First Eagles - General Files

Addon Breaking Sound by ShrikeHawk
 
My intent here was to create a very distinctive ww1 sound for
breaking aircraft parts. I wanted to hear a wood-crunching,
canvas-ripping, "uh-oh!" kind of sound to accompany a part
breaking my own (or better yet, the other guy's) aircraft.

Four wallpapers (1360x768) based on (modified) First Eagles screenshots.

If you're like me, you probably found yourself turning the original FE music volume to OFF within minutes of installing the game and encountering each screen.
 
So, I've scoured for some replacement music to increase those minutes to possibly hours before you ditch the music!
 
Here are some of the more intense classical music I could find (from varied composers) to appropriately fit the mood of each screen, attempting to give FE more "atmosphere". Some screens will have a determined action feel and others with a sense of glory/duty/achievement - at least that's what's intended!
 
I've only slightly edited each tune so it runs smoother and I reduced the bit rate to shrink them down to size. However, nothing's perfect.
 
By the way, the composers I emailed and managed to get in touch with were really great about allowing me to use their music files for what will hopefully be your benefit. They've done a terrific job.
 
 
See/hear what you think of it... hopefully, it will put you in a flying mood!
 
 
Cheers for browsing & thank God for gaming composers!

This is a substitute German theme screen depicting Kesta 4 in 1916, which you can substitute for the Spad hangars that appear in the loadout screen. Simply drop the file in the Menu folder and it will override the Spad screen. If you want to go back, just delete this file and the original will appear.
 
TK is considering adding code which will permit type specific loadout screens for each aircraft, but right now the code only permits one such screen for all aircraft.
 
I prefer the sepia version, which I now post as an update. I think the earlier B/W version will remain on the site- if not and you want BW, it is relatively simple to remove the color.
