Five Fokker's! March 2nd, 1916.
A mission for First Eagles.
Bucky's Quick Mission No.6: Five Fokker's! March 2nd, 1916.
============================================================
Introduction:
This mission is a re-enactment of an actual aerial combat that took place in the
early morning of Tuesday, March 2nd, 1916.
On this day, Sgt T.P.H. Bayetto (That's him in the Morane's 'Loadout' screen
photo), flying a Morane Type N "Bullet" of No.3 Squadron RFC, was escorting
a Morane BB two-seater on a long reconnaissance mission over Vallenciennes,
a few miles SW of Mons, when they were attacked by five Fokker Eindekker's.
This is how the action was described in the 'Royal Flying Corps Communiques',
a weekly written report of significant actions, produced for the RFC's internal
consumption throughout the war:
"Sgt Bayetto (Morane Scout, 3 Sqn) on escort duty to the Vellenciennes
reconnaissance, reports having been attacked by 5 Fokker's in the
neighbourhood of Vallenciennes. The reconnaissance machine dived to get
clear, but was closely followed by the hostile machines. Sgt Bayetto opened fire
on the nearest hostile machine and drove it down, apparently into the woods
near Vallenciennes. After this engagement he saw no more signs of the
reconnaissance machine and returned over Lille where he was again attacked
by 3 Fokker's. These he eventually evaded and after circling round Lille for 15
minutes, returned to his landing ground."
In actual fact, Bayetto couldn't find his comrades because they had just become
the ninth victims of the infamous German fighter ace, Max Immelmann...
The Morane BB's pilot Lt C.W. Palmer, managed to get the stricken plane down
safely despite being shot in the foot. The observer, Lt H.F. Birdwood was killed.
Palmer was hospitalised but died of septicaemia on March 29th after having his
foot amputated.
T.P.H. Bayetto was killed in an air crash in England in July 1918.
Immelmann fell to his death in controversial circumstances on June 18th, 1916.
============================================================
To set the scene:
From the time of its introduction in mid 1915, the Fokker Eindekker had only been
encountered in small numbers. Initially, it was distributed in one's and two's to the
two-seater Feldfleiger Abteilung units as an escort machine. Even so, in spite of
the relatively few Eindekker's available (only about 55 by October 1915), its impact
was considerable, inflicting heavy casualties on the RFC's slow and poorly armed
aircraft.
By early 1916, the Germans had realised that the Eindekker would be more
effective if used in greater numbers and within dedicated fighter formations which
they called Kampfeinsitzer Kommando units (KeK's).
This mission depicts the day when the RFC encountered one such unit: KeK Douai,
consisting of five Fokker E.III's...The largest number seen together up until that
time...From early March onward, the Fokker's hunted in packs! However, once the
RFC started to receive the Airco DH2 and Nieuport 11 in significant numbers in the
spring of 1916, it spelled the end of the period that came to be known as
"The Fokker Scourge".
============================================================
Mission guidelines:
Flying as Bayetto in a Morane Bullet, the mission begins at approximately 6700
feet. You're already deep inside enemy territory. Keep close to the reconnaissance
machine you're escorting, and follow him to the target.
Remember; to replicate Bayetto's actions you'll have to take out at least one
Eindekker (FYI: Max Immelmann will be in the E.III that attacks first...A chance to
alter history?), then fly over Lille on your way home...Assuming you're lucky
enough to even begin the homeward journey!
Just a few words of warning:
Archie is liable to be quite active, so you might want to jink about a bit.
More importantly...BEWARE THE HUN IN THE SUN!
============================================================
Mission requirements:
To fly this mission as intended, you'll need:
Flanders Terrain.
By Edward.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'Maps/Terrains, section.
Morane N "Bullet".
By P10ppy.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'Add On Aircraft', 'WW1', section.
BE2c.
By Capun and his team at Skunkworks
To be found at the Skunkworks site. (Registration required.)
Fokker E.III.
By Laton. Skins by V.Deutschmark. FM by Peter01.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'Add On Aircraft', 'WW1', section.
Fokker E.III, Buhme skin.
By V.Deutschmark.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'WW1 Skins', Section
PLEASE NOTE:
The BE2c has a tendency to fly at low throttle, which makes the propeller rotate
too slowly. This also makes it very hard to keep the Morane from overtaking it all
the time. Therefore, I changed the following parameters in the BE2c Data.INI
file. You may want to do the same?
I think the AI flies it much better with these settings:
[Engine]
SlowPropRPM=1200
FastPropRPM=1550
MaxPropRPM=1800
IdlePropRPM=950
For maximum realism, the mission should be played with all gameplay settings
set to 'Hard'.
Many thanks to all the above artists for their most excellent contributions to this
great game.
============================================================
Compromises and game limitations:
The No.3 Squadron reconnaissance machine in use that day was a Morane BB,
a sort of two seat biplane version of the "Bullet". This plane is not available
for FE at this time, so I've had to use the equally slow and vulnerable BE2c...
C'est la vie!
Lesser annoyances are:
Vallenciennes doesn't exist on the FE map, but the action does take place over the
same general area, so no big deal.
Hardly worth mentioning but Bayetto's Morane would not have been painted red at
this time. The order to paint the noses of all Type N's was given in mid July, during
the battle of the Somme, to minimise the possibility of the Morane being mistaken
for the Fokker Eindekker.
I've had to use V. Deutschmark's Buhme skin to depict Immelmann's E.III.
Immelmann did fly an Eindekker with a very similar paint job though.
============================================================
Installation instructions:
Install the mission by unzipping the downloaded file to the following path:
C:/Program Files/Thirdwire/WW1/Missions
Alternatively, you can drag and drop the unzipped MSN file directly into your
'Missions' folder.
============================================================
I hope you enjoy flying this mission and find it both challenging and enjoyable
enough to play it more than once...I've tried to make it as historically accurate
and authentic as the game will allow.
Feel free to change any of the parameters as you wish.
I would welcome any suggestions or general feedback, good, bad or indifferent,
via any one of the FE forums.
Best of British!
Bucky. 28/5/07

'21/4/18: The Rittmeister Falls'
A mission for First Eagles + Expansion Pack 1 + Nov 08 patch.
Bucky's Quick Mission No.10: '21/04/18: THE RITTMEISTER FALLS'
Released 21/4/09. The 91st anniversary of the action depicted in this mission.
============================================================
INTRODUCTION:
I created this mission, a re-enactment of an actual aerial combat that took place at
approximately 10:40am (Allied time), on Sunday, 21st April, 1918, to commemorate the 91st
anniversary of Manfred von Richthofen's death.
Brown, Buie, Evans, Emery or Popkin? These are the names that all have a valid claim for the
honour of shooting down the legendary 80 victory German ace, Rittmeister Manfred Freiherr
von Richthofen.
For over eighty years it was generally accepted that von Richthofen fell to the guns of
Captain A.R. Brown, DSC, of 209 Sqn RAF. Now though, although far from being conclusive,
investigative research made in the 1990's would suggest that the Baron was most likely hit
by the ground fire of Sgt. Cedric Basset Popkin, Machine Gunner 1st Class, of the 24th
Machine Gun Company, 11th Brigade, 4th Australian Division.
For Capt. Roy Brown however, the story related that during a large dogfight with German
fighters over Le Hamel, and a subsequent fast dive from 5,000 feet to evade two enemy
aircraft on his tail, Brown, flying Sopwith Camel, B7270, spotted a red Fokker Dr.I Triplane
chasing another Camel at very low level. He dived down onto the Triplane's tail and after a
short chase, fired a long burst into Richthofen's plane...
The following is part of the brief combat report submitted by Capt. Brown on the afternoon of
21st April, 1918:
"...Dived on large formation of 15-20 Albatross scouts D5 (sic) and Fokker Triplanes, two of
which got on my tail and I came out.
Went back again and dived on pure red triplane which was firing on Lieut. May. I got a long
burst into him and he went down vertical and was observed to crash by Lieut. Mellersh and
Lieut. May.
I fired on two more but did not get them."
As von Richthofen pursued Lt. May, his Dr.I was being targeted by small arms fire from
numerous Australian troops situated in various positions in the Vaux-Sur-Somme/Corbie
area, Buie, Emery, Evans and Popkin among them. At this point in the chase, things were
not looking good for the inexperienced Lt. Wilfred May, in his 209 Sqn Camel, D3326. Von
Richthofen, in his all red Fokker Triplane, serial number 425/17 was gaining on him fast and
it was only a matter of time until he brought his guns to bear on the British machine.
However, as experienced and careful a pilot as von Richthofen was, he made two fatal
errors of judgement that April morning: First, he seemingly disregarded his perilous position
by flying so low over allied lines. He then also became target fixated in the quest for his 81st
victory...It was the undoing of him.
An eye witness described what happened next:
" ...(I) heard a burst of gunfire and the Fokker stopped in its stride and did the first half of
the loop, then straightened out and fluttered down out of our sight as if doing a pancake
landing..."
Richthofen had been killed by a single .303 bullet.
We will never know with absolute certainty who it was that fired the fatal shot, but the
controversy has raged on ever since...
============================================================
TO SET THE SCENE:
At this time, Jasta 11 were based at Cappy airfield, about 20 miles east of Amiens. The
weather on the morning of the 21st had been misty and windy, which delayed the early
morning patrol. But by approximately 9:30am (Allied time) the mist had cleared sufficiently
to allow von Richthofen and five of his Jasta 11 wingmen to set off and patrol the lines.
At almost precisely the same time at Bertangles, north of Amiens, 209 Squadron were taking
to the air on a routine High Offensive Patrol.
At about 10:25 the two units clashed over Le Hamel and a large dogfight commenced,
involving some thirty plus aircraft. As a novice to aerial combat, Lt. May had been instructed
to steer clear of any trouble. This he did by heading west and diving earthward. Von
Richthofen, ever watchful, and sensing an easy kill, went after him, towards his date with
destiny...
============================================================
MISSION GUIDELINES:
Immediately the mission begins, you'll be a little over 5000 feet, with the two Fokker
Triplanes that Roy Brown mentioned in his combat report, on your tail and firing relentlessly
at you. Take quick evasive action by diving to earth, but at the same time, keep a keen
lookout for Lt. May's Camel, who meantime is being chased by the Baron...Can you reach
May in time to save him from being von Richthofen's 81st victim?
Now's your chance, flying as Capt A.R. Brown, to dispell all doubts over who killed the Red
Baron!
Be aware though, that Brown had spent most of his ammunition during the combat over Le
Hamel...So how much ammo do you have left?
============================================================
COMPROMISES AND GAME LIMITATIONS:
Unfortunately, the Flanders Terrain doesn't include the requisite towns and villages
(Vaux-Sur-Somme, Corbie, etc), so I've had to move the action about thirty miles north to
more closely replicate the real life action.
I could have used the Cambrai terrain, which does include those places but in my opinion,
the Flanders terrain is much more realistic, graphically.
There are no machine gun ground units to add to the historical authenticity either. But then,
at least there can be no arguments over who fires the fatal shot this time...
============================================================
TOO EASY?...A WORD, PLEASE:
Before I decided to upload this mission, I asked myself; is this one challenging enough? After
all, if I can succesfully dodge those two chasing Fokkers, find Lt. May, then get on the Baron's
six and take him out, all in about two minutes flat, then anybody can! Thinking about it further
though, I didn't really put this one together with the "challenge", or difficulty factor in mind...
What I really wanted to do was create as accurate an historical re-enactment of the events of
21st April 1918 as it was possible to achieve, as reported by the combatants involved, and by
latter day historians and investigators.
I have to say, that although it's very "scripted", I'm really quite pleased with the result. For
example: While the player (Roy Brown) is diving down from 5000ft, dodging fire from the
chasing Dr.I's, Lt. May will actually be pursued by von Richthofen over the village of Vaux-
Sur-Somme (well most of the time, anyway), and they'll come very close to hitting the church
tower, just as it really happened on that April morning in 1918...
What I'm trying to say here, is that in spite of its apparent simplicity, this mission has taken
me longer to get right, and caused me more problems and frustration than just about all the
others put together!
============================================================
MISSION REQUIREMENTS:
To fly this mission as intended, you'll need the following mods and skins:
Flanders Terrain.
By Edward.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'Maps/Terrains' section.
============================================================
209 Sqn, RAF Squadron skin set, which includes Roy Brown's B7270, for the Expansion Pack
Sopwith Camel.
By Quack74.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'WWI Aircraft Skins' section.
PLEASE NOTE: You'll need to place these skins in the 110 hp Camel folder.
============================================================
MvR's Fokker Dr.I, 425/17 ('MvR Last Plane') skin, for the Expansion Pack Fokker Dr.I.
By Quack74.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'WWI Aircraft Skins' section.
============================================================
'J11 Lt. von Linsingen' skin, for the Expansion Pack Fokker Dr.I.
By Quack74.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'WWI Aircraft Skins' section.
============================================================
'J11 Scholtz' skin, for the Expansion Pack Fokker Dr.I.
By Quack74.
To be found in the Combat Ace, Downloads, 'WWI Aircraft Skins' section.
============================================================
Many thanks to the above artists for their most excellent contributions to this great game.
Although not essential, for extra realism and immersion I would also recommend the
following mods, available at the Combat Ace, Downloads site:
'Thicker, Fuller Clouds'.
By ShrikeHawk.
Found in 'Maps/Terrains'. 'Environmental Mods'.
Excellent mod that greatly improves the "cotton wool ball" clouds effect.
'FE Sounds V.2'.
By yours truly.
Found in 'Sound Mods'.
'First Eagles Tracer With Smoke'
By Jan Tuma.
Found in 'FE Weapons Mods'
PLEASE NOTE:
In order to replicate the low level chase between von Richthofen and May, I found it
necessary to amend two files which govern the altitude of AI planes. Without this change
the AI planes will not fly below 100 feet or so. IMHO, this change improves the overall
game and not just this mission.
Here's how to do it:
Using the 'SFP1 CAT file Extract Utility', extract the 'MISSIONCONTROL' ini (found in the
'Mission Data.CAT) to the 'Flight' folder, open, then scroll down to [Altitude] and re-set;
'VeryLow=' to '05'.
Then extract the 'AIRCRAFTOBJECT' ini (found in the ObjectData.CAT) to the 'Objects' folder,
scroll down to [Dogfight-----] and re-set; 'SafeAltitude=' to '05'. (Make sure to change all
four entries: Dogfight; Green, Regular, Veteran & Ace.
I would also recommend using Peter01's Fokker Dr.I Flight model DATA.INI, which improves
the Triplane's manoeuvrability and aggressiveness. This FM is in the 'FM Update 3rd
September' pack, found at the Combat Ace 'WWI, Add-On Aircraft/Flight Models' section.
For maximum realism I would also recommend that this mission be played with all gameplay
settings set to 'Hard'.
============================================================
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the mission by unzipping the downloaded file to the following path:
C:/Program Files/Thirdwire/WW1/Missions
Alternatively, you can drag and drop the unzipped MSN file directly into your 'Missions' folder.
============================================================
I hope you enjoy flying this mission and find it both challenging and enjoyable enough to play
it more than once. I've tried to make it as historically accurate and authentic as the game will
allow.
Feel free to change any of the parameters as you wish.
I would welcome any suggestions or general feedback, good, bad or indifferent, via any one
of the FE forums.
Salute!

Ojcar's Armchair Aces 1916 1.3 for FE1
By Grinseed
Ojcar's Armchair Aces 1916 1.2 for FE1
The second in Ojcar's Armchair Aces Series modified for use with First Eagles 1.
Instalation is straightforward with only one difference in the preparation of the Strutters. Read both readmes to learn how to add three new aircraft to your hangar collection. You will need the practice for the forthcoming 1917 version.
Reverential hat tip to TK. Gratitude to Canadair for the batch file converter (see readme). Many thanks to Sinbad for permission to use and modify his Strutters. Salute to Ojcar for a great series.
Any problems, contact me via the forum. This download wont harm your computer, but it just might devour all your free time as you fly and die in 1916.
Cheers and Happy Landings
Grinseed
21 April 2012 I have uploaded the correct FE1 version to replace the FE2 version originally uploaded in error.
Version 1.3 Corrects airfield names to allow enlistment as Belgian pilot as per Ojcar's edit of orginal version.

"Battle of Caporetto" Ver 1.0 Part 1
By quack74
This is ONLY Part 1 of the "Battle of Caporetto" Campaign, Version 1.0, made by quack74
Part2 is a necessary download for it carries ALL the ENEMY (Austrian) aircraft files
This Campaign takes place in Northern Italy in the Fall of 1917. Austria vs Italy.
All info is in the readme files
The Vogesen terrain ( by Gepard ) is needed to run this campaign.
I highly recommend Jan Tuma's visual upgrade pack as well.
I would like to thank ***** and the skunworks A team for many of the WWI models
I would like to thank sinbad for allowing me to repost some of his Hanriot HD-1 Italian skins
I also would like to thank Gepard for the terrain and the help he gave me
And thanks to JanTuma for the beautiful terrain upgrade.
Thanks especially to all those guys that took the time to build all the aircraft and ground objects.
Without them this campaign wouldnt have come to mind. Actually Laton's Austrian and Italian planes triggered it.
They needed a place to fly. So thanks Laton.
Enjoy, quack74

