  2. First Eagles Replacement Terrain

    Here are some replacement tiles for the stock First Eagles Terrain. They are modified Flight Simulator 2004 tiles. They are not perfect, and there are still a few misplaced trees.
     
    These tiles change nothing else about the stock Verdun terrain except the look. All roads, villages, rivers and trenches are intact.
     
    To install simply copy all the files into your wwiVerdun folder inside the terrain folder. To delete simply delete all the files from the folder.
     
    My sincere thanks to the A-Team for all their advice and support, and to TK for creating such an excellent flight sim and for the terrain design tools.

  3. First Eagles seasonal Tiles by Jan Tuma

    First Eagles seasonal Tiles by Jan Tuma
     
    -------------------------------------------
     
     
    This is a set of new seasonal textures together with environmental mod (Trees, Forests, Farms, and new city objects) to enhance the look and feel of default First Eagles "Verdun" terrain; Expansion Pack 1 "Cambrai" terrain and aditional Flanders and Vogesen terrain.
     
    Different textures and environmental for each of 12 months.
     
    Please note that due to things work in the series terrain engine, you cannot destroy nor collide with buildings or trees.
     
    There may be some performance drop on older systems (drop off framerate during flight), you have been warned!
     
     
     
    ----------------------
    Installation:
    ----------------------
     
    First make backups of your existing terrains folders!!! In case something goes wrong during the install...
     
    A) Installation for all terrain (Werdun, Cambrai, Flanders and Vogesen):
    Extract this package to First eagles main directory (not in Terrain folder), if asked, overwrite. So will supplementeds all files in Terrain folder at a time.
     
    B) Custom Installation:
    1) Unzip this package and open "Terrain" directory
    2) Copy "Seasonal_tiles" folder in Terrain directory
    3) For installation new Tiles to Werdun terrain copy "wwiVerdun" directory from installation package to "Terrain" folder, if asked, overwrite
    4) For installation new Tiles to Cambrai terrain copy "wwiCambrai" directory from installation package to "Terrain" folder, if asked, overwrite
    5) For installation new Tiles to Flanders terrain copy "Flanders" directory from installation package to "Terrain" folder, if asked, overwrite
    6) For installation new Tiles to Verdun terrain copy "Verdun" directory from installation package to "Terrain" folder, if asked, overwrite
     
    You may want to change the Ground Objects setting from Medium or High to Unlimited for better look (above all cities tiles)
     
     
    ----------------------
    Uninstallation:
    ----------------------
     
    A) Best would be to restore the directory you BACKED UP, don't tell me you didn't!
     
    or
     
    B)
     
    1) Delete "seasonal_tiles" folder in Terrain directory
    2) Delete all *.TOD files in "Terrain\wwiVerdun" folder. Move or copy all files found inside of "Terrain\wwiVerdun\backup" directory to "Terrain\wwiVerdun" folder, if asked, overwrite
    3) Delete all *.TOD files in "Terrain\wwiCambrai" folder. Move or copy all files found inside of "Terrain\wwiCambrai\backup" directory to "Terrain\wwiCambrai" folder, if asked, overwrite
    4) Delete all *.TOD files in "Terrain\Flanders" folder. Move or copy all files found inside of "Terrain\Flanders\backup" directory to "Terrain\Flanders" folder, if asked, overwrite
    5) Delete all *.TOD files in "Terrain\Vogesen" folder. Move or copy all files found inside of "Terrain\Vogesen\backup" directory to "Terrain\Vogesen" folder, if asked, overwrite

  4. Italian Terrain (incl. 1915-1917 campaign)

    Italian Terrain WW1 V2.0
    *******************************
     
    Update (2.0):
    - Removed ships that show up on land
    - Added fortresses (Austrian & Italian)
    - Changed ocean tiles
    - Minor corrections
     
    INTRODUCTION
    The Italian Front during WW1 refers to a series of battles fought between 1915 and 1918 in northern Italy between the armies of Austria-Hungary and Germany against Italy.
    Italy hoped that by joining the countries of the Triple Entente against the Central Powers it would gain Cisalpine Tyrol (today's provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol), the Austrian Littoral, northern Dalmatia and some areas of western Carniola.
    Italy had hoped to begin the war with a surprise offensive intended to move quickly and capture several Austrian cities.
    Well, the war soon bogged down into trench warfare similar to the Western Front fought in France.
     
