Nothing but trouble..

Thanks Mike..

Okay Here it comes..

 

Italy in P3 thanks to Stumpjumper..

 

Missions being developed, with the kind help of the OFF folks with advice..

Thanks....

 

So simple to do, I might add..

Even a hobbit can set this up to work..

Bravo..

First mission finished..

Nice project HH!

I would love to fly something different...

BTW, the Albatros D.III (OAW) is a 1917 plane, not operational before mid '17 to be more specific!

Thanks, for the info, on the OAW.

I will adjust these as I get more info and skins perhaps..

 

The missions are in a developing state, and will change many times before I settle on the finals..

Have 3 base missions so far, will expand this as it is set up..

To include bomber(attack) missions defence and patrol missions..

Perhaps a recon or two also..

Missions From several airbases in the region doing different objectives, and as I read and pick up on More Historical information.

I will include these..

[Olham]

Make sure to read about the use of the sea planes - I guess everyone would love to fly those.

Over a enemy aerodrome in Italy..

Nice work, there. Any chance of snow on any of those peaks?

Looks like you're off to a good start. I'll be making some more DFW skins for this.

[Olham]

Since everyone seems so enthusiastic about the "Italian Front Thing", I have made an Austrian Albatros D.III skin.

Of course I cannot make the spinner disappear, as it is part of the 3D model. But apart from that I hope I got the

tones of wood and the "natural" fabric (only clear doped; no camo) of the Koloman Mayrhofer replica right.

 

I can offer this skin also without any personal markings and serial number, for wider use the "Italian Front" mod.

I will also try my luck with getting the swirl camo right on the D.III fuselage.

 

 

[Olham]

Here is a first picture of my late OeFFAG Albatros with the swirl camo, which Lou has made so wonderfully.

 

 

[HouseHobbit]

Many Thanks to all for the help in this..

Quite a group of Masters

The skins are beautiful!!

Bravo!!

WOW you all are too Cool..

 

Nice work, there. Any chane of snow on any of those peaks?

Yes i can do some winter missions, and perhaps some skiing too..

Just getting all of this sorted as i go..

Thanks Guys for the wonderful support..

[HouseHobbit]

Setting up takeoffs, from hangers, and checking on sea planes for use with this..

There will be unexpected and surprising events in Italy it seems..

Many Thanks to all..

Looking forward to it HH.

[Bullethead]

Looking good, HH and Olham!

 

Here's a contribution from me, another KuK-style DFW skin. This one ain't pretty but it's fairly typical of late-war paintjobs. It's based on late-series Brandenburg C.I built by UFFAG (not to be confused with OeFFAG) in mid-1918. The fuselage sides seem to have been neatly painted at the factory with the hex-edged 2-tone scheme common at the time. However, the wings and tail surfaces seem to have arrived at the front unpainted except for the insignia. Or maybe they were taken from another plane that wasn't painted at all. In any case, somebody at the Flik went crazy on it with a spray gun, not taking much care to blend out his spray passes and not caring that the crosses were in the way.

[stumpjumper]

who wants to do a lil testing pm me

[stumpjumper]

Guess this is why they are called phoniex's perhaps they rise from the ashes(<- insert groans for bad pun)

[Olham]

Hey, Bullet - the man has a Phoenix for your hex-camo!

Stumpy, that's amazing!

What else have you built - Austrian and Ialian - that we skinners could paint skins for?

[RAF_Louvert]

.

 

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I'll lend a hand to this when I am home. :yes:

[Herr Prop-Wasche]

Anyone interested in a specific FM for say, an Aviatik or the Albatros DIII OeFFAG, with 225 HP engine? And maybe a DM for them, too?

Edited September 6, 2012 by Herr Prop-Wasche

[Olham]

HPW, I bet they are. Bullethead and Lou may have some knowledge about the FMs.

 

Here comes the finished swirl-camo Albatros now.

The other is Oeffag D.III Ba.153 (Serial: 153.12) from Flik 41J.

According to "Wings Palette" it was flown by Sabsfeldwebel Kaszala and Hauptmann Brumowski (ca. 1917).

Looking good, HH and Olham!

This is Beautiful!!

Thanks very much

[Olham]

...and here is another Flik 41J Albatros. I must admit, that I "borrowed" the emblems

from the "Wings Palette" pics; but hey, it's our "Poor Man's Little Italy Campaign".

 

 

[HouseHobbit]

Something new over Italy, Bombers inbound!!

Engaging the enemy bombers 1917, Sept..

I really like this!

BRAVO!!

 

Do they come in Purple and with Pink Polka dots too?

We Hobbits are like that ya know..

Edited September 6, 2012 by HouseHobbit

[Olham]

NO! NO!!

They do NOT come in any shades of pink or purple! No, they don't!

 

... although... - when I see the Austrian camo fabric made by a furniture company,

and looking like a sofa - I wouldn't be asthonished to see some craft with Polka dots...

[Bullethead]

Damn, Olham, that hand-painted swirl job must have taken you a while to do!
