Stropp
By gumpy
This is a skin of a Albatros DVa that was operational with Jasta 46.It was captured and put on display in Texas for a time it now can be seen at the Smithsonian.It is believed the Stropp Albatros DVa was the aircraft of Uffz Erich Gürgenz flying for JASTA 46 from 10/02/18 till 04/04/18 He achieved 1 victory on 12 march 1918 a SE5a.He was killed in action on 04/04/18 over Liéramont airfield.As far as I can ascertain these facts cannot be verified other sources say the pilot of Stropp Albatros DVa is unknown.For the skin I used the template and some parts from the skins from the expansion I hope TK and Thirdwire approve and I thank them.The other details I added with Photoshop.

Alb DI Prince Friedrich Carl
By sinbad
This skin set depicts the Albatros D.I flown by Prince Friedrich Carl of Prussia when he was forced down on March 21, 1917; he died of wounds suffered attempting to reach the German lines. There is no doubt (because von Tutchek described it) that the fuselage was painted light green. Some suggest that the field on the fuselage emblem might be red, but it seems to me the better evidence is that the field was black. An additional emblem was on the spinner, but I have not found a way to mount that, given the skin of this model. It would be impossible to see in the air, unless the prop was stopped! The serial number of this plane was painted over and is not known.
The files attached include hangar and loading screens.
Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin set available as a template, to BortdaFarm for the original model, and to Southside Bucky for advice for improvements. I have included a cockpit adaptation of the Albatross D3 model from the First Eagles Expansion pack. The cockpit mod will not work unless you have the expansion pack. If you do not have the expansion pack yet, you can still use this skin. All you need to do is go into the AlbDI.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
To look like this
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
(Yes, these references are supposed to read AlbatrosDII not DI). Alternatively you can download the full cockpit mod from CA.
The FM by Peter01 is intended for use without the April 08 patch.
In addition to the skins, there a sound file which was recorded from a running Mercedes engine. If you prefer the original sound, simply change the lines in the data.ini file which refer to “PropLoopMercedes” to “PropLoop”.
This fileset is complete, and includes everyting necessary to load the BortdaFarm Alb DI. If you have other Alb DI skins, place the skin folder in the AlbDI folder and select it in the loadout screen to fly the skin.
This skin set is the final skin of a series presented to acknowledge the dedication and continuing hard work of Peter01 who has given us outstanding flight models for so many other aircraft for First Eagles. Without his work, this model and many others would be just pretty pictures.

Alb D.IIL Scheller Jasta 19
By sinbad
This skin set depicts Albatros D.II D.1729/16 which was flown with Jasta 19 by a pilot named Scheller, first name unknown. Scheller was credited with four victories, which makes his partial identification a bit more interesting. If you have more information about this plane or pilot, pleease let me know.
This is one of the later versions of the D.II with the central wing mounted radiator. The D.IIL designation is used in the game, but was not used in 1917 by the Germans.
The files attached include all files necessary to load and fly the Alb D.IIL, including hangar and loading screens.

"Jasta99"
By sinbad
This skin set depicts “Jasta99” a squadron (really a Jagdgeschwader) of Albatros D.IIL’s which is not authentic, but will give you over 99 different sets of automatically generated personal markings which actually appeared on one German plane or another during the war (some may even have actually appeared on an Alb D.II – but I will not certify that!). The serial numbers on the tail are authentic serial numbers but bear no relationship to the personal markings. All in all, you get plenty of colorful adversaries, or personal aircraft. The individual markings are drawn from the base set which comes with the game. I did not create them, so once more we can thank TK for the possibilities he gives us.
The files attached include hangar and loading screens.

Alb D.IIL Rudolph Weckbrodt Jasta 26
By sinbad
This skin set depicts Albatros D.II D.1777/16 of Vizefeldwebel Rudolf Weckbrodt with Jasta 26. The serial number is correct within the range of aircraft delivered, but speculative. If you can identify it more precisely, please let me know.
Weckbrodt was credited with two victories before he was shot down on 14 Oct 1917 while flying an Alb D.V with Jasta 26. This is one of the later versions of the D.II with the central wing mounted radiator. The D.IIL designation is used in the game, but was not used in 1917 by the Germans.

