EmlD Nieuport 24E (trainer) "Issoudun Nieuport series" for First Eagles 2
This is a full aircraft type, trying to represent the trainer Nieuports used by United States at Issoudun.
"Issoudun Nieuport series" a set of several Nieuports used by the United States to train pilots during WW1 in France at Issoudun airdrome. Many of these Nieuports had very atypical painting schemes, between them, two with fish scales were "The Jazbo" And the "Flying Fish" (also called the "Dragon ship" or "Gwynne's Goldfish") and several others. Also these were considered "special ships" and representative of their unit. Often they were just for formation flying. Each crew tried to keep these bird primed for inspection. At Field eight there were multiple single coloured Nieuport 24 types used as aggressors for camera armed dogfights so a student could prove he had gotten his opponent. I gathered most of them in this series of skins.
This first pack features EmlD Nieuports 24 that I renamed Nieuport 24E (trainer).
You will find several versions for some of the planes with different colors at your choice.

- I painted new textures for the cockpit. I drew a new "GLASS.tga" to complement all of them. The gauges & needles were made as close as possible to the real instruments.
- I'm releasing two versions: One in 1024x1024(JPG & TGA) and other in 2048x2048(JPG & TGA).
- I set the 1024x1024(JPG & TGA) as standard for the planes.
- I painted as well, new hangars screens for these planes. The screens are in 1920x1200 size with some options for your choice.
*OBS: If you are running a low-end computer I do not recommend the use of 2048x2048 cockpit textures.
