First Eagles - WWI and Early Years - Skins

This is FokkerDr.1 204/17
Flown by Paul Baumer of Jasta 2 sometime after March,1918.

According to photos this might be what Hans Pipparts Dr.1
looked like. Not too sure. Any info would be nice. (if i'm wrong :) )

This is a Jasta 19 Fokker Dr.1
Dont Know the pilot or plane #
anyone know? Send me a message.

Dont know pilot or plane #, but this is a plane of Jasta 19
as seen in the provided flight line photo.

This is Hans Korner's Fokker Dr.1 503/17
of Jasta 19. It has the mid 1918 markings

This is Manfred von Richthofens last plane
possibly 425/17 of Jasta 11. This is the plane MvR would meet his demise in
on April 21, 1918.

This is Lt. Richard Weinzl of Jasta 11 in Fokker Dr1 588/17

Werner Steinhaeuser 564/17 of Jasta 11

This is Rudolf Rienau's mount 504/17
of Jasta 19 some time after April 1918

This is MvR all red Dr1
could be 152/17, 425/17, 477/17
you decide. Looks good w 1917 markings

This is 433/17 of Jasta 19
I don't know the pilots name
Enjoy

I left the stock markings so it could be used with 1917 and 1918 crosses

This is Friedrich Kempf's mount 213/17 of Jasta 2
using the stock 1917, 1918 markings

This is Josef Jacobs mount 450/17 of Jasta 7 I believe
with late 1918 markings. Enjoy

This skin set depicts the Albatros D.I flown by Prince Friedrich Carl of Prussia when he was forced down on March 21, 1917; he died of wounds suffered attempting to reach the German lines. There is no doubt (because von Tutchek described it) that the fuselage was painted light green. Some suggest that the field on the fuselage emblem might be red, but it seems to me the better evidence is that the field was black. An additional emblem was on the spinner, but I have not found a way to mount that, given the skin of this model. It would be impossible to see in the air, unless the prop was stopped! The serial number of this plane was painted over and is not known.
 
The files attached include hangar and loading screens.
 
Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin set available as a template, to BortdaFarm for the original model, and to Southside Bucky for advice for improvements. I have included a cockpit adaptation of the Albatross D3 model from the First Eagles Expansion pack. The cockpit mod will not work unless you have the expansion pack. If you do not have the expansion pack yet, you can still use this skin. All you need to do is go into the AlbDI.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:
 
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
 
To look like this
 
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
 
(Yes, these references are supposed to read AlbatrosDII not DI). Alternatively you can download the full cockpit mod from CA.
 
The FM by Peter01 is intended for use without the April 08 patch.
 
In addition to the skins, there a sound file which was recorded from a running Mercedes engine. If you prefer the original sound, simply change the lines in the data.ini file which refer to “PropLoopMercedes” to “PropLoop”.
 
This fileset is complete, and includes everyting necessary to load the BortdaFarm Alb DI. If you have other Alb DI skins, place the skin folder in the AlbDI folder and select it in the loadout screen to fly the skin.
 
This skin set is the final skin of a series presented to acknowledge the dedication and continuing hard work of Peter01 who has given us outstanding flight models for so many other aircraft for First Eagles. Without his work, this model and many others would be just pretty pictures.

This skin set depicts Albatros D.II D.1729/16 which was flown with Jasta 19 by a pilot named Scheller, first name unknown. Scheller was credited with four victories, which makes his partial identification a bit more interesting. If you have more information about this plane or pilot, pleease let me know.
 
This is one of the later versions of the D.II with the central wing mounted radiator. The D.IIL designation is used in the game, but was not used in 1917 by the Germans.
 
The files attached include all files necessary to load and fly the Alb D.IIL, including hangar and loading screens.

This skin set depicts Albatros D.I D.390/16 of Lt. Otto Hohne with Jasta 2 at Lagnicourt October 1916. Lt. Hohne was credited with six victories from mid September to mid November 1916. He was wounded in January 1917, and then served briefly as the C. O. of Jasta 2 in early 1918. Hohne flew with the Luftwaffe in WWII, attained the rank of GeneralMajor and died in 1969.

This skin set depicts “Jasta99” a squadron (really a Jagdgeschwader) of Albatros D.IIL’s which is not authentic, but will give you over 99 different sets of automatically generated personal markings which actually appeared on one German plane or another during the war (some may even have actually appeared on an Alb D.II – but I will not certify that!). The serial numbers on the tail are authentic serial numbers but bear no relationship to the personal markings. All in all, you get plenty of colorful adversaries, or personal aircraft. The individual markings are drawn from the base set which comes with the game. I did not create them, so once more we can thank TK for the possibilities he gives us.

This skin set depicts Albatros D.II D.1777/16 of Vizefeldwebel Rudolf Weckbrodt with Jasta 26. The serial number is correct within the range of aircraft delivered, but speculative. If you can identify it more precisely, please let me know.
 
Weckbrodt was credited with two victories before he was shot down on 14 Oct 1917 while flying an Alb D.V with Jasta 26. This is one of the later versions of the D.II with the central wing mounted radiator. The D.IIL designation is used in the game, but was not used in 1917 by the Germans.

This skin set depicts Albatros D.II D.1782/16 of Vizefeldwebel Otto Gerbig (NOT Herbig) of Jasta 14. This is one of the later versions of the D.II, with the central wing mounted radiator. Some believe that this plane was refitted with the wing radiator, after initially flying with the Windhoff “Elephant Ears.” Gerbig was credited with four victories before he was mortally wounded near Passchendale on 18 August 1917.

This skin set depicts Albatros D.II of Jasta 9, flown by Vzfw. Erich Kohler from February to May 1917 at Leffincourt. The serial number D.520/16 is somewhat speculative. It is correct within the series delivered at that time, but the specific number is not known. Vzfw Kohler transferred to Idfieg in May 1917. I find no record of him flying again.
 
The files attached include hangar and loading screens (the latter depicting this aircraft). That image appears to display a darker finish, but this is misleading as the nature of the film used darkens the colors.

There are a number of tweaks which have been identified since the first skin in this set was released. Rather than presenting a series of revisions requiring multiple downloads, when all the skins in the series are released, there will be a consolidated update including all improvements.

This skin set depicts the Albatros D.II flown by an unidentified pilot with Jasta 14 in late 1916 and early 1917. If you can identify the pilot, please let me know. This aircraft was license built by LVG, and carries the LVG logo and camo scheme. The werk number D. 1747/16 is possible (as one source suggests), but not certain as this plane also flew with Jasta 5; perhaps it was reassigned and repainted.
 
The camo pattern and colors, personal fuselage markings, lower wing colors and national markings all closely depict the emblems and national insignia of the reference aircraft. All skins, indeed all models, are at best approximations, and my time machine is still not operational. This skin set uses an unusual number of decals to obtain appropriate texture and color; consequently the bmps do not show up in the form normally expected on the model.
 
The files attached include loading and hangar screens.
 
Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin set available as a template, to BortdaFarm for the original model and to Southside Bucky for advice which made the paint scheme more accurate. I have included a cockpit adaptation of the Albatross D3 model from the First Eagles Expansion pack. The cockpit mod will not work unless you have the expansion pack. If you do not have the expansion pack yet, you can still use this skin. All you need to do is go into the AlbDII.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:
