+quack74 329 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Watch this little video and keep your eye on the lower formation in the distance. One in a million flak hit. My Movie.wmv Edited October 26, 2011 by quack74 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heck 496 Posted October 26, 2011 Actually happened to me once. Flying along happily, not even bothering to dodge the Archie at the height I was at, cause everyone knows they can't hit you. No Huns about. Everything serene. Then, BOOM! Everything in splinters, down you go. It's never happened to me again, but it was quite a shock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Dora 171 Posted October 26, 2011 Wow. Archibald - certainly did! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stephen1918 1,473 Posted October 27, 2011 This is great. I've never seen an explosion like that in First Eagles. How did you manage to capture that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr.Viper 131 Posted October 27, 2011 Actually happened to me once. Once? Once?! In the original unpatched FE it took flak about 20 seconds to get a perfect shot at you, unless you dashed to tree top level. Oh, and one MG bullet could take off your wing. That was scary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ojcar 157 Posted October 27, 2011 In fact, in Italian Front it's very common. You have large formations of Caproni flying slowly and straight. They are big flak targets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+quack74 329 Posted October 27, 2011 In fact, in Italian Front it's very common. You have large formations of Caproni flying slowly and straight. They are big flak targets! Thats true. In my Caporetto campaign I've seen a bunch of Ca3's and some DFWC5's getting hit by Flak. It's cool to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpinyNorman 1 Posted September 24, 2012 Hey Quack74, Very late reply to an old post, great video! I love Archie, although always a bit of a shock when you yourself get hit. Hey I really like your windloop sound (it's not the stock is it?) where did you get it from? Cheers, SpinyNorman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+quack74 329 Posted September 24, 2012 I've had it for a few years now. Cant remember what download it was from. But I did get it from here in the FE download section under "Sounds Mods". There are a lot of great sound mods in there too. Try a bunch of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpinyNorman 1 Posted September 24, 2012 cheers! I've got the gun sounds but hadn't tried the others, will have a rummage through them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ojcar 157 Posted September 25, 2012 You can also try some engine sounds made for Over Flanders Fields. And the stall sound that comes with some A-Team planes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpinyNorman 1 Posted September 25, 2012 Thanks guys. Got the FE sounds v.2 which has that windloop in it, and also went and checked out OFF and got the Soundtweak III, loads of cool sounds there, bullet hits, loads of engines, damaged engines etc. Cheers.

SpinyNorman 1 Posted September 26, 2012 Back on the topic of Flak... Is there any way to get some shrapnel damage from flak bursts? I found [shrapnelDebris] in aircraftobject.ini, is it this? playing with this doesn't seem to have an effect, maybe I just need to keep trying, and ramp it up?.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ojcar 157 Posted September 26, 2012 Nope, [shrapnelDebris] is for the visual thing only. But you can go to each gun and increase the CartridgeWt to your taste. The explosions will have more ratious, but be careful, the planes here are slow. If you want some true deadly flak go to the download section and search for the 37mm AAA.

SpinyNorman 1 Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks for that Ojcar. Will play around with CartridgeWt (I had played with Warhead Wt but not Cartridge!). Yeah I have got Tailspins great 37mm Sockelflak and added truck mounted 1pdr pom poms as well (just stock 13pdr truck). The 37mm AA is lethal but looks great, it's made me change my flying habits in enemy territory.... give enemy airfields a wide berth.... As always guys thanks heaps for all the tips.

+ojcar 157 Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Ohhhhhh, sorry I meant Warhead, not cartridge!!!!!!!! I think I must stop drinking beer.... Edited September 26, 2012 by ojcar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpinyNorman 1 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) hahah no worries! will keep playing with WarheadWts. Newbie Question... I don't have to use the Guns Editor to change things like that? Just change it in the gundata.ini and the data.ini for that gun? Edited September 27, 2012 by SpinyNorman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ojcar 157 Posted September 27, 2012 You don't need it in FE2. Very easy job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
