Ade :

For sure!....The notes with the Alb DV (belonging to Lt. Fuchs..with Fox and Chicken on side) says that the fuselage was pale blue, the animals were red, and (get this..LOL ) the wing surfaces were checkered green & mauve!!......Nothing like blending into your surroundings huh!?

Yep, I think the Spad you liked was actually called 'The Flying Fish'. It's a Nieuport 24B....the pilot is U.S. called Capt. Harry S Gwinne. The U.S. seemed quite reliant on aircraft 'hand outs' from other countries.

Interesting that that SE5 there is actually american too, of the U.S. 94th Aero Sqdn.

G'day Folks,

Have broken through the colour barrier using Jel's
Minipic view2 and colour palette, for all the minipics
associated with the mission parameters screen. Well done
Jel, a refreshing enhancement for EAW.



Ade

Looks good in color, Ade.
Have you thought of using an old style pen script font for the mission screens in WWI? I believe these missions were written in by hand, not typed.

Nice work on the minipics. Something fresh.
Kinda the reverse for a change-- old planes in color while stock EAW is black&white.

But....how come I can't fly with your family? Jel posted a good set of squadmates.

Ade, Jelly, Great work!

Woody,

Please clarify, 'How come I can't fly with your family?'

Ade

Are you telling me this family group is not available for missions?

Looking excellent, Ade

there was enough colour photography in WW2 to be authentic...and I remember some awesome colour photographs of French airplanes, too. They have been discovered not long agao and a special technique was used afaik...

concerning WW1 - why not design this yellow-brownish sepia photographs? Would surely be worth a try

Thx

even though color looks great and i like Frans idea too (btw which editor is preferred to work this new magic - DL 2 versions that Jelly posted) but who else is actually working on this wwi theme?

Woody

Family group certainly available for all missions, would even
consider travelling to Santa Cruz for a gig!! cheers m8.
Not sure how to apply a pen script font, any ideas?

Fran

Yep, like your idea re sepia pics, will try it out.


Al
