Godwin Brumowski (1889-1936) had the most confirmed (35) and unconfirmed (8 downed behind enemy lines) victories among Austria-Hungary's pilots. Brumowski began flying on the Italian front in the spring of 1916. Beginning in April 1916, he got five confirmed victories flying the Albatros B.1, Hansa Brandenburg C-1 and D-1. After studying tactics with Jasta 24 from March 19-27,1917 on the Western Front he returned to the Italian Front and took command of Flik 41J, Austria-Hungary's first true fighter squadron. In August 1917 Brumowski got his first Albatros, D.III Oef 153.06, with a natural finished plywood fuselage topped by green and mustard sworl camo.. In October 1917 Brumowski began flying 153.45, painted red in admiration for Manfred von Richthoven. From November 1917 to April 1918 Brumowski flew 153.52 and 153.45. Initially both were all red with the famous Totenkopf skulls. Sometime during this period, mustard yellow sworls were applied over the red. From November 1917 on, Flik 41J marked their planes with yellow-and-black wheel discs. On February 1, 1918 Alb 153.45 suffered heavy damage in combat and an in flight fire. Three days later, Alb 153.52 was totally destroyed after barely surviving combat with eight British fighters. Alb 153.45 was repaired and flown through April, when it appears to have been retired. In June 1918 Brumowski was flying 153.209 when he was grounded. I found no photos showing the sworl pattern on 153.209. By October 1918, Brumowski was flying a dark brown desk with a green blotter, in command of the Austro-Hungarian air force operating along the Isonzo.
 
No Hanroit HD-1s were among Brumowskis confirmed or unconfirmed kills.
 
The Totenkopf, or death head images on the fuselage, and the crosses on the rudder were carefully reproduced from photographs for the aircraft (153.45, 153.52 and 153.209) in this series. The sworled camo is the final rendition of many variations attempted after comparison with photos and other research. All four aircraft and all six paint schemes are included in this series. Choose your favorite.
 
My time machine is no longer operational. These skins are interpretations, well-grounded interpretations, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws. I am aware of two variations from the photos and other sources. First, some Austrian pilots removed the spinner caps because these occasionally came loose in flight. Second, the rudders depicted are round at the trailing edge, rather than the straight. Both rounded and straight rudders were used on Alb D.III’s, but I would have preferred to use the straight edge type as that is depicted in most photos of Brunowski aircraft. Available models offer neither the straight rudder nor the spinner free versions. Modification of these parts is beyond my present skill. If you can do it, please contact me.

I have a new WWICAMBRAI_TARGETS file to add a bit more realistic feel to the game.
 
This release (more to follow) has Balloons scattered around the map by a large amount from the original release.
 
I have added anywhere from 6-10 Balloons around the 6 major cities in the game as well as a few AAA sites in each.
 
Every airfield will have a balloon at its corner. I wanted to make it easier to fly to and from airfields and also add to some scenery to each area.
 
There are about 20-30 balloon recon stations that follow the front lines so at almost any point you cross no-mans land you should see at least 1 observation balloon somewhere near you.
 
All in all there are probably around 80-100 new Balloons and AAA added, mostly balloons.
 
Enjoy and thanks for any suggestions you may have to add to this.
 
You need to have the 2nd expansion pack for this to work. :yes:
This is ONLY the WWICAMBRAI_TARGETS file. Please back up your old targets.ini file before overwriting. :yes:

VOGESEN TERRAIN Version 1.0
=====================
 
Vogesen terrain is made for TK's sim "First Eagles" only. I have never tested it with SFP1 sim family.
 
****************************************************
FIRST WORDS
 
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 german till 1648 , 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 today germans and french call friends each other.
 
Vogesen Terrain is still work in progress. Only the southern part of the terrain is finished.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
WHATS NEW?
 
Version 1.0
 
1. Vogesen Terrain is now compatible with the Expansion Pack of First Eagles. You will enjoy now the terrain in all 4 seasons. You will face snow in the winter and green in the summer.
If you dont have the expansion pack you should open file vogesen.ini and exchange line
CatFile=..\wwiCambrai\wwiCambrai.cat
with
CatFile=..\wwiVerdun\wwiVerdun.cat
 
2. I improved the tiling of the terrain. The street network in the Elsass is now much more dense. The River Rhine is now not longer a fragment.
 
3. I added 2 new german airfields, 2 more Rhine bridges, 2 other bridges, a couple of Castles, 2 chateaus and additional observation ballons (hope i had forgotten nothing). Increased the number of target areas from 78 to 116.
 
4. I cutted the middle Rhine Valley into the mountains south of Koblenz. This beautifull valley, which is famous for its castles, is still only a fragment. But i enjoyed the fly through this valley very often. With a WWI plane its an relaxe flight. For a funny ride you should take a WWII bird. With full speed in a FW-190, a Spitfire or a Mustang hedgehopping there is a great experience.
 
*********************************************************
 
INSTALLATION
 
1.) unzip all files into your WWI/Terrain folder
(files will be placed in folders Vogesen AND wwiCambrai)
2.) the file "Burgen am Rhein.msn" put into your missions folder
 
Thats it.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
CREDITS
 
As usual i want to say thank you to all guys who helped me to create Vogesen terrain, to TK, ErikGen, and a lot of others,( sorry guys, at the moment i have forgotten the names. Please contact me if you want to be named at this place.) Thanks for files, suggestions, bug findings etc
 
**********************************************
DISCLAIMER
 
Vogesen terrain is freeware. You are free to modify and share it, BUT Commercial use is prohibited.
 
