Hauksbee 103 Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) In another thread, Olham mentioned that there had been some inquiries about Hansa-Brandenbergs. Here's two pics. of a W-12 model I built in Animation Master. Regretably, it is not possible to import into OFF, nor would it stand up to close scrutiny by our pilots. For example, there is no cockpit detailing and many nuts and bolts are misplaced. Building these planes underscores how much research and work the Devs invested in OFF. I've got a W-29 in the works, but is only about half finshed. As an added filip, I'm tossing in the Hawker-von Richtofen fight, and a D.VIII. .

Olham 164 Posted August 28, 2009 Great to see them again - and a pity they can't get into BHaH. Also great: the Richtofen - Hawker fight! If you'd also put them into "Screenshots", they would not be lost after a while. Thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Paarma 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Very nice! These are looking really great! Only one little correction about historical details. MvR was flying albatros d.II against Hawker in famous dogfight. Also his markings was probably only white band in nose. No red scheme yet at that time. Never mind... it look very nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimAttrill 24 Posted August 28, 2009 I fancy flying one of these, I would even turn my coat to do so! The dynamics of taxying and taking off on water is quite interesting. But once off the water, wouldn't I be 'krumpet fodder'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) But once off the water, wouldn't I be 'krumpet fodder'? Not really. The W-12s were well regarded, and a two-seater to boot. Approach with caution. I'll add these to the screen shots per Olhams suggestion. Paarma: You're right. I built these models (D.V & DH-2) before my copy of OFF arrived. Since then, I've revisited a lot of WWI air history so I don't embarrasss myself as much these days. My major gaffe was in thinking that the W-29 (low-wing monoplane) and the W-12 were basically variations on the same plane. Except that the W-12 was a biplane. 'Glad that one never saw the light of day. As a footnote: I was still working on the DH-2 while waiting for OFF. I was feeling pretty good about my model and was champing at the bit waiting for OFF because I really wanted to get my hands on a DH-2 and T-Bone with the Red Baron. When it finally came to pass, on the very first day, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the game; the DH-2 just kept falling out of the sky. Finally, of course, I twigged to the fact that that was the way it was. OK, so the DH-2 is no fun...I'll just switch over to something else...like an Eindecker, and I'll get a little Max Immelman action going. Except the s.o.b. kept falling out of the sky! Got an Albatros D.V; tried to turn and burn like a Nieuport. Got my butt handed to me. By the end of the week I had concluded that this sim wasn't going to be very much fun at all and maybe I should go back to MS Century of Flight and fly cargo planes. Until I found the SE-5, and that changed everything. Edited August 29, 2009 by Hauksbee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
