....

Let me finish up some more engines and coloring and then I send them to you.

cool, my other mail: istvan at vpmedia dot eu can receive larger attachments

This is probably my finger trouble, but although this excellent update is working fine for me I have only a limited choice of maps, not including the WW1 ones. They're all in my "normal" DBW1.71 list but I haven't been able to get them in 1916, despite copying the all.ini file across. Any ideas welcome, thanks.

All maps should work both in DBW and DBW 1916, since both use same maps sfs files.
To have more maps in QMB that  requires the '00_PAL-MissionProCombo' included in the jsgmemods folder.

Yes, that was it. The file was in DBW but not DBW1916. Thanks for the help and the immediate fix...one of these days I'll understand what does what!

Few images showing default skins or skins which will be included as bmp:













I'll probably include the Camel with this camo in v1b4:

I'm glad its working for you. Mods need patience since this game wasnt designed to be modded

Excellent screenshot Previews Istvan  I really like the new default skins.
You are a great aviation artist.

I am wondering ... how did you get the AIRCO-DH.2 to have the RAF Roundel up front near the
cockpit on the default skin... without it showing up in the other 3 aircraft that share the same Default-skin??

I have been trying all sorts of tests and tricks for that AIRCO default-skin and the roundel always shows
up in the other airplane skins  ??? Which do not look good at all.

That is the problem with a mod-game and making skins for Mod-airplanes  There is alot of crazy
painting of the skins and solving the puzzles of how they fit on the airplanes, until a guy can make them look proper.
I like to solve puzzles and painting these skins, but sometimes its a real brain-teaser as to how they fit the airplane best.
There are just so many little details and twists that drives you crazy sometimes.

BTW - I have also repainted that Camel skin (its 50+ skins! lol) for this airplane along time ago when the guys were testing
the airplane. Looks exactly like yours a little bit.
Your choice to add it to the game would be a nice addition for everyone to enjoy this classic airplane even more.
A most welcomed addition!

The DH.2 has a skin in bmp format on that picture, the default skin is still the same as in v1b3.
On the Camel I changed the nose only, because I didnt like the red.
So the user will be able to install the plane from its original thread over this again and get back the red nose if he wants. The Camel will also include higher resolution weathered markings and numbers.

It only works with DBW 1.71 superpack I think.

Awesome work vpmedia – really bringing WWI to life – thanks so much for your dedication.
So many exciting things happening – don’t know which way to turn, WWI, Spanish Civil War, Jets – cant keep up.....all good! 
Max that Dr1 is looking lethal – can’t wait to have it in game – super pic

Strange, I really dont understand what youre doing and why your QMB isnt working but it should.
Again I repeat no QMB files are part of my update pack, those are outside either in Missions\QuickQMBPro or Missions\Quick folder,
not in #DBW1916, so this problem has got nothing to do with my update pack...
