Firecage

Release 1.1
06-20-09
Nov-2008 Patch required
 
This release does not have the added terrain mods, Balloon sets, or MG bunkers. I am waiting on a reply from the orig. designers of those mods to make sure they are good with including them in the Fest.
 
Take all folders (1915,1916,1917,1918) and add them to your campaign folders.
 
They will appear as 4 different campaigns in your drop down menu.
 
I tried to get accurate release dates and hopefully each lane will show up on the dates around the time of actual release.
 
All of the testing has been with Peter01's FM plane mods on all the planes that he has done. There are also some planes in these campaigns that peter has not done an FM for but, they worked just fine and alot of them are AI and have been tested as much as I could.
 
There are some planes that are not included at this time and I am looking at releasing a new version soon that may have more planes included. As it stands right now I have around 60 planes in the 4 campaigns. I usualy have some spelling errors and such so a new update should be along very soon to correct those.

I will release a new update on this as I work out a problem on squad sizes and supplies that’s giving me trouble.
 
Enjoy

If you want the fastest way to go between the two terrains then DL this and follow the install notes. You can then switch between the two with the flick of a button. (1/13/07)

I have a new WWICAMBRAI_TARGETS file to add a bit more realistic feel to the game.
 
This release (more to follow) has Balloons scattered around the map by a large amount from the original release.
 
I have added anywhere from 6-10 Balloons around the 6 major cities in the game as well as a few AAA sites in each.
 
Every airfield will have a balloon at its corner. I wanted to make it easier to fly to and from airfields and also add to some scenery to each area.
 
There are about 20-30 balloon recon stations that follow the front lines so at almost any point you cross no-mans land you should see at least 1 observation balloon somewhere near you.
 
All in all there are probably around 80-100 new Balloons and AAA added, mostly balloons.
 
Enjoy and thanks for any suggestions you may have to add to this.
 
You need to have the 2nd expansion pack for this to work. :yes:
This is ONLY the WWICAMBRAI_TARGETS file. Please back up your old targets.ini file before overwriting. :yes:
 
 
:yes:

 
These skins are for the Dr1 in the expansion pack and will not work on the ATeam model.
 
 
Enjoy

THIS IS FOR FE PRE EXPANSION PACK! THIS MAY NOT WORK WELL AFTER THE EXP PACK IS INSTALLED. I HAVE NOT TESTED IT YET..
 
Firecage Plane Fest 4.0
 
 
1st off …. Tip of the Hat to all the plane makers… thank you for the time and effort your putting in so I can have fun 
 
This campaign has about 60 airplanes in it now. (see note above)
 
I do all the testing on hard FM and all settings to hard. So if things don’t seem even in normal mode that’s why.
 
All of the plane sets have been done to make room for the newest planes that the mod people have available.
 
I have moved the start dates back to October 5th 1915 to make more room for so many early planes and still have time to enjoy and learn each one well.
 
I have redone all the upgrade plane dates so the planes match up as closely as I can. As normal I try and balance what is available. I do my best with what I have.
 
Bomber squads available for the RAF and Germans. (flyable)
 
Fixed a few text entries to docs that were showing wrong versions in game.
 
Please read the installation and Plane Fest Doc for more info.

THIS IS FOR FE PRE EXPANSION PACK! THIS MAY NOT WORK WELL AFTER THE EXP PACK IS INSTALLED. I HAVE NOT TESTED IT YET..
 
Welcome to Flanders !!!
 
Please read the planesused.txt, the Planefest doc, and the installation.txt files for more info.
 
 
1. The Fest is now split into (2) parts to make the campaign work properly.
• One Campaign is RAF vs Germany
• One Campaign isFrance vs Germany.
 
2. Every Fighter Squadron will start from their own base. No base is shared between squads now. ** see the included .psp file for base locations.
 
3. There may be bomber and fighter squads at same bases but not as a norm.
 
4. This campaign uses a large amount of the Flanders Map. The squads are spread out quite a bit so I am hopeful all the squads will see different areas of the map in missions.
 
5. There are no flyable bomber squads at this time.
 
6. I have made a very intensive set of ground war paths so this should make for more ground realism in missions.
 
7. For designing this campaign I used the following:
 
• Firecage FM for the DR1
• Peter01 FM’s for Bortdafarms Planes
• Rotagen’s FM for Borts DIII
• Ver 3.0 FMs for Latons Pfalz and Morane’s
• Hard FM mode for the flight model
• Flanders Terrain by Edward.
 
You do not have to use these add-on FM’s at all, it’s your call. This is only information what I used to test and design with since I get asked a lot.

Ok 1st skin for me on TK's new planes. Here is an diufferent skin for the Red barons plane with different decals and this one has the lighter underside finish on it. I also did some work to have the orig camo show through a bit more so add some over paint look to it. Didn't fade it through alot but just a bit. Also made the eng cowling the off white as in some photos I have seen on web sites and some models out there.
 
Credits to TK and his crew for the original skins of course. :yes:

The A - Team has given me permission to release this to the forums and combat ace but that doesn't mean they endorse it yet. They may be sitting back laughing to hard to speak yet. Ya just never know.
 
Enough on that... its tuned for hard FM, Its a freak show to fly, its like riding on glass at times.... but if you work with it some you will find its a mean machine IMHO.
 
After being shown some articles from people who have been in the cockpits of a dr1, I tried to make the plane have the results they described. The plane seem to be washy and tends to be a bit un ruley but, if you can get hold of the reigns it's a blast.
 
This FM blows on normal, sorry
 
This is only version 1.0 trial runs. I have an account on CA and you can msg any useful info to me there for FM suggestions.
 
Installation :Go to wwi>objects>aircraft>dr1 Back up your dr1_Data.ini somewhere and drop this one in its place.
 
Firecage

Ok, In order to cut down on some email requests <snicker>....
 
Here is the Dr1 from Ateam in a worn faded red suit. I keep getting people wanting this from the Pic in the Campaign so here it is again.
 
Im really doing more on the Plane Fest campaigns right now. There are so many talented painters here so there are always a ton of skins here so get to DL'ing and enjoy.
 
Thanks to God,mom,dad,all the apostles... my sis and the kids.... tk and ateam... the guy on the corner selling papers in the rain ......

Tridyed Productions FE Terrain Pack V1.0
 
After flying the FE sim for a few days the 1st thing I wanted was the terrainto be more vivid and not look so hazy and filtered.
 
I have enhanced the detail of each tile and also did some 3 rendering to make things pop a bit more.
 
As you get near the grond the detail work sill show up as more farm areas with plwed fields and rows of crops. I have added a few dirt roads here and there and changed the forest fextures to be more vibrant and have more contrast.
 
I have added some small tree areas as well as some rocky fields and small pond area's. most areas just look alot more vivid and clearer.
 
 
Now has the corrected installation notes. (1/13/07)
 
Also If you want the fastest way to go between the two terrains then go Here and DL this and follow the install notes. You can then switch between the two with the flick of a button. (1/13/07)

Ok a set of mission set for use with our winter terrain packs. Time and conditions already set for you ....
 
They are mostly 12 v 12 missioon and soem have more bombers included as well. No small dogfights in my house
 
Install to the missions folder and enjoy....
