Todt_Von_Oben Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Ringlet, do you have (or can you make) a template for the late-1918 Siemens Schuckert DIV? Anyone?
Guest deleted@219798 Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Very good WW1 skins. Thanks for these. Great Ernst Udet ones.
=IRFC=Gascan Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Its still pretty new. It usually takes a bit before they release the official template for skinning. Once that's out, its a lot easier to make skins because the template has all the layers ready to go, as well as a wireframe so you know where the edges of each part of the plane are. 1
Todt_Von_Oben Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Thanks Gascan. I heard back from GooseH, too; everyone's still waiting for the template. I'm sure it will happen eventually. Meanwhile I'm flying the SS with J13 colors and White SS markings. What a great all-around dogfighter! Very grateful to the Devs for making this one available.

Ringlett Posted December 29, 2023 Author Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Aviator Jenda Hofman Corporal Jenda Hofman (1889-1917) was a Czech soldier, a member of the Nazdar Volunteer Company of the French Foreign Legion during World War I in France, a participant in the Battle of Arras in 1915, and later a member of the volunteer aviation detachment of the French Air Force. He was probably the only Czech legionnaire who died in an air battle. Jan Hofman was born on 28 December 1889 in the village of Veselice, near Náchod, in house No. 20. In 1903 he trained as a furrier in Nové Město nad Metují. From the age of fifteen he was a member of Sokol and took part in the VI. Then he returned to Munich, from where he soon went to work in Paris. One of the reasons for his departure to France may have been a premonition of the outbreak of war, and he wanted to fight for the rights of the Czech nation. When the war actually broke out on 28 July 1914, he enlisted in the newly formed Nazdar Company (founded on 31 August 1914 as part of the Foreign Legion on the initiative of representatives of the French branch of Sokol and the social-democratic association Rovnost). He was also involved in educational activities among the soldiers and professed the idea of an independent Czechoslovakia. Nazdar Company was sent to the Champagne region near Reims in October 1914 for combat deployment. By that time the front had been stabilized and Nazdar Company was living a normal trench life. In April 1915 the unit was transferred to the Artois area, where the French army was preparing an offensive and the Moroccan division was to be deployed on its offensive spearhead. On 9 May 1915, during the Battle of Arras, he and his unit took part in heavy fighting for Hill 140 near the village of Neuville-Saint-Vaast near Vimy, during which the company suffered heavy casualties.Subsequently, Hofman was severely wounded there on 16 June. After his recovery, he suffered lasting effects that made it impossible for him to rejoin the infantry. Jenda Hofman therefore enlisted for flight training, which he completed, among other things, on Blériot XI machines. He was transferred to the French Army Air Corps and in February 1917 he was deployed to the 80th Squadron (Swarm) near Reims, equipped with Nieuport 17 fighter biplanes. After a brief engagement he achieved the downing of a two-seater enemy aircraft, but was himself hit by rear gunner's fire and crashed to the ground with the damaged machine at 9:45. He was buried in the Roucy cemetery. He was posthumously awarded the Croix de guerre (Military War Cross) with palm tree and the Military French Medal in memoriam. In 1928, his body was exhumed, cremated and the urn with his remains was transported to the Resistance Memorial in Prague-Troja. After the closure of this museum, the urn with the remains was lost.

Ringlett Posted November 15, 2024 Author Posted November 15, 2024 I am currently painting on the basis of a redesigned Albatross D.II template, template for Oeffag D.II series 53. Only 16 of these aircraft were produced for K-u-K, then production switched to D.III series 53.20. The problems of the model are different radiators, missing undercarriage wheel axle cover and slightly different layout of some covers. I see the radiators as the biggest problem. If I had noticed this before work started I probably would not have proceeded. This is how I ask, is this a problem for you? The plane was operating on the front in Galicia, Italy, it grew some of the K-u-K air aces. Well?
Ringlett Posted November 16, 2024 Author Posted November 16, 2024 Oeffag D.II series 53 Licensed D.II Albatrosses fitted with a more powerful 185hp engine, a more modern radiator and other modifications during production at the Oeffag factory. Unfortunately they are not in the game, so at least as a reminder as follows. 53.01 personal machine of Flik 21 commander, Hauptmann Walter Lux Edler von Treurecht, Pergine airfield, June 1917 Download 53.01 53.02 on which Julius Kowalczik from Moravian Ostrava achieved the first kill on this type of aircraft. Pergine Airport, Italy, 19 June 1917 Download 53.02 53.03 served in the summer of 1917 in Galizia at Krasne airfield with Flik 14, where in June it was flown by Fw. Rudolf Lonstak (4 kills).

Ringlett Posted December 28, 2024 Author Posted December 28, 2024 Spad S.VII C-1 Aviation mischief, the desire to show off one's aeronautical prowess over one's hometown, is as old as aviation itself and has taken its toll from time to time for just as long. When inattention causes an aircraft to exceed its limits, it doesn't matter whether the pilot is sitting in a canvas-covered wooden airplane or a modern carbon-fiber "grind" equipped with a "glass cockpit." The low altitude above the home is then a guarantee of a quick end if control of the machine is lost. One of the aviators who paid the price for their efforts to show off shortly after the birth of the Czechoslovak Air Force was Corporal Karel Tkadlec in November 1923.
