This download contains a new skin for the DH-2 created by John 'Aladar' Dawson for First Eagles.
 
I would like to thank John 'Aladar' Dawson for this great model.
 
And I would like to thank Southside Bucky for sharing his expansive knowledge of the DH-2 colors
and markings.
 
 
This new skin for the DH-2 is that of No.32 Squadron from early 1916 to early 1917.
 
Colors:
 
"A" Flight - Black wheel discs with white ring around hub with letter "A" on upper wing.
 
"B" Flight - White wheel discs with black ring around hub and letter"B" on the upper wing.
 
"C" Flight - Black wheel discs with a white center hub with letter"C" on upper wing.
 
The flight leader to all three flights will have a number "1" to the right of the flight letter.
ex. The first aircraft in "A" Flight will have a " A 1" then "A 2" "A 3" etc, etc.
 
 
This is all done with decals to create the appearance of multiple skins of No.32 Sqn DH-2's
There is only one main skin included.
 
 
Enjoy, quack74

This new skin for the DH-2 is that of No.24 Squadron from early 1916 to early 1917.
 
Colors:
 
"A" Flight - Red wheel discs with red and white striped outer wing struts.
 
"B" Flight - Black wheel discs with black and white striped outer wing struts.
 
"C" Flight - Blue Wheel discs with blue and white striped outer wing struts.
 
The flight leader to all three flights will have a solid color on one of the outer struts.
ex. The first aircraft in "A" Flight will have a solid red outer strut on the left side and right side.
while the other strut remains striped.
 
This is all done with decals to create the appearance of multiple skins of No.24 Sqn DH-2's

I updated the skin in this package. Now the underside of the fuselage has a white sawtooth pattern rather than the tan "dope" color

This is a camouflage version of the Nieuport.24bis. It's the same camo pattern as the Nieport.24, only the horizontal stabilizers and rudder differ. And only a single .303 Vickers machine gun.
 
Enjoy, quack74

Update 31st march: If you are using these FMs for FE2, the gun loadouts won't work. I didn't realize that FE2 does some things differently to FE1, and didn't include a new folder that Fe2 creates. To fix, just download and install the updated game files here REALLY FIXED FE2 Game Files and 4 FE2 FMs 2010 .
 
***********************************************************
 
108 new FMs for the October or November 2008 patch of FE1 or for the FE2 game. Too many to list! Just about every plane model, and then some, with conversions.
 
These are solely flight model and game files. You need to install the 3-D plane models first to use the FMs. The FMs are designed for Hard FM mode ONLY. AI Skill Level and Weapons should also be set to Hard. Other gameplay options can be set to whatever you wish.
 
You must install the game files included for everything to work. There are a seperate set of game files for FE1 and FE2.
 
A Readme is included, with the following sections:
 
1) General
2) Folders and Files in the Pack
- The game files are in the "ESSENTIAL FE1 Game Files" and "ESSENTIAL FE2 Game Files" folders
- The "FE1 and FE2 FMs" folder contains all the FMs
- Lastly, the "FE Optional Game Files" folder contains optional files for both FE1 and FE2
3) Installation
4) Known Issues
5) Worth Knowing
6) Experiencing Problems?
7) Acknowledgements and Caveats
 
Have fun.

This download contains two Nieuport skins.
 
1. Nieuport 24 - Camouflage fuselage and wings with a bare metal nose section and cowl.
 
2. Nieuport 27 - Camouflage fuselage including nose, cowl and struts.
 
You can select different national markings as well as squadron markings directly from the game
loadout menu. I only created serial numbers for the rudder. These are in the "D" folder inside of
the skin folders.
 
Feel free to rename the folders to what ever you like.
 
 
Drop each "Camo" skin folder in it's corresponding aircraft folder:
 
 
Thanks to EmlD for the Nieuport models and allowing us to create new skins for them.
 
 
The skins and skins only were done by quack74.
 
Enjoy, quack74
 
 

First off this is for First Eagles Gold. But I'm sure it will work with FE2.
 
I figured a simple way to use heavy bombers that takeoff from airfields without changing the spacing for fighters.
What I did was copy a terrain folder (for this example I'll use the Flanders terrain) and renamed it "Flanders_Bombers".
And then changed the spacing in the "WWI_AIRFIELDS1 .ini" in the new terrain folder.
 
Now I can select the new "Flanders_Bombers" in the terrain menu and takeoff with any of the heavy bombers. All the missions are the same and all the same aircraft will appear.
 
There is a bit more to do. It's all in the Readme file inside. The new "WWI_AIRFIELDS1.ini" is also included.
 
A link is also included in the readme for the heavy bombers if you dont already have them.
 
Hope you like this. It's great for bombing missions.
 
Enjoy, quack74
