First Eagles - WWI and Early Years 1914 - 1920

This is a Roland DVIa flown by Ltn Otto Kissenberth of Jasta 23b in late 1918.
 
 
 
Enjoy, quack74
 
 

This is a repaint of the SE5a to add a bit of detail and definition to the model and make it appear more 'green' as SE5as occasionally did when the PC dope was mixed differently. I have painted on the fuselage side lacing with more definition and put new creases into that covering based on photographs of a few SE5as. The wings have been repainted to show a more realistic wear effect on the rib stitching and where the main spar contacts the covering. On the underside, I have attempted to emulate the translucent effect of clear doped linen to show the wing spars and ribs, as well as a bit of dirtying up having been added. I've made it look as though a minor repair has been effected on the starboard lower wing covering from a few bullet holes having been patched, although this is very minor and not over the top, merely to add some interest. Overall, the skin has been given a bit of general wear and tear, although the appearance of the aircraft is still relatively well cared for, just showing a bit of typical scuffing from a few week's worth of service. The wheel fairings have had the tire valve access hole added and the spokes made visible inside the wheel. There are a couple of other minor texture tweaks too, such as a recolouring of the wing struts and undercarriage stanchion fairings, based on observations of the Shuttleworth Collection's SE5a.
 
Instructions for installation are included in a small read me file, although there's nothing complicated about installing it, Al 'Chock' Bradbury.
 
Have fun, feel free to mess with it or redistribute it (keeping in mind Third Wire's rules), and bag a Hun for me. Chocks away chaps, jolly good show!

Named a beta, it has everything needed for some quick action, or maybe even a campaign if someone would be so kind to make one.
Included are several cities, some with port facilities, few scattered army camps, about a dozen aerodromes for both sides, new high resolution tileset, and some additional new objects.
 
Read the readme about additional info.
 
Requires Iron Duke by Hinchinbrook.

This is a set of new reworked seasonal textures, together with custom hand placed trees and buildings, created to enhance the look and feel of default First Eagles Verdun terrain and "Expansion Pack 1" Cambrai. For Cambrai sector the large empty grass areas (the so called "rough" textures) have been replaced with new irregular fields.

This is a skin for the fokker D8.
My template was a picture of a modelplane which I´ve found in the internet. As base for my skin I´ve used the Stock-skin.
Unfortaintly I don´t know the Jasta or the pilot. Mabey someone can help?
 
Please read the readme for the instalation!
 
I hope you like the Skin!
Enjoy it!

This is a 6-pack of Jasta 23b Albatros D.V's.
Used from mid 1917 to 1918.
 
 
1. Otto Kissenberth (black fuselage)
2. Ltn. Heinrich Seywald ("S" ensignia on fuselage side)
3. Ltn. Theodor Rumpel (green fuselage)
4. Ltn. Theodor Rumpel (orange-red fuselage)
5. Ltn. Friedrich Ritter von Roth (black and white circle on fuselage sides)
6. Jasta23b Black (generic Jasta 23b D.V with black tail and white banding). Can be used along with the stock Jasta 23b D.V with only the white band.
 
I left the stock Lozenge Camo on the wings. Seems a bit dark but I would be guessing at a right shade.
 
 
Enjoy, quack74

This is a 2 pack of Camel skins that can be used in all three Camel folders.
 
They are just simple colored versions of the stock RAFBrown1 skin.
 
1. RAFBrown Red (red nose and wheels)
2. RAFBrown Blue (blue nose and wheels)
 
They can fly along with the RAFBrown1 skin as "B flight" and a "C flight".
 
Enjoy, quack74

This is a 6-pack of Naval 9 Sopwith Camels.
 
They are for the CamelF1-130.
 
The Pilots are unknown. (To me anyway)
 
They served 9RNAS in Northern France from late 1917 to early 1918.
 
Each skin is named for the shape on the rear fuselage or upper wing.
There are two generic versions of Naval 9 Camels included. I'm sure there werent only 4 Naval 9 Camels. So here are two more to add to the flight.
 
1. Naval 9 Circles
2. Naval 9 Diamonds
3. Naval 9 X
4. Naval 9 Triangle
5. Naval 9 Stock Blue (blue cowling) ---- generic
6. Naval 9 Stock --- generic

This is set of new effects created for First Eagles, to give some new look to the stock effects.
Nothing big, just some impovements to original ones, together with new graphics.
Replaces most of originals.
Includes new smaller tracers, they don't have that laser look anymore, but are visible from shorter distances.

Paul Tarascon's first of the 'Zigomar' series of aeroplanes.
 
All credits to Monty CZ's original model, one of my favourites.
 
