First Eagles - WWI and Early Years 1914 - 1920

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!

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 4-Pack of Jasta 26 Albatros D.V's
 
The lozenge camo has been colored differently. And salmon colored rib taping being added.
 
1. Oblt. Bruno Loerzer DV D.2299/17
2. Ltn. Otto Fruhner DV D.2329/17
3. Swastika marking Unknown serial and pilot
4. Stock Jasta26 DV with changed lozenge color
 
Too me the stock lozenge camo seemed too dark. So I added a little more color to brighten it up.
Also use the TextureSets I included for a more glossy reflective finish.
 
Enjoy, quack74

Ok here it is IL2 clouds for First Eagles.It took some editing and some experimenting with different TARGA files to get this effect but I think it looks damn good.I made this mod using the first WideSky V1.0 mod by cellinsky available here and the CLOUD1 TARGA file came from Benders wonderful clouds mod for IL2 available at AAA,so I can't guarantee it will work with any of the other sky mods available here.If you want to use this and you are using a different sky mod you will probably have to revert back to WideSky V1.0.Thanks to cellinsky and Bender for their original mods and I hope they approve of this effect their combined mods creates for First Eagles.

Hello!
 
This is a simple touch up job of some tiles from Edward’s Photorealistic tile set for Flanders [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=4424], although surprise yourself and definitely try these tiles in Gepard's Vogesen terrain [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=5933], and other terrains as well.
 
Thank you Edward and all those who contributed to the Flanders environment and campaigns, TK and those unnamed at Thirdwire, and thank you Mike Dora for your original idea to redo the coastal tiles for consistency and your feedback and encouragement. Apologies if I have inadvertently forgotten to thank somebody, but thank you to all 3rd party moddders.
 
While the new tile sets are certainly welcome (thank you gentlemen!), they come at a cost for some people with old(er) systems. The photorealistic tile set still looks great with the new atmospheric mods and consistently runs superbly. If your system can take the extra load make sure you try Stary’s Flightengine.ini mod to push the horizon out and greatly reduce the ugly gray band. Thank you Stary, those few simple lines of code have rejuvenated FE for me, and I am sure for others as well.
 
Included are two versions of Flanders coastal tiles (redone for consistent sea colour) that have: 1) a subtle turquoise drop shadow to add visual interest and fake depth to the beach, and 2) coastal tiles without drop shadow for those who've seen the channel coast! Also retouched are coast trench tiles, Frairfield tile to blend in more with surroundings, all the river tiles for consistent colour, and miscellaneous touch ups to various ground bmp tiles. Also included are Rhein river photoreal tiles for Vogensen.
 
Copy to backup your Flanders and Vogesen terrain folder (to return to if you don’t like, or something ugly happens) and simply overwrite the old tiles. Any problems please PM me here, but remember, in life nothing is perfect...

Sopwith Camel of No.139 Squadron, RFC, Italy, September 1918
 
Based on B6313 flown by Major William Barker.
 
I have left the stock identification letter working, although the original aircraft did not carry an
individual letter.
 
For the updated First Eagles stock Camel 150 only.

Update 31st march: If you are using these FMs for FE2, the gun loadouts won't work. I didn't realize that FE2 does some things differently to FE1, and didn't include a new folder that Fe2 creates. To fix, just download and install the updated game files here REALLY FIXED FE2 Game Files and 4 FE2 FMs 2010 .
 
***********************************************************
 
108 new FMs for the October or November 2008 patch of FE1 or for the FE2 game. Too many to list! Just about every plane model, and then some, with conversions.
 
These are solely flight model and game files. You need to install the 3-D plane models first to use the FMs. The FMs are designed for Hard FM mode ONLY. AI Skill Level and Weapons should also be set to Hard. Other gameplay options can be set to whatever you wish.
 
You must install the game files included for everything to work. There are a seperate set of game files for FE1 and FE2.
 
