First Eagles - WWI and Early Years 1914 - 1920

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

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.

=-=-=-=-= Nieuport.28 skin and data pack for the 1rst Pursuit Group =-=-=-=-=
 
 
All Skin work and all decal work done by Quack74.
Feel free to add to these skins as you please. If reposting any of these parts with your new work, just throw a little credit my way. It took a long time to make these. Thanks.
 
 
I would like to thank EmlD for creating the N.28 model some years ago and posting it for us at CombatAce.com.
 
 
I have created a completely new skin for the N.28 along with numerous decals to create the 4 USAS Aero Squadrons that, together, form the USAS's 1rst Pursuit Group.
 
1. 27th Aero Squadron - Flying Eagle in red circle
2. 94th Aero Squadron - Hat In The Ring
3. 95th Aero Squadron - Kicking Mule
4. 147th Aero Squadron - Terrier "Who Said Rats?"
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Nieuport.28 was the sole aircraft used by the American pursuit group from the
Late Winter of 1918 until the first week of August 1918 when The 1rst Pursuit
Group was re-equipped with the SPADXIII. When first delivered the N.28's were
unarmed. Some of the first frontline flights were done with unarmed aircraft in
March. More or less done to familiarize pilots with the type and the "Front"
itself. It wasn't until March 28, 1918 that the Squadrons began to receive guns
for their planes. But just enough to mount one per plane. The Nieuport.28's were
also Notorious for shedding their upper wing fabric do to poor glue quality.
stemming from the factory's lack of quality control. Few pilots had indeed lost their
lives do to this defect.

Lt. Von Raben Fokker Dr.1 blue and white :D

Hi guys here's a couple of new Pfalz skins, I have a lot of psd's at about 99% finished but I cant seem to stop from fiddling about with them !!!!!
but i'm happy that these r finished enough to post LOL

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.

this plane of Waldo peper or the captain franc madden of the movie the great waldo pepper :D

This download will create the Naval 10 (10RNAS) Triplanes used in the Spring and Summer of 1917.
 
Decals are used to create all three flights of Naval 10
 
A Flight - red
B Flight - black
C Flight - blue
 
There are 15 different color schemes. Each Flight has 5 aircraft color schemes.
 
Enjoy, Quack74

Hi Guys I thought as its 96 years to the day that MvR & Lanoe Hawker had there deadly duel in the skies of northern France, & sadly Major Hawker VC lost his life at the hands of the "Red Baron" when a bullet struck him in the back of the head killing him instantly, causing his dh2 to spin in from about 1000 feet,
 
i thought last night i could skin MvR's DII flown on this day, in that engagement, to add to the Boeckle skin I was going to upload
 
 
Hope U Like Um
Have fun

Since there is a Part 1 and a Part 2 to my original Aviatik D.I skin packs I'll call this one "Part 3"
 
There are three new ( Well, updated ) Aviatik-Berg D.I skins for two different models. I have continued the Hexagon camouflage
pattern on the fuselage up onto the forward metal cowl panels. I only did three versions (takes too long to do more).
 
One pack is for the Aviatik-Berg D.I ( Late ) with the two Schwarzlose guns mounted in the forward Cockpit
 
The other is for the Aviatik-Berg D.I ( Early ) with the Schwarzlose guns mounted in each side of the forward Cowling. Can be
added to my earlier Aviatik Skin packs 1 and 2.
 
Both model versions can be found in the FE download section under Aircraft Models.
 
The Aviatik-Berg D.I models were created by Stephen1918.
 
Enjoy,
Quack74

Fokker Dr.1 used to recreate the last flight of the Red Baron in the documentary program Unleashed History released in 2002 , of the channel Discovery Channel :P

the plane flown by Ernst Kessler in the movie the great waldo pepper :D

This package contains Skin and Decal folder for Stephen1918's Hans-brandenburg C.I models HBC1_200 and HBC1_230. Both found here at Combatace in the First Eagles download section under Aircraft Models.
 
The Purpose of this download is to create the hexagon style camouflage used on the Hansa-Brandenburg C.I in 1917-1918. I have never seen a picture of a C.I marked in this way but I have read documentation that it has been done on several models identified by thier serial numbers.
 
Colors and patterens are somewhat speculative. These skins are Not entirely fictional.
 
Enjoy,
Quack74
