UPDATE: 3rd September
 
Se5a, Spad13, FokkerDr1 FMs changed.
 
For the Fokker Dr1, there are two alternative FMs, TKs with AI changes and mine. Default is mine... its your choice. There are backups of each version in the folder hopefully clearly named so you can delete default and copy another to pick and choose.
 
=======================================================================
 
This pack only updates the stock plane FMs. Its meant to be a very QUICK START to a modded game. It does change the game considerably, and also includes Le Prieur Rockets and AI only planes made flyable.
 
If you like this, and want to then add other aircraft and FMs that work properly with the Expansion Pack Oct 2007 version then download the "FULL SET FMs and Campaigns for Oct 2007 Version EP ONLY", and add plane packages and FMs, manually and individually.
 
The FMs are done for Hard FM Mode. They will not work well, or as designed at all in Normal or Easy Mode (Flight Models are completely different and inconsistent).Actually, they are designed for hard everything, including Hard Enemy Skill Level in the Gameplay Options. However, if you find the AI too hard or too easy, see 5) AI Difficulty Setting.
 
IMPORTANT: These are ONLY for the Unpatched Expansion Pack - October 2007. They will not work well at all with the April 2008 patch nor will they work mixed with stock FMs.
 
Installation is very simple and quick, maybe 10 mins for everything.
 
1) Do a clean install of the the original FE (no need to apply patches), then install the paid for Oct 2007 Expansion Pack. DO NOT install any EP patches at all.
 
2) Extract this zip file to a temp folder, and move or copy all the folders of the extracted zip to your newly installed main First Eagles directory, and when prompted, click yes to overwrite existing files.
 
3) Go into the game, set all options to Hard (its designed for Hard), and...fly.
 
Thats it!!!
 
There is a comprehensive readme (there are many changes to the stock game), and consists of the following sections:
 
1) Introduction
2) The FMs
3) Additional Changes to FMs
4) Extras
5) AI Difficulty Setting
6) The Campaigns
7) Installation
8) Acknowledgements & Caveats
 
Please note that the included campaigns will not work until you download all the add-on planes. Standard campaigns will work of course.
 
Have fun.

This was for a request from the forum.
 
Enjoy :yes:

New map icons for FE
stylised rather than representative
 
drop two of the new tga files into your Flight folder
one called MAPFRIENDLYICON.TGA (Entente)
one called MAPENEMYICON.TGA (Central powers)
and they will override the defaults
 
note there are two MAPFRIENDLYICON.TGA icons in the package (MAPFRIENDLYICON_F.tga(French) and MAPFRIENDLYICON_B.tga(British))
you will need too rename the chosen one to MAPFRIENDLYICON.TGA

These files will modify the original Albatros DII by BortdaFarm by installing the stock Albatros D3 cockpit from the Third Wire Expansion Pack. This mod tested AOK with and without the April 08 patch. The files will not work unless you have installed both the Expansion pack and the BortdaFarm Albatros DII.
 
BortdaFarm invested a lot of time and effort into the creation of the Albatros DII, and I'm glad he did. There is only so much one person can do and the EP cockpit by TK and his team is more detailed and functional. Thanks to both BortdaFarm and Third Wire for making these models for us.
 
The files in this package include alternative loading and hangar screens. Back up your original files (in case you later decide you prefer the originals) and place all of the enclosed files in the AlbatrosDII folder.
 
In addition to the cockpit and the screens, there are two gunsight types included. The default is the classic Fokker crosshair. The alternative is a slightly larger Spad13 type with a small circle in the center of the crosshair. If you prefer the latter, simply open the file marked ALBATROSD3_COCKPIT.INI and change the following lines from this:
 
//GunsightMilSize=40
GunsightMilSize=30
GunsightName=Fokker_ironsight.tga
//GunsightName=Spad13_ironsight.tga
 
to this
 
GunsightMilSize=40
//GunsightMilSize=30
//GunsightName=Fokker_ironsight.tga
GunsightName=Spad13_ironsight.tga.
 
You may notice that the windscreen appears to be slightly forward of the gun breeches. Don't worry, it will still keep the wind off your face! There was no way I could find to avoid this and still place the new cockpit in the model in a way that functions properly. If anyone can resolve this dilemma, please do so. BTW notice the hole in the glass in the BTF model. These holes were in the original aircraft windscreens to allow sighting the weapons despite the smears of oil and dirt that often impaired the view.
 
I also want to acknowledge the dedication and continuing hard work by Peter01 on his outstanding flight models for the Albatros DII and so many other aircraft for First Eagles. These FMs are a tremendous enhancement of the sim.