A Readme is included, with the following sections:
 
1) General
2) Folders and Files in the Pack
- The game files are in the "ESSENTIAL FE1 Game Files" and "ESSENTIAL FE2 Game Files" folders
- The "FE1 and FE2 FMs" folder contains all the FMs
- Lastly, the "FE Optional Game Files" folder contains optional files for both FE1 and FE2
3) Installation
4) Known Issues
5) Worth Knowing
6) Experiencing Problems?
7) Acknowledgements and Caveats
 
Have fun.
 
peter01 March 2010.

First off this is for First Eagles Gold. But I'm sure it will work with FE2.
 
I figured a simple way to use heavy bombers that takeoff from airfields without changing the spacing for fighters.
What I did was copy a terrain folder (for this example I'll use the Flanders terrain) and renamed it "Flanders_Bombers".
And then changed the spacing in the "WWI_AIRFIELDS1 .ini" in the new terrain folder.
 
Now I can select the new "Flanders_Bombers" in the terrain menu and takeoff with any of the heavy bombers. All the missions are the same and all the same aircraft will appear.
 
There is a bit more to do. It's all in the Readme file inside. The new "WWI_AIRFIELDS1.ini" is also included.
 
A link is also included in the readme for the heavy bombers if you dont already have them.
 
Hope you like this. It's great for bombing missions.
 
Enjoy, quack74

Gotha Revised Cockpit and Bomb sight
 
This cockpit is derived from a mod by Ravenclaw_007 10 May 2008 and from the FokkerDVII Cockpit by Third Wire. This mod is NOT intended to depict an authentic GIV cockpit, but to improve functionality (primarily adding back the compass) and the appearance. The bombsight is derived from one originally developed by Dfang in 2008 for the Staaken.
 
The Gotha bomb sight in this mod mimics a Goerz “telescope type” sight, one of several sights used by the Gothas.
 
There are no records I can find which depict the actual sight picture, so the cross hairs and reference marks are speculative. We do know the real sight was illuminated for night use; the mod attempts to depict that function. None of the sights used by the Gothas were especially effective (one was actually called a "non-precision" sight). Sights were only one reason bombing was less than accurate. The Gotha approach altitudes in England were usually at or above 3000 meters to avoid defending aircraft, balloon cables, and AAA. The real Gotha bombardier was the aircraft commander, operating in the forward observer station.
 
Installation- First back up everything. Then to install for and FE1 and FE2:
 
In The Objects/Aircraft/GothaGIV folder
 
GothaGIV_Cockpit.INI
 
GOTHA_sight.tga
 
GOTHA V24 HiRes_gunsight Full center 5 nums.tga
 
GOTHA V24 HiRes_gunsight Open center 5 nums.tga
 
DVII_DASH_AMMO.bmp
 
D_VII_FLOOR_FRONT_BACK_WALL.bmp
 
D_VII_LABLES.tga
 
In the FE or FE2/FLIGHT folder
 
VIEWLIST.INI
 
MISSIONCONTROL.INI
 
The Beta testers and I all used variations of the June 2009 FM by Peter01, who did some of the original FM work on this project back in 2008. The calibration of the sight relies on it, so it is strongly suggested. There are two versions of the sight. One has a open cross hair and the other has a full cross hair. The default (with the open cross hair) will install unless you substitute the other. To install the alternate, save GOTHA_sight.tga as GOTHA_sightBAK.tag, then copy the GOTHA V24 HiRes_gunsight Full center 5 nums.tga, and rename that copy GOTHA_sight.tga. That way you’ll still have a full set of the sights if you want to reverse the process. Keep all versions in the Objects/Aircraft/GothaGIV folder.
 
Operation- When the aircraft loads, the sight will appear at eye level. Hit the \ key [immediately below the BACKSPACE KEY] twice. The sight will drop to the floor. When approaching the target, engage the wing leveler or autopilot and hit the .DEL key, to go to invisible cockpit. Use the mouse and the NUM PAD + key to position the sight. In FE1, you can then use the \ key to select the bombs from the various choices in the loadout, if you have selected multiple weps in the load out screen. In FE2 the game will not display these choices, but the ordinance will be selected. Drop the weps in the usual manner with the ENTER key.
 
The default altitude for missions is set at 3000 meters, or approximately 10,000 feet, the most common approach altitude for attacks on London and the coastal areas. The sight is calibrated to operate at 110 kph for 3000 - 4000 meters, and 90 kph at 1000 meters. The calibration speeds are very important to accuracy. Targets should be attacked with a "stick" of several bombs some toggled a bit ahead, and some a bit behind the apparent aim point.
 
If you prefer a different approach altitude, you will find alternatives in the folder. Simply copy the one you want, delete the old file and then save the copy as missioncontrol.ini. Do not simply delete the MISSIONCONTROL.INI without using one of the enclosed files as other operational settings are also adjusted for the Gotha GIV in that file.
 
Known issues- the Gothas carried a very diverse load of stores. In configurations with heavy bombs loaded under the nose, the bomb sight may be temporarily blocked by the bomb on the forward port side. One way to deal with this is to manually toggle only that bomb at initial approach; another is to select a loadout that does not place a bomb in the forward port rack. The typical load for the attacks on England was 6 50kg bombs, so it is relatively easy to set up an authentic loadout which avoids the "bomb block" bug.
 
Thanks to Southside Bucky and OlPaint01 for exhaustive Beta testing. This was a challenging mod to develop and the comments and advice they provided was extremely helpful. Thanks also to the original developers whose work is incorporated here -- Dfang, Ravenclaw_007, Peter01 , and of course Capun and the team at the Skunk Works for the Gotha.
 
 
sinbad 20 April 2010

This is a mod from Stary's excellent Ejecting Pilots Beta mod.
This mod was made by my brother(ezmonee),who is a huge FE2 fan.
Be sure to read the Readme for install instructions.
I haven't tested it yet,but it might also work with WW2 and Korea non-ejection seat aircraft.

In addition to the British built version, the DH4 was also produced by American manufacturers and was equipped with a Liberty 12 cylinder engine. Although slightly less powerful than the British version, The DH4 Liberty was popular with its crews and was produced in large numbers. After the war, it became the standard general purpose plane for the US Air Service.
 
This upload features the US version, with a new FM by Ojcar. The Liberty engine was slightly heavier than the British version and performance was reduced. To compensate, American DH4s carried a slighty lighter bomb load than the British built planes.
 
I have included a new skin using the number decals that come with First Eagles (which you can set in the loadout screen) and a set of serial numbers which will be applied randomly. There are also loadouts for light, medium, and heavy bomb loads.
 
The skins are rather generic, I have included my skinning templates for those who wish to make better skins.
 
 
Credits
My thanks to Ojcar for making the data file for the DH4 Liberty.
My thanks also to Sinbad for providing the motivation and a great deal of resource information for this plane.
 
 
Installation Instructions
For FE1 - Unzip the file and move the folder named "DH4_Liberty" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Airplanes folder.
 
For FE2 - Unzip the file and move the folder named "DH4_Liberty" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Airplanes folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "DH4_Liberty". Move the folder named "D" from the Airplanes/DH4_Liberty folder into the Decals/DH4_Liberty folder you just made.

This is a Nieuport 16 of the RFC in mid 1916.
 
A handfull of these Nieuports were painted in this two-tone camouflage of brown and olive green.
 
No.2 and No.11 squadrons would be equipt with these such Nieuports.
 
Ace Albert Ball would be one to fly Nieuport A134 with No.11 Squadron.
On June 2, 1916 he would down a Roland C.II and an Aviatik two-seater.
The following day of June the 3rd, Ball would be armed with Le Prier rockets and attack an
observation balloon near Pelves.

This is ONLY Part 1 of the "Battle of Caporetto" Campaign, Version 1.0, made by quack74
 
Part2 is a necessary download for it carries ALL the ENEMY (Austrian) aircraft files
 
This Campaign takes place in Northern Italy in the Fall of 1917. Austria vs Italy.
 