Alb D.IIL Otto Gerbig
By sinbad
This skin set depicts Albatros D.II D.1782/16 of Vizefeldwebel Otto Gerbig (NOT Herbig) of Jasta 14. This is one of the later versions of the D.II, with the central wing mounted radiator. Some believe that this plane was refitted with the wing radiator, after initially flying with the Windhoff “Elephant Ears.” Gerbig was credited with four victories before he was mortally wounded near Passchendale on 18 August 1917.

Alb D.II Erich Kohler
By sinbad
This skin set depicts Albatros D.II of Jasta 9, flown by Vzfw. Erich Kohler from February to May 1917 at Leffincourt. The serial number D.520/16 is somewhat speculative. It is correct within the series delivered at that time, but the specific number is not known. Vzfw Kohler transferred to Idfieg in May 1917. I find no record of him flying again.
The files attached include hangar and loading screens (the latter depicting this aircraft). That image appears to display a darker finish, but this is misleading as the nature of the film used darkens the colors.

Alb D.II Jasta 14 White Bird
By sinbad
This skin set depicts the Albatros D.II flown by an unidentified pilot with Jasta 14 in late 1916 and early 1917. If you can identify the pilot, please let me know. This aircraft was license built by LVG, and carries the LVG logo and camo scheme. The werk number D. 1747/16 is possible (as one source suggests), but not certain as this plane also flew with Jasta 5; perhaps it was reassigned and repainted.
The camo pattern and colors, personal fuselage markings, lower wing colors and national markings all closely depict the emblems and national insignia of the reference aircraft. All skins, indeed all models, are at best approximations, and my time machine is still not operational. This skin set uses an unusual number of decals to obtain appropriate texture and color; consequently the bmps do not show up in the form normally expected on the model.
The files attached include loading and hangar screens.
Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin set available as a template, to BortdaFarm for the original model and to Southside Bucky for advice which made the paint scheme more accurate. I have included a cockpit adaptation of the Albatross D3 model from the First Eagles Expansion pack. The cockpit mod will not work unless you have the expansion pack.

Albatros D. II Robert Dycke Jasta 16b
By sinbad
This skin set depicts the Albatros D.II flown by Lt.Robert Dycke, of Jasta 16b in late 1916 and early 1917. This aircraft was made under license by LVG, and the camo differs from the Albatros built aircraft. The LVG planes were numbered from D.1024 through 1061, but the actual serial number of this plane is not now known. Photos and all profiles I have seen of the plane do not depict it on the stabilizer. The files attached include loading and hangar screens.

Alb D.II Jasta 5 Default Skin Set
By sinbad
This is a default skin set depicting the Albatros D.II as flown by Jasta 5 in 1916 and early 1917.
The skins will generate random aircraft identification letters and numbers on the fuselage sides and lower wings as well as werk numbers D.XXX on the vertical stabilizer. The letters and numbers are all authentic, but it was not possible to co-ordinate the two in large part because the squadron often changed the identification number/letters for the same aircraft, e.g. D.1799/16 carried both A and D as identification letters at different times. Nevertheless, the werk numbers are those of aircraft which actually flew in Jasta 5 during this period. Occasionally you will see an aircraft without any ID, as sometimes occurred.
The camo pattern and colors, personal fuselage markings, lower wing colors and national markings all closely depict the emblems and national insignia of the reference aircraft. To the extent possible the skins are based on photographs and reliable research sources, particularly Dan San-Abbot. There were variants of the camo markings in Jasta 5 during this period, most notably with differing colors for aircraft made by three different manufacturers (Albatros, LVG and OAW) and even for the rudder and vertical stabilizer as made by a single company as a result of field modifications. I chose the version which I felt looked best.
Even in 1917, some of the Jasta 5 aircraft still carried the 1916 style national markings, with a full white square surrounding the black crosses, rather than the narrow white surrounds; this set uses wide 1917 style bright white surrounds.
In response to requests, I have included variations of the national markings used in testing. If you prefer a “smudged” look for the white surrounds on the black crosses, simply edit the decal.ini entries which look like this:
FilenameFormat=AlbatrosDII\D\Insignia006T
To look like this:
FilenameFormat=AlbatrosDII\D\Insignia006.
All skins, indeed all models, are at best approximations, and the replacement parts for my time machine still have not been delivered. Consequently this work probably includes some material which is not authentic, as well as some which is.
The files attached include loading and hangar screens.
Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin set available as a template, and to BortdaFarm for the original model. Thanks also to Southside Bucky for comments and advice on the beta versions which improved earlier versions.
I have included a cockpit adaptation of the Albatross D3 model from the First Eagles Expansion pack. The cockpit mod will not work unless you have the expansion pack. If you do not have the expansion pack yet, you can still use this skin. All you need to do is go into the AlbDII.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:

As usual, place the skin folder in the AlbDII folder. Jasta 5 should then appear as the default skin set.
This skin set is part of a series presented to acknowledge the dedication and continuing hard work of Peter01 who has given us outstanding flight models for so many other aircraft for First Eagles. Without his work, this model and many others would be just pretty pictures.

Decal Update for Max Bohme Alb D.II White 8
By sinbad
This is a replacement decal set for the Max Bohme White 8 Albatros D.II posted September 14.
The original decal set runs fine for White 8 but includes files which corrupt the Jasta 5 default decal set. If you downloaded the Max Bohme skins before the update, just drop these decals in over the decal file and everything should then be AOK. Alternatively you can add the Jasta 5 set on top of the first Max Bohme set.
The decal sets for these models are unusually complex. A WIP fileset was released in error.
Sorry about that!

Alb D.II Max Bohme Jasta 5
By sinbad
This skin set depicts the Albatros D.II D.910/16 (OAW) flown by Lt. Max Bohme with Jasta 5 in late 1916 until 3 March 1917, when it was shot down and taken into Allied hands. This aircraft was made under license by OAW, and the camo differs from the Albatros and LVG built aircraft. There is a relatively good photographic record of this aircraft, particularly the fuselage, but questions remain regarding some details. The files attached include loading and hangar screens.
The personal fuselage markings, wing and fuselage colors and national markings all closely depict the reference aircraft. There are several known flaws: (1) the prop displays as metal, rather than wood; changing that would also have required wood struts but the original struts were grey painted, since we see those more than the prop before it spins, the choice was easy; (2) the cowl is brighter and more “metallic” than I would prefer, but limitations in the original skin do not permit a more subdued display; (3) there are certain variations and gaps in the colors, again forced by the form and fit of the original bitmaps. There may be others. All skins, indeed all models are at best approximations, and despite extensive reprogramming, my time machine still fails to boot up properly.
Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin available as a template, to BortdaFarm for the original model and to Southside Bucky for constructive and timely advice for improvements of earlier versions.
An adaptation of the Albatross D3 cockpit from the First Eagles Expansion pack is included. The cockpit mod will not work unless you have the expansion pack. If you do not have the expansion pack yet, you can still use this skin with the original. All you need to do is go into the AlbDII.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
To look like this
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
Alternatively you can download the cockpit mod from CA.
In response to requests, I have included alternative national markings. This version has a bright white surround around the national markings. If you prefer a “smudged” darker white surround, edit the decal.ini entries from INSIGNIA006T to read INSIGNIA006.
The FM was done by Peter01 and is intended for use without the April 08 patch.
In addition to the skins, there a sound file which was recorded from a running Mercedes engine to be dropped into your Sounds folder. If you prefer the original sound, simply change the lines in the data.ini file which refer to “PropLoopMercedes” to “PropLoop”. That is the only change I made to the FM.
As usual, place the skin folder in the AlbDII folder and select it in the loadout screen to fly the skin.
This skin set is part of a series presented to acknowledge the dedication and continuing hard work of Peter01 who has given us outstanding flight models for so many aircraft for First Eagles. Without his work, this model and many others would be just pretty pictures.

The September 15 update changes only the decal set. The earlier version runs AOK as White 8 but included files which corrupted the decals used with the Jasta 5 default set. Of course these are intended to be used together. A separate download of just the decal set will be posted for those who do not want to DL the entire file set. Sorry about that!

