set for use with the excellent Eastern Front Campaign recently released by Stephen1918. The Morane N, one of my favorite 3rd party models, was originally released by P1oppy over 5 years ago, and rivals the best Third Wire planes for detail. It is a special ride, with a special gun, 8mm Hotchkiss and a propellor with deflector blades. The Imperial Russian Air Service bought about two dozen Morane Ns from France and most went to aristocrats, such Smirnoff. In addition to Smirnoff's plane there are three others, Nikolai Kokorin, who flew with the 4th KAO, and two generics, a CDL and one from the “Air Ships Squadron” whose primary duties were to escort Russian airships and the giant Ilya Murometz bombers.
       
      I include the most recent FM by Peter01, as well as the original FM, and the original installation instructions. There are no decals, but there are special sounds for the Hoptchkiss, and some special FX, such as the ribbon streamers that load as “Weapons.” I confess I don't use those, but they are there and you can select them from the loadout screen as “FLT LDR.” When I reinstalled the plane for the Eastern Front Campaign Beta test, I had problems getting the Hotchkiss sound to run. I thought putting the wav file in the sounds folder would do it but it didn't. I needed to install the SOUNDLIST.ini in the Flight folder. The Peter01 FM calls for the Rotary Engine sound while the original FM calls up the lerhone, both are in the sounds folder and you can choose the one you want. The file structure in this release is set up for FE2, but if you follow the original instructions, you can install in FE1 or the other variants of the game.
       
      Eastern Front Morane N Hangar and Loading screens are included to help with immersion. This skins set brings together the work of some of the best modders to work on First Eagles, Stephen1918, P10ppy and Peter01. They all deserve our thanks.
       
      Enjoy.

    7. Flyable Spad 7 for Eastern Front Campaign & FE2
       
      This is a skin set and data/ini file mod to permit the stock Fe2 Spad 7 to be a flyable plane, using the TW quality LOD's and bump maps of the FE2 Spad 7. The only Spad 13 piece is the stock Spad 13 cockpit with minor adjustments. There are several skin sets for various IRAS units, including two of the leading aces, Kazakov and Smirnoff. The skins are a joint effort with Stephen1918. I could not do the Beta testing without doing skins! The FM is entirely my fault, a revised Peter01 FM, with adjustments for Russian service, but it could also be used for other nations. The Leprieur rockets are not part of the loadout packages, as I saw no reports of the Russians using them on the Spad 7. Only the 150 HP FM is included because that is the version used by the Russians (there were very few of the others, even in France). The original files are included in case you want to revert to them without expanding the entire Fe2 fileset.
       
      I have not tested this mod in any version other than Fe2, but I see no reason why the skins and cockpit mod should not work in the various forms of FE1, provided you tinker a bit. You may or may not have to delete the bump maps.
       
      IMHO the Jones Soft Mode enabler is the way to get this and other mods in and out of the game, but you can certainly do it all manually if you prefer.
       
      There are also hangar and loading screens (apologies to Frank Luke) to help with immersion in Stephen1918s excellent Eastern Front Campaign.
       
      Enjoy.

    8. This skin set is intended for use with the excellent Eastern Front Campaign set recently released by Stephen1918. The Imperial Russian Air Service obtained Sopwith 1 ½ Strutters primarily from both England and France. Others were Russian license built French Strutters. Enclosed you will find cockpits for both the English and French versions, install one or the other as you wish (but the honor of France requires that the French aluminum and camo versions really should have the French cockpit).
       
      There are also new Russian hangar and loading screens. If you want to use them, you will need to save the originals and rename these "Hangar" and "Loading"
       
      This is only a skin set, so (if you have not already done so) you'll need to download and install the previously released Sopwith 1A2.
       
      Sometime in the future, on a date known to no one, there will be another Strutter release with a revised aircraft as wellas new skins, (probably a 1A1) but this will do very nicely for now.
       
      Enjoy
