Hi all,
With help from 'Shredward' (research) the Sopwith Camels for RNAS No.1 Squadron have been converted to the Bentley engine version (apart from one Clerget engine skin - pilot Sykes - intentional).



Now uploaded to the 'User Mods Page' (OBD Aircraft Skins).
Download size just over 30Meg - manual install so check the README file.

Hi James,
Good to hear from you.
I see your point and it would make sense. However a combination of revised.new skin packs would make for very large download files, which could compromise my hosting service.
OBD have more capacity to do this, as they did with your Alb skin pack. Also the skins need to be configured in WOFF to be usable, to avoid having to manually select in QC.
Ted has said that WOFF was set up to show the Bentley skins, but at the time we couldn't create ace skins, only squad stock skins.
I'm only doing these skins so that the guys can fly them now, rather than wait for a possible OBD official WOFF patch release.
Hopefully they could scoop these skins up then.

Mike

Great strides made gentlemen

Hi all,
Sopwith Camels for RNAS No.3 Squadron have been converted to the Bentley engine version (apart from one Clerget engine skin - pilot 1918 Britnell - intentional).



Now uploaded to the 'User Mods Page' (OBD Aircraft Skins).
Download size nearly 38Meg - manual install so check the README file.

Sweet. Just got the first and now another.
Kinda like a WW1 geeks Christmas.

Hi all,
Sorry but I had to temporarily pull the two downloads for an hour or so (1600 hours GMT) as I didn't spot an anomaly with the upper wing - aileron inspection windows.

Both downloads have been corrected and are back on the download site.

Mike

Thanks. Shall delete the old and get the new.

Hi all,
Sopwith Camels for RNAS No.4 Squadron have been converted to the Bentley engine version (apart from 7 Clerget engine skins - intentional).



Now uploaded to the 'User Mods Page' (OBD Aircraft Skins).
Download size just over 32Meg - manual install so check the README file.

Mike

Whoop!

Hi all,
Sopwith Camels for RNAS No.8 Squadron have been converted to the Bentley engine version (only 6 Bentley Camels for 1917 - intentional).



Now uploaded to the 'User Mods Page' (OBD Aircraft Skins).
Download size just over 53Meg - manual install so check the README file.

NOTE 1: No.8 RNAS destroyed all of their Bentley Camels before their airfield was overrun during the 1918 Spring offensive. Their Camels were replaced with Clerget engined aircraft. The 1918 Camels for this Squadron are non-Bentley Camels.
NOTE 2: To ensure the correct aircraft are loaded, all of the RNAS No.8 Camels are included in the download, hence its size.

Mike

Can’t change aircraft within a calendar year?
Plenty of units change their aircraft types or am I misunderstanding you?

The 1917 skins change over to 1918 skins on April 1 (hopefully)
Cheers,

Hi all,

I can make this a self extracting JSGME installable mod tonight.

Hi All,
Looks like there may be a glitch with the cowls for Naval 10. Please don't download - Sandbagger will look at it, mod if needed, and reupload when he gets back after the weekend.
Cheers,

Whew. Glad I scrolled down to the end of the thread before I dashed off to get the latest.

Hi all,
The original download for RNAS No.10 has been replaced as there was one skin that was incorrect.
I have supplied a single skin zip on the download page. If you have already downloaded the original complete zip, just download the single skin zip on the page and replace that skin.

Mike

PS: Thanks to Shredward for putting the brakes on.

Hey all,
Be nice to see some screenies of these beauties in action !
Cheers,
