About This File
UPDATE: 3rd September
There's a bit of a mix, some AI only changes, some minor changes, mostly major FM changes.
N11, N16, N17, N17bis, Halberstadt D3, Fokker D2. AI changes only.
Pfalz EV, Fokkers EIV/EVa. Changed, more difficult to fly and roll reduced.
Dh2. Minor changes to stalls.
FokkerD7. Minor change, roll reduced and more stable.
Pup, Tripe, F2b, Dolphin, Se5a, Snipe, N28, Spad13, FokkerDr1, PfalzD3. Major changes.
Some things worth pointing out:
Dolphin. 4 and 2 Gun versions, 2 Gun version thanks to p10ppy, but otherwise same FM. The default is the 2 gun one. There are backups of each version in the folder hopefully clearly named so you can delete default and copy another to pick and choose.
F2b. Overwing Lewis and Without Lewis versions from Mike Dora's idea, and in folder with backups of each, same FM. Default is Without Overhead Lewis. The gun is removed, but the mount for the Lewis is still in place on this model, as I found some graphical glitches when that was removed.
Fokker Dr1. Two FMs, TKs with AI changes and mine. Default is mine... its your choice.
===========================================================================
These are ONLY for the Unpatched Expansion Pack version - October 2007. They will not work well at all with the April 2008 patch nor will they work mixed with stock FMs.
The FMs are written for Hard FM mode. They will not work well, or as designed, in Normal or Easy Mode (Flight Models are completely different and inconsistent).
There is a comprehensive Readme, and includes 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
Installation is simple, but should be done on a clean install of original FE (no patch), then Oct 2007 EP (no patch). You do need to get all the add-on aircraft models installed first.
80 FMs included, and many thanks to all the modellers for allowing me to do these. All are needed for campaigns.
Bortdafarm - Pfalz B1, Fokker B1, Fokker B2, Fokker D2, Fokker D3, Martinsyde G100, Martinsyde S1, Avro 504D.
Monty CZ - Nieuport 11, Nieuport 16, Nieuport 17
EmID - Nieuports 24 (2), Nieuports 27 (4), Nieuport 28, Hanriots (3)
Laton - Fokker E1, Fokker E1a, Fokker E3, Fokker E3a, Fokker E4, Fokker E4a, Pfalz E1, Pfalz E3, Pfalz E4, Morane H, Morane L, Morane LAO, Fokker D8, Bristol M1c
Thirdwire - Albatros D3, Albatros D3OAW, Albatros D5, Albatros D5a, FokkerDr1, Fokker D7, Fokker D7F, DFW C5, Camels (3), Spad 7s (2), Spad 13, Se5a, Salmson, Re8

A-Team - Be2c, Be2d, Fe2b, Fe8, Dh2, Pup, Triplane, Dolphin, Snipe, Breuget 14, F2B, Halberstadt D3, Walfisch, Aviatik C2, Pfalz D3, Pfalz D8, Pfalz D12, Schuckert D3, Junkers D1.
In addition, some planes that use another 3-D Model: N17bis, N23, Fe2c, AlbatrosD3_160, AlbatrosD3OEF_200, AlbatrosD2, DFWC1. These are needed for campaigns also. See Installation instructions.
FMs are mainly by me, but Spad12 FM is by P10ppy, and Camels, Fokker Dr1, Spad 7s are by Thirdwire. The RE8 is largely Thirdwires with some changes to improve takeoff and turning. All have AI changes to fit with other FMs.
Have fun!
