Bristol M.1C by Andre Simpson Version 2A - Feb 25 2007
 
 
This is a partial re-work of my original M.1C.
 
The new version includes more detail on the wings, gun animation, damage nodes/graphics, revised hit boxes and collision points
and a tweaked FM. Any 3rd party skins should work fine, I've tried to match the original mapping.
 
- Installation -
 
Unzip the BristolM1C folder into your First Eagles "/Objects/Aircraft/" directory. You will need to re-install any 3rd party skins that you used on the prior version.

Add on plane for the First Eagles The Great Air War 1918
Patch No.1 compatible
your comments are welcome at tosovsky.pavel (at) seznam.cz
Readme included.
Enjoy Monty

to Fly the Oef Albatros DII as Austro-Hungarian
with hungarian pilot names etc
 
place the
 
TextureSet.ini
into the OefAlbatrosDII/OefAlbDIIBrown1 folder
 
the OefAlbatrosDII.ini and the OefAlbatrosDII_DATA.ini
into the main OefAlbatrosDII folder
 
and the NATIONS.ini into the main game Flight folder
 
what ive briefly done is this
 
[Nation005]
Name=AUSTRIA
DisplayName=Austro-Hungarian Air Service
Alignment=ENEMY
PilotNameList=NamesHungarian.lst
RankList=RanksGAS.lst
CallsignList=
Formation.Fighter=Fighter
Formation.Attack=Fighter
Formation.Bomber=Bomber
Formation.Transport=Bomber
Formation.Tank=TankSpread
Formation.MobileAD=AD
PilotTrainingStandard=POOR
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=
SpeechTextFile=
Medals=MedalsGAS.ini
MedalTextFile=MedalsWWI.str
 
edited the pilot names for AUSTRIA to use the stock Hungarian pilot name list
 
and added medal awards (tho only the stock german medlas sorry bwt that)
 
perhaps some one could make a new medal set up and rank set up allso to do the job properly
but for now it's something

Ok this is a package that makes DI, DII and DIII versions based on the DVa 3d model, for FE patch 1. This is just a place holder until real DI-III models come out.
 
Including in this package is:
*4 great skins by JFM.
*3 new flight models.
*1 (DVa) flight model fixed, post patch the DVa was way to slow.
 
Requirements:
*Too be able to fly the Albatroses you need the cockpit. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3701
 
Install guide:
 
1. Make a backup copy of <install folder>ObjectsAircraftAlbatrosD5a
2. unrar Albatros.rar into <install folder>ObjectsAircraft make sure to preserve folder structure
* three new directories get created, AlbatrosD1, AlbatrosD2, AlbatrosD3
3. download and install the Albatros cockpit http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=3701
4. Also make sure to install the albatros cockpit into AlbatrosD1, AlbatrosD2, AlbatrosD3 (you just need to copy the cockpit folder as there are separate _cockpit.ini files for each plane and they are included in the package.
5. Add skins to AlbatrosD1, AlbatrosD2, AlbatrosD3. In the <install folder>ObjectsAircraftAlbatrosD5a you will see that there are a few subfolders. All subfolders except the "cockpit" one are skins. Copy one or more of them into the AlbatrosD1, AlbatrosD2, AlbatrosD3 directories.
 
Thanks to JFM for skins and stats research.

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

DH.2 by John 'Aladar' Dawson
 
FM by the incredibly helpful and talented Charles
 
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. :)

Alternative FM for the default SE5a
07/30/07 by ShrikeHawk
 
I love flying the SE5a in a dogfight. So nimble and quick!
But...in slow-speed maneuvers and actions that require good
rudder control (i.e., landing, strafing) the plane is waaaayy
too squirrely. After rudder input the plane oscillates terribly
and it's very hard to keep the gunsight on target. Also, on
landing, the slideslip is extreme! The plane does not sink to
the ground as it should even when the engine is a 0%. At least
this is my experience.
 
So after endless tinkering, I finally have the SE5a flying the
way I expect it to. Now the plane lands much as the other
aircraft do. The landing requires more area but it is reasonable
now. It still responds a lot to yaw input, although moderately,
but will not oscillate at all after counter rudder input.
You can actually hold the gunsight on target with minimal effort.
 
This mod addresses other concerns than what peter01 is doing with
his alternative FMs. But when he posts it, I would highly
recommend using his FM. If you want to use this mod "and" peter01's
at the same time, please PM me and I will post a combination.
 
p.s. Thanks to Peter01 for the tip about the cnb parameter. That was
the last bit of info I was looking for.
