corsaire31 7 Posted February 12, 2014 Unfortunately until now my two seater careers have been rather short... Unescorted recon flights are a tough sport ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corsaire31 7 Posted February 12, 2014 Try the Bristol Fighter - and turn the hunter into the game! For the time being i am only starting the careers so I'm in spring 1916 (I skipped 1915)... Only thing they have to offer me are Aviatiks and BE2s... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah, I gave that up: to start from the beginning. I would never get to the Albatros D.V that way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corsaire31 7 Posted February 13, 2014 I don't make only pilots career, but rather squadron careers. After a pilot dies, I enlist a new one a few days after in the same squadron / escadrille / jasta / schlasta from spring 1916 to the end of the war. This way I go through all the planes. Considering I have 1 scout and 1 bomber/reco career per nation running, I think it will take me at least a year to complete (I use auto/manual time advance and there are always no-fly days due to weather or visits to the hospital, plus the days of leave and aircraft repairs) In my FFA 10 career, I had already a few days off due to lack of planes and pilots. At the moment the open careers are RFC 32 and RFC 7 for British, Escadrille 69 for French (don't have two seaters units in 1916), FFA10 and Jasta 5 for Germany. For Jasta 5 I am already in April 1917 because I moved this career from OFF to WOFF, the other ones have been selected randomly when enlisting the first pilot.

Olham 164 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) ...Escadrille 69 for French (don't have two seaters units in 1916)... They had the Morane Parasol then, didn't they? For Jasta 5 I am already in April 1917 because I moved this career from OFF to WOFF.. And that worked alright for you? Great job! So you also have a Jasta 5 pilot, only earlier - mine flies in August 1917. Getting really tough for him - he meets S.E.5 aces, and Bristol Fighters...

corsaire31 7 Posted February 13, 2014 When I try to start a bomber/reco career for Aéronautique Militaire in 1916 using the random feature, WOFF doesn't find any. For the transfer of the Jasta 5 career, I just re-created the same pilot at the same date in WOFF. I keep my records outside OFF on Excel sheets of my own, plus a pilot file with screenshots of the Pilot's Book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Ah, I understand, Corsaire. I also have a real flight/pilot's book. My second victory and claim with Jasta 5 in August 1917. See also the "Reports..." thread. Edited February 13, 2014 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adger 87 Posted February 13, 2014 Great shots again Olham.Them clouds look so lifelike. 2 screenshots taken on a Ati system,using SweetFx,Aris clouds mod,and the brilliant AnKors new beta shadowing,lighting Mod..I had a small fps Increase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 13, 2014 Hmmm... - a problem of one of the mods seems to be, that it creates shadows within the Lozenge camo, where no shadows = no imprints should be? I must say I like the original WOFF clouds, as they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted February 15, 2014 Looks like they painted that lozenge on with a spatula to edges like that, lol. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) You wonder how the gunner should do his job in case of an attack? His moving-space is extremely limited. Edited February 15, 2014 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corsaire31 7 Posted February 15, 2014 You wonder how the gunner should do his job in case of an attack? His moving-space is extremely limited. So is the field of fire, taking the gunner position you have something like 30° left and right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corsaire31 7 Posted February 16, 2014 My BE2c with the last version of Ankor's DX9 converter (self shadows) without ENB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) May the glinting and Enhancements be another thing, but the shadowing is definitely something that would - and should - be there. Looks much more realistic. I'm glad, that this will be in the sim at some point of development. Edited February 16, 2014 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corsaire31 7 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Sure makes things look more real... I installed with JSGME so I can take it off easily if any problems arise. On external views I stay at 60 fps, when looking at the instruments panel in the cockpit it goes down to 45 fps, which it still more than enough.

Olham 164 Posted February 19, 2014 Corsaire, I do like the shadowing and lighting glints a lot - but that ENB stuff is unrealisticly dark and over-saturised. WOFF produces a kind of haze-softened and haze-paled impression of things which are further away. I find that very realistic. But with ENB everything comes up too close - IMHO.
