Hellshade Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Trying my hand at an N17 Campaign. I am terribly unskilled in them so I imagine the Huns will make quick sport of me soon enough. Quote
+elephant Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Fantastic videos, as always, Hellshade! What happened in the second Tripe one? Quote
Hellshade Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Thanks elephant. The wing structure failed due to over stressing it. Both the Sopwith Pup and Triplane's wins are more fragile (it seems to me) under WOFF UE than they were in previous editions. Perhaps I will have better luck with N17s. Squadron Leader turned quickly towards a pair of Hun DFWs, but two of our own collided in the sudden direction change, sending one of them to a fiery death before we even got close. On patrol, we get jumped from above by some Alb DIIs. My V struts are creaking just a bit too often for my comfort. If the Huns don't kill me, probably the V struts will. /sigh Quote
Hellshade Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 So I am flying escort for the two seaters and I notice that all the N17 scouts are below them, not above. Kinda strange, so I climb like hell to at least be a single plane for top cover. Sure enough while over occupied France, a flight of Albs drops down on me from even higher altitude. The good news is that I distracted them from the two seaters I was protecting. The bad news was they all swarmed me! I'm not sure how many of them there were. Maybe five? Finally, at least one of my wingmen joined to help and an incredible dogfight ensued while my recon flight made good their escape. Quote
Hellshade Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Jumped by Bosch while escorting a recon flight. We stayed behind to keep Jerry occupied while they continued their mission. Having handled the Albs, I try to catch up with my Recon flight. Instead, I come across a pair of Strutters being swarmed by Albs. It looked like a shark feeding frenzy, so I flew in hoping to give the Strutters some desperately needed relief. Quote
Hellshade Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Let's try something with some stronger wings so I stop killing myself with my own ham handedness on the stick. SE5A? Quote
Olham Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Wow, the fourth is a Desktop IMHO - nice, Adger! Quote

Fictional skin i believe by Raf Louvert. Thanks Lou! Well, I literally put all into (W)OFF I had to offer, over several years. So I guess it's only normal that you reach a point some day, when you move somewhere else. (W)OFF gave me far more than any other sim or game was ever able to give me, and I still believe, that I will come back to it one day. But right now I am flying WW2 in IL-2 (the new one). Yes, the skin must be from RAF_Louvert (greetings, Lou, if you should still read here!) - the emblem was from a German cigarette or cigar company of that time. Have fun, Adger - maybe one day we'll meet again - over Flanders fields... Quote

Without guys like you i wouldnt have gotten into OFF and then WOFF. Your sound advice,reports and screenshots will always be fondly remembered. I too go away for a while but this sim has that "something" that drags me back. I hope your enjoying IL2 is it the Battle of Stalingrad? how you finding it? Take care pal,and hopefully we will see you in the air above Flanders soon Quote
Olham Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Haha, you bring back memories, Adger! UncleAl - short: Unc - was a helpful guy for me too, when I started. IL-2 BoS is nice to fly online for me, but like RoF, it never has that "certain special something" that I only found in (W)OFF so far. So I guess, one day we'll meet again there! Quote
Adger Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Yep i agree with you 100% Olham..and im really looking forward to what OBD can do with WOTR. Im getting my WW2 fix with IL-2 1946+ BAT at the minute. They,ve done a brilliant job. Anyways back to WW1. Christmas Eve 1916,what a vile day to fly in. 2 Quote

jeanba Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 1st of May 1918, a patrol mission by Spa77 I am flying a 180hp Spad 7 First encounter : Rumpler CIV: I damaged one enemy planes but was wounded by the rear gunner. Two were seen diving with smoke, and "probable". Then, we encountered Fokker DrI: Using boom and zoom tactics, I chased one and filled a claim report: Quote
jeanba Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Mission by bad weather => accident upon landing Quote
+elephant Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 I used NVIDIA Shadowplay for the first time to take screenshots and found them in a folder named CFS3. Came on is this CFS3??? Congrats to all the members of the OBD team! :winner: (skin by James 'OvS' Romano with minor tweaks by me) Quote
