CaptSopwith Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM Posted Thursday at 11:31 PM (edited) Gents... we've got a gem on our hands! TLH feels so polished and refined. It's a thousand small touches that add up to a massive upgrade. The map is so much more readable! It's actually enjoyable to review it now for your waypoints - something I haven't said since the old map in Red Baron 3D. The menu colors are lovely. The load times are absolutely improved, even though I already had the sim on an SSD. The FPS feel smoother as well, less popping in the frame rate - I suspect a credit to the new way the sim is loading in aircraft skins. And speaking of which... I know we haven't gotten the true goodies yet from OvS and company, but what is there is stunning. Such a beautiful looking sim. Here are some sights from tonight's flight at the beginning of Bloody April. Cheers guys - it's such a pleasure to be here to see what this sim has grown into.

CaptSopwith Posted Saturday at 03:46 PM Author Posted Saturday at 03:46 PM Had the pleasure to take up the new Siemens-Schuckert D.III. A fascinating aircraft. Super nimble, great climb rate. The cockpit feels a bit... cramped and the gun housing is mounted pretty high up - or perhaps my pilot just happens to be shorter in stature lol. Jumped into the free roam view to capture some additional images and found our airfield under attack. It was actually traumatic to snap photos of little virtual ground crew working on their machines one minute, and then seeing them killed in by aerial bombing the next. The addition of these guys really makes the airfield feel like a living entity and not just your first waypoint on a flight map. I think I took too many photos - after snapping the "K" key one time too many the sim kicked me back to the manager but it did successfully end the mission. I'll be more mindful of my itchy (camera) trigger finger next time! Quote
Rick Rawlings Posted Sunday at 02:31 AM Posted Sunday at 02:31 AM I remember the Siemens-Schuckert from back in the original Red Baron. I think it was one of the planes in the add-on released for it. It always tickles me to see it in games to this day! Quote
