Well folks, this is my first airplane for the SF engine, and I'm hoping it'll live up to the hopes of the community. It's been alot of fun, and I hope y'all enjoy it.

Add on plane for the First Eagles The Great Air War 1918
Patch No.1 compatible
your comments are welcome at tosovsky.pavel (at) seznam.cz
Readme included.
Enjoy Monty

Here are some replacement tiles for the stock First Eagles Terrain. They are modified Flight Simulator 2004 tiles. They are not perfect, and there are still a few misplaced trees.
 
These tiles change nothing else about the stock Verdun terrain except the look. All roads, villages, rivers and trenches are intact.
 
To install simply copy all the files into your wwiVerdun folder inside the terrain folder. To delete simply delete all the files from the folder.
 
My sincere thanks to the A-Team for all their advice and support, and to TK for creating such an excellent flight sim and for the terrain design tools.

Peter01 3rd June 2009

A quick disclaimer.
 
The cockpit isn't at it's best, there are limitations of the Albatros model that prevent a few things. For one, the cockpit padding cannot be hidden, so you'll be seeing the external models padding instead of my own high res padding. Secondly, the MG stocks can't be hidden, so I didn't see any reason to model much more than what you see sofar.
 
TK said he'd fix this in the next patch, and when he does, I'll do a revisit and fix these things, but for now you'll have to live with them.
 
Anywho, hope y'all enjoy the cockpit as much as I did making it. :)

THIS IS FOR FE PRE EXPANSION PACK! THIS MAY NOT WORK WELL AFTER THE EXP PACK IS INSTALLED. I HAVE NOT TESTED IT YET..
 
Firecage Plane Fest 4.0
 
 
1st off …. Tip of the Hat to all the plane makers… thank you for the time and effort your putting in so I can have fun 
 
This campaign has about 60 airplanes in it now. (see note above)
 
I do all the testing on hard FM and all settings to hard. So if things don’t seem even in normal mode that’s why.
 
All of the plane sets have been done to make room for the newest planes that the mod people have available.
 
I have moved the start dates back to October 5th 1915 to make more room for so many early planes and still have time to enjoy and learn each one well.
 
I have redone all the upgrade plane dates so the planes match up as closely as I can. As normal I try and balance what is available. I do my best with what I have.
 
Bomber squads available for the RAF and Germans. (flyable)
 
Fixed a few text entries to docs that were showing wrong versions in game.
 
Please read the installation and Plane Fest Doc for more info.

EDITED AND REPAINTED STOCK ALBATROS DVA TO REPRESENT A MID WAR ALBATROS DIII for FIRST EAGLES
with reduced performance to match the period...
 
for use with mid war aircraft etc
 
install to the objects/aircraft folder
if for example you fly a single mission and select 1917 as the year in the mission screen..
then only aircraft of that era will be loaded into the mission
so this aircraft allows you to fly in the correct period and have some slightly more appropiate targets/enemys

-------------------------------------------
 
 
This is a set of new seasonal textures together with environmental mod (Trees, Forests, Farms, and new city objects) to enhance the look and feel of default First Eagles "Verdun" terrain; Expansion Pack 1 "Cambrai" terrain and aditional Flanders and Vogesen terrain.
 
Different textures and environmental for each of 12 months.
 
Please note that due to things work in the series terrain engine, you cannot destroy nor collide with buildings or trees.
 
There may be some performance drop on older systems (drop off framerate during flight), you have been warned!
 
 
 
----------------------
Installation:
----------------------
 
First make backups of your existing terrains folders!!! In case something goes wrong during the install...
 
A) Installation for all terrain (Werdun, Cambrai, Flanders and Vogesen):
Extract this package to First eagles main directory (not in Terrain folder), if asked, overwrite. So will supplementeds all files in Terrain folder at a time.
 
B) Custom Installation:
1) Unzip this package and open "Terrain" directory

5) For installation new Tiles to Flanders terrain copy "Flanders" directory from installation package to "Terrain" folder, if asked, overwrite
6) For installation new Tiles to Verdun terrain copy "Verdun" directory from installation package to "Terrain" folder, if asked, overwrite
 
You may want to change the Ground Objects setting from Medium or High to Unlimited for better look (above all cities tiles)

Italian Terrain WW1 V2.0
*******************************
 
Update (2.0):
- Removed ships that show up on land
- Added fortresses (Austrian & Italian)
- Changed ocean tiles
- Minor corrections
 
INTRODUCTION
The Italian Front during WW1 refers to a series of battles fought between 1915 and 1918 in northern Italy between the armies of Austria-Hungary and Germany against Italy.
Italy hoped that by joining the countries of the Triple Entente against the Central Powers it would gain Cisalpine Tyrol (today's provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol), the Austrian Littoral, northern Dalmatia and some areas of western Carniola.
Italy had hoped to begin the war with a surprise offensive intended to move quickly and capture several Austrian cities.
Well, the war soon bogged down into trench warfare similar to the Western Front fought in France.
 
INCLUDED
- Italian terrain/front WW1
- Ground objects
- Italian campaign 1915-1917 (incl. needed skins)
 
FAQs
Q: Is the scale of the map correct
A: No
Q: Why not the Piave river front, in order to create late 1917/1918 scenarios?
A: Because
Q: Are all the named towns and cities correct (placement and naming)
A: Yes as good as it gets.
Q: Does it include more than one season?
A: No, currently not. Might be released with version 2
Q: Is the frontline correct?
A: Yes as good as it gets, representing late 1917 with certain omissions in order to get targets for the campaigns (like Monfalcone being Austro-Hungarian)
Q: The river Isonzo seems to cut through the mountains, is that correct?
A: To a certain degree, but I had to modify massively the heightmap in order to make things look right (e.g. river not flowing up/down the mountains)
Q: The northern part of the map, e.g. toward Munich, seems without further towns?
A: Correct. All forests and lakes are there but apart from the major cities (Salzburg & Munich) I've not yes included smaller towns.
 
INSTALLATION
1. Make a backup copy of your First Eagles folder (just in case)
2. Extract the file into a temporary folder (like c:\temp\)
3. Copy all the relevant folders into the respective First Eagles game folders
(example: c:\temp\First Eagles\Terrain\wwiItaly into your c:\Program Files\First Eagles\Terrain folder)

CREDITS
As usual i want to say thank you to all guys who helped me to create the Italian terrain, to TK, Jan Tuma, Stephen1918, ojcar, Gepard, Heck, geo, quack74, Edward, A-Team (airplanes not included), Guitarclassic55 (for the wonderful menu) and a lot of others.
Sorry guys, at the moment i have forgotten the names. Please contact me if you want to be named at this place.
Thanks for files, suggestions, bug findings etc.

There were many versions of the Taube produced in the years leading up to World War I. When the war began different versions were being used in large numbers, on all fronts for recon missions. This is the Kondor Taube, which I think is representive of the "classic" Taube. It has the typical wing shape, uses wing warping for both the aileron and elevator surfaces, and has a six cylinder 100HP engine.
 
I have added a rifle for the observer, which he will aim and fire. I have made significant changes to the wires on the front to give the gunner more room to move.
 
Ojcar has created a fake machine gun for the pilot, which causes the AI plane to be more aggressive in pursuing enemy planes. I have installed that gun on this plane. Ojcar's "DummyMachineGun" data is included with this download, in case you don't already have it.
 
Some flyers wore simple crash helmets in WWI, especially in the early days. I am using a pilot with a helmet in this plane. The pilot and installation instructions are included in the download, in case you don't already have it.
 
The download includes my skinning templates, data for the guns and the German pilot with helmet.
 
Credits
Thanks to Ojcar for making the data file for the Taube, and for greatly improving the gunner. Ojcar also made the data for the dummy machine gun.
Thanks to Crawford for identifying a problem with the elevators.
 
Installation Instructions
For FE1 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "Taube" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder.
 
For FE2 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "Taube" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "Taube". Move the folder named "D" from your Aircraft/Taube folder into the Decals/Taube folder you just made.
 
 
 
You may not need to install the dummy machine gun, it has been used on other planes and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the gun and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.
 
You may not need to install the infantry, it has been used on ground units and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the gun and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.
 
You may not need to install the pilot with helmet, it has been available for download for some time and you may already have it. If you don't already have it, I have included the pilot and instructions for installing in a separate folder included in this download.
