WWI In A WW2 Sim HuH?? heres how

[RaVeN]

For those interested in WWI
There is a new WWI server
Heres how it works
I have taken the campaign concept created by JTMF and applied it to a FBD dedicated dog fight server on hyper lobby

Inspired by the skin work and campaign concept of

"Bloody April"
by "JTFM"
J.F. Miller

with his blessing

The Guts and Glory Server presents

The Air Battle of St. Mihiel
(Mission author -=FA=-RaVen)

In the words of JTFM:
" classified as a faux World War 1 Mission because. Obviously Forgotten Battles is a World War II simulation that does not contain World War 1 airplanes.
The means of overcoming this, and the heart of the Mission is the prodigious use of WW1 skins. When applied to several airplanes already contained within Forgotten Battles,
and with the player suspending a certain amount of reality, these skins enable World War 1 to come to life within the confines of a World War II simulation,
thus providing the player an exciting return to the seminal years of aerial warfare.

Planes used and represented

WW1 airplane skins transform the [J8A,] [CR-42 ] [I-153] [P11c,] and [TB-3] into the Albatross D.II/III, Sopwith Pup, SPAD VII, SE5, Martinsyde G.100, Nieuport XVII, Morane Saulnier, BE2c/d/e/f/g, RE8, Sopwith One-and-a-half-Strutter, Albatross C.III, Gotha G.IV, and HP 0/100. All skins were meticulously researched to represent these airplanes as they appeared in April, 1917. Skins include planes from Jastas 2/5/11/30 and KGIII; RFC Nos. 1/3/3N/9/13/16/19/27/34/43/52/
56/59/60/66 Squadrons; Aviation Militaire N3 and SPA124 Lafayette Escadrille. Skinned ace airplanes include Manfred von Richthofen, Lothar von Richthofen, Kurt Wolff, Karl Emil Schäfer, Karl Allmenröder, Werner Voss, Hermann Frommherz, Joachim von Bertrab, Adolf von Tutshek, Hans Berr, Heinrich Gontermann, Albert Ball, Billy Bishop, John Andrews, Lloyd Breadner, Edmund Pierce, Raoul Lufbery, René Dorme, Paul Tarascon, Georges Guynemer, and many others.
All so a complete set of Flyboys JA skins by TripleA007.
(very nice work as well)
plane sets are evenly matched Dependant on map, its more pilot skill against pilot skill . IE there would not be a I-153 on a map were there are Cr_42 and Ja's . ect Plane sets are balanced no uber out of balance stuff going on here skill on skill it the concept here.

The difficulty settings only mini and speed bar are available
no icons ,no external.
This is dog fighters heaven you need to Id, then hunt the enemy this this is were the skins shine. The feed back has been just great, its very immerse.

New maps also in rotation are The Eastern fronts, one and two.
and The Ammunition depot raid




WHAT THIS MEANS IS:
YOU NEED TO GO GET THE SKINS TO PLAY ON THIS SERVER.
There is a net cache file that if used will totally eliminating any skin load lag on the server. Please see details on web site.
WWI Skins DOWNLOAD HERE

As most of the aircraft are the same on both sides the only way to differentiate is to Id the markings and skins. This adds a terrific amount of immersion the the mission.

Skins also donated by

By request we have tried externals on the server but unfortunately it Completely kills the inversive nature as well as the spirit of the great dog fights.
Skills needed to prevail such as well implemented air combat maneuvers (ACM)
Are no longer effective so we will be leaving the settings on Full switch other that mini map and speed bar.

I f you haven't taken the leap I would highly recommend a track IR ,as it will elevate your flight Sim experience to a new level.

Mate I play there alot, however have ever only had 1 other player join. Great site, hope to see more on there.

Aussie, so don't know the best time for others.

[RaVeN]

Tell your friends.
lots of squads use it to have matches.
but for most the challenge it to much. You will generally only find skilled pilots in there.

[jtfm]

Where is it? After being away for a bit I'm anxious to get back in the skies but I cannot find this server on HL, and over at All Seeing Eye I get a message saying the server is not running.

Am I overlooking times and/or location? Please advise.

Thanks!

[Petrosky]

Hello,
Yes these skins work off line

rar file is fine
just open it up,then open folder
make sure to select all
then browse to correct path
should work fine then
if you have trouble repost i'll try and help you
get them installed correctly

here's the info from downloads again

The means of overcoming this, and the heart of the Mission is the prodigious use of WW1 skins,

Note From RaVen on Skins In game:
Many of the aircraft are the same on both sides.For this to work we need cooperation from YOU.
The only way to i.d. friend from foe is to wear the correct skins.
Also by downloading the Netcache all skins will immediately be registered by all users that have done so, thus completely eliminating Lag with skins on.
This method has been proven and tested by "Guse" and the guys from mega missions. Credit and thanks goes to them, who says you can't have your cake and eat it too!

World War I Skins Below


You must download both packs.
Click Yes to All when prompted

WW l Allied/Axis Skin pack
Once you download extract the zip file into the root folder named
...\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\PaintSchemes

TO AVOID LAG PLEASE DOWNLOAD
Allied/Axis Skin Netcache pack
Once you download extract the zip file into the root folder named
...\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\PaintSchemes

Please DO NOT RE NAME THE SKINS, AS THAT WILL DEFEAT THE NET CACHE LAG PREVENTION FILE

Thank you for your cooperation

[pegasus1848]

It ain't a good day if you don't learn something. I just learned that there are more ways to compress and uncompress files than winzip. Those skins are fantastic.
Thanks to the artist(s) for all that work.

[Petrosky]

Glad you got them working Mate!
