It's taken a looooong time to develop new FMs for the new aircraft, in addition it takes me a long time to make the models and skins. Having said that, the Pfalz D3 and D3a, plus the Nieuport 17 and 23 are nearing completion. For variety, we also worked on the Caudron R11 and it is also nearing completion. All have been developed for FE2 to take advantage of dds format artwork, which reduces workload on the game engine. Crawford succeeded in converting the art to bmp format so he could run the aircraft in FE1. All releases will include a graphics pack of templates and baseline artwork, similar to my earlier releases of the Gladiator and CR42, plus developer notes from VonS and Crawford included with the aircraft release. Once we push the aircraft listed out the door, we will continue work on the Nieuport 24, 24bis, 27, and 28. Eventually, every Nieuport sesquiplane release will have a Lewis gun armed version - it's less confusing to complete baseline aircraft first. Then, the Pfalz D8 and Halberstadt CL4 will be refined and finished, followed by the Breguet 14 bomber. Models inwork for next year are Bleriot 11, Sopwith Triplane and Pup, and Berg D1. More dawn patrol shots below.

We keep working on file improvements to the many Nieuports. Things have progressed far enough to make new hangar and loading screens.
