I've done dozens of skins for the Skunkworks Oef D.III (which really isnt an Oef D.III other than its rounded nose) that are included in my "Battle of Caporetto" campaign. I will gladly redo every one of them for Jan Tumas Oef D.III. These last couple of weeks have been pretty exciting for FE huh. Thanks to Stephen1918 and Jan Tuma! I have a bunch of Aviatik D.I skins coming out soon and the Phonix DII using the same Aviatik decals for different Fliks. I've just been so busy at work I havnt been able to finish anything yet. Soon though. Just a question...Is the Aviatik D.I a little out of scale or was it a bit bigger than most other planes. Because in a lineup of Aviatik D.I's and Phonix D.II's and Alb D.III Oef's the Aviatik seems huge. Not that big a deal. Just thought I'ld ask. I guess I'm really askin Stephen1918. Is the scaling correct on the D.I? Is the D.I big or is the Phonix D.II too small?

Ditto!

That last skin looks much better than the original ones. Will you be posting the new skin as the default skin?

I've been waiting and waiting for a D.II. Looks like I can scratch yet another from my wish list What can I say other than beautiful work once again Stephen1918. Cant wait for this one either "The Battle of the Piave River" campaign sounds like it just might happen now. Spring 1918. I should have enough aircraft. Some "Hack" two-seaters will do for now. Awsome stuff Stephen1918! Any luck trying the "Bump" mapping? I know you're using FEG so you wouldnt be able to see the "Bump" effects. But it makes all the difference with the models in FE2 using DirectX 10 or higher.

Out standing work once again Stephen1918. I was surprized to see this one in the DL section so soon. Very cool!

Makes me want to go upstairs and play a few missions from my "Caporetto" campaign and do some more skins!

Too bad there isnt a WWI Eastern Front map (yet). Actually, too bad there isnt a real Italian Front map either. I've tried to make one.Too hard for me to figure out. BTW the Sikorsky's looking awsome Stephen1918. Cant wait to fly it along with some Nieuports and a MoraneN. Even early SPAD7's all in Russian markings. Could open a whole nother theatre for FE

Some early D.1's with the wing mounted gun. (Yes it's a Lewis) Flik63J mid production with guns mounted on sides of engine cowling And a couple from Flik42J (red/white wheels) One with wing mounted gun and the other has the side mounted guns I have a few more to make then I'll clean them up a bit and post them for you. Hope you dont mind the Lewis gun for the early D.1's. It's all we have for now. FYI the side guns are just painted on.

Here is a pic of an early Aviatik (38 series, dont mind the serial number) WIP with an upper wing gun. The only one available is the Lewis gun. I got it all to work and aim correctly. My question is, is there a way to remove the Drum from the Lewis using the "Remove mesh" trick in the Lewis' DATA.ini? This would make it look like a Schwarzlose single gun. I'm using the Single Lewis Angled Gun BTW from the Weapons folder.

Thanks guys, I'll try the SkunkWorks site. If I find a gun that looks close enough somewhere I'll use that. I would like to move the guns to the forward nose area on each side too.

Very cool Stephen1918! Add this one to some early Nieuports and SPAD7's and we have an early eastern front. Cant wait. Thanks a bunch.

A couple more skins almost finished.

Well it's been two and a half months and finally my little girl gets to come home. She was born 2 and a half months ago in Manhatten (thank God). She was three months premature. But all is well and she's ready to come home. My poor wife was at the hospital every day for 12 straight weeks. She was admitted two weeks prior (Bed rest). No one knows way it happened this way but it did. Thank God and all the Docs and nurses for their knowledge and kindness. They were all great. We on the other hand were a mess in the begining. We didnt know what to expect. But it all worked out in the end (or the beginning) It will be a good day today. We can all be home together. My two year old is sooo excited! It's a beautiful day here in NY. Good day to come home.

I'll have at least one skin ready for you guys very soon. Working on serial numbers (138 series) and a few personal markings. Need to touchup a few minor details on the plane itself too. Lookin good. And a huge thanks to Stephen1918! This model is beautiful. Some of us have been waiting a long time for an Aviatik D.1. Hats off to Stephen 1918 for his time and effort. Cant wait to see what's next!

Panels, stitches and hinges. Note also the strut mounts on the wings. Need a bit more work on lower wings.

I've sent Jan Tuma a few messages. But no response. Maybe it's squashed. Seemed like he was almost done creating the model too. Too bad if its a no go for sure. I for one was really looking forward to a real Oef looking D.III.

I'm using ShrikeHawks' clouds taken from SF2. And the horizon clouds (sky) are from SF1. I dont remember the name of who created it. But I use a mix of .tga's to create my sky. They can all be found in the SF1 and SF2 download section. Try them out and find a mix you like. I think you can use different EnvironmentSystems.ini too

Stephen1918 has been working hard trying to get this Aviatik-Berg D.1 ready for FE. Very close to completion.

Hello Stephen1918! Nice to see you in the forums. This stuff is addicting. I'm sure you'll like it as much as we do. Cant wait to see the Aviatik

I like the Jasta77b Pfalz D.IIIa

this is a WIP of my Caporetto campaign. I'm creating "Crash sites" with ground crew, trucks, wagons, and ofcourse deceased aircrews. No blood and guts so its nice and clean. It looks really cool when taking of or landing. It can be made as a crash sit anywhere on the map. I'm going to mak a few different ones. Note the photo with ground crews working on a Hansa-Brandenberg D.I
