"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.
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 of the basic paint scheme. 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:
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDIIL_cockpit.ini
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
To look like this
CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDIIL_cockpit.ini
//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini
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”.
As usual, place the skin folder in the AlbDIIL 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 other aircraft for First Eagles. Without his work, this model and many others would be just pretty pictures.

17-Pack of Albatros Models
By quack74
This is a mix of D.IIIOAW, D.V, and D.Va albatros skins. All with fairly accurate Jasta markings. Some models will share the same Jasta markings. This is so different planes can be used at the same time. Also they will match some of the Pfalz D.IIIa's done by me as well.
There are 17 skins in this download. Too many to list here. But it's all in the readme file inside.
Enjoy, quack74

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.
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 AlbDII.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:

There are a number of tweaks which have been identified since the first skin in this set was released. Rather than presenting a series of revisions requiring multiple downloads, when all the skins in the series are released, there will be a consolidated update including all improvements.

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.

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:
//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 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”.
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.

Alb D.II Li Karl Schafer Kasta 11

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.

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!

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.
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.

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.

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.

Alb DVa Leutnant Walter Böning Jasta 19
By sinbad
This skin depicts the camo and markings on Albatros D.Va flown by Leutnant Walter Böning with Royal Prussian Jasta 19, his first assignment, where he downed 6 enemy aircraft between April and October 1917. It has often been misidentified as a plane he flew with Jata 76 later in his career. More than one source incorrectly suggests blue and white Jasta 76 markings (and I did a draft in those colors). Greg VanWyngarden and Bob Pearson both hold what I believe is the better view, rendered here, with the yellow and black horizontal stabilizer of Jasta 19 and red trim for the fuselage markings.

Albatros C.III 766/16 Bohme/Lademacher
By sinbad
The Bohme/Lademacher Dragodiles The markings, logos, and numerals are those that appeared on the Alb C.III flown by Lt. Erwin Bohme and his observer Fritz Lademacher. The evidence available (three photos and the text of a letter from Bohme to his girlfriend) strongly indicate that the Dragodiles were white.
When I started this project I thought that the beasts might have been a light green or yellow-green.
It took some time to get it, but after I read the Bohme letter describing the images as “”ghosts” I decided they really were white.
That is why the default is the ghostly white.
I still included the less authentic, but more colorful greenies.
If you prefer the more colorful version, simply delete (or rename) the Decals file, and then copy and rename the"Decals Green Dragodiles" to "Decals".
Both decal sets are in the folder and should be left there. The green and yellow/green beasts should now appear. If you want to switch back, reverse the process. (That's why you didn't dump the original file!)
The Wood and Linen Alternative
This skin set uses the original decals provided by Stephen1918 that generate a varied set of markings derived from original German units and numerals.
None of the part numbers on the struts, elevators, wings, etc. are adjusted. Please back up your original “Wood and Linen files before using these as they will overwrite the originals. The logo on the prop is the earliest version of the Axial logo. Loading, Loadout and Hangar Screens. The loading and hangar screens are in the main file set along with the skins.
The loadout screen is in the Menu folder, and will replace the stock loadout screen for all aircraft. If you prefer the original, just delete it. Thanks to Stephen 1918 for a great model!
All files are set up for use in FE2.
If you need help getting this package to run in FE1, let me know.

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.
The personal fuselage markings, lower wing colors and national markings all closely depict the emblems and national insignia on the reference aircraft.
All skins, indeed all models are at best approximations, and my time machine is still not operational.
Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin available as a template, and to BortdaFarm for the original model. This revision of the earlier release is improved and updated thanks to advice for improvements from Southside Bucky.

This is a re imagining of my original Albatros DI upload from last week, I wasn't 100% happy with the original skin of the Crown Princes mount, so I decided to tweak and twiddle a little, the result i think is far far better.
So, included in this package, are the 2 original skins for Prince Von Prueben, both the all over Sea Green, and the version with camouflaged wings and horizontal stabiliser, along with the red and the black alternative Brunswick Hussars motif. As there were only 50 D I airframes produced, as this model was swiftly superseded by the D II the range of markings and schemes are rather sparse, so, the next scheme is my interpretation of the "standard" factory finish, Ply with Camouflaged wings and stabilisers, I have also set the skin to be numbered as this seems to be historically correct, the serial numbers are NOT going to be accurate , but they are aesthetically pleasing, and around the correct range for the time. The last 2 skins are for Jasta 5 machines, in a rather natty all over Green/Brown cam scheme, I am assuming that all the Jastas airframes were painted this way, but as there is scant to no information ( that I have seen ) on early Albatri, one maybe needs to allow for a little artistic licence on my behalf , the last skin though, is what gave me the idea that all Jast 5's D i's were painted as such, this scheme is the aircraft of Karl Spitzhoff, of Jasta 5 , it differs somewhat from the standard jasta schem, in so much as the tail fin was apparently replaced at some time, and was painted the under surface blue, however, the orginal aircraft serial, it appears, was cut and pasted from the original fin, as the serial number is applied over the camo of the original, the bloke who painted the serial numbers was obviously on leave at the time, and the crew chief took the swiftest and laziest option, I personally dont like it, I think it looks naff, so I have included the standard fuselage from the other Jasta 5 schemes in the skin folder.
There were a few other variations I fancied doing, but a lot of the photos, are a little un clear, and i wasn't convinced they were all D I's but in fact D II's , so I chose not the do those and stuck with what we have.
OK, so the final bit is, as per the original upload from last week, I have included all the guns, pilots, sounds and decals needed for these skins, you WILL need to download Stephen 1918's most excellent model these skins will NOT work on Borts original D I !!!
I have included both DATA.ini files, the original that came with the aircraft, and the updated one by Von S , with Ocjars FM , which is derived from Peter's FM's , also the updated hit boxes by my good friend Nick Bell.
The Guns are set to the early Spandau lmg 08 ( which isnt the same as the LMG 08 !! ) so it fires really slowly 400 -450 rpm, also the correct sound file to reflect this, both originate from Mr Von S , the Pilot is a work of art, done by the great Geezer, I wish he would make more pilots !! (hint hint ) I have just tweaked it a little, but these guys did all the hard grind work, I just pretty things up a bit ( or at least attempt to) Anyhow, please enjoy this aircraft, I shall be looking at doing addition skins for other types as I go along
ENJOY !!
