Alb D.I Otto Hohne

This skin set depicts Albatros D.I D.390/16 of Lt. Otto Hohne with Jasta 2 at Lagnicourt October 1916. Lt. Hohne was credited with six victories from mid September to mid November 1916. He was wounded in January 1917, and then served briefly as the C. O. of Jasta 2 in early 1918. Hohne flew with the Luftwaffe in WWII, attained the rank of GeneralMajor and died in 1969.

The files attached include hangar and loading screens.

Thanks to Gambit168 for making his skin set available as a template, to BortdaFarm for the original model, and to Southside Bucky for advice for improvements. I have included a cockpit adaptation of the Albatross D3 model from the First Eagles Expansion pack. The cockpit mod will not work unless you have the expansion pack. If you do not have the expansion pack yet, you can still use this skin. All you need to do is go into the AlbDI.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:

//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini

CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini

To look like this

CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDII_cockpit.ini

//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini

(Yes, these references are supposed to read AlbatrosDII not DI). Alternatively you can download the full cockpit mod from CA.

The FM by Peter01 is intended for use without the April 08 patch.

In addition to the skins, there a sound file which was recorded from a running Mercedes engine. If you prefer the original sound, simply change the lines in the data.ini file which refer to “PropLoopMercedes” to “PropLoop”.

This fileset is complete, and includes everyting necessary to load the BortdaFarm Alb DI. If you have other Alb DI skins, place the skin folder in the AlbDI folder and select it in the loadout screen to fly the skin.

This skin set is part of a series presented to acknowledge the dedication and continuing hard work of Peter01 who has given us outstanding flight models for so many other aircraft for First Eagles. Without his work, this model and many others would be just pretty pictures.