    INCLUDED
    - Italian terrain/front WW1
    - Ground objects
    - Italian campaign 1915-1917 (incl. needed skins)
     
    FAQs
    Q: Is the scale of the map correct
    A: No
    Q: Why not the Piave river front, in order to create late 1917/1918 scenarios?
    A: Because
    Q: Are all the named towns and cities correct (placement and naming)
    A: Yes as good as it gets.
    Q: Does it include more than one season?
    A: No, currently not. Might be released with version 2
    Q: Is the frontline correct?
    A: Yes as good as it gets, representing late 1917 with certain omissions in order to get targets for the campaigns (like Monfalcone being Austro-Hungarian)
    Q: The river Isonzo seems to cut through the mountains, is that correct?
    A: To a certain degree, but I had to modify massively the heightmap in order to make things look right (e.g. river not flowing up/down the mountains)
    Q: The northern part of the map, e.g. toward Munich, seems without further towns?
    A: Correct. All forests and lakes are there but apart from the major cities (Salzburg & Munich) I've not yes included smaller towns.

  6. Thicker, Fuller Clouds for FE

    Thicker, Fuller Clouds for FE
    07/30/07 by ShrikeHawk
     
    I felt that the default in FE looked too much like faded white blobs
    and not nearly enough like clouds. So I set about to change it.
     
    My intention here was to make more robust-looking clouds with a higher
    density and a greater "presence". I also wanted to create the more
    complex shapes that clouds can form. The kind that makes you lay in
    the grass and imagine what animal shape the cloud is.
     
    I increased the random factor for the clouds as well, so scattered
    clouds can be almost as dense as the default broken clouds and then
    again the clouds could be very sparse. So you never quite know what
    you're going to get. I like that better.
     
    I wanted to fix Inclement Clouds too. Realistic or not, I felt that it
    was too featureless and too muddy gray. I thought the cloudlayerbottom
    didn't match the stormy gray of the horizon clouds. So I created a new
    CLOUDLAYERBOTTOM5.bmp that I think fits the look of a stormy sky better.
     
    I have increased the particle count in the clouds a lot. This is a big
    reason for the thicker clouds. In defense of TK, I think he had the
    default clouds the way he did because it would keep the framerates high
    for most machines. This is a guess. I have not seen a framerate hit on
    my machine (2.80Ghz CPU, @750Mb RAM, GeForce 6800GT 256Mb VRAM), but it
    is possible that some machines may get an FPS degrade with this mod.
     
    Have fun!

  7. Hi-res Terrain for First Eagles

    Hi-res Terrain Set for Third Wire's First Eagles
     
    This is a hi-res terrain set for First Eagles. It replaces all of the default terrain with repainted 512x512 tiles (most of the default is 256x256). This terrain set preserves the original locations of the trees and fields, and leverages some features of the original terrain. The result is a landscape that still has a similar feel as the stock terrain, but with much greater detail and visual interest.
     
    Further info and link to full readme here.
     
    Updated 1/31/07- Smaller download and terrain loads faster in game. Other minor changes. See readme for details.

  9. Re-coloured First Eagles stock Terrain Version 1

    I'm pretty happy with ThirdWire's stock terrain but felt it was just too "cold", so I lightned & warmed it up a bit! I think that the end-result looks a bit more "natural" than the original – I hope you agree
     
    Thanks to Sopwith Kennel for the inspiration for this mod

  10. First Eagles Winter Replacement Terrain

    Here are Replacement Winter Terrain Tiles for First Eagles. They are modified EAW Tiles. They are not perfect, as I still have to replant a few trees, but they certainly allow you to fly over the Western Front when it's cold.
     
    These tiles change nothing except the look of the terrain. All roads, rivers trenches and airfields are intact.
     
    Installation
     
    Just drop these files in your wwiVerdun terrain folder. To delete just remove the files.
     
    Flanders Terrain is to follow.

  11. Vogesen Terrain version 1.0

    VOGESEN TERRAIN Version 1.0
    =====================
     
    Vogesen terrain is made for TK's sim "First Eagles" only. I have never tested it with SFP1 sim family.
     
