The S-300 PT is a long-range surface-to-air missile systems produced by NPO Almaz. The S-300 PT is intended to defeat current and future air targets in all conditions of their combat employment under intensive ECM and multiple-threat environments, such as government precincts, industrial facilities, command posts and headquarters, military bases, strategic and tactical airfields and nuclear sites. The S-300 PT system was first deployed by the Soviet Union in 1979, designed for the air defense of large industrial and administrative facilities, military bases, and control of airspace against enemy strike aircraft. The project-managing developer of the S-300 is Russian Almaz corporation which is currently a part of "Almaz-Antei" Air Defense Concern. S-300PT was using 5V55 missiles developed by MKB "Fakel" design bureau. The S-300 PT is also capable of destroying ballistic missile targets and is regarded as one of the most potent anti-aircraft missile systems currently fielded. Its radars have the ability to simultaneously track up to 100 targets while engaging up to 12. S-300 deployment time is five minutes. The S-300 PT missiles are sealed rounds and require no maintenance over their lifetime. A typical battery would be equipped with three 5P85 TELs, each with four SAMs, or double the SAM complement of the S-75/SA-2 it replaced and permitting 2 rounds per launch. The designation of this TEL following a mid-life block upgrade became 5P85-1. INSTALLATION: Drop everything from archive to your "Objects" folder. LICENSE: All models are made by me from the scratch.

Vosges Terrain (inkl. 1916 campaign) 1.2 Re-worked Vosges terrain V2.0 ***************************** New: V2.0 - Including winter season INTRODUCTION The Vosges Front is a mountainous area ranging from the Donon in the north and the Grand Ballon in the south. The old border between the German Empire and France from 1871 to 1918, now in Alsace and the Lorraine, was the only area of the Western Front to see mountain fighting during the Great War With transportation infrastructure and technology, impacts on the landscape and strategic challenges related to climate and geographic constraints, the Vosges mountains were the scene of numerous battlefields. DETAILS - This version of the Vosges front is 'based' on the work of Stephen1918 and Gepard. But virtually everything was modified (height-map to a massive degree, towns, front line, rivers, etc.) - Existing versions of this map will NOT be overwritten with this version, since the folder is named 'wwiVosges'. - You'll find a new map within FE called 'Vosges, France'. - I've tried to include as much as possible into the terrain folder. This means certain object were made 'static'. - Certain targets are at the very edge of the terrain. This might cause certain issues when flying into the virtual 'wall', e.g. edge of the map. - To minimize the repetitive feeling of flying over tiles I've added a lot of green fields (fields without trees). - The included campaign is just a small one with the possibility to fly recon and bombing missions (France/Germany). NEW STUFF - Train lines and trainstations (major cities and minor towns) - 'Waterfalls' and shipping locks - Small airfields and very large airfields - Zeppelin airfield - A rather busy frontline (make sure you've the needed objects) - Switzerland as neutral country, altough it doesn't work 100% but that's an issue based on the game-engine. Including two Swiss airfields and a border with various gates, flags, bunkers, etc. INCLUDED - Vosges terrain/front WW1 (incl. two seasons) - Ground objects - German/French reconnaissance campaign set in 1916 FAQs Q: Is it based on the already existing 'Vogesen' map? A: Yes, but actually only as a basis. Everything was changed/adapted (heightmap, tilemap, targets, etc.). Q: Does it include more than one season? A: No, currently not. Q: Is the frontline correct? A: Yes as good as it gets, representing late 1916/early 1917 with certain omissions. Q: Are all the named towns and cities correct (placement and naming)? A: Yes as good as it gets. French denominations and German denominations. INSTALLATION 1. Make a backup copy of your First Eagles folder (just in case) 2. Extract the file into a temporary folder (like c:\temp\) 3. Copy all the relevant folders into the respective First Eagles game folders (example: c:\temp\Vosges\Terrain\Vosges into your c:\Program Files\First Eagles\Terrain folder) PREREQUISITES - FE Gold (might work also with FE2, sorry guys don't know), with the latest patch - Aircraft for the included campaign: CaudronG4 RumplerC1 Nieuport10 Nieuport11 Nieuport12 Voisin3_150 Voisin5 AlbatrosC3 AviatikC2 FokkerEIIIa FokkerD2 AviatikC2 Dfwci Walfisch LloydC2 CREDITS As usual I want to say thank you to all guys who helped me to create the Vosges terrain: TK, Jan Tuma, Stephen1918 (for the improved Vogesen version from Gepard), Geezer (great ground objects), ojcar, Gepard (for the initial Vogesen version), Heck, geo, quack74, Edward, A-Team (airplanes not included), Guitarclassic55 (for the wonderful menu) and a lot of others.