"Battle of Caporetto" Ver 1.0 Part 2
By quack74
This is Part2 of the "Battle of Caporetto" campaign, Version 1.0, done by quack74
Part2 contains all the ENEMY (Austrian and German) aircraft files. Except for the Decal folders. They are all in Part1 download.
These files could not be included with Part1 only because of size.
After dowloading both Part1 and Part2 you should merge the two together to keep it all organized before installing. It could be confusing if you dont. Just copy all the aircraft files in the /Objects/ Aircraft/ folder from Part2 and paste them into the / Objects/ Aircraft/ folder in Part1. It's that easy.
Enjoy, quack74

Welcome WWI buffs! This is the first chapter in a series covering the (mostly) complete air war in Western Front in WWI. Next chapters coming in the standard two weeks!
The entire war is divided in mini-campaigns of a month-10 missions. I'm using the two stock maps plus the Vogesen map. This first chapter starts in August 1915, so until end of 1915 you'll have 50 missions per pilot! (and be in mind this is the shortest chapter)
The beauty of this approach is that you can follow your fav unit throught all maps, or you can simulate unit transfers for your pilot. You can start as a two seater pilot (as most Germans did), and then be "transferred" to a fighter unit. You can start as a RNAS pilot, and be in the RAF at the proper time, you can start in Escadrille 124 (the La Fayette escadrille) in French Army and end the war ir a USAS unit......A lot of possibilities.
This mod is intended for FE2, because in 1917 and 1918 you'll need the different Albatros, Strutters, SPADS et al with different engines that FE2 has. FE1 pilots will need to edit the campaigns to fly them, for example changing the name of the planes like AlbatrosD5_180 to AlbatrosD5....Please, don't ask me for a FE1 version. I'm doing 117 campaigns for the entire series and it's a lot of work!!!! Nevertheless, if someone want to make an FE1 version it has my agreement (if it's free for the people, of course).
So, be ready for a downloading fest.
Very important!!!! Read the Readme!!!!

Ojcar's Armchair Aces 1918 for FE1
By Grinseed
This is the FE1 version of Ojcar's last instalment of his great Armchair Aces series.
I add my thanks to all those Ojcar has named as contributors in his readme, to Canadair for his batch converter and to Ojcar himself for his work and dedication in providing such a detailed and comprehensive WW1 campaign for First Eagles.
Nothing complicated about this download which only involved a straightforward conversion of all the ini files from Unicode to Ansi, but read the readmes, both mine and Ojcar's.
In future, I will do my best to maintain FE1 versions of any FE2 updates from Ojcar.
Cheers Grinseed

The Eastern Front
By Stephen1918
Fighting on the Eastern Front in World War I was much different from the fighting in the west. The Eastern Front was much longer, troops were spread out more, and there were fewer roads and villages than in northern France and Belgium. The front moved back and forth more quickly and more often in Eastern Europe.
In the air, recon, artillery spotting, and ground attack missions were the most common. There weren't as many dogfights, and squadrons rarely went hunting for enemy planes.
The purpose of my campaigns is to capture a sense of the war on the Eastern Front. I am not trying to re-enact any particular battles. I'm just trying to create the correct mix of planes and missions to approximate the way the war was fought.
This download consists of three campaigns in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia, near the Russian Ukraine.
1915, takes place in the late spring and roughly corresponds to the German/Austrian Gorlice-Tarnow Offensive in which the Central Powers took back the land they had lost at the start of the war. (Austria on the offensive.)
1916, takes place in the summer and roughly corresponds to the Russian Brusilov Offensive in which Russian forces took back a lot of what they had lost in 1915. (Russia on the offensive.)
1917, takes place in the fall, after the Kerensky offensive and before the October Revolution and represents the closing months of the war in the east.
Notes:
Everything in these campaigns is available at the CombatAce site.
Installation instructions are in a separate file. Please read the notes for special information about some of the planes.
Credits:
Many people have made this project possible. Some of them worked directly with me, and others have made things which found their way into this campaign. In particular, I wish to thank:
ojcar for his continued support, for making all the FMs for all my planes, and for providing the inspiration for this project.
sinbad, who made some planes and several skins for the Russian planes and who beta-tested the whole thing.
quack74, for making skins, providing resource materials, and for beta testing the campaigns.
whiteknight06604, for making skins and providing resource materials for the Eastern Front.
Monty CZ and EmlD, for letting me make skins and mods for their planes.
Laton, Bortdafarm, p10ppy, christian59, and geo for their planes and ground objects.
von Deutschmark, gumpy, Saltfiskur, and gambit168 for their skins.
Peter01 for his FMs.
And thanks to everyone at Combat Ace for their support, suggestions, and inspiration.
Changes in Version 2:
I have corrected the way Squadrons are named and eliminated duplicates so all aircraft should display correctly in the menu screen.
I have replaced some planes and included new planes, skins, and ground objects.
I have adjusted all the Strategic Nodes to get ground units positioned correctly. There should be no more AA guns or troops inside buildings anymore.
I have made changes to the mission parameters for many of the planes.
I have made new start screens for the campaigns which display while the campaign is loading.

Armchair Aces over Galicia
By ojcar
Welcome WWI buffs! This new series is a compilation covering 15 months of air war in Galicia Front in WWI.
The entire war is divided in mini-campaigns of a month-10 missions. I'm using the brand new Galicia 2 terrain by Stephen1918. You'll have about 15 mini-campaigns and 150 missions per pilot!
The beauty of this approach is that you can follow your fav unit throught the war, or you can simulate unit transfers for your pilot. You can start as a two seater pilot (as most Germans did), and then be "transferred" to a fighter unit.
This mod is intended for FE2, but I think it works fine in FE with a little text edit (change all SPAD7_150 references for SPAD7 ones).

Armchair Aces over Italy
By ojcar
Welcome WWI buffs! This is a mammoth compilation of a series covering the (mostly) complete air war in Italian Front in WWI.
The entire war is divided in mini-campaigns of a month-10 missions. I'm using the shockingly beautiful CaporettoV2 map by Gterl. You'll have about 25 mini-campaigns and 250 missions per pilot!
The beauty of this approach is that you can simulate unit transfers for your pilot. You can start as a two seater pilot (as most Austro-Hungarians did), and then be "transferred" to a fighter unit.
This mod is intended for FE2. FE1 pilots will need to edit the campaigns to fly them, for example changing the name of the planes like AlbatrosD5_170 to AlbatrosD5 or something like that....Please, don't ask me for a FE1 version. I'm doing 117 campaigns for the entire series and it's a lot of work!!!! Nevertheless, if someone want to make an FE1 version it has my agreement (if it's free for the people, of course).
So, be ready for a downloading fest.
Before installing this mod it's better you have an Italy only install for your FE2

Plane Fest II - Edge of Insanity - Verdun
By Firecage
Release 1.1
06-20-09
Nov-2008 Patch required
This release does not have the added terrain mods, Balloon sets, or MG bunkers. I am waiting on a reply from the orig. designers of those mods to make sure they are good with including them in the Fest.
Take all folders (1915,1916,1917,1918) and add them to your campaign folders.
They will appear as 4 different campaigns in your drop down menu.
I tried to get accurate release dates and hopefully each lane will show up on the dates around the time of actual release.
All of the testing has been with Peter01's FM plane mods on all the planes that he has done. There are also some planes in these campaigns that peter has not done an FM for but, they worked just fine and alot of them are AI and have been tested as much as I could.
There are some planes that are not included at this time and I am looking at releasing a new version soon that may have more planes included. As it stands right now I have around 60 planes in the 4 campaigns. I usualy have some spelling errors and such so a new update should be along very soon to correct those.

