First Eagles - WWI and Early Years - Skins

This skin depicts the camo and markings on Albatros D.Va flown by Leutnant Walter Böning commanding Royal Bavarian Jasta 76b in October 1917. After scoring a total of 17 victories, while flying an Albatross with different markings on 31 May 1918, he collided with another member of his squadron and was then attacked and wounded by 70 Sq RAF. He managed to land safely but never flew in combat again.
 
There is some uncertainty regarding the details. The result you see is entirely my own, and my time machine is no longer operational. This is an interpretation, a well-grounded interpretation, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws.
 
There are no decals for this skin set.
 
Enjoy.

This is a skin pack for the Bristol Scout models C1, C, D1, D.
 
Thanks to Capun1950 for permission to use the skin template. And thanks to the entire SFP1 A-Team for providing the Bristol Scout models models.
 
These skins and decals were created by quack74. Not for profit nor intent to sell. Only as a download for those who are registered at SFP1 A-Teams Skunkworks site,(http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/) and have downloaded the Bristol Scout models.
 
These Bristol Scouts are from early 1916 to early 1917.
 
The folder names pretty much explain the squadron names. I dont know any other info on Scout squadrons and their markings.

This is Pfalz DIII 4011/17 and D.IIIa 8009/17 of Jasta 21s, France 1917-1918.
 
The Pilot is Ltn. d R Fritz Hohn.
 
Hohn was an ace at balloon busting and aerial combat with a total of 21. These are
the color schemes of his first DIII with Jasta 21s and his later Pfalz D.IIIa.
Most of his kills were made in his D.IIIa and later his FokkerD.VII.
 
Enjoy, quack74

This is a Jasta 4 skin pack for the Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa.
there is one skin template for each model. All the custom markings(colors) are all created by decals.
There are very limited photos of Jasta4 Pfalz aircraft so I mixed some D.III and D.IIIa color schemes together.
The end result is a nice colorful Jasta. The colors and markings are based off of original photos. So they're close.
 
Now when you use (or fly against) these Jasta4 Pfalz D.III's and D.IIIa's you will see all these markings at random. All the time.
 
Thanks to the SFP1 Dev A-Team for the original Pfalz D.III and D.IIIa models. And thanks to Capu1950 for permission
to post new skin work.

It was a hard winter and the mud was covering everything on the airfield.
 
The war was hard and dirty.
 
Only a few of my wingmen survived the last mission.
 
OK.
 
Those bastards will pay for that.
 

This is a mix of D.IIIOAW, D.V, and D.Va albatros skins. All with fairly accurate Jasta markings. Some models will share the same Jasta markings. This is so different planes can be used at the same time. Also they will match some of the Pfalz D.IIIa's done by me as well.
 
There are 17 skins in this download. Too many to list here. But it's all in the readme file inside.
 
Enjoy, quack74

This is an 8 pack of Albatros DIII's from Jasta Boelcke 1917.

4. Ltn. Franz Pernet.
5. Ltn. Georg Noth.

Here are accurate serial numbers for the Albatros models. They will appear on the vertical tail fin.
 
Numbers are for:
 
Alb D.III
Alb D.IIIOAW
Alb D.V
Alb D.Va
 
Included with the serial numbers are the placement coordinates that go into the skins' Decal.ini file.
 
It's all in the readme file. The install instructions are for FEG. For FE2 installs check in the Combatace forums for help.
 
I'm not using FE2 just yet.

These are all Pfalz D.IIIa's.
 
25 Jastas with generalized accurate markings.
 
All info in the readme file inside.
 
These are highly detailed D.IIIa's. As real looking as the model will allow.
 
Thanks to the Skunkworks team for the original model and to Capun for allowing me top repost my skin work.
 
If anyone notices any incorrect markings or mistakes please let me know. After doing 25 skins it's hard to catch everything.
There are some glitchy things on the model when painted or placing decals. I cant fix those things. They are minor.
 
enjoy, quack74
 
Edit: Jasta 77b now has a more "Bavarian Blue".

These skins are as accurate as I know how to make them.

Included in this dowload is the DATA.ini for the D.III. Install it into your Pfalz D.III aircraft folder and overwrite the original one. It contains Peter01's flight model and removed guns by Christian59. I lowered the gun muzzle and flash to fit into the painted on gun ports to simulate a real D.III. versions of these have all been posted before. But I recommend using these instead. They are higher in detail and more accurate renditions of real D.III's.
 
Enjoy, quack74

This is a generic skin of Kest8w Albatros D.V fighters.
 
Kest8 was a Home Defense unit. Good for attacking incoming bombers.
 
Could be used with Pfalz D.IIIa kest8w fighters also done by quack74.

4-Pack of Gotha G.IV of Kagohl 3
 
They are flight leader aircraft.
 
Brandanburg's is the all red tail.
 
They are said to be possibly red in color as opposed to the popular green.
 
If you have already downloaded my "Green " versions, then just back them up and install the "Red" ones in their place.
 
The red one without lettering also has two extra skin templates in the skin folder for the Green version. Just rename the "Green" templates to the stock names.
 
 

Here it is a "new" fokker with custom sound and cockpit side panels.
 
Just unzip the folder FokkerD7OAW in your Objects/Aircraft folder and copy BMW.wav to your Sounds folder.

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.

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

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

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.

Albatros D.III's of Jasta 11.
 
This download is of the Jasta 11 Albatros D.III's with the all red fuselages. Implimented late April 1917 to July 1917. The idea was to help Manfred von Richthofen's all red D.III blend in with the rest of the pack. Since there was a price on his head, his fellow airmen of Jasta 11 thought it might be a good idea if he wasn't the only "red" target. but each had an individual touch.
 
So I created a decal pack to help create some of the Jasta 11 ace's aircraft of this time period. They will appear at random and even von Richthofens D.III will appear as well. He might not be the lead plane, but he'll be in there.
 
Here is a list of who's planes you will encounter or use.
 
1. Manfred von Richthofen "Rittmeister" of Jasta 11 - All red fuselage with over-painted markings.
2. Karl Allmenroder - White nose and spinner with white elevators.
3. Kurt Wolff - Green nose and spinner with green elevators and light blue wheel discs.
4. Karl Emil Schafer - Rear fuselage and complete tail section all black.
5. Georg Simon - A pale green band around fuselage just aft the cockpit.
6. Hans Wolff - An orange band around fuselage just aft the cockpit.
7. Otto Brauneck - Blue nose and spinner with blue elevators.
8. Lothar von Richthofen - Yellow nose and spinner with yellow elevators and rudder.
 
The others you might see are unknowns and made up by me.
 
There will be some that appear to have no personal markings but will have the iron crosses on the fuselage sides and the tail section. I made these with crosses to make them different than Manfred von Richthofens plane. His plane will be the ONLY one with no personal markings and no fuselage and tail crosses.
 
More in the readme file.