Little mod of the Spad VII to turn it into a Spad XII (apologies and acknowledgement to Gr.Viper who went before me) Model changes: removal of the nose humps and reskin XXX_data.ini changes: tweaked flight model reflecting the much heavier weight, more powerful engine (220hp nominal), wing stagger, better aerodynamics, and more wing area New weapon (37mm S.A.M.C.) New (it’s a mod of stock) reloading sound for the canon (its slow), New firing effect for the canon (cockpit smoke) New hanger and loading screens The canon is on the secondary fire button and takes 12 sec to reload (new sound more or less reflects this) It has 12 reloads I have seen the A.I get infrequent hits with this setup (I’m pretty infrequent too) --------------------------------------------------- A few “Facts” The Spad XII was a beefed up version of the Spad VII with a new engine (Hispano-Suiza 8Cb 220hp) and a slightly more refined fuselage, more wing area and the most obvious difference, slight wing stagger (something we can’t do with the stock model) It had a 37mm S.A.M.C. semi-automatic canon with twelve reloads mounted to fire through the prop hub and with the breech situated between the pilot’s legs Because of the breech placement the controls were of the Deperdussin type (wheel) After initial enthusiasm for the aircraft by the French ace Georges Guynemer, the Aéronautique Militaire placed an order for 1000 airframes, However the Spad XII proved very difficult to fly with its unfamiliar controls, the new weapon filled the cockpit with smoke on firing and was difficult to aim and reload, and to cap it off, the new Hispano-Suiza proved to be unreliable Its doubtful that more than twenty aircraft were completed and these were issued singly to individual Aces of the Aéronautique Militaire, There were never more than 6-8 on the front at any one time and they were widely spread throughout the Escadrille’s --------------------------------------------------- Top speed 220kph at SL Ceiling 7000m Empty weight 628kg --------------------------------------------------- Files New Reloading sound: gun_reloadlg.wav goes in the Sounds folder The SOUNDLIST.INI must be modified to add the sound (this must be extracted to the flight folder if you haven’t already) see below New gunfire effect: 37mmSpad.ini must be placed in the effects folder New cannon must be added to the bottom of your GUNDATA.INI (this must be extracted to the Objects folder if you haven’t already) see below, and then the GUNDATA.INI must be opened and saved with the gun editor New aircraft folder SPAD_XII placed in the Objects/aircraft folder This contains 4 skins (the French aces, Nungesser of Esc65, Madon of 38ESC, Fonck of Esc103 and Guynemer of Esc3), the Ini’s necessary for the craft, a hanger screen and two version of the loading screen: wide(default) and normal (you must rename it to use it) --------------------------------------------------- SOUNDLIST.INI Add near the top of the file: --------------------------------------------------- SoundFile0XX=gun_reloadlg /////////////////////XX is the next number in the sequence above --------------------------------------------------- And at the bottom add: --------------------------------------------------- [gun_reloadlg] Priority=HIGH 3DSound=FALSE NumBuffers=1 Looped=FALSE --------------------------------------------------- GUNDATA.INI Add at the bottom of the file --------------------------------------------------- [GunData0XX] //////////////////////////////////XX is the next sequential number TypeName=37MM_SAMC FullName=37mm SAMC Moteur canon Caliber=37.000000 ROF=1.000000 MuzzleVel=400.000000 AmmoWt=0.650000 WarheadWt=0.035000 Reliability=97.000000 Accuracy=70.000000 AddLight=TRUE MaxLightRange=1000.000000 FireColor=0.150000,0.100000,0.100000 GunFireEffect=37mmFireEffectEnH GunFireSound=TankGun EffectClassName=37mmEffects EffectTime=10.000000 TracerTexture=Tracer.tga TracerSize=0.150000 TracerDistFactor=0.002000 TracerLength=0.015000 MaxVisibleDist=4000.000000 MaxStreakVisibleDist=1000.000000 TimeFuzed=FALSE --------------------------------------------------- Important: the GUNDATA.INI must be saved in the gun editor after manual editing Have fun :yes: V
