First Eagles - WWI and Early Years 1914 - 1920

This is a skin for the Nieuport17 of No.60 Squadron. The Nieuport17's were used by No.60 Squadron from the Winter of 1916-17 till the mid-Summer of 1917. Then to be replaced by the S.E.5.
 
Original silver base skin made by Hansa.
The decals will provide a somewhat random cowl and wheel cover color according to flight.
 
Ex: The first aircraft of B Flight (B 1) will have a red cowl and the third aircraft in B Flight (B 3) will have red wheel covers
 
The First aircraft in C Flight (C 1) will have a blue cowl, etc,etc.
 
Enjoy,

5 skins representing factory finished OAW built Albatros DIII's . OAW built air-frames were finished slightly differently to standard built DIII's no rust brown paint was used , as per a directive from the air ministry in April 1917, so the 2 tone camoflage was applied, also different to the standard Albatri the camouflage was symmetrical, and also hard edged, rather than diffused.
 
I have tried to represent 2 camouflage in Green/Mauve and Green/Green , the second scheme is speculative, as it seems the Green/Mauve was more prevalent, also on the Green/Green I have made the tail cam lead -trail and not tip - tip as was more common on OAW machines, I have seen pictures of OAW machines with fore aft tail plane schemes, but that may have been a field mod done on the Jastas, but anyhow done them any how. So the Green/Green, and the Green/Mauve are mirror images of each other ( you will see what I mean when you load them up )
 
Finally I have redone the Lozenge, as I am fed up with seeing the manky dirty lozenge scheme that comes as standard with the in game Albatri, I have utilised a lighter day scheme, re done the rib tapes, etc etc etc.......anyhow, hope these aircraft fit the bill, nice clean, fresh out of the box, so not weathered at all, so if you prefer the dirty used look, please go ahead and dirty 'em up, they are a blank canvas after all.
 
Oh yeah, just repainted the upper fuselage metal bits, in the standard grey green, also the struts.
 
 
 

Enjoy !!!
 

If you downloaded the LFG Roland D.II or the LFG Roland D.IIa before October 18, 2015, these skins and decals are more accurate. If you downloaded the planes after October 18, 2015, these were included in the download.
 
Improvements:
- Removed the steps on the starboard side of the fueslage for both planes.
- Corrected the weight table decal for both planes.
- On the serial numbers, I used a different font and changed the size and spacing for both planes; and I added the "a" to the DIIa numbers.
 

Installation Instructions
New decal.ini's are included so you must delete the entire old skin folder and "D" folder and replace them with the new ones.

A first submission: Retouched canvas to include dirt and oil stains. ( Hope it's O.K. to do that, sorry if I've trodden on any toes). All credits to the excellent originals from Thirdwire.

Fokker DVIIF: Lt. Hans Joachim von Hippel, Jasta 71/1918

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.
Many sources were consulted in the preparation of these skins, including: Dr. Martin O'Connor, Air Aces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire 1914-1918, Austro-Hungarian Aces of World War 1 by Chris Chant, Mark Rolfe (Illustrator) / Paperback / Osprey Publishing (February 2002), Above the War Fronts by Norman L. R. Franks, Russell Guest, Gregory Alegi / Hardcover / Grub Street (September 1997), Windsock Datafile #19 Albatros D.III (Oef)/ Grosz/Colours & Markings by Ray Rimmel , The Aerodrome Forum, R.N. Pearson profiles and other material on line.
 
Just drop the folder in your Albatros_D3OAW folder and select the name in the texture set --Brumowski 15345Red, Brumowski 15345Sworls, etc. in the loadout screen. You can change the names 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.
 
These skins are made available only for your personal use. Please no distribution or republication of any part of these files. I’d appreciate any comments, especially with links to source material. Have fun.

Hi there,
 
in addition to the other skins comes the Nieuport 11 Skin Pack
 
Included are 4 skins:
 
1st Esc Standard Paint
1st Esc Paint with Vampire logo, flown by Abel de Neef
5th Esc Paint flown by Edmond Thieffry
5th Esc Paint with the logo "SOIT !" (means: Let it be!) flown by Paul Anciaux
 
Have fun and watch out for the Huns.
 
Cheers,
 
Hermann the Hun

Hitting the Zeppelins
 
Requires Flanders terrain and A-team Camel, but no other extras. Just drop into the Missions folder of First Eagles.
 
This mission allows a flight of Camels to take off from St Pol, attack a Zeppelin base near Zeebrugge and return home. Enemy fighters may or may not appear.

This skin set is intended for use with the excellent Eastern Front Campaign set recently released by Stephen1918. The Imperial Russian Air Service obtained Sopwith 1 ½ Strutters primarily from both England and France. Others were Russian license built French Strutters. Enclosed you will find cockpits for both the English and French versions, install one or the other as you wish (but the honor of France requires that the French aluminum and camo versions really should have the French cockpit).
 
There are also new Russian hangar and loading screens. If you want to use them, you will need to save the originals and rename these "Hangar" and "Loading"
 
This is only a skin set, so (if you have not already done so) you'll need to download and install the previously released Sopwith 1A2.
 
Sometime in the future, on a date known to no one, there will be another Strutter release with a revised aircraft as wellas new skins, (probably a 1A1) but this will do very nicely for now.
 
Enjoy

(S!) ALL hi ;-)
 
This is Captain Leslie Holden SE5a ( Red Devil ) late 1918.
 
Hats off to the guys at Third Wire for bit-mapping this so well
It was fun to work on.
 
Special thank you to my friend Bob Pearson for allowing me to put
His profile in of this plane.
 
There is also a dock from the book High Adventure that explains where
The name Red Devil came from.
 
Enjoy!!! ;-)

Frank Link-Crawford won six of his 27 victories in Alb D.III 153.11 during October and November 1917, while flying in Flik 41J. He was the fourth highest scoring pilot in the Austro-Hungarian Air Service.
 
No Hanroit HD-1s were among Linke-Crawfords confirmed or unconfirmed kills, but he was shot down and killed on July 30, 1918 by two Italian Hanriot HD.1 fighters from 81a Squadriglia. The pilot who got credit for the victory, Caporale Pilota Aldo Astolfi, had no others during the war.

This is a generic skin pack of No. 45 Squadron in mid 1917 to 1918.
No.45 Sqn first flew in France in mid 1917 and was transfered to Italy. Then to return to northern France in late (September) 1918 to finish out the war.
These Camels were covered almost entirely in PC10 with a white dumbell on the rear fuselage and up on the rear decking.
For this Camel I used the F1_130 version.
 
 
Enjoy, quack74

Morane H, in French, Belgian, and RFC colours and markings, as with my upload of the Morane H Russia, these are just a rework of the originals, I have redont the skins to accept decals, instead of the pre fixed ones, however I have included them in the upload too.
 
I have also removed the gun, as this aircraft was unarmed ( except for one prototype ) and changed the data files to reflect this, so it is only any good for recon or cas missions, it is grenade armed as per Peters FM's
 
Also I have cheated a bit, you will notice that all the lods are from the Pfalz EI, and therefore all the skins are named PfalzEI NOT MoraneH.......do not change these names otherwise you will get an albino aeroplane !!!
I have done this to allow the windscreen to show ( a bit drastic I know but the screen SHOULD be there, and it isnt present in the original Morane model) using the Pfalz lods etc, makes no difference at all to the aircraft
the only real problem I have encountered is the shadows dont work too well, if you switch them on, you get a horrible mess around the port wheel, and it is very noticeable too, so I have them set as FALSE, but that is your choice.
 
as I have said before, I have included the original skin files, along with my reworks. all the hard work on the original models and skins was done by Mr Laton, Mr Hermann the hun, and Herr Von Deutschmark, FM's are of course by Peter, any other stuff has been done by yours truly, I think I have also included all the relevant decals, sounds, and the original hanger and loading screenies too, so I hope you enjoy as much as I have enjoyed playing around with them myself, oh and I forgot to mention Mr Stephen1918 as he has helped me on several occasions, and is a wonderful help and mine of information.

