VERY NICE!!!!

If you ever get the Zep working what about making a little "fictional" zep that has docking capabilities... still dreaming of a "crimson skyish" mod... ;)

Tex

no worries.. Ill post mine when its done..

Nice!!!

Yes and no.

I didnt get a template. I will make a template. Untill then when just trying stuff out to see how I will make the generic skins Im using a lame quick and dirty template.

The lame quick and dirty is from making the black Jasta7 white. This works a little bit but not as well as having a template with good planelines in separate layers.

I will post a template when I have it done. If you want to make one and beat me to it then Id love to use yours.. ;)

Tex

Well its simple I just use the FilenameFormat and it chooses which of the two insignias to use. That wasnt the question.

Question was should I do it like the screens below, (note work in process, placement of decals is not right yet)

The second one does look wrong because we are all so used to seeing the first combination. On the other hand at least I have not seen any late Jasta21 paint jobs at all so I dont know if they even had Pfalzes past the cross change date. But if they had then they could have just changed the crosses on their planes and not necessarily the entire paint job.

Tex

Ok so Im making some generic PflazD3 skins for different Jastas...

Ive got a choise and that is to use decals for crosses or to paint them.

If I use decals then the cross will be true to its time but not necessarily to the paint job.

If I paint them then the skin wount necessarily be true to its time.

If I have the black Jasta 7 skin (which should have a iron cross) then its wrong in a 1917 campaing. On the other hand a Jasta 21 skin with a Maltese cross is wrong in 1918.

Im tempted to go for the decals and have the crosses true to their time. Generic skins arnt ever gonna be right anyways.

Whats your take on it?

Tex

Great polish Alb... would we cool if we could get FE to move over to the east and down south to the alps...

Hey there.

In my effort to enchase the stock campaings Ive come to the conclusion that I need more generic skins for the addon planes. Im wondering if anyone has templates or if they are posted somewhere.

First plane that Im adding is the Pfalz D3 since peter01 has finished the upgrade of the FM.

Tex

PfalzD3 flies great.

Do the weapons of the Pfalz work? the bombs and rockets... heared there was something with the weapons builder that needed an update... has that happened?

Nice will be adding the PfalzDIII to the stock campaings when I get back home..

WWICAMP1_DATA.INI is in the wrong place it should be moved from flight to the wwicamp1 dir

Edward,

How are things going? ;)

Tex

why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly....

Yepp seen it as well... was out with a flight of 7 wingmen and one suddenly just dives and crashes...

And today I had another great one.

Me and the vR brothers ran into Geoffrey Bowman and Frank Soden of the 41st.... I got Geoffrey right of the merge and seconds later Manfred toasted Soden....

Gives great feeling of history seeing known pilots fight around you....

Tex

nice

w0000t!!!!

you gonna post it in the downloads section as well?

or...

Peter could you consider the following as higher prio then the rest?

Bristol F.2B

Martinsyde G100

FE2B

Pfalz D.III

Dolphin

Breguet Br. XIV

That would allow for much more realistic setup of the two stock E1 campaings.

Tex

Just flew a fantastic escort mission. Playing the operation michael as Jasta11.

Two unknown pilots, lothar and I where to escort a huuuuge wing of bombers towards a target west of Arras. Just flying escort to what 8-12 bombers is spectacular. Doing so flying over a big city is even more spectacular. Adding to the excitment was the bad weather. Not one of these extreamly dence fogs just full overcast. Approaching target we get hit by 6 Camels and 2 SE5a´s. In the old game this would have been a walk in the park. No sir not now. We where fighting an extreamly intence furball right next to the bombsite. Bombs exploding, AAA exploding, planes getting hit, smoke and fire everywhere. Never had such a intence experience in any of the TW games. One of the SE5a´s was getting away and I was just happy that I survived it, that Lothar and one of the others where still up in the air. I choose not to see if I can hunt him down. It was time to call it a day.

We ended up sharing the kills. 3 for me, 2 for one of the others, 1 for the other one and 1 for Lothar. 7 kills with 1 loss has to be considered good as these guys where good pilots.

Amazing how good this game is now.

Tex

Seriously Ive not flown much sims at all for the last 6-9 months due to other RL intrests takin up time so I might be rusty as hell but I find FE:E1 to be quite hard.

Ive been playing the second expansion campaing (ace expanded version I posted in another thread) with RAF squadron nr 70 and Im finding it extreamly hard to stay alive and not loose the entire squad.

Tex

Yepp with E1 they actually fight back which they didnt do in FE vanila.

What makes them so deadly is that they combine beeing a great plane with good fighter ablities plus the great gunners of E1.

A RE8 you can always dive in under and shoot from below or come in and rake along the wings from up high but a fighter you tend to endup in a 6 high position and thats where the gunner eats you.