    ****************************************************
    FIRST WORDS
     
    The Vogesen, in french Vosges, are a mountain ridge along the former french german border. It devided the Elsass (Alsace) from Lothringen. The Elsass was german till 1648 , from 1648 to 1871 french and became german again in 1871. When the great war broke out french armies tried to attack from Fortress Belfort in direction of Mühlhausen (Muhlhouse), but had no real success. Also along the hills of the Vogesen mountains the war was hard and bitter. The german soldier fought here on german soil to defend the civilists in the Elsass lowlands, very often only some steps away from the last hills from where you have a beautifull look over the towns and villages.
    Very hard were the fights around the hill Hartmannsweilerkopf (Hartmannswillerkopf).
     
    I gave the towns and villages their old german names, to represent the time of the great war. This is not expression of desires of revanche which poissend the relations between germans and french since the french engagement during the 30 years war (1618 - 48). I'm glad that this bitter times are over and today germans and french call friends each other.
     
    Vogesen Terrain is still work in progress. Only the southern part of the terrain is finished.
     
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     
    WHATS NEW?
     
    Version 1.0
     
    1. Vogesen Terrain is now compatible with the Expansion Pack of First Eagles. You will enjoy now the terrain in all 4 seasons. You will face snow in the winter and green in the summer.
    If you dont have the expansion pack you should open file vogesen.ini and exchange line
    CatFile=..\wwiCambrai\wwiCambrai.cat
    with
    CatFile=..\wwiVerdun\wwiVerdun.cat
     
    2. I improved the tiling of the terrain. The street network in the Elsass is now much more dense. The River Rhine is now not longer a fragment.
     
    3. I added 2 new german airfields, 2 more Rhine bridges, 2 other bridges, a couple of Castles, 2 chateaus and additional observation ballons (hope i had forgotten nothing). Increased the number of target areas from 78 to 116.
     
    4. I cutted the middle Rhine Valley into the mountains south of Koblenz. This beautifull valley, which is famous for its castles, is still only a fragment. But i enjoyed the fly through this valley very often. With a WWI plane its an relaxe flight. For a funny ride you should take a WWII bird. With full speed in a FW-190, a Spitfire or a Mustang hedgehopping there is a great experience.
     
    *********************************************************
     
    INSTALLATION
     
    1.) unzip all files into your WWI/Terrain folder
    (files will be placed in folders Vogesen AND wwiCambrai)
    2.) the file "Burgen am Rhein.msn" put into your missions folder
     
    Thats it.
     
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  12. 1024-res Terrain Supplement for Hi-res Terrain Set

    This is a supplement to the Hi-Res Terrain Set by max188. It replaces a core set of 512x512 hi-res tiles with 1024x1024 tiles. You will notice increased detail in the main fields, trenches, and airfield at low altitude when using these tiles. This requires the Hi-Res Terrain set to already be installed.

  14. Seasonal Town & Water Tiles (Spring, Summer, Fall)

    Read Me for First Eagles Spring, Summer, and Fall modded town and water tiles by Bandy.
     
    These tiles only go with Jan Tuma's seasonal terrain tiles mod.
    As the title says, these are only for Spring, Summer, and Fall;
    winter is a work in progress.
     
    Many thanks go to Jan Tuma for creating his FE seasonal town tiles that,
    to me at least, have made a huge difference in the feel of the sim.
    Thanks to TK and friends, and all 3rd party modders who make this a great community.
     
    The town tiles are 1024 x 1024 in order to improve certain textures.
    All other non-town tiles in this mod are 512 x 512. Resize as you require.
     
    The water tiles replace the "turquoise" shaded water with a darker blue-gray.
    If you like turquoise, then let me know and I will render a version with that colour.
    I noticed a long time ago that one of the Flanders Town.tod files was mislabelled; a
    replacement is provided.
     
    To Install:
    1) Back up your terrain folder.
    2) Unzip this download and drag the corresponding folders into the
    /Terrain/seasonal_tiles folder, and the /Terrain/Flanders folder
    overwriting the files when prompted.
    3) Fly!
     
    Caveats:
    I could not extensively test these tiles in all seasons and all terrains, I simply do
    not have that much free time, so please post any errors or tweaks you think are required.
     
    Some trees and buildings do funky things at the tile margins; short story, this is unavoidable.
    I would like to have shifted the "statues" or monuments in some of the town squares,
    but did not. If you can do this, that would be sincerely appreciated.
     
    Dog fighting over towns is really enjoyable!

  15. Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles 2

    For those who enjoyed my original Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles, this is an update for the newer First Eagles 2 game.
     
    First Eagles 2 uses some particular EnvironmentSystem.ini parameters that are unique to FE2 versus FE1, SF1 or SF2, so it cannot simply be dropped into one of these other games.
     
    This First Eagles 2 Sky Mod has the following corrections to the stock TW FE2 sky:
    1. Realistic fluffy clouds
    2. Eliminated the Overhead cloud triangles (when you fly above Overcast or Inclement clouds)
    3. Minimized the low horizon band during dawn and dusk patrols
    4. Realistic dark night
     
    I have included the original Horizoncloud.tga’s from the first Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles, but this FE2 version works perfectly well with the stock TW FE2 Horizonclouds if you prefer a different horizon look.
     
    I have tried to make this FE2 Sky Mod as “widesky” as possible, the down side is an occasional “popping” cloud in the distance. If I made the sky any further “widesky”, the clouds would constantly be “popping” in and out, so I stopped at the distance that I have in the mod, which is twice the stock TW distance.
     
    Installation:
    The easiest way to install this mod (other than using the great JoneSoftGenericModEnabler tool (http://www.users.on....ucts-jsgme.html ), is to copy your “Flight” folder and rename it “Flight1”, then unzip all the included files into your original “Flight” folder.
     
    The same credits for the Cloud.tga's and Horizoncloud.tga's still apply as in my original Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles (see original Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles readme).

  16. FE2 Realistic Campaign Weather Mod



    If you have ever noticed, First Eagles 2 has a problem with the Campaign Weather never changing after the first mission in any particular campaign game. Since TK will not apparently be updating First Eagles 2 with a patch to correct this bug, I have created a mod to circumvent this problem. This mod will allow you to manually change the weather in your campaigns missions so you do not have to fly the same weather over and over again.
    For this mod to really work well, you need three items (all of which are included in this package):
    Modified weather files
    JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME)
    Random Number Generator


    What this mod does is convert any Clear, Scattered or Broken weather into one of the five types of weather I have provided. Unfortunately I cannot convert the stock FE2 Overcast or Inclement weather because there is a setting inside the FirstEagles2.exe that mandates the cloud layer between the ground and the clear sky above and I have not figured out at this point how to circumvent that internal setting. Also rain can only appear in the stock inclement weather because of the same internal FirstEagles2.exe settings.

    What I can do is allow you to change any Campaign Clear, Scattered or Broken weather to 1. Clear; 2. Scattered Less (clouds); 3. Scattered More (clouds); 4. Broken or 5. Overcast. Each of the five Campaign Weather folders has three different weather looks to them and if you start with Clear in your Campaign, you have a forth automatic option (no horizon clouds), which is another FirstEagles2.exe internal setting.

    Tally Ho;
    Panama Red

    A long readme is included in mod folder on how to set up the FE2 Realistic Campaign Weather Mod.

  17. Galicia2

    This is a completely new version of the Galicia terrain. The new terrain includes new tiles and TODs, adjustments to the height map, many new targets and objects, winter and summer tiles. All necessary ground objects are included in the download. 
    Galicia was the name of a territory in north-eastern Hungary and was the scene of major fighting during the First World War. It was invaded by the Russians early in the war, was recaptured by the Austro-Hungarians later, and invaded by the Russians again even later.
    This download includes all the ground objects necessary for the Eastern Front. A more complete ReadMe file is included in the download. I have included instructions for updating an existing install or for making a completely new install. Instructions for both FE1 and FE2 are included.
    New in Version 3
    I have made all new farm and city tiles with new TODs. I have made many adjustments to the height map and changed the amount of tree and rough areas. Both summer and winter terrains are included.
    I have added a lot of detail to the battle fields, including machine gun placements, Austrian infantry units, debris in the battle fields, and more detail in the artillery batteries.
    I have added a lot of buildings to make the cities more crowded. I repainted the existing building skins and made some new buildings.
    I have added static aircraft to all the airfields and made many changes to the buildings, objects and other details to increase diversity.
    I have added about a dozen new airfields, field hospitals, and cavalry camps.
    I revised many of the ground objects and skins, and made some new ones for this terrain. All necessary ground objects are included in the download.
    Credits
    Gerwin's TFD editor was most helpful in making this terrain. I would not have been able to do it without this outstanding utility.
    I have included many of Geezer's maintenance figures, airfield objects, and AA machine guns in this download. Geezer also made some artillery for this project.

