This wonderful repaint of the old and tired Somme is brought to you by Gypsy9! It will add a whole new level to FS-WWI. :D While weighing in at an astonishing 80mb, every bit of it is WELL worth it! Some of the building and the main tree textures should now appear more crisp as well as a bug was fixed regarding the texture size reported in Open Plane Studio. Those that cannot handle such a download can request it on CD (Along with the rest of the FS-WWI Online Standard) at the usual place. (On my FS-WWI Site or the Content Section here) Of course you can continue to use the old Somme terrain. ;) While this terrain is still not complete, it is a HUGE improvement over the original. Those who wish to finish off the last small bits please e-mail me. List of things still to do: -Align the airfield and town textures properly with the rest of the terrain -Add ground shadows where the buildings lie. Download if from here: Full Somme Repaint Enjoy!

This kite has finally come to the end of its long journey. First started by Aladar some 2+ years ago, she has undergone many model improvements, flight model tweaks, mostly new cockpit design and a beautiful hi-res skin by Wat32. Please be sure to read the readme file for installation and to get the bombs working properly as well as the key commands for this kite. You MUST have the FS-WWI Online Standard installed for this download to work properly. Download it here: Breguet 14 B2 Beta Enjoy! :)

Hello! Yes I just picked it up today in fact! VERY fun game with really good graphics! The FM aint too bad either and the sounds are amazing! There is already a few tweaks at SimHQ to turn off rockets and a no cd patch and a few other things. :)

Thanks in large to Mossie for research material and Wat32 for his excellent hi-res skin the Ilya Muromets V got a almost total rework in one form or the other. Wakeup Tailgunner and I started this project some many years ago and were never able to fully complete it due to lack of documentation and proper revealing photographs. What was improved on includes: A historical cockpit, proper gunner positions, new engine models, reworked shading, reworked wing and rudder shapes, historical bomb load, hi-res texture, new sounds, more rigging, proper strutting and bracing, new pilots and gunners, and much much more! The differences between the old and new Ilya V will astonish you. 8O Be sure to read the readme file included to be sure your bombs and such work and dont forget to unset brakes for taking off! (And landings) You MUST have the FS-WWI Online Standard for this download to function. Download here: Ilya Muromets V Final v2.0 Enjoy! :)

Saw this over at the SimHQ boards: Project name: Sikorsky Aviasimulator game, dedicated to World War I and some episodes of Russian Civil War. http://www.d-strict.com/ I wish them luck!

Well, we tried at any rate: John MacKay Update :(

Guys, the remaining KOE team need your help. In order to rescue this project, they are looking for people with time and skill to help. The details aren't final, but you can read up on what's ideas are being looked into here: Open Letter to the KOE Community

Due to publishing and income reasons, KOE has been shelved. More detailed descriptions of the sad news here: Xeidos2's post at SimHQ and here: Eddie_W 's post at SimHQ A sad day indeed for WWI simmers. :(

WWI flyers, head on over to http://www.targetware.net and download the Targetware client and lauch that. You can get the files from the auto-download feature within the game. :D

Finally after 3+ years the Taube gets a hi-res skin! :D Thanks to Greg, Aladar and myself... Greg based the hi-res skin off of the original done by Kugel and modified by Tailgunner. Then I touched it up and sent it off to Aladar for the damage effects. The new Taube also got a shading fix overhaul. The wings, fuse and cockpit all now have proper shading. The propeller hub is now also properly modeled, and the pilots recieved proper mapping and a hi-res skin by Recon3. Other fine adjustments have been made aswell to the coding and what not. Download it here: Etrich A-II Taube Final Dont forget to read the readme for details and installation! Note: Downloading this will make you not compatable on-line. You need the latest FS-WWI On-line Standard to use this download. Enjoy! :)

Don't tell me that, tell Recon3! ;) :D

Check this out: http://www.targetware.net/modules.php?op=m...iewtopic&t=3880 B) They've been REALLY busy!!! :D

I'm surprised no one has commented! Any of you guys played/play the original Target: Flanders mod? This should be 100 times better. :D While the T:F mod had huge potential, real life issues hindered developement for some time... It's good to see new blood, vision and spirit brought into the mix by JoGunn! Indeed the developement crew has been very busy and up to speed! This is the future of WWI guys... Lets embrace it! B) When the mod becomes available to the public I hope to see you in the skies!

