Spad13

Is there something that needs to be done to make the decals show? For example, the Siemens Shuckert has no markings. Thanks!

I find that when I hit F5, I get an "over the shoulder" view. If I use my mouse to turn to the plane's side profile, it swings back to behind the tail after a few seconds. Did anyone do a mod that will hold the view wherever I place it? I found one to extend the F10 Flyby- that's a big help. Thanks!

Sunuvagun! Thanks, I found it. I'll play around with it some.

Then again, maybe not. I see FE2 is completely different in its setup than FE. No object files or aircraft folders or any of the sort! So how were you guys able to add mods to FE2?

OK, Quack, for $20 how could I not? So I did. It looks cool, however I can see that my machine is not up to specs. It runs a little slow on my XP, and I probably have out of date video cards, too. I might try it on my laptop with Windows 7? IF not, maybe I should put a new PC on my Christmas list. Can I copy all of those cool downloads from my FE Exp Pack to FE 2? All the planes and sounds and stuff like that? The folders look the same, so I imagine I can just move from say "objects" folder in FE to FE2?

Is it worth it to get FE2? Is it much improved? Thx!

It occurred to me that I'm really not sure what version of FE I have. Can someone tell from the front page?

solid? So that when you hit one, your plane crashes? I know it's not set up that way. But I think it'd be cooler if attempts to land were a little hairier. Thx!

RoF? No, not yet. I'm still wondering how to arm the L-63s... or at least give them fighter cover, if you can help with that.

Ok, I'm not computer gaming literate, so pardon what might seem like silly questions. What do I do with the above information? Put it in the Zepp file? I'm one of those who needs step by step instructions. Sorry, but thanks for helping out!

I was wondering if there was a mod to arm the L-63 Zepps(?). I downloaded the Zepp to go with the Zepp Hunter download. Cool looking Zepp, but as of yet I've encountered no retaliatory response from it. One of the coolest things I liked about Red Baron was the Zepp attack. Pretty cool in Crimson Skies, too. Any ideas?

This might sound dumb, but does it come with the castle, soldiers, cars and horses and all that? It's really amazing.

A note of encouragement from a non-modder here who appreciates all your efforts. I was thinking the other day how trains would make a great target, after watching the original "Dawn Patrol" on Youtube (at the end a lone flier makes a bold attack on a German railyard). Good luck! Looking forward to one day strafing a few trains in FE.

Funny, mine doesn't look like that. Mine's a complete cockpit.

Yes, it is. Back in the 1960s (here I go showing my age), DC Comics came out with the Enemy Ace, Hans Von Hammer. Later they came out with Steve Savage, an American pilot based on Frank Luke, the Balloon Buster. His motif was a set of crossed six shooters in a blue oval on the side of his Spad. Colorizing wasn't as sophisticated as it is now- his Spad- in fact all American Spads- were colored yellow. That's why I opted for French Tan 1. I have tried to find a picture of it, but haven't had any luck. I still have some of those comics, but they're in storage. Since we have a Von Hammer skin, I'd like to see a Steve Savage skin. Here's what I'm using now.

How about a Steve Savage the Balloon Buster skin to go with the Enemy Ace one? If I knew how to do it, I'd take the French Tan skin, and on the fuselage side put two crossed six-shooters in a blue oval. Then just select the USAS markings in the game selections to put on the roundels.

I guess to me that was a problem with the originals. I usually see where my tracers are landing. Good luck!

What was wrong with Verdun?

What is Arrowhead? I don't like this trend nowadays where you have to play online. Sounds like a way to make your version obsolete very quickly when the next edition comes out.

Not sure why exactly. I'm on vacation this week, away from my PC. When I return home, I think I'll try it again starting from the beginning using a backup.

There have been so many improvements by the modders here on this forum to FE, showing FE's potential, I was wondering if there are any plans for Thirdwire to bring out a new version 3? FE's great for those of us who don't want a game that you have to logon to a website to use, and is self contained with a wide variety of planes available (thank YOU modders!). Now if only all of this gaming goodness could be brought together in a new updated version of FE!

Yes. Stay as far away from the ground as possible. I wish I could get Peter's FM to work. Couldn't Thirdwire just incorporate this into FE 3?

But... I thought all Germans spoke English! It's that way in the movies! Well, except for BoB- "Don't any of you Jerries speak English?".

That would have made an impressive target!

Hey Chris, got to say I never thought of that. So I gave it a try. No, that didn't work, either. Loadout says I have bombs, but nothing happens when I hit the bomb button. Odd.