  18. Updated Trench Textures

    I found the default trenches looking rather flat, so I enhanced the textures and added a little variation in colour. The result looks more defined, although the bitmaps still have the same size.
     
    Installation:
     
    Just unzip the files in the WWI\Terrain\WWIVerdun folder.

  19. Tridyed Productions FE Terrain Pack V1.0

    Tridyed Productions FE Terrain Pack V1.0
     
    After flying the FE sim for a few days the 1st thing I wanted was the terrainto be more vivid and not look so hazy and filtered.
     
    I have enhanced the detail of each tile and also did some 3 rendering to make things pop a bit more.
     
    As you get near the grond the detail work sill show up as more farm areas with plwed fields and rows of crops. I have added a few dirt roads here and there and changed the forest fextures to be more vibrant and have more contrast.
     
    I have added some small tree areas as well as some rocky fields and small pond area's. most areas just look alot more vivid and clearer.
     
     
    Now has the corrected installation notes. (1/13/07)
     
    Also If you want the fastest way to go between the two terrains then go Here and DL this and follow the install notes. You can then switch between the two with the flick of a button. (1/13/07)

  20. Active Battlefield for First Eagles Version 2

    This version includes a number of changes, which are explained in the readme. With these modifications, it works on my system, and I have no problem with stats. I can't guarantee you'll have the same results, as the stats problem seems to be very system dependent, and mission time seems to have an affect also. I'm reposting this because it works for me, and it might work for you. It adds a bit to immersion, so if you can get it to work, I think it's worth it. Complete installation instructions are contained in the readme.
     
    My thanks to Kesslebrut, and Geo, for the use of their ground objects. If you tinker with this, and wish to post a modified version, feel free, just don't mod the ground objects without the specific permission of the original authors.
     
    When Geo finishes his superb new German 77mm gun, and his new 75, I will post a types and targets ini update to take advantage of them. From the screenshot he posted at ThirdWire, they should be fantastic!
     
    As always, you use these files at your own risk. I hope they work for you as well as they worked for me.

  21. Spring Terrain

    This is a modification of the summer terrain by Firecage, posted with his kind permission. The color scheme is warmer and is reminiscent of the old Flying Corps Gold terrain.
     
    Many thanks to Firecage for the original summer terrain and his support and suggestions on this project.

  22. Mod to enable Max 188's Hi Res tiles in Edward's Flander's Terrain

    This small mod allows you to use Max188's stylish high resolution summer terrain with Edwards most excellent Flanders map. The installation is a bit involved, but worth the time if you like Max's tiles.
     
    What I've actually done is paint nine new tiles based on Max's high resolution originals to replace the new tile types that exist in Edward's set (all the others in Edward's terrain are like-for-like replacements of the original First Eagles set, as are Max's high resolution tiles).
     
    Thanks to Edward and Max for the inspiration and hard work that have allowed my small contribution.
     
    Enjoy!

  24. Near Clear

    Near Clear is a minor tweak that eliminates the puffy little cotton ball clouds nearby. The horizon clouds are unaffected. Simply drop the Cloud1 file into your Flight folder. If you want the cotton balls back, remove it. There will be no enduring effect on the game.
     
    I have tested it in First Eagles with and without the Expansion Pack, but I see no reason it wont work in other games in this series.
     
    Enjoy flying without the cotton balls.

  25. Revised Cambrai by Firecage

    I have a new WWICAMBRAI_TARGETS file to add a bit more realistic feel to the game.
     
    This release (more to follow) has Balloons scattered around the map by a large amount from the original release.
     
    I have added anywhere from 6-10 Balloons around the 6 major cities in the game as well as a few AAA sites in each.
     
    Every airfield will have a balloon at its corner. I wanted to make it easier to fly to and from airfields and also add to some scenery to each area.
     
    There are about 20-30 balloon recon stations that follow the front lines so at almost any point you cross no-mans land you should see at least 1 observation balloon somewhere near you.
     
    All in all there are probably around 80-100 new Balloons and AAA added, mostly balloons.
     
    Enjoy and thanks for any suggestions you may have to add to this.
     
    You need to have the 2nd expansion pack for this to work. :yes:
    This is ONLY the WWICAMBRAI_TARGETS file. Please back up your old targets.ini file before overwriting. :yes:
