Welcome to Fighter Squadron WWI's "Plane Pack" series. A "Plane Pack" is a convenient way to get all of the latest planes, ground units, and missions, etc. This plane pack also lets you fly on-line over the internet. To fly with other people on-line, your aircraft must match the other player's aircraft or you will get a mismatch error. This makes the game more fun and avoids pesky cheaters. See the "More Info" section to read more about flying on-line. FS-WWI Plane Packs and Patches are the culmination of a large amount of work by diverse groups of talented people. Each plane has been built with care including the 3D modeling, texturing, flight modeling, and damage modeling. These aircraft are on a never-ending journey of improvement, each individual plane at its own stage of completion, so feedback is very helpful and desired! You can contact me, ArgonV using the Webmaster link at the bottom of the page. Also, you may wish to visit the on-line forum to help contribute to the progress of this art called flight sim at Open Plane Sims.

To Install: For this to all work, you MUST install SDOE fresh. The setup is too integrated to install all of this over an existing install of FS-WWI. You will over complicate things if you try to install this over an existing FS-WWI install. If you do a fresh install, TRUST ME, it will be a breeze...

The install options you have are listed below. Each is listed in the order you should install them in. I also URGE you to READ the readme files. There is very valuable information in there that is to your benefit. I made these readme files to make both your life, and mine a lot easier.

Settings and Tweaks:

I have put together a document which will help you tweak FS-WWI for your system. You can find it here: Getting the Best

Von has put together a nice FS-WWI keyboard commands file here.

We hope you enjoy flying FS-WWI using Inertia's OpenPlane game engine. In our opinion, OpenPlane is THE engine for WWI flight!
