Hi all! I enjoy the nieuport, and was sad that i cant fly her on both sides of the Great War!  Luckily i stumbled across a solution!

!!Siemens_Schuckert D.1!!





23.01.2013 23-43-03 by Fresco 23, on Flickr

The Siemens_Schuckert D.1 fighter plane came about because Germany desperately needed a new and capable fighter aicraft. In 1916, they captured several Nieuport 11
and through reverse engineering, were able to come up with a very close copy, the Siemens_Schuckert D.1 which externally was greatly similar to the Nieuport... Though
initially outclassed by the time it reached the front, it was used as a trainer, and paved the way for future Siemens_Schuckert designs, some of which were considered
among the best fighter planes of the war!

These are HACKS, and as such they are not perfect nor were they intended to be so. They were created to fill a gap i felt in my own game and i have simply decided to share them. They have flaws.... for example.... they are all missing very prominent vents just behind the cowling. I attempted these vents but my results were horrendous, so for this pack i have removed them.

I hope you enjoy these as much as i enjoyed building and flying them. There are 5 skins included. To use place them in your Skins archive in the folder called "Nieu-Scout_2_MkIB"

Credits:

Template: MURDOC's lovely nieuport 11 template.
A borrowed layer: Kindly allowed by Max_thehitman.
Additional layers: Created by me.
 ( I must admit that, while i remembered to leave MURDOC's logo... i forgot to credit myself on the skins... OOPS. I therefore inserted Fresco23 into each skin name. I ask you humbly not to alter the name of the skins.  )
Thanks to each!

Get the skins here: https://www.mediafire.com/?zo1vj7xx4o2c9zy

Thanks to all! Good Flying!

@admins: As this is my first skin link and upload.... please inform me if i have left off any pertinent or important information or have done this in a wrong manner, and i will promptly amend my error! Thanks!

Nice paint job you created on this airplane Fresco, Congratulations!
One of the fun things about painting skins for the IL2 is that sometimes you may notice another airplane that
looks very similar in design to another.
With some patience and a good original blueprint you can re-paint the entire line-work and rivet placement (or canvas)
 on the old airplane and create a brand new one. They call it "hacking a skin" around the flight-sim community and I am
all for it. The more aircraft we got flying in our game, the more pleasure it will be to fly in it.

Awesome skins!

Given that the Siemens Schuckert D.1 was virtually an identical copy of the Nieuport 11 Bebe, I wouldn't even call this a "hack". The major difference between the N11 and the D.1 is the N11 lacked a syncro, so it had a wing mount to fire over the prop arc. The D.1 had the syncro, so it was armed with nose mounted spandaus. There were a few other differences too, but nothing too big.

I actually created a new slot from the N11 and added a D.1 slot to my game about 2 weeks ago, but I didn't release it to the public because I didn't have permission from the original author to do so (didn't ask). I also did a 3d edit the the Snipe, and slot to make a SS D.3/4 too... again... without permission, so it wasn't released. I love the Siemens Schuckert series, if you can't tell!

For adjustments to the Nieuport 11 on Siemens-Schuckert D.1 in the works, will be a new slot, it must just wait

[SAS~Friction]

I asked Gio if I can post the new slot D.I, and he granted me permission. So let me clean everything up and package it, find a host site, and I will post it in with the other WW1 planes! Thanks again Gio!

Regards

Aw guys cool! Very nice archie! Good luck with your progress and i cant wait to see the results! As i myself have NO 3D work experience i wouldnt even have tried all those changes! 

SAS~Friction cool to hear that! I too like the D.3s, but the Snipe never crossed my mind as a candidate! lol Very nice!!

Archie you have inspired me to do better skins! lol  ...because my vents didnt look anything like that! She's a beauty!

Nice new skins Archie.
I have also begun to paint a new skin-template yesterday.
I will post it for you tonight.

Thank you for the new skins, they are also very good art. I will fly them with much pleasure!
