Greetings to all, and best wishes for a Happy New Year! Now I've been flying some of those wonderful two seaters- but I have a problem. When we get jumped, the rear gunners don't fire. They still swivel around, but don't shoot. Is there a command button I need to push to tell these guys, "um, our plane is being shredded. Please consider shooting back"? I tried Tab-1, and that gets my formation to attack, but only as if they were fighters. Thanks!

I have the same problem, but just with the guns. Sometimes they're loud, sometimes they're soft. My engines run ok, though. Is their a fix out there?

Whenever I have to make an emergency landing (which is more often than I care to admit), my plane just rolls through the trees. It makes a "swish" noise, but the plane keeps on rolling like Proud Mary. Do I have a setting wrong or something? I mean, shouldn't a tree stop me or blow me up?

Ok, I don't have the A Team's DR I. Thanks for the help.

I've been a fan of the Blue Max since my father took me to see it when it first came out. When I saw there was a zip download skin for the DR I based on the Blue Max, I was delighted. So I downloaded it, and it consisted of two files and a readme. So I dropped the "Blue Max" file and some file marked "DR I" into the Third Wire DR I folder per the instructions, and went into FE. Sure enough, there it was- Blue Max DR I. I selected it, went into play and found... I'm flying a snow white Fokker. Even the guns are white. I checked the folder, and there is a design in there. So why is it not registering? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes, indeed. After all, we all know we can't change history. Except in our comic books, eh?

Got it. I've finally gotten the hang of this...

That did it, SB. Once I added the Flanders Terrain, it worked. I got hosed, btw. Although I got one of them before they shot my tripe to pieces. I see you're also on the Aerodrome forum. I'm Balloon Buster over there- Thanks!

I used "extractnow" to open the rar file, and while itappears to extract the file, when I drag and drop it into the aircraftlist, it doesn't register in the list of planes when I bring up FirstEagles. It really doesn't make sense. It's a folder just like the unzipped ones, but it doesn't show up in my on-screen plane selection.

Apparently the Skunkworks folks don't think I'm worthy enough to get on their downloads list. Tailspin- I tried using "extractnow" to open the rar file, and while it appears to extract the file, when I drag and drop it into the aircraft list, it doesn't register in the list of planes when I bring up First Eagles. That's why I was hoping there was a zipfile available, since they work with no problem for me.

Thanks to the efforts of many of you, I have been able to enhance the play of my FE game. Additional aircraft, additional effects, additional controls- all made possible by those of you who took the time to make these. From someone who hasn't the slightest ability to do such things- I want to let you know your efforts are appreciated. I always wanted to fly some aircraft you don't often see- the Phonix, DH 2, Halberstadt and my fav- the Fokker D-VIII. And now the effects when a plane is hit are much more realistic. And I can watch a nice slow flyby instead of the standard, zoom, zoom, zoom~ BTW, anyone know where I can find an NE28 and Pfalz D-III in zipfile I can download? Thanks again!

BTW, Bucky, your Voss v 56th Squadron. Is it essential to use all thoseadditions (like Voss's skin for the Fokker, the tracer smoke, etc) tomake it work? Or can you just fly it with existing loaded aircraft?After you drop it in the "missions" folder, what screen does it show up under?(single mission, etc?). I tried dropping it in with no mods, but I can't find it on my mission screens. Thanks!

Much obliged!

Noob here. What is this "A-Team" folks are referring to? I tried to google it, and all's I get are links to that stupid TV show. I have no problem dragging and dropping the zip files into FE Objects, but what do you do with the "rar" files? I downloaded the NE 28, and am not sure quite what to do to install it. It doesn't seem to register when I drop it into the object files. Thanks!