All info is in the readme files
 
The Vogesen terrain ( by Gepard ) is needed to run this campaign.
I highly recommend Jan Tuma's visual upgrade pack as well.
 
I would like to thank ***** and the skunworks A team for many of the WWI models
I would like to thank sinbad for allowing me to repost some of his Hanriot HD-1 Italian skins
I also would like to thank Gepard for the terrain and the help he gave me
And thanks to JanTuma for the beautiful terrain upgrade.
 
Thanks especially to all those guys that took the time to build all the aircraft and ground objects.
Without them this campaign wouldnt have come to mind. Actually Laton's Austrian and Italian planes triggered it.
They needed a place to fly. So thanks Laton.
 
Enjoy, quack74

The French had three versions of the Strutter. The 1A2 for recon and artillery spotting, and two bombers, the 1B2, which carried a gunner, and the 1B1 which had only the pilot. The French prioritized delivery of the 1A2. The 1A2 Strutters, like the English 9400 series, had a fuel tank between the pilot and the observer. Consequently the 1A2 had greater range than the 1B2 and 1B1, which carried internal bomb bays in that same area.
 
France began building Strutters under license in April 1916 to replace obsolete Farmans and Caudron G-4s. As the first French built Strutters were tested ten months later in February 1917, a 1B2 Strutter broke up in mid air. The British insisted over stressing by the pilot caused the crash but the French demanded a total design review. The review resulted in few changes, but French built Strutters were not put into combat until the Spring of 1917, when they were significantly outclassed by enemy aircraft.
 
Bombing squadrons were routinely equipped with a mix of the 1B2 and 1B1 variants. and the 1B2 was often used to escort the 1B1. I find no evidence that the French mounted any external stores on the 1A2 or either of the 1B Strutters.
 
The French produced approximately 4,500 Strutters through April 1918. Some American units were provided with French built Strutters, which they intensely disliked, in part because they were initially delivered without weapons. All versions of the Strutter had air brakes on the inboard lower wings, which are not operational on the model; these brakes were often not favored by the aircrews because they created “mushy” handling. Many pictures of Strutters nosed over, perhaps document this characteristic.
 
The flight models attempt to reflect the known variations in the French aircraft.
 
The windscreens on French Strutters were different (some would say more graceful) than the British. That, unfortunately has not been modeled in this version. Dagaith, my original partner in this project left to join the army before the 1A2 model was started. Perhaps one day I will become sufficiently adept with 3dMax to make the adjustment, but that is not possible today. I'd love to have some help with that, if there is someone interested who can make 3dMax sing and dance.
 
 
 
We may eventually have a 1B1 Strutter, but, meanwhile there are production delays. . .
 
Thanks to Dagaith for the original model, Peter01 for the flight model, Laton for the additional LODs, , Gustav for conseils français, as well as beta testing by Southside Bucky (for the original English versions) Panama Red and Ojcar, who prompted me to get this bird out of the coop.
 
The included skin sets for the 1A2 depict aircraft flown by two French Escadrille, Sop 226, with silver dope and Sop 284, which operated 10 camo 1A2s from March 1918, the date the unit was formed, until the end of the war. Some sources incorrectly depict the Esc 226 aircraft in clear doped linen or light yellow dope, a mistake I made before discovering more recent and authoritative information. There are two files sets, on for FE2 and another for all previous versions of FE. Just drop them in and go.

Aviatik-Berg D.IDesigned by Julius von Berg for the Aviatik company, the D.I was the first fighter completely built in Austria. The Berg was light and maneuverable, and after structural problems in the early models were overcome, it became a good combat plane.
 
Although nimble, reasonably fast, and able to reach higher altitudes than many of the planes it fought, the Aviatik D.I was prone to overheating. Many pilots flew with the engine cover panels removed, so I built this plane without the engine cover.
 
Early versions of the plane had the two Schwarzlose machine guns mounted low on each side of the engine. Later versions put the guns higher and within reach of the pilot to make it easier to clear jammed guns. This is a later version with the guns firing through tubes under the manifolds and projecting through the radiator.
 
I have included a basic skin along with my skinning templates. I highly recommend the skins made by Quack74, available at CombatACE as a separate download.
 
Revision 1 - June 12, 2011It appears that I made the original about 20% too large. I have rescaled the plane to the correct size, this involved making some changes in and around the cockpit. Since I was revising the cockpit, I put the correct guns in this version (Schartzlose instead of Spandau.) I have also included the FM written by ojcar, and the sound for the Austro-Daimler engine made by Nix.This version includes all new LODs, new data file, new cockpit ini, and new decal ini. If you have downloaded the previous version, it would be easiest to just delete the whole folder and replace it with this version.
 
Revision 2 - September 20, 2011I have added a complete set of letter decals so you can set a flight letter in the Loadout screen, or the game will randomly assign a different letter to each plane. There will also be a different serial number randomly assigned to each plane as well.
 
Revision 3 - June 5, 2012I have made slight changes to the model, especially in the rigging. This revision has all new LODs. Ojcar has made changes to the FM to work with the new model. All the decals are the same as before.
 
Installation Instructions - New install
 
For FE1 - Unzip the file and move the folder named "AviatikD1" into the "Aircraft" folder in the FirstEagles/Objects folder. You also need to move the sound file "Austro-daimler200.wav" into the FirstEagles/Sounds folder.
 
For FE2 - Unzip the file and move the folder named "AviatikD1" into the "Aircraft" folder in the FirstEagles/Objects folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "AviatikD1". Move the folder named "D" from the Aircraft/AviatikD1 folder into the Decals/AviatikD1 folder you just made.You also need to move the sound file "Austro-daimler200.wav" into the FirstEagles/Sounds folder.
 
Installation Instructions - Update existing install
 
For both FE1 and FE2 - Delete the following files and replace them with the new versions: All the LOD files and OUT files - you are deleting three of each and replacing them with four of each. The OUT files are optional and not necessary for the game. AviatikD1.ini - the new one makes use of the extra LOD.AviatikD1_DATA.INI - The new one uses the new rigging and is slightly more compact than the original.Everything else is the same as in the Revision 2 download.

This is a skin for the Aviatik D.1 model created by Stephen1918
 
The skin represents the aircraft of Austrian Flik60J in early 1918.
 
Thank you Stephen1918 for this superb model and all your effort. Also
thank you for uploading this model here at CombatAce and allowing us all to enjoy it.

The Nieuport 12 was an improved version of the Nieuport 10. It had a more powerful engine, a larger upper wing and a slightly larger tail plane. These features gave the plane the power and performance to fly as a two man fighter. I have fitted my model with an Etévé gun mount holding a Lewis machine gun in the back, and another Lewis gun on the upper wing for the pilot.
 
I have included three skinning options, identical except for the decals. The Italian Linen uses the Italian insignia and includes the red and green underwing panels. The Russian skin uses the Russian insignia and includes the roundels on the tail planes. The Standard Linen can be used for all the other Entente powers. This plane uses the national markings that come with First Eagles, so you can easily change nationalities (in the Standard Linen skin only.)
 
I have included decals for serial numbers which will be applied randomly.
 
 
Historical Notes:
The numbers are fictious, but in the correct range for most Nieuport 12s. British planes carried the serial number on the fuselage.
 
The Nieuport 12 wasn't used by the Italians, but I included the skin anyway.
 
The Etévé gun mount ring should be flush with the fuselage, but because of limits in the way the game animates objects, I had to raise it up to avoid it intersecting the plane when it moved.
 
 
Credits:
My thanks once again to Ojcar for making the excellent data.INI file for this plane.
My thanks to Nix for providing the engine sound file.
Thanks also to Nix, Sinbad, Whiteknight06604, and 33Lima who provided suggestions and resources for the Nieuport 12.
 
Version 2
Revised data file by ojcar improves performance and corrects hit box locations for the fuel tanks - corrects muzzle location for rear gun - engine sound added - thanks to Panama Red for testing