Julius Arigi Alb D.III Oef
By sinbad
Julius Arigi (1895-1981) was the second highest scoring ace in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Unlike most aces, Arigi was an NCO. On August 22, 1916, enemy aircraft were reported to be approaching the Flik 6 airfield. Arigi sought permission to take off and attack them. Because there were no officers available, to fly with him as observers, permission was denied. Acting against direct orders, Arigi took off with another NCO in his in his Hansa-Brandenburg C.I and shot down 5 enemy Farmans in less than one half hour. He survived the war, as the most highly decorated NCO in the Austrian Army Air Service, with 32 confirmed victories. No Hanroit HD-1s were among them.
My time machine is no longer operational. These skins are interpretations, well-grounded interpretations, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws. I am aware of two variations from the photos and other sources. The rudder depicted is round at the trailing edge, rather than the straight. Both rounded and straight rudders were used on Alb D.III’s, but I would have preferred to use the straight edge type because there are photos of this plane which clearly show the straight edged rudder. Available models do not offer the straight rudder. Some Alb DIII OEF were filed modified by removal of the prop spinner, because some came loose in flight. Again the available models do not offer this variation. Modifications of this magnitude beyond my present skill. If you can do it, please contact me.

Brumowski Alb D.IIIOAW 15352 Sworls Revised
By sinbad
Godwin Brumowski (1889-1936) had the most confirmed (35) and unconfirmed (8 downed behind enemy lines) victories among Austria-Hungary's pilots. Brumowski began flying on the Italian front in the spring of 1916. Beginning in April 1916, he got five confirmed victories flying the Albatros B.1, Hansa Brandenburg C-1 and D-1. After studying tactics with Jasta 24 from March 19-27,1917 on the Western Front he returned to the Italian Front and took command of Flik 41J, Austria-Hungary's first true fighter squadron. In August 1917 Brumowski got his first Albatros, D.III Oef 153.06, with a natural finished plywood fuselage topped by green and mustard sworl camo.. In October 1917 Brumowski began flying 153.45, painted red in admiration for Manfred von Richthoven. From November 1917 to April 1918 Brumowski flew 153.52 and 153.45. Initially both were all red with the famous Totenkopf skulls. Sometime during this period, mustard yellow sworls were applied over the red. From November 1917 on, Flik 41J marked their planes with yellow-and-black wheel discs. On February 1, 1918 Alb 153.45 suffered heavy damage in combat and an in flight fire. Three days later, Alb 153.52 was totally destroyed after barely surviving combat with eight British fighters. Alb 153.45 was repaired and flown through April, when it appears to have been retired. In June 1918 Brumowski was flying 153.209 when he was grounded. I found no photos showing the sworl pattern on 153.209. By October 1918, Brumowski was flying a dark brown desk with a green blotter, in command of the Austro-Hungarian air force operating along the Isonzo.
No Hanroit HD-1s were among Brumowskis confirmed or unconfirmed kills.
The Totenkopf, or death head images on the fuselage, and the crosses on the rudder were carefully reproduced from photographs for the aircraft (153.45, 153.52 and 153.209) in this series. The sworled camo is the final rendition of many variations attempted after comparison with photos and other research. All four aircraft and all six paint schemes are included in this series. Choose your favorite.
My time machine is no longer operational. These skins are interpretations, well-grounded interpretations, but certainly a mix of accuracy and flaws. I am aware of two variations from the photos and other sources. First, some Austrian pilots removed the spinner caps because these occasionally came loose in flight. Second, the rudders depicted are round at the trailing edge, rather than the straight. Both rounded and straight rudders were used on Alb D.III’s, but I would have preferred to use the straight edge type as that is depicted in most photos of Brunowski aircraft. Available models offer neither the straight rudder nor the spinner free versions. Modification of these parts is beyond my present skill. If you can do it, please contact me.

My apology to those who had problems with the earlier download of this skin. The naming convention was not correct.
You can change the name if you like, but be careful; only two words or combination of words and numbers are permitted. There is no need to edit the ini.
