"Jasta99"

---

This skin set depicts “Jasta99” a squadron (really a Jagdgeschwader) of Albatros D.IIL’s which is not authentic, but will give you over 99 different sets of automatically generated personal markings which actually appeared on one German plane or another during the war (some may even have actually appeared on an Alb D.II – but I will not certify that!). The serial numbers on the tail are authentic serial numbers but bear no relationship to the personal markings. All in all, you get plenty of colorful adversaries, or personal aircraft. The individual markings are drawn from the base set which comes with the game. I did not create them, so once more we can thank TK for the possibilities he gives us.

 

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 of the basic paint scheme. 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 AlbDII.ini file and modify the lines which now look like this:

 

//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDIIL_cockpit.ini

CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini

 

To look like this

 

CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosDIIL_cockpit.ini

//CockpitDataFile=AlbatrosD3_cockpit.ini

 

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”.

 

As usual, place the skin folder in the AlbDIIL 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.
