Based on B6313 flown by Major William Barker.
 
I have left the stock identification letter working, although the original aircraft did not carry an
individual letter.
 
For the updated First Eagles stock Camel 150 only.

Hello!
 
This is a simple touch up job of some tiles from Edward’s Photorealistic tile set for Flanders [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=4424], although surprise yourself and definitely try these tiles in Gepard's Vogesen terrain [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=5933], and other terrains as well.
 
Thank you Edward and all those who contributed to the Flanders environment and campaigns, TK and those unnamed at Thirdwire, and thank you Mike Dora for your original idea to redo the coastal tiles for consistency and your feedback and encouragement. Apologies if I have inadvertently forgotten to thank somebody, but thank you to all 3rd party moddders.
 
While the new tile sets are certainly welcome (thank you gentlemen!), they come at a cost for some people with old(er) systems. The photorealistic tile set still looks great with the new atmospheric mods and consistently runs superbly. If your system can take the extra load make sure you try Stary’s Flightengine.ini mod to push the horizon out and greatly reduce the ugly gray band. Thank you Stary, those few simple lines of code have rejuvenated FE for me, and I am sure for others as well.
 
Included are two versions of Flanders coastal tiles (redone for consistent sea colour) that have: 1) a subtle turquoise drop shadow to add visual interest and fake depth to the beach, and 2) coastal tiles without drop shadow for those who've seen the channel coast! Also retouched are coast trench tiles, Frairfield tile to blend in more with surroundings, all the river tiles for consistent colour, and miscellaneous touch ups to various ground bmp tiles. Also included are Rhein river photoreal tiles for Vogensen.
 
Copy to backup your Flanders and Vogesen terrain folder (to return to if you don’t like, or something ugly happens) and simply overwrite the old tiles. Any problems please PM me here, but remember, in life nothing is perfect...

This is a 3-Pack of Albatros D.V's of Jasta 32b in summer 1917.

Enjoy, quack74
 
 
 
 

Here are 10 Albatros D.V's of Jasta 12 in early summer 1917.
 
They can be used along with quack74's Albatros D.III's of Jasta 12.
Jasta 12 used a few D.III's until mid summer 1917.
 
These are just from the summer and fall of 1917. Late 1917 to 1918 had different personal markings all together. I had to draw a line somewhere
 
1. Oblt. Adolf Ritter von Tutschek - (All black fuselage)
2. Paul Billik - (Black swastika on white cross field)
3. Ltn. Carl Meierdirks - (thin blk band w square shape on fuse sides)
4. Ltn. Viktor Schobinger - (Long light blue eliptical shape on fuse sides)
5. Ltn. Friedrich Hochstetter - (three black circles stacked in a pyrimid)
6. J12 6 Point Star - (A 6 pointed blk and wht star on fuse sides)
7. J12 Criss Cross - (Zig-Zagging lines along mid fuse to the nose)
note: Fuselage could be light blue or white.
8. J12 Black Band - ( A black band that wraps around mid fuselage)
9. J12 White Band - ( A White band that wraps around mid fuselage)
10. J12 Castle - ( A black castle like marking on the fuselage sides)
 
 

This is a 5-pack of Jasta 12 Albatros D.III's.
 
Sometime after April, 1917 is when they adopted the black tail and white nose with black ring.
 
1. Oblt. Adolf von Tutsheck - (All black)
2. Ltn. Oskar Muller - (Black and white chevron)
3. Wavy Black Line -
4. Three point star -
5. German Jasta 12 - Generic
 
All can be used in conjuction with quack74's Albatros D.V's of Jasta 12. Jasta 12 used a mix of D.III's and D.V's until mid summer of 1917.
 
Enjoy 'em, quack74

South African Air Force skin for the TW Stock SE5a.
 
These rather surprising roundels were used by the SAAF from its inception in 1920 until 1929, according to IMPS SA.
 
They were used in "combat", during the Johannesburg Rand Revolt against militant white mineworkers (Maggie Thatcher would love it in old SA!) and the Bondelsvart Uprising in SWA in 1922.
 
The rest of the skin is not really historical, because while some SAAF SE5s stayed in PC10, most were painted bright silver, and had 3-figure serials in black on the rear fuselage.
The aircraft which I have seen still wearing it's original brown PC10 dope also still carried its RAF serial number, so I have simply left the stock serials and letters in place.

This is a 4-Pack of Jasta 26 Albatros D.V's
 
The lozenge camo has been colored differently. And salmon colored rib taping being added.
 
1. Oblt. Bruno Loerzer DV D.2299/17
2. Ltn. Otto Fruhner DV D.2329/17
3. Swastika marking Unknown serial and pilot
4. Stock Jasta26 DV with changed lozenge color
 
Too me the stock lozenge camo seemed too dark. So I added a little more color to brighten it up.
Also use the TextureSets I included for a more glossy reflective finish.
 
Enjoy, quack74
