First Eagles - WWI and Early Years - Skins

-------------- Jagdgeschwader II ---------------
 
Summer, 1918
 
 
 
Jasta's 12,13,15, and 19 Fokker D.VII's.
 
White, green, red, and yellow respectively.
 
 
This download contains all the the known skins of JG.II's fokker D.VII's
during the Summer and Fall of 1918. Each skin folder uses the pilots name or a destiguishing feature. So there really is no need for me to include a description in this readme. The skin folders are self explanatory.
 
 
Enjoy,

This download includes all the files needed to create four new F.2B aircraft (not just skins). The original .LOD files must be added to each aircraft folder for this download to work. For FE2 just drop in the folders into their proper locations.
 
Each F.2B aircraft uses decals to create A, B, and C Flights by the appearance of colored wheels (White, Red, and Blue respectively). Also different numbers and letters will appear aswell. No.22Sqn will have a Lewis gun on the upper wing. The FM's used are from Peter01's FM downloads.
 
The markings of each flight represent F.2B squadrons from Summer of 1917 till Spring of 1918.
 
 
Enjoy, Quack74
 
 

The Bohme/Lademacher Dragodiles The markings, logos, and numerals are those that appeared on the Alb C.III flown by Lt. Erwin Bohme and his observer Fritz Lademacher. The evidence available (three photos and the text of a letter from Bohme to his girlfriend) strongly indicate that the Dragodiles were white.
 
When I started this project I thought that the beasts might have been a light green or yellow-green.
It took some time to get it, but after I read the Bohme letter describing the images as “”ghosts” I decided they really were white.
 
That is why the default is the ghostly white.
 
I still included the less authentic, but more colorful greenies.
 
If you prefer the more colorful version, simply delete (or rename) the Decals file, and then copy and rename the"Decals Green Dragodiles" to "Decals".
Both decal sets are in the folder and should be left there. The green and yellow/green beasts should now appear. If you want to switch back, reverse the process. (That's why you didn't dump the original file!)
 
The Wood and Linen Alternative
This skin set uses the original decals provided by Stephen1918 that generate a varied set of markings derived from original German units and numerals.
None of the part numbers on the struts, elevators, wings, etc. are adjusted. Please back up your original “Wood and Linen files before using these as they will overwrite the originals. The logo on the prop is the earliest version of the Axial logo. Loading, Loadout and Hangar Screens. The loading and hangar screens are in the main file set along with the skins.
 
The loadout screen is in the Menu folder, and will replace the stock loadout screen for all aircraft. If you prefer the original, just delete it. Thanks to Stephen 1918 for a great model!
 
All files are set up for use in FE2.
If you need help getting this package to run in FE1, let me know.

Hi Guys,
 
this is for now the last paint to accomplish the belgian skins, a Nieuport 16 Repaint with Fox-Trot logo, used by Adjudant Egide Roobaert from the 5th Escadrille.
 
The Tailnumbers are numbered from 1400 up to 1499! You can use this as well as an update for all the other nieuports.
 
Have fun,
 
Hermann the Hun

Hi Guys,
 
to complete the belgian skins I made two Nieuport 17bis paints.
 
One of it is a general 5th Escadrille Paint, the other was used by Edmond Desclée.
 
In addition I made a new design of the cockpit instruments. Just follow the enclosed installation instructions.
 
The tailnumbers are updated from 1 up to 60. For it is the same script type you can use it with the other belgian Nieuport skins as well. Just copy the missing numbers into the analog decal folders and don't forget to copy the numbers.lst.
 
Have fun,
 
Hermann the Hun

This Albatros D.III is said to be from Jasta 36 in the Spring of 1917.
 
The pilot, sadly, is unknown as is the serial number. The colors are believed to be a black and yellow checkered pattern.

Albatros D.V, 1111/17

Here's a little bit of fun for Halloween.
 
I first saw this D.VII marking in a German magazine published in the late 1930s. Later I found it had also been included in a Windsock Datafile Anthology vol III.
 
August Hartmann served late in the war with Jasta 30, after that unit had moved on from the Pfalz D.IIIa and the orange diamond markings that are probably better known than the yellow fuselage and tail seen here. Some believe the nose and tail colors were orange because the previous markings featured that color, but a British intelligence officer reported that the fuselage was brown and the nose and tail were yellow.
 
