Well folks, this is my first airplane for the SF engine, and I'm hoping it'll live up to the hopes of the community. It's been alot of fun, and I hope y'all enjoy it.
 
Read the Readme.txt please.
 
EDIT:
 
Thanks to BigBouncer, who posted a great tip for increasing FPS. If you don't want to redownload the file, open up DH2.ini in the readme and change CastShadow=TRUE to Castshadow=FALSE
 
It aughta improve the FPS. :)

EDITED AND REPAINTED STOCK ALBATROS DVA TO REPRESENT A MID WAR ALBATROS DIII for FIRST EAGLES
with reduced performance to match the period...
 
for use with mid war aircraft etc
 
install to the objects/aircraft folder
if for example you fly a single mission and select 1917 as the year in the mission screen..
then only aircraft of that era will be loaded into the mission
so this aircraft allows you to fly in the correct period and have some slightly more appropiate targets/enemys

V.2 Incorporates the new V3 FM's by peter01

There were many versions of the Taube produced in the years leading up to World War I. When the war began different versions were being used in large numbers, on all fronts for recon missions. This is the Kondor Taube, which I think is representive of the "classic" Taube. It has the typical wing shape, uses wing warping for both the aileron and elevator surfaces, and has a six cylinder 100HP engine.
 
I have added a rifle for the observer, which he will aim and fire. I have made significant changes to the wires on the front to give the gunner more room to move.
 
Ojcar has created a fake machine gun for the pilot, which causes the AI plane to be more aggressive in pursuing enemy planes. I have installed that gun on this plane. Ojcar's "DummyMachineGun" data is included with this download, in case you don't already have it.
 
Some flyers wore simple crash helmets in WWI, especially in the early days. I am using a pilot with a helmet in this plane. The pilot and installation instructions are included in the download, in case you don't already have it.
 
The download includes my skinning templates, data for the guns and the German pilot with helmet.
 
Credits
Thanks to Ojcar for making the data file for the Taube, and for greatly improving the gunner. Ojcar also made the data for the dummy machine gun.
Thanks to Crawford for identifying a problem with the elevators.
 
Installation Instructions
For FE1 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "Taube" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder.
 
For FE2 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "Taube" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "Taube". Move the folder named "D" from your Aircraft/Taube folder into the Decals/Taube folder you just made.
 
 
 
You may not need to install the dummy machine gun, it has been used on other planes and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the gun and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.
 
You may not need to install the infantry, it has been used on ground units and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the gun and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.
 
You may not need to install the pilot with helmet, it has been available for download for some time and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the pilot and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.

These FMs were developed prior to the Expansion Pack. They won't work well, some won't work at all, with the Expansion pack.
 
EWS V1.0, July 2007, peter01
 
Alternative Flight Models for Bortdafarms 3D Models. Thanks to Bort for the wonderful models, and allowing and encouraging me to do alternative Flight Models. Please contact me on the CombatAce forum not Bort if there are any issues.
 
EWS "Early War Set" as they are "consistent" in terms of plane performance with themselves and the other EWS FMs I have done - as I see it, at least, with gameplay also a factor, and in Hard FM Mode only. There are quite a few differences between Normal and Hard Modes, impossible to have the planes consistent for both modes. However having said that, they are certainly flyable in Normal.
 
These FMs are built on Borts set available at CombatAce in July 2007. Bort continues to update his models, and his changes may result in some anomalies in my FMs - usually pilot/gun positions.
 
The pack includes 16 FMs - PfalzBI, FokkerBI, FokkerBII, FokkerDII, FokkerDIII, FokkerDIIIL, FokkerEIV, HalberstadtDII, HalberstadtDIII, AlbatrosDI, AlbatrosDII, AlbatrosDIIL, AlbatrosDIIoef, Avro504C, Avro504D, MartinsydeG100.

UPDATE and additions.
 
Flight Models for some of the A-Teams 3D Models, Aladars Dh2, Laton's fokkerD8 and most of Thirdwires planes. This will be the last change, until some time after TKs upcoming addon.
 
This is an update to the previous download, with the addition of 5 2-seaters, PfalzD12, Fokker D8. But there have been quite a few changes to previous versions - see forum topic "What do you think?"
 
Includes 26 FMs - Sopwith Pup, Sopwith Triplane, Fe2B, F2B Brisfit, AlbatrosD3, Dh2, Sopwith Camel, Sopwith Dolphin, Sopwith Snipe, SpadVII, PfalzD3, ShuckertD3, FokkerDr1, PfalzD8,PfalzD12, FokkerD7, FokkerD7F, AlbatrosD5a, Se5a, Spad13, AviatikC2, BE-2D, Bregeut14,DFWC5,RolandC2/Walfisch, FokkerD8.
 
The FMs should be considered beta. They are optimised for Hard Flight Model. The AI is excellent.
 
Contact me on the CombatAce forum not the A-Team or Charles, Laton, Aladar or even TK if there are any issues. And many thanks to these for allowing me to do alternative versions.
 
Please read the readme file for fuller credits and installation instructions, but its as simple as one drag and drop!

This is a complete revision of the Lloyd C.II with all new LODs, new skins, and improved decals. Ojcar has also improved the FM for this plane. Any skins that were made for the original version will not work with this version.
 
The Lloyd C.II was based on a pre-war Austro-Hungarian airplane but with a slightly shorter wingspan and the addition of a machine gun on a circular mount for the observer. The C.II featured a plywood body and swept-back, tapered wings and was used for reconnaissance and light bombing throughout the war.
 
The gun ring had limited movement, especially in the vertical direction, which I have tried to reproduce in my model. This will be a challenging plane to fly because you need to move the plane to bring enemy planes into range of the gunner. There is no gun for the pilot.
 
There are also two bomb loading options for light and heavy bombing runs. (We don't know if the Lloyd ever carried 50kg bombs, but we included the option anyway.)
 
I have included three skinning options, one with standard Austro-Hungarian markings from early in the war, and two from later in the war. I have included my skinning templates for those who want make their own skins.
 
I have included a set of serial numbers which will be randomly assigned to each plane. The numbers are fictitious, but in the correct range for the Lloyd C.II.
 
Ojcar made a new data.ini for this plane. He added the heavy bomb option to the loadout. The 6.5 Schwarzlose gun he created for the original plane is included, along with his instructions for loading the gun data ("DataReadMe.txt")
 
Credits:
Great thanks to Ojcar, who made the excellent FM and who added some nice features to this plane.
 
Installation instructions:
This is a complete revision of the original Lloyd C.II. If you have the plane already, begin by deleting the Lloyd C.II from the Aircraft Folder, and (if you run FE2) from the Decals folder. Then install the new plane.
 
For FE1: Unzip the file and move the folder named "LloydC2" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder.
 
For FE2: Unzip the file and move the folder named "LloydC2" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create new folder named "LloydC2". Move the folder named "D" from the Aircraft/LloydC2 folder into the Decals/LloydC2 folder you just made.
 
To install the gun:
This is the same gun that was included with the original Lloyd C.II. If you had the original plane, you don't need to install the gun. If this is your first install, follow the instructions below.
 
For FE1: Follow the instructions in Ojcar's DataReadMe.txt file. You'll have to make changes to the LloydC2_data.ini file.
 
For FE2: Follow the instructions in Ojcar's DataReadMe.txt file.