FE Campaigns and Zeppelin FM for Nov 2008 Patch
By peter01
Whats in it
=======
An FM for Hinchinbrooke's L63 Zeppelin. Mainly for AI, but flyable.
Two 1916 campaigns by me. Simple, mainly so you can fly a number of planes in the 1916 period in a campaign. Update to previous ones I did for Oct 2007 version. These campaigns include Zeppelins (as AI), tanks (yeah, I know, but there is a shortage of targets), infantry.
Two great 1917 campaigns by Charles of the A-team - Bloody April and Cambrai. Modded to include newer models, quite a few heavy bombers and some other things.
Mobile AAA guns by Gr.Viper.
Armed balloons by warlordATF.
MGs based on work by Tailspin in Cambrai terrain.
37mm guns based on work by Tailspin and P10ppy, and models by A-team and P10ppy, in Cambrai and Flanders terrains.
Modded balloons to be somewhat tougher to bring down, and modded some structures so they easier to destroy - Warehouses and bridges, these are seconadry target for the Cambrai Campaigns. AAA is more effective.
There are also modded weaponsdata and gundata files to make it all work.
Installation
=======
Trying to make this as easy as possible, by linking other downloads and eliminating any need to mod files. But you do need to download work done by modellers such as terrain and guns and infantry from the original downloads. And install these in the following order, but skip the steps not needed if you already have the files.
First backup your current copy of the game, and make sure its patched to Nov 2008 (Lower RHS of main screen in game).
1) Download and install current FMs and other files ("Game Files") from http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8064 as per instructions. Note that although you do not need all the planes generally, you do need nearly all for the campaigns. You must have the "Game Files" included in that download.
2) Download and install Hinchinbrookes L63 Zeppelin here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=3617
3) Download and install Edwards Flanders Terrain. Its here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=4424. A simple install, just install everything as per instructions.
4) Download and install Tailspins Machine Gunners. Its here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6202. You only need to place the ParabellumAAA and VickersAAA in the GroundObjects folder, other changes are done in this download.
5) Download and install Tailspins/P10ppy's/A-Teams 37mm models. Its here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6165. Just install files, do not mod any files such as sound files or gundata files as described in Readme - this is done for you in this download.
6) Download and install Charles Cambrai and Bloody Appril campaigns. They are here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=4888 and here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=4860. A simple install, just install everything as per instructions.
7) Install this download LAST. Four main folders in zip file. Just drop these into your main First Eagles directory, and when prompted allow to overwrite. Note it will change gundata and weapondata files as well as other things, and that is essential.
Sounds a lot. But once you have done this not only will you have several campaigns flying most of the available aircraft, you will also have many mods that will part of your game, missions as well as Campaigns, eg, infantry from the Bloody April/cambrai campaigns, machine gunners and 37mm guns that will be present for all missions as well as these campaigns etc, Mobile AAA and Armed balloons. Makes the groundwar and balloon hunting much more interesting.
Credits

The upgrade to 2.0 contains German air units that participated in the great battle. Along with a few aces.

These German units were sent to reinforce the Austrian campaign against the Italians soon after the collapse of the Eastern (Russian) Front. These units would start to appear in September of 1917 and last till the end of February 1918.
Jagdstaffeln (fighters):
Jasta 1 - Albatros D.V
Jasta 31 - Albatros D.III
Jasta 39 - Albatros D.IIIOAW

Unsung Heroes
By ojcar
Welcome to a very different WWI campaign experience! This is a semi-fictional Floatplane campaign.
This campaign start in November 1917, in North Sea. A very interesting month, because in October the German High Seas Fleet, operating in the Baltic, assisted in capturing the islands of Oesel, Dagö and Moon (Google for Operation Albion, please). Also, in November 1917 was the Second Battle of Heligoland Bight (Google for it, please).
At the same time Germans kept on sending out their submarines and merchant raiders, Entente forces continued trying to blockade shipments to the German ports. From time to time, German Fleet units ventured out to shell the British coast in an attempt to lure British ships into a trap. And, of course, fishing ships and coastal merchants continue to operate along the German coasts. The German High Seas Fleet remains in the Baltic Sea, and Zeppelins are a menace too...As I said, very interesting times!
This campaign depicts the use of Seaplane Tenders in both sides, trying to spot the enemy ships, hunting down the Zeppelins and attacking enemy ships, submarines, and of course planes.
Thank you to Stephen1918 for all the wonderful planes, ships, airships and the wonderful terrain......And of course all the texts revision and betatesting! Stephen, you rock!