 
 
 
After only a few weeks service, Hartman was wounded and never had any confirmed victories, so, you can conclude that the witch either helped or saved him!
 
There are two files sets, one for FE and the other for FE2. Just drop the appropriate file set in the Objects folder and you should be good to go. Both the FE and FE2 file sets include Halloween Fokker D7 Loading screens. All you need to do to get rid of them is delete those files. If you have special loading screens for the D7, back those up before installing. If you rely on the stock loading screens, those will reappear as soon as you delete the special Halloween screens.
 
Enjoy!

This is a Nieuport 16 of the RFC in mid 1916.
 
A handfull of these Nieuports were painted in this two-tone camouflage of brown and olive green.
 
No.2 and No.11 squadrons would be equipt with these such Nieuports.
 
Ace Albert Ball would be one to fly Nieuport A134 with No.11 Squadron.
On June 2, 1916 he would down a Roland C.II and an Aviatik two-seater.
The following day of June the 3rd, Ball would be armed with Le Prier rockets and attack an
observation balloon near Pelves.
 
 
Enjoy, quack74

The "Early" skins are from mid July to the 26th of August, 1917. Red=A flight, Yellow= B flight, and Blue=C flight. Markings were on the nose, wheels, and fuselage.
 
The "Mid" skins are from the 26th of August, 1917 to the 22nd of March, 1918. A white disc just aft of the fuselage roundel and on the upper fuselage
decking just behind the cockpit. The wheels displayed the flight colors. A=Red, B=White, and C=Blue

Sopwith Camel F1, 210 Sqn, RFC, March 1918
 
This is simply a new skin for the Camel F1 at Combat Ace created by Mikewhl and uploaded by Capun..

This is a skin ONLY add-on to the Pfalz DIII created by the
SFP1 Dev A-Team's Skunkworks.
 
Thanks to Capun1950 for permission to use the skin template.
And thanks to the entire SFP1 A-Team for providing the Pfalz DIII model.
 
This skin and decals pack was created by quack74. Not for profit nor intent to sell. Only as a download for those who registered at SFP1A-Team Skunkworks site and have downloaded with permission the Pfalz DIII. http://cplengineeringiic.com/SFP1/
 
For FE2:
 
This Pfalz D.III pack is of Jasta 10 from late 1917-1918.
 
1. Ltn. Hans Klein (solid black fuselage line)
2. Vfw. Friedrich Rudenberg (diagnal black band w red tail)
3. Jasta 10 generic (chrome yellow nose and tail)
4. Ltn. Aloys Heldmann (blue tail)

This is a newer version of my first "6-Pack". All 11 Pfalz D.III skins have been redone.
 
Enjoy again, quack74
 
 

This skin depicts the camo and markings on Albatros D.Va flown by Leutnant Walter Böning with Royal Prussian Jasta 19, his first assignment, where he downed 6 enemy aircraft between April and October 1917. It has often been misidentified as a plane he flew with Jata 76 later in his career. More than one source incorrectly suggests blue and white Jasta 76 markings (and I did a draft in those colors). Greg VanWyngarden and Bob Pearson both hold what I believe is the better view, rendered here, with the yellow and black horizontal stabilizer of Jasta 19 and red trim for the fuselage markings.
 
 

I did these a long time ago and then forgot about them after an illness.
 
 
Lt Wolf Jasta 5
 
 
This is perhaps the most colorful skin applied to a Jasta 5 Albatross. Obviously a Bavarian, Ltn.d.R. Wolf(f) served with Jasta 5 from 25Jun17 to 8Aug17 when he was sent to the hospital when some sources do report that he died..
 
The spelling of his last name is 'iffy', could be one or two "f's".
 
Wolff was credited with a victory on July 27th but first victory might have been obtained when he was a pilot with FFA 45 in Sept 1916.
 
In which case his first name might be Walter and he might have two victories.
 
 
Enjoy.
 
Notes for update June 12, 2010 - I just re-discovered these files, which are a bit later than those previously posted. I have not examined them to determine why they were revised, but I obviously regarded these as improvements back in January 2009. This was a very challenging project that ran on over two years;many of the revisions were minor. So update your previous DL if you wish.
