    1. This is a camouflage version of the Nieuport.24bis. It's the same camo pattern as the Nieport.24, only the horizontal stabilizers and rudder differ. And only a single .303 Vickers machine gun.

    2. 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.

    3. This download contains two Nieuport skins.
       
      1. Nieuport 24 - Camouflage fuselage and wings with a bare metal nose section and cowl.
       
      2. Nieuport 27 - Camouflage fuselage including nose, cowl and struts.
       
      You can select different national markings as well as squadron markings directly from the game
      loadout menu. I only created serial numbers for the rudder. These are in the "D" folder inside of
      the skin folders.
       
      Feel free to rename the folders to what ever you like.
       
       
      Drop each "Camo" skin folder in it's corresponding aircraft folder:
       
       
      Thanks to EmlD for the Nieuport models and allowing us to create new skins for them.
       
       
      The skins and skins only were done by quack74.

    4. 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.

    5. Nieuport 17 of Navy school of aerial fighting, Bolshevik Forces, Russian Civil War, 1919-20
       
      Probably this aircraft was served in one of Navy school of aerial fighting in Oranienbaum (near Petrograd).
       
      Skin only for MontyCZ's Nieuport 17

      Fokker Dr.1's of Jasta 19.
       
      This download is of the Jasta 19 Fokker Dr.1's with random personal markings.
       
       
      I created a decal pack to help create some of the Jasta 19 ace's aircraft. They will appear at random.
       
      Here is a list of who's planes you will encounter or use.
       
      1. Ltn. Walter Gottsch - Staffelfuhrer - White upper wing with white swastika on fuselage.
      2. Ltn. Hans Pippart - Yellow wings and black fuselage with yellow dots.
      3. Ltn. Hans Korner - White zig-zag arrow on fuselage sides and top.
      4. Ltn. Rudolf Rienau - White spiral band around fuselage.
      5. Ltn. Arthur Rahn - Black fuselage band with white borders and white diamonds inside.
      6. Unknown pilot - Wavy white line on fuselage sides.
      7. Unknown pilot - X marking on fuselage sides.
      8. Unknown pilot - Solid white bar along fuselage sides.
      9. Unknown pilot - Black and white Fuselage Band aft of cockpit.
      10.Unknown pilot - Black and white Fuselage Band with a large "4" on rear and top fuselage.
      11.Unknown pilot - Solid yellow fuselage band.
      12.Unknown pilot - Yellow fuselage band with two vertical black stripes.
      13.Unknown pilot - White fuselage band with a black "P".
      14.Unknown pilot - White triangle on fuselage sides and top.
      15.Unknown pilot - white fuselage with yellow fuselage center and top deck
      16. Jasta 19 stock skin with no markings.
       
      There might be one or two that appear to have no personal markings.
       
      Again this is all done with decals, not skin templates.

      Albatros D.III's of Jasta 11.
       
      This download is of the Jasta 11 Albatros D.III's with the all red fuselages. Implimented late April 1917 to July 1917. The idea was to help Manfred von Richthofen's all red D.III blend in with the rest of the pack. Since there was a price on his head, his fellow airmen of Jasta 11 thought it might be a good idea if he wasn't the only "red" target. but each had an individual touch.
       
      So I created a decal pack to help create some of the Jasta 11 ace's aircraft of this time period. They will appear at random and even von Richthofens D.III will appear as well. He might not be the lead plane, but he'll be in there.
       
      Here is a list of who's planes you will encounter or use.
       
      1. Manfred von Richthofen "Rittmeister" of Jasta 11 - All red fuselage with over-painted markings.
      2. Karl Allmenroder - White nose and spinner with white elevators.
      3. Kurt Wolff - Green nose and spinner with green elevators and light blue wheel discs.
      4. Karl Emil Schafer - Rear fuselage and complete tail section all black.
      5. Georg Simon - A pale green band around fuselage just aft the cockpit.
      6. Hans Wolff - An orange band around fuselage just aft the cockpit.
      7. Otto Brauneck - Blue nose and spinner with blue elevators.
      8. Lothar von Richthofen - Yellow nose and spinner with yellow elevators and rudder.
       
      The others you might see are unknowns and made up by me.
       
      There will be some that appear to have no personal markings but will have the iron crosses on the fuselage sides and the tail section. I made these with crosses to make them different than Manfred von Richthofens plane. His plane will be the ONLY one with no personal markings and no fuselage and tail crosses.
       
      More in the readme file.

    8. FMs for either FE1 or FE2.
       
      I knew I had these somewhere, and found them on a backup drive. They were done last December. Just refined, tweaked and tested them a bit, and ... they are ready to fly.
       
      New FMs for the Bristol M1C, Fe8, Fokker D8, Schuckert D3.
       
      The Bristol M1C is very nice, has a new gun, and is equal in capability to my Albatros D3.
       
      The FE8 has a couple of issues - on takeoff, stalls - but still nice, and in capability about the equal to my Halberstadt D3.
       
      The Fokker D8 is the nicest FM I have done for this plane, it is very capable, about the equal to my Camels. Snipes vs Fokker D8s are fun.
       
      The Schuckert D3 is a little less capable than the Fokker D8.
       
       
      IMPORTANT
      =========
       
      For FE1 you must have installed the FE1 game files from "108 FE1 and/or FE2 FMs March 2010" in the Flight Models download section here. 108 FE1 and/or FE2 FMs March 2010
       
      For FE2 you must have installed the FE2 game files "REALLY FIXED FE2 Game Files and 4 FE2 FMs 2010" in the Flight Models download section here. REALLY FIXED FE2 Game Files and 4 FE2 FMs 2010
       
       
      INSTALLATION
      ============
       
      1) I recommend you backup the folders of the above aircraft before installing.
       
      2) Place all the files from this download into the corresponding aircraft directories.
       
      Have fun.
