The Farman F.40 was a joint design by the two Farman Brothers, Maurice and Henri, combining features of the MF.11 and HF.22. Like the other Farman designs, placing the engine in the rear gave the gunner an open field of fire. The F.40 was used for reconnaissance and as a light bomber and was widely used by most of the Entente forces. The long wingspan gave stability, but made it slow to maneuver. French squadrons began replacing it in 1916.
My plane includes loadouts for a light bomb load and for Le Prieur rockets. I have included three skins, French, Belgian, and Russian. Decals and my skinning templates are included in the download.
I have included ojcar's "DummyMachineGun" data, Peter01's Lewis Machine Gun data and P10ppy's Le Prieur rockets with this download.
Warning
The Farman F.40 has a wider wingspan than First Eagles expects so if you start on the runway, your wings will be touching the wings of the planes next to you. This will cause an immediate collision and you or other planes in your flight may lose their wingtips as soon as the game starts. Best to start in the air, or modify the airfield.ini in the terrain folder to space out the planes on the runway.
Credits
Thanks to Ojcar for making the data file for the Farman F.40 and for making the data for the dummy machine gun. And for helping me with the installation package for FE2.
Thanks also to P10ppy who made the Le Prieur rockets, and to Peter01 who made the data for the Lewis Gun.
Thanks also to Crowford who provided resources for the Farman cockpits.

Installation Instructions
For FE1 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "FarmanF40" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder.
For FE2 - Unzip the file. Move the folder named "FarmanF40" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "FarmanF40". Move the folder named "D" from your Aircraft/FarmanF40 folder into the Decals/FarmanF40 folder you just made.
You may not need to install the guns or rockets, they have been used on other planes and you may already have them. Instructions for installing the guns and rockets, if you should need them, are in a separate file included in this download.
This pack contains a variety of large, medium, and small industrial objects - plus two urban housing blocks. They were originally developed at the request of FE map makers so their appearance is typical of WW1. Wrench then pointed out that they could also be used for other maps - 1930s, WW2, and even parts of the Cold War. A modest selection of complimentary 1930s civilian vehicles is in development, and will be added in the future.
THESE MODELS ARE ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL THEY BE USED, EVEN IN PART, OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT.
This is a new skin for the Voisin3_120, part of the Voisin LAS-2 pack available in the CombatAce Aircraft Downloads area (under Other Entente Aircraft).
This skin is for a Russian Voisin LAS built at the Lebedev factory in Petrograd. It has a grey skin with the appropriate decals. Early in the war, Lebed built planes had a large company logo on the rudder. Later versions (after 1915) had a much smaller logo placed at the center of the standard Russian insignia. I have included both versions in the download.
These skins are made for the 120hp Voisin, but will also work on the 150hp version. They will not work on the Voisin Type V.
Note
The inscription on the logo translates (approximately): "V.A. Lebedev Aeronautics Co., Ltd. - Petrograd"
Credits
My thanks to Crowford who provided many resources for the logo, placement of the insignia, and for valuable help with the Cyrillic inscription.
Installation instructions
Put the folders named "V3LebedEarly" and "V3LebedLate" into your FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft/Voisin3_120 folder. Next, open my "PutInDFolder" and put all three files into the "D" folder for the Voisin3_120.
For FE1, it will be inside the Aircraft/Voisin3_120 folder.
for FE2, it will be inside the Decals/Voisin3_120 folder.
The LVG C.II was an early German two seater. It had a ring-mounted Parabellum machine gun for the observer, later versions also had a LMG machine gun mounted on the fuselage for the pilot. It was used mostly for reconnaissance, but could also carry a small bomb load. The LVG C.II was the first plane to bomb London, in November 1915.
My version has three skins (grey, blue, and linen) and two sets of decals. There are two bomb loadouts, one with four light bombs, another with a single large bomb. I have included my skinning templates with the download.

My thanks to Ojcar for making the data.INI file for this plane and for resources to help with the shape of the fuselage.
Installation instructions:
For FE1: Unzip the file and move the folder named "LVGC2" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder.
For FE2: Unzip the file and move the folder named "LVGC2" into the FirstEagles/Objects/Aircraft folder. Then in the FirstEagles/Objects/Decals folder, create a new folder named "LVGC2". Move the folder named "D" from the Aircraft/LVGC2 folder into the Decals/LVGC2 folder you just made.
This pack contains a wide selection of fortifications. Some of them, like the Austrian Fort, are enormous and are WW1-specific, but there is also a selection of WW2 Atlantic Wall fortifications, so modders can construct defenses for most any period. The fortifications constructed from concrete, masonry, etc have damage models but the simple trenches have no damage models. I was unable to convincingly design a damage model that replaced one pile of dirt for another.
There are six straight trench sections for each major WW1 power, with an appropriate machine gun - Lewis (British), Maxim (German, Russian), French (Hotchkiss), etc. Hopefully, modders can deploy existing figures behind the straight trench walls. For grins and giggles, there is also a zig-zag trench section that more-or-less matches the trench sections of a 1024 FE terrain tile. The straight trench sections are generic enough to also be used in most any other period, even VietNam.
None of the guns work, they are simply stage props. But if someone wants to massage files to make the guns operable, contact me and we will discuss the job.
My thanks to the map makers - Quack74, gterl, Steven1918, Wrench - for their inputs. If I've forgotten anyone, my apologies - contact me and I'll add your name.
Enjoy.
Rev1: Fixed the missing art for Fort-12 - thanks to KJakker for spotting that. Also renamed the multiple Fort-4 LODs for correct right/left orientation.
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,

Welcome WWI buffs! This is a new series of campaings, covering the air war over Palestine Front in WWI
The entire war is divided in mini-campaigns of a month-10 missions. I'm using the fantastic Palestine map. You'll have about 20 mini-campaigns and 200 missions per pilot!
You'll fly as British, Australian, German or Ottoman pilot.
This series is made for FE2, but you also have a FE1 version.
