Plain Pfalz D3, Jasta 16b
 
This is simply the Von Heltzem Jasta 16b skin with the personal insignia removed, so that players can fly the ace's aircraft and have a staffel of plain aircraft to lead into action.
 
Just drop it into the Pflalz D3 folder.
 
Thanks to the SPF1 A-Team (Capun, Richard, Charles, Kesselbrut & The Wrench) for the original, and for permitting this upload.

The game looks a bit dark at times. There is no way to change the gama settings. So I have lightened all the terrain files. Not by much but on my system it sure did make a difference.
 
Extract the files from the wwiVerdun.zip to the following path C:Program FilesThirdWireWWITerrainwwiVerdun
 
If you don’t like these files just delete them.

I'm pretty happy with ThirdWire's stock terrain but felt it was just too "cold", so I lightned & warmed it up a bit! I think that the end-result looks a bit more "natural" than the original – I hope you agree
 
Thanks to Sopwith Kennel for the inspiration for this mod

Tridyed Productions FE Terrain Pack V1.0
 
After flying the FE sim for a few days the 1st thing I wanted was the terrainto be more vivid and not look so hazy and filtered.
 
I have enhanced the detail of each tile and also did some 3 rendering to make things pop a bit more.
 
As you get near the grond the detail work sill show up as more farm areas with plwed fields and rows of crops. I have added a few dirt roads here and there and changed the forest fextures to be more vibrant and have more contrast.
 
I have added some small tree areas as well as some rocky fields and small pond area's. most areas just look alot more vivid and clearer.
 
 
Now has the corrected installation notes. (1/13/07)
 
Also If you want the fastest way to go between the two terrains then go Here and DL this and follow the install notes. You can then switch between the two with the flick of a button. (1/13/07)