From mace: Inspired by the extraordinary work being done in FS WWI, I’ve converted the Albatros D.I into a new floatplane model the Albatros W.IV. Thanks to Recon3, ArgonV and Wakeup Tailgunner for their outstanding original Albatros D.I! Be kind with any comments this is version 1.0. I’ve reduced the top speed of the plane down from 109mph to 102mph and added a little drag for the floats. This floatplane operates from a shore base in the Dover terrain. There are seven training missions and I’ve used standard SDSOE squadrons and not WWI ones to make it easy for people without a WWI plane pack to fly this aircraft. Thanks to the generosity of Snick, the Albatros W.IV floatplane (3,459k) can be downloaded from: http://www.b-dod.com/wingsoverwater/WIVFloat_v1.0.zip Also, for those who DO NOT have FS WWI plane pack 3 you will need to download some extra files (126k) from: http://www.b-dod.com/wingsoverwater/WIVextras.zip cheers mace Floatplane Background: The Albatros Flugzeugwerke in 1916 re-developed it's outstanding D.I fighter to meet the requirements of the Military Command of Germany for a floatplane fighter to protect naval bases along the Flanders Coast. After the fitting of twin floats and some minor airframe changes, the result was the Albatros W.IV. A total of 118 Albatros W.IV's were built. These aircraft serving with combat units along the North Sea and in Turkey until the end of hostilities In the down load there are seven training missions for the Dover terrain and a floatplane base. Features: *Effective 'real' water take off and landing system *Damage model includes; respectable engine malfunctions, fuel leaks, minor control surface and skin damage *Moving control stick, rudder pedals and the pilot's head tracks enemy aircraft / vehicles *3D shadow *Armament: 2 x Spandau .303 cal machine guns *Ordnance: Bombs dropped by hand *Supports up to 1024 x 1024 aircraft 'skins' (zip includes a 512 x 512 'skin' by Recon3 / Mace) *1.6.0.5 'patch' and Alt Explosion compatible *AI pilots capable of doing water take offs

From mace: Inspired by the extraordinary work being done in FS WWI, I’ve converted the Avro 504 into a new floatplane model. Thanks to ArgonV, Wakeup Tailgunner, Pierre Radiateur and Recon3 for their outstanding original 504 model! This floatplane operates from shore bases / seaplane tender (new ship H.M.S. Hermes) in the Dover terrain.

Version 1.1 to come soon... :D

Thanks again to the great talents and resources of FlyXwire, the Maurice Farman S.11 has undergone a very nice ravamp. Now featuring a new hi-res 1024x1024 skin, redone cockpit, new pilots and textures and a few modeling tweaks and additions like a lean-over the side view and a Hotchkiss gun loadout, this kite has now been brought up to Plane Pack 4 quality. Note: Downloading this will make you not compatable on-line. You need the latest FS-WWI On-line Standard to use this download. Download it here: Maurice Farman S.11 Final (7.22 mb) Enjoy! :)

Below is a list of things that are waiting to get done before FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 Release and the peron(s) assigned to them. If you would like to join the cause and help out, please e-mail me at ArgonV@AOL.com :) Somme terrain re-texture in hi-res - Rydiga/ArgonV Etrich A-II Taube hi-res texture - Gypsy9 Ansaldo re-build - Recon3 Halb D.II cockpit - ?? Pfalz D.IIIa cockpit - ?? Ca.33 cockpit - ArgonV Albatros D.Va cockpit - ?? Moska Bis hi-res texture - ?? Fokker D.VII re-build - Zoycite (I haven't heard anything from him in a while however) Vickers F.B.5a finishing cockpit touches - ArgonV Bristol Scout D hi-res texture - ?? Bristol Scout D remap and re-do of wings and fuselage 3d models - ArgonV Breguet 14 B2 hi-res texture - Wat32 Breguet 14 B2 cockpit panel 3d model and texture- ArgonV/Wat32 Avro 504k floatplane - mace FS-WWI GUI - FlyXwire The Maurice Farman S.11 and Ilya V textures and rebuilds are basicly done. The Breguet 14 B2 is comming along nicely, I would say about 85% complete in the texturing and modeling departments. The Ansaldo has a ways to go. Probably another 2 months before completion. If you're working on any of the above and not noted down for it, please let me know. Not a whole lot really to do... Mostly just texturing and cockpits as always. So who wants to help out that doesn't have an already full plate? :D

I was browsing the Sim-Outhouse forums and ran across this: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/forums/showthr...&threadid=10883 BEAUTIFUL models! Check out the flying boats and torpedo bomber... B)

Thanks to the efforts and inspiration of FlyXwire, the Camel got a pretty good-sized revamp! The updated items include a much nicer and accurate cockpit, new gunsight, hi-res historical skin, new pilot model and textures, improved FM, improved coding and a few small nice details to touch it off such as fuel caps and properly shaded wings and fuselage and the braking code update introduced by the 1.6.0.6 Patch. Please read the readme file for instructions and details. NOTE: You will need the latest FS-WWI Online Standard for this download to work. Downloading this will make you incompatable on-line! Download it here: Sopwith Camel Final Enjoy! :)

Well, after a few days of Beta testing, she is ready! You will need the latest FS-WWI Online Standard to have this download work. Recon3 did a complete revamp of the D.I and then turned that into a D.III by adding different wings, a better engine and a few other details aswell. It is OUTSTANDING! She sports a hi-res 1024x1024 skin, and is the first kite to be released that uses the new brakeless feature added by the 1.6.0.6 Patch. Be sure to read the readme file included in the zip for details. Get it here: Albatros D.III Final Beta Enjoy! :)
