You can't. Ursula is still not in the game.

You're safe using... Jasta 3, 9, 16b and 23b. I say these because for the most part, they are not flashy and use mostly base colors for the squadron. Plus they are in the area that Otto points to as he shows Bruno their patrol sector.
OvS Ah! Thank you very much. I supposed anyone who chose their name as OvStachel would be the man to ask!

Thank you for the time suggestions, Deacon. All of those make sense. Basically, you and OvStachel did the leg work I was too lazy to do! But I really appreciate the help. So let me sum up just in case anyone else is as silly as me: The Bruno Stachel ExperienceTime Frame: February 1918 Best Squadron: Jasta 12 or Jasta 34 And if anyone is interested I made an aged photo of Bruno Stachel: [Edit: Sorry, I meant to say that OvStachel helped me, too, but I got confused. I've edited my post to correct this. Sorry, OvSatchel! I really did appreciate your help!) [Edit 2: I updated to a higher-resolution picture of Bruno Stachel.]

@the_3rd_Guru... Yes... I have a definite interest in seeing you do this... LOL! My Jasta 13 D.VII, with Blue Max wings and markings. I've been flying this one for 2 years now.. OvS

lederhosen, Ha! I never thought my question would encourage other people to do the same! My silly madness is contagious, I think! My Jasta 13 D.VII, with Blue Max wings and markings. I've been flying this one for 2 years now.. OvStachel, do you have any accurate skins from the movie that you can share? For that matter, are there any authentic Blue Max skins available anywhere for Wings Over Flanders Fields? (I've never tried those player-created skin packs on the mods page. I know that Rise of Flight has some Blue Max skins available.)

Ok I'm in...but we need hard dates/timings perhaps like R is R campaign Yeah, that's true, and the ultimate goal should be getting the Blue Max, of course. I'll have a look and could make my own skin I'm going to take a look at the Blue Max skins from Rise of Flight, and maybe I can adapt their elements to skins in Wings Over Flanders Fields. However, I'm pretty poor at making skins, and, unfortunately, there aren't any layered templates available. I really wish there were as it is kind of frustrating making skins using the dds files in the sim's folders.

T3G, you really should watch the wonderful skinning tutorial that Rick Rawlings created. Creating skins isn't really that difficult, it just requires practice like everything else. Anyway, the tutorial is awesome and you can find it in the FAQ thread at the top of the page. Hey, Banjoman, Oh, I did watch it! And I've read his whole tutorial post in detail. I've actually been making tons of skins for my L'Escadrille Américaine pilots (and myself). But, you know, I am just not a visual artist, and while I can do some really basic edits to these skins, I just don't have the computer graphic skills to edit things in any kind of detail. Rise of Flight offered skinning templates for all of their planes. These had multiple layers, and, even for me, they were simple to change. With using the Wings Over Flanders Fields pre-existing dds files, I am just not able to create the skins that I'm imagining. I just don't possess those skills.