This is a large skin file but does work on my PC which is so old it was probably built at around the same time as the original aeroplane.
Load the skin in the usual way to your Nieuport 11 folder and adjust the texture set number to correspond.
 
The screenshot has Geezer's excellent Narrow Pilot, (re-skinned with moustache), in the cockpit.
(A bit of positioning adjustment to the Nieuport data file needed).
 
I haven't included it with this upload. I will do so if allowed by the original author. The Nieuport at the moment uses the standard FE pilot.
 
Again many thanks to the original creators FE and all the other 3D modellers, skinners etc.

This "mod of a mod" includes some extra tiles for Max188's high-res summer set. I've also tried to blend the two extra full town tiles in better with the other town tiles.
Included are the extra tiles needed for the TW Cambrai terrain (All Rough, Village3-4, River6). I have also included minor tweaks to four of Sopwith Snipe's Max188-in-Flanders tiles (fixing seams and adding borders).
 
All tiles are merely spliced together (with a few edits or color-shifting) Max188 and/or TW tiles, or Sopwith Snipe's combination work.
 
PSDs available if anyone wants them.
 
EDIT: Fixed FrFarm2Rough50b.bmp thanks to Panama Red!

Realistic Sky Mod First Eagles
 
The reason that I got started modding the First Eagles Environemntalsystem.ini file was to:
1. Eliminate/reduce the lower horizon purple band in Clear weather,
2. Eliminate/reduce the lower horizon band in Overcast weather and
3. Eliminate/reduce the lower horizon band and overhead triangles in Inclement weather.
 
Modifying the clouds to make them more realistic was a byproduct of all the time spent "fixing" the first three items. I have tried to make the clouds as realistic looking as possible and at the proper altitude for each type.
 
In modifying the first Eagles Environmentalsystem.ini file, I used the same theme as TK used for the horizonclouds and broke out all 5 overhead clouds (versus the default Cloud1 for all weathers) into:
1. Cloud1 = Clear
2. Cloud2 = Scattered
3. Cloud3 = Broken
4. Cloud4 = Overcast
5. Cloud5 = Inclement
 
First Eagles default horizon clouds use the same method as the included horizonclouds included in this mod:
1. Horizonclouds 11-18 = Clear
2. Horizonclouds 21-28 = Scattered
3. Horizonclouds 31-38 = Broker
4. Horizonclouds 41-48 = Overcast
5. Horizonclouds 51-58 = Inclement
 
This way people can mix and match their particular horizon & overhead clouds (that other people have made) to their hearts desire and still have the original 3 fixes I did for the Clear, Overcast & Inclement weather.
 
Unfortunately due to internal FE game engine restrictions, I am not able to completely eliminate the Clear lower horizon band and can only transfer the lower horizon bands for Overcast and Inclement weather to above the clouds where you can still see the triangles above the Inclement clouds if you chose to fly above these clouds. From what I have read, without an artificial horizon in WW1 planes, not many pilots flew into/above thick Overcast or Inclement clouds because they could lose their orientation very quickly and did not want to subject their wood and canvas planes to all the turbulence within these clouds either.
 
I would like to give Marcel "Cellinsky" Aerni the biggest credit for starting me on this path of modding the sky, I have always admired all his great work in his “Widesky” mods. I have also included his Clear, Scattered, Overcast and Inclement Horizonclouds since they are very realistic and blend well with the FE’s horizon fog, as well as give credit to Polak for his Broken Horizonclouds; they really look like a front is coming through. I also give credit to Cellinsky and ShrikeHawk for their Cloud.tgas, they definitely improved the overhead clouds look.
 
Installation:
The easiest way to install this mod (other than using the great JoneSoftGenericModEnabler tool http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/...ucts-jsgme.html ), is to copy your “Flight” folder and rename it “Flight1”, then unzip all the included files into your original “Flight” folder.
 
Inclement weather will rain 100% of the time with the standard “particlesystem.ini”, but I can give no guarantees if you are using a modified “particlesystem.ini” file.

Blue Tailed Jasta 11 Dr1
Pilot was Ltn. Eberhardt Mohnicke and number is unknown to me
But scheme is historically accurate.
 
Just change the skin folder to J11 Mohnicke and the Textureset as well in the skin folder. Also change the
Textureset in the fokkerDr1 Configuration Settings from J11 Blue Tail to J11 Mohnicke.
 
Enjoy, quack74

This is my first skin.
Its for the fantastic Halberstadt CL.IV which was made by Laton.
 
I hope you will like it!
 
I´ve got no information if this skin was used in the war. My inspiration was apicture of a plane in a museum, which I´ve found in the internet.
 
It uses the same decals as the stock-skin.
 
 
Enjoy it!
