+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I've uploaded an Austro-Hungarian version of the Albatros D.II. It was very similar to the German version, but had a bigger engine and carried only one machine gun. There were also minor differences in the tail, the wings, and the cockpit. Not many were produced but it was an excellent fighter at the time and used on both the Italian and Eastern Fronts. I have included one skin and decals appropriate for this plane. Mu thanks to Ojcar for another excellent FM! Thanks also to Nix who provided the sound file for the Austro-Daimler 185hp engine. (I have a hunch that we're going to need another Austro-Hungarian fighter soon.) Edited June 8, 2015 by Stephen1918 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+quack74 329 Posted June 9, 2015 (I have a hunch that we're going to need another Austro-Hungarian fighter soon.) First I would like to say thanks for another great plane. Perfect for some mid-war flying in the Italian map. Second I would like to say another Austro-Hungarian plane would be great. What did you have in mind?

+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted June 9, 2015 Actually, I meant that we might have a need for this plane sometime soon... I have two planes in progress at the moment, a Farman F.30, and a Roland D.II. In both I'm finishing the detail work and starting the skins. It will be a few weeks at least before they're done. After that... what did you have in mind? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted June 11, 2015 First of all, I want to thank you for your wonderfull work. However I have long wanted to ask you, why all the Albatrosses, made by you, it is not quite correctly shown the cables of the Elevator control? Please, dont think I'm being mean, but still...

+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted June 11, 2015 Um... I honestly have no answer to that question. It will take some time to rebuild the cable animations, but I can have correct versions made relatively soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very different aircraft and great choices. Thank you for all this work Stephen. I've uploaded an Austro-Hungarian version of the Albatros D.II.

Excellent modelling as always. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted June 12, 2015 Actually, I meant that we might have a need for this plane sometime soon... I have two planes in progress at the moment... After that... what did you have in mind? Somewhere here I read that you wanted to make a new, more realistic Triplane. It's an interesting idea. But there are a lot of interesting aircraft of the WWI that are not represented in FE. You have to choose from. I would suggest to make the plane A.W.F.K.8 (known as the "Big Ack"). Also you can pay attention to Caudron G.3 or Junkers J.4. For a map of Galicia necessary reconnaissance plane Anade (your Anasal is good, but these aircraft came too late and did not have time to work on the front). For operations over the sea could use floatplanes Hansa Brandenburg W.12 or W.29 and a flying boats F.B.A. C or H. All in all, you may take any plane of your choice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
extremeone 13 Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Yes, I agree. And many more that would be great to have in the game as well. I think that some of the the best of the truly amazing additions to FE2 the past couple of years have been all the 2-seaters that were sorely lacking in the past. The palestine, russian and italian fronts expansions (planes as well as campaigns, terrains) have greatly added to and improved the game as well. But some really big improvements for me have been the better and more realistic models of some our existing planes initially done ages ago - the ones that you live with for completeness, but just detract from the game. Planes like the Albatros D2, Airco DH4, Fokker D2, RAF Be2s, Martinsyde G100, Halberstadt D and others. The Triplane is in that latter category. The real one was far more sleek looking than the stubby model currently in the game, especially the nose, perhaps the wings too. I's obvious when you look at pictures or videos of replica Triplanes. I like the Tripe as do many I think, and the current one is just an eyesore . Stephen already has done a model a very good model of the Tripe, it's on his site, and it looks right. The fact it's not in the game yet seems a tragedy . Stephen also has models of the Pup and the Avro 504 on his site that could be considered - they look right./far better than what we have. And two interesting ones not yet in the game - the Blériot XI and the Taube. Edited June 12, 2015 by extremeone 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted June 13, 2015 As promised, I have uploaded new versions of all my Albatros D.IIs with correct elevator control cables. Some time ago, I made new skins for the German D.IIs, and I have included them in the new version, along with new Hangar and Loading screens. http://combatace.com/files/file/15526-oeffag-built-albatros-dii/ http://combatace.com/files/file/13515-albatros-dii-2-pack/ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Excellent! Now everything is all right. It must be admitted that the efficiency of your work is beyond praise. Thank you very much, Stephen. Edited June 14, 2015 by Crowford 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawford 570 Posted February 2, 2016 As promised, I have uploaded new versions of all my Albatros D.IIs with correct elevator control cables. Reviewing my collection, I again found this photo. As you can see, you and I were on the right way.)) With your permission, I'll leave it here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
