First Eagles - WWI and Early Years 1914 - 1920

Flyable Spad 7 for Eastern Front Campaign & FE2
 
This is a skin set and data/ini file mod to permit the stock Fe2 Spad 7 to be a flyable plane, using the TW quality LOD's and bump maps of the FE2 Spad 7. The only Spad 13 piece is the stock Spad 13 cockpit with minor adjustments. There are several skin sets for various IRAS units, including two of the leading aces, Kazakov and Smirnoff. The skins are a joint effort with Stephen1918. I could not do the Beta testing without doing skins! The FM is entirely my fault, a revised Peter01 FM, with adjustments for Russian service, but it could also be used for other nations. The Leprieur rockets are not part of the loadout packages, as I saw no reports of the Russians using them on the Spad 7. Only the 150 HP FM is included because that is the version used by the Russians (there were very few of the others, even in France). The original files are included in case you want to revert to them without expanding the entire Fe2 fileset.
 
I have not tested this mod in any version other than Fe2, but I see no reason why the skins and cockpit mod should not work in the various forms of FE1, provided you tinker a bit. You may or may not have to delete the bump maps.
 
IMHO the Jones Soft Mode enabler is the way to get this and other mods in and out of the game, but you can certainly do it all manually if you prefer.
 
There are also hangar and loading screens (apologies to Frank Luke) to help with immersion in Stephen1918s excellent Eastern Front Campaign.
 
Enjoy.

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

This is the FE1 version of Ojcar's last instalment of his great Armchair Aces series.
I add my thanks to all those Ojcar has named as contributors in his readme, to Canadair for his batch converter and to Ojcar himself for his work and dedication in providing such a detailed and comprehensive WW1 campaign for First Eagles.
Nothing complicated about this download which only involved a straightforward conversion of all the ini files from Unicode to Ansi, but read the readmes, both mine and Ojcar's.
In future, I will do my best to maintain FE1 versions of any FE2 updates from Ojcar.

The third in Ojcar's great Armchair Aces series.
Included are four new variants of the Albatros D series fighters as found in the FE2 stock aircraft.
You will need Armchair Aces 1915 1.1 and 1916 1.2 already loaded.
Read the readmes.
Cheers and Happy Landings