 
If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of Combatace.com forum.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hope you enjoy it.

Little Spad VII hop up
 
 
Cockpit.ini and Spad7_180.ini
Hanger Screen
Widescreen and normal loading Screen
Default tan textureset (replacement for stock if you wish)
Escadrille 103 (Les Cigones) textureset and decals (Tan)
Escadrille 31 (Hoplite Archer) textureset and decals (Tan)
Escadrille 48 (Rooster) textureset and decals (Tan)
Escadrille 65 (Dragon) textureset and decals (Tan)
Escadrille 81 (Grayhound) textureset and decals (Camo)
Escadrille 94 (Running Reaper) textureset and decals (Camo)
Escadrille 3 (Les Cigones) textureset and decals (Tan)
Escadrille 3 (Les Cigones) Alternative with Stripe textureset and decals (Tan)
 
Escadrille 3 is skinned to a higher degree than the other Escadrille with personal markings and semi accurate paint jobs/numbers
 
The French seemed to paint all their aircraft individually so many compromises were necessary
 
The Folder structure is a little unusual (trying to save space)
Straight under the SPAD7_180 folder there is a Decal folder (combined for all the new decals) and Folders for all the new Texturesets
The main Tan Skins live straight in the SPAD7_180 folder as well so all the tan textureset’s can access then (some textureset folders have replacements depending on Escadrille)
 
If you haven’t already done so you will need to extract the Spad XIII cockpit from the ObjectData.CAT into a separate cockpit folder under the SPAD7_180 folder if you wish to fly the SPAD7_180 (the two .ini’s provided point to a cockpit folder and make a few changes to the 13’s cockpit but they are not necessary if you have already done this)
 
If you will need to use the provided SPAD7_180.ini if you wish to use the provided hanger and loading screen (or alter your own ini)
There’s a wide screen version of loading screen in the folder “widescreen loading pic” just copy it over the existing pic or delete it depending on your needs
 
I suggest you unzip this Download to a temp folder first and take what you need to the SPAD7_180 folder.
Please remember to back up any files that may be overwritten in the SPAD7_180 folder first
These Skins should work fine for the SPAD7_150 as well but the .ini files will be different
 
Please feel free to use these skins and decals for your own work (non-profit only)
 
Hope you enjoy them

This skin depicts an HD-1, SN unknown, flown by the top scoring Italian ace, Flavio Torello Baracchini. Barachini flew this plane with 81 Squadriglia Caccia at Casoni in mid to late 1918. The Black Shield version was one of several aircraft with different markings Baracchini used as he accumulated the 33 victories he was credited with during the war. When this was reduced afterwards to 21, Baracchini became extremely bitter about what he regarded as a stain on his honor.
 
The colors and markings are derived from photographs and an excellent profile by Ray Rimell. There is ongoing discussion regarding the colors of the Italian HD-1s. Those built by Macchi were known to be finished in aluminum dope. There is also good evidence that at least some were finished with clear or yellow dope over the linen. This particular aircraft appears to have been a combination, perhaps mating newer wings and the horizontal stabilizer with another fuselage. In any event, the colors are as accurate as research permits. There was wide variation in the paints used by the Italians in the field to apply the national markings. Many used the dark forest green and dark red shown in this skin, while other units used brighter colors. Some even used a red, white, green sequence, rather than green, white red.
 
The model and the excellent template, as well as the cockpit and parts in the layout, were all done by EmlD. Without his outstanding work, patience and guidance, this skin would never have been possible.
 
This skin is based on a collaboration, but the paints and markings you see depicting this aircraft are entirely my responsibility, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
 
Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material. At the time of this release no information was available as to the serial number for this plane. If you have such info, please pass it along.
 
Because there is another skin depicting a plane flown by Baracchini, I have modified the name in the texture set. Just drop the folder in your HD-1_ITA folder folder and select Baracchini Black in the loadout screen.
 
There is no need to edit the ini.
 
Please no distribution or republication of any part of these files. There is a lot of unique detail that took a lot a time to research, compile and work into the skin. For that reason, these parts are not available for further use.

This skin depicts an HD-1, SN 7501, flown by Capitano Franco Sarrocchi with 85a Sq at Piskupi, in Macedonia in mid 1918. This plane is one of several which were equipped with two guns, after Silvio Scaroni first demonstrated that this increased armament was possible. The colors of the Dragon, turtledeck banner, roundels and lower panels on the wings are as accurate as research permits. There was wide variation in the paints used by the Italians in the field to apply the national markings. Many used dark forest green and dark red while other units used brighter colors. Some even used a red, white, green sequence, rather than green, white red. The turtledeck banner represents the Bersaglieri unit to which Sarrocchi was assigned before his transfer to aviation.
 
The skin is based on several sources, including 3 views from and Eduard kit, and “Above the War Fronts,” by Norman Franks, Russel Guest and Gregory Alegi.
 
The model, the excellent template, the cockpit and detail parts in the layout were all done by EmlD. Without his outstanding work, patience and guidance, this skin would never have been possible.
 
This skin is the product of collaboration, but the paints and markings you see depicting this aircraft are entirely my responsibility, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
 
Have fun with it. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material.
 
Just drop the folder in your HD-1_DUAL folder and select Franco Sarrocchi in the loadout screen.
 
There is no need to edit the ini.
