Preaching to the choir my good man Do what you can when you can. That's all any of us could ask for. Thanks for taking on this task. A hand full of guys here know how much work it is.

Is it a new terrain using Jan Tuma's tiles? Or are you altering an existing terrain? If it has big mountains and deep valleys then you have my approval for sure!

Stephen1918, Could you include the skins you made for the "new" nations' aircraft?

Oh man! Time for another install of FE

Great stuff you guys. This sim is just never ending. I love it!

Totally

Awsome Stephen1918!

No.46 Sqdn Capt. A S G Lee:

Here are Pups of Naval 3's C Flight. They are for the most part historically accurate but a bit of artistic license was needed on a couple. I assumed the fuselage letters corrisponded with the the first letter of each pilots last name like that of Flt Lt R G Macks pup "Black Tulip" marked "M". And Edmun Pierce's pup "Black Arrow" marked "P". Also Len Rochford's pup "Black Bess" was said to have a head of a black horse painted on it. But there are no photos to confirm this. So I painted one on anyway. I'll include one with out the head incase some of you dont like it. I had to do some reading in three different books to confirm the serials with the pilots and the proper flight. So this is what I came up with ( not 100% positive) Flt Lt. R G Mack: "Black Tulip" N6172 - M Edmund Pierce: "Black Arrow" N6171 - P - w/ black arrow Raymond Collishaw: "Black Maria" N6160 - C Len Rochford: "Black Bess" N6207 - R - w/ horse head Art Wealy: "Black Prince" N6194 - W

It is a lot of work to make the decals, to place them in the decals.INI, then find the right coordinates on the plane, then to number all the .TGA decal files to fill the 100 slots the game uses for decals. And then to get different decals numbered the same to match up on the plane at the same time, and then create a numbers list to be able to select what scheme you want to use. Why I do it? I dont really know but I do like the outcome and I like sharing it with everyone else. It's a fun hobby. Every time I get new WWI book or see new profiles I feel like I need to get to work on them asap. I've done so many for myself for my campaigns. It makes the game exciting and more intense when I go head to head with a "Known Ace" and his crate.

That is pretty cool

Since I spent a whole day trying to get a dual Vickers Triplane to work not knowing Peter01 already had a Data.ini already made,Duh! I decided to create textured decals to be placed right on the triplane and create all three flights for Naval 10. Red (A Flight), Black (B Flight), and Blue (C Flight). I'm still working on them to get the colors right and I will use the original decals for B Flight to create Collishaws' famous "Black Flight". I know they came with the SkunkWorks Triplane, I'm just going to add the decals to my new skins. By using the decals you can just select Naval 10 in the single missions loadout screen and randomly fly any of the 3 flights. If you create a new aircraft called "Triplane 10RNAS" or something along those lines then if you like to fly an Albatros D.III or D.V then you might come across these flights in the big blue. Should be pretty cool. I did this w the Jasta11 D.III's and Jasta19 Dr.I's awhile back. I should post these in a few days.

Bravo Stephen1918! She's a beauty.

Works for me now. Thank you Erik.

I know you're working on it but just letting you know I'm getting the same thing in FE forums. Cant upload .JPEGs in PM either. Same message. The attachment tab says "Undefined" too.

Finally posted! If anyone has problem with the install in anyway, please let me know. If anyone finds a mistake with any of the decals, again please let me know. Enjoy them guys!

File Name: Naval 10 Sopwith Triplanes File Submitter: quack74 File Submitted: 26 December 2012 File Category: Sopwith Skins This download will create the Naval 10 (10RNAS) Triplanes used in the Spring and Summer of 1917. Decals are used to create all three flights of Naval 10 A Flight - red B Flight - black C Flight - blue There are 15 different color schemes. Each Flight has 5 aircraft color schemes.

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate today! Ho Ho Ho!

Very interesting concept. Looks good to me

So Brumowski was at 9,000ft and I saw him loosing altitude really fast. I assumed he was dead so I watched him fall. Lesson learned?, dont dive in a N27 Brumowski.wmv

you mean they're not WWI aviator coats?

I'm just about done. I had to add more detail decals. I had to make all the rigging holes from decals and place them all over the plane. Needless to say it took some time but well worth it. I also ran into a snag with ONE decal out of place that threw off my plan. Out of a couple hundred decals I finally found the mis-numbered decal. Just doing some final testing. Here are some pics. Remember all skins you see are from one skin folder using decals to create the different flights in order.

I finally finished these. When you see all the decals in the "D" folder you'll see why it took so long . So I made decals for 15 planes. 5 for A Flight, 5 for B Flight and 5 for C Flight. But if you have Naval 10 as the default skin I made 100 decals for each decal name so all these Flights will always appear in order if you use Naval 10 or if Naval 10 is just AI. I also created a numbers list for upto 15 planes with the Pilots names of Naval10. So you can select which flight or flights you want to use. Hard to explain but it works and is very cool if you are a D.III of Jasta11 and you come across a Squadron of triplanes and see all the different colors and particuliar ace markings. You'll see. I'll post them tomorrow sometime.