Fighting continued in Eastern Europe and Russia for many years after the end of World War I. These decals are the insignia of many of the nations that were formed in the closing days of the war. Most of them fought against the Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil Wars, but many of them also fought each other at one time or another.
 
I have included decals for - Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Yugoslavia.
 
Many nations did not have standardized insignia at first and I have included variations for many of the nations. I have included a text document with notes on how and when they were used. To use these, you will probably need to tweak the decal ini's for existing planes. How and when insignia are reversed on opposite sides of the plane changes from nation to nation, and the horizontal tail stripes will need to be adjusted.
 
 
Terms of Use
You may use these decals for your own personal use.
You may include these decals with any skins you upload for First Eagles at Combat Ace. Please give me credit.
You may NOT include these decals with skins you upload at any other site.

Terrain builders can use these to add some detail to the battlefields in their terrains. Using two of the craters from the First Eagles Objects.cat file, I have created a new smoke effect and made entries for the Types.ini so that these can be added to the Targets.ini of any terrain.
 
There are two different sized craters, and two different sized smoke effects. I used my Galicia2 terrain for testing. I added craters to the Targets.ini following the Ground_Attack routes from the Movement.ini. Now when I fly Army Cooperation missions I see a pretty active battlefield.
 
Installation should be self explanatory: Add the two effects to your Effects folder, add the two LOD and the BMP files to your terrain folder, add the types data to your Types.ini, then place the crater positions in your Target.ini.
 
I want to thank Wrench for his support and encouragement.

This is a skin pack for the Bristol Scout models C1, C, D1, D.
 
Thanks to Capun1950 for permission to use the skin template. And thanks to the entire SFP1 A-Team for providing the Bristol Scout models models.
 
These skins and decals were created by quack74. Not for profit nor intent to sell. Only as a download for those who are registered at SFP1 A-Teams Skunkworks site,(http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/) and have downloaded the Bristol Scout models.
 
These Bristol Scouts are from early 1916 to early 1917.
 
The folder names pretty much explain the squadron names. I dont know any other info on Scout squadrons and their markings.

The Lebed 7 was a Russian copy of the British Sopwith Tabloid. It was produced in 1915 and was intended to be used as a fighter. But with an 80hp Gnome engine and wing warping controls, it was quickly outclassed and was used primarily for recon and later for training.
 
The Lebed 7 was shipped from the factory unarmed. The British plane had a machine gun mounted on the upper wing, so it isn't unreasonable to think that a Russian pilot might have tried mounting a gun on his plane. I have made a (possibly fictitious) version of the plane with a Lewis gun mounted on the top wing. 
My Lebed 7 has a fully functional cockpit, three skins - a grey paint and two clear doped linen, and a full set of number decals. My skinning templates are included.
The plane comes with a helmeted Russian pilot; instructions for installing the pilot are included. Or you can change the data.ini to use one of the stock FE pilots.
Many years ago Nixou recorded a a large number of sounds for First Eagles. I have included the sound file for the 80 hp Gnome Monosoupape engine, but you may already have it.

Credits
Thanks to Ojcar for making the data file for the Lebed 7.
Thanks to Nixou for making the sound file for the Gnome 80 hp engine.

Installation Instructions
For FE1 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "Lebed7" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. 
For FE2 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "Lebed7" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "Lebed7". Move the folder named "D" from your Aircraft/Lebed7 folder into the Decals/Lebed7 folder you just made. 

In case you don't already have it, I have included the sound file for the 80 hp Gnome engine. Move the file named "gnome80m4.wav" from my Sounds folder into your Sounds folder.
You may not need to install the pilot with helmet, it has been available for download for some time and has been included with other planes. In case you don't already have it, I have included the pilot and instructions for installing it in a separate folder included in this download.
