Thats odd. I've never had that problem before. Even with the Pfalz D.III skins I've done. Sorry I cant help with this one.

Oh MAN! Do I have to give a speech?! "I would like to thank the academy........." just kidding. Well I think we need a "late" war German two seater since there is already some early and mid. So how about the Halberstadt CL.IV? That was pretty successfull from what I've heard. Great at ground attack and ground support. Sorry CrazyHorse, but I went with the newer Halberstadt Thanks Laton.

"The First of Many" Funny. I added the new "narrowplt" to my Pup. But didnt change the position first. Looks like a crazy stunt. Not trying to win with this one. Just thought it would be a good one to share.

File Name: Italian SVA5 "87a" Squadriglia File Submitter: quack74 File Submitted: 6 May 2009 File Category: WW1 Aircraft This is the Italian 87a Squadriglia 1918. Used in the Austro-Hungarian fronts. There are three styles included. 1. Plain finish with side banner. 2. Star spotted tail with side banner. 3. White Tail with side banner. All three styles were mixed in to the Squadriglia as personal markings. I think . well enjoy them, quack74 Click here to download this file

This ramming and colliding stuff has got to stop!!!!! Has anybody fixed this yet???? Everybody is getting inihilated only seconds into the dogfight. I know people have complained about this before. Thats why I ask if anyone has fixed this problem. The AI loves colliding. Saves bullets I guess

Here is some of 87a Squadriglia. Kind of hard to get a good red banner against the wood fuselage. But I think it'll do. Just working on a number decal for the Tail. I'll post them when done. There are three different kinds. 87a plain tailed 87a star tailed 87a white tailed w red elevators. Not 100% on the correct colors of course, but close.

Hey Laton, would you be able to tell me the coordinates of the VertTail for decal placement? I cant seem to place a decal on the tailfin. Cant get the coords right. It's longer than most thats for sure. //// Forget it Laton, I got it ///////

Hi guys. sorry I havnt been on for a few days. But to clarify a bit, I really do experiance a lot of AI collisions. Most campaigns or single missions with big furballs, I am the only one to return home. As soon as my flight engages the enemy a hand full collide right away. I understand there were lots of collisions, for real, but between all the collisions and others being shot down my flights are being desimated. Too me it's just a little too much. All my settings are set to hard. All I really wanted to know is there any way to cut back on the ramming? Even just a little? I dont blame anyone. Especially not pete01. Sorry peter01 . I also just wanted to know if anyone has had the same problem. I think I'm just being too critical of this game. It's just frustrating when you fly a mission and everyone is killed. A bit unrealistic. Mostly due to the ramming when the engagement starts. I can live with it. If others arent having the same kind of problem then thats ok w me. I dont want to take up too much time with this . But thanks for your input though. :yes:

I just posted a new skin for the SVA5. It'll be ready as soon as it's approved.

File Name: Italian SVA5 "70a" Squadriglia File Submitter: quack74 File Submitted: 2 May 2009 File Category: WW1 Aircraft This is a generic skin for the Italian SVA5. It represents the 70a Squadriglia in 1918. used on the Autro-Hugarian front. Thanks Laton for this model and the original skin. This new skin and skin only done by quack74.

Scratch everything I said before I found some real photos. You were right. The color profile I found was wrong. :umnik2: Sorry about that Laton.

Hey Laton, in some photos I've seen, I think the teardrop shaped upper wing strut mounts on the fuselage appear to be higher. About where the metal cowling meets the wood fuselage. I noticed this when trying to add the "70" marking to skin I was working on. The photos show the "70" bigger and higher. But with the mounts so low I cant get it 100%. I could be very wrong or the color profile I saw could be wrong. If so I'm sorry But see what you think. If it's even possible to change at this time anyway. I can make do either way. Not that big a deal. Still an awsome model no matter what. Thanks for the compliments

Here's one I am working on. Just need to fix the "70" on fuselage. It belongs to the Italian 70a Squadriglia circa 1918. Any info or comments please feel free. Thanks Laton for the model and original skin.

File Name: Jasta 5 Vzfw Josef Mai File Submitter: quack74 File Submitted: 2 May 2009 File Updated: 2 May 2009 File Category: WW1 Aircraft This is Fokker Dr.1 139/17 of Jasta 5. This aircraft was a hand down from Jasta 11 originally piloted by Ltn von Conta. It was then piloted by Ltn Hans-Joachim von Hippel and Vzfw Josef Mai both of jasta 5. I chose to use Vzfw Josef Mai as the pilot. Enjoy, quack74 Click here to download this file

Where do I install this? The EnvironmentSystem is a .dll file located in the System folder. I cant open it.

I agree w you 100% on that Tailspin. Thats a needed effect. It would also be cool if the plane's pieces would remain on the ground w the smoke after impact. The planes fall apart in the air why not also hitting the ground? That being said ( not to venture to far from the main topic at hand) is there a way to keep the plane from exploding on the ground when the wing tips hit the ground. Ex: when taxiing and turning a little sharp or even landing a little too hard and the wing tips just touch the ground the planes explode. How do you change this? Sorry this probably should have been on a different thread. But yeah longer smoke time for sure!

Cant wait to get my hands on it . By the way what year or years was it in action? Did it fight against the Phonix?

Well if everyone else is ok with it than maybe it is just me. I just find it quite anoying. I'm usually the only one that makes it home. Even with air activity set to heavy. I know collisions happen. Just the inability for the AI to turn before ramming seems abit off. Oh well, Thanks guys. Oh yeah, what about the formations at take-off. Anyone know how to fix this? Getting them to form up much faster.

Hi bucky All my settings are set to hard. But 80% of the time when the formations merge to dogfight, half of them crash into eachother. Than as the dogfighting continues more ramming goes on and sometimes I'll get rammed by the enemy and by my own. It just happens way too much. It's kind of a letdown when you start from takeoff only to reach the enemy 15mins or more later to see everyone crash head-on. Maybe it's just me but I thought I saw a thread about this problem. The AI just doesnt know not to kill its self. WWII maybe but not so much WWI . Also whats with the AI on takeoff? My Jasta seems to all fly away from me until the next waypoint. Even when I give command to rejoin. So I need to circle for a bit so they all catch up. Very time consuming I know there is something that can be done about formations but I'm not sure what.

File Name: Hansa-PhonixKD1 Flik 41J 8 pack File Submitter: quack74 File Submitted: 19 Apr 2009 File Category: WW1 Aircraft This is a pack of 8 Hansa-PhonixKD1 skins. All are from Flik 41J, 1917. I believe they where mainly used at the Austro-Hungarian/ Italian front (Eastern Front). Not sure of any pilots or serial #'s. But thanks to southside bucky for the info on the red and white checkered Hansa. As it belonged to Oblt. Frank Linke-Crawford. And the Ying-Yang was possibly flown by Feldwebel Karl Kaszala. I would like to thank Laton for his incredible work on his Hansa-PhonixKD1 model and the original skin. Very nice work . Enjoy, quack74 P.S. Anybody have any info on these planes please let me know or just post in the forums. Click here to download this file
