Hellshade 110 Posted July 19, 2022 An intense little encounter while on patrol in my Alb DII with some Spad VIIs over a friendly air base. They managed to down a balloon but it cost them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptSopwith 26 Posted August 4, 2022 So I've been splitting my flight time between WOFF and the new Microsoft Flight Simulator and my jaw hit the desk last night playing through my 1915 British campaign. As our patrol of Bristol's headed out I could see the cloud cover break and the small village below. MSFS uses a technique they call Photogrammetry, which creates some genuinely convincing images of the ground. It's surreal to fly over your own home as the sim models the weather just outside your door. But for a 20+ year old game engine to do the same thing - to essentially create 1915 Photogrammetry? I'm genuinely astonished! It's hard to complete missions because I keep pausing the sim to take more screenshots! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Great pictures CaptSopwith. I must say the scenery in all those looks excellent but the last pic looks especially good, WM did a superb job. Edited August 6, 2022 by Polovski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerhear 50 Posted August 7, 2022 Was patrolling over the Ypres battlefield (3rd one). Was very impressed by all that was going on at the same time. Ground bombardment, infantry attack you can't see from this height without labels, Archie fire, rain and you can see lightening striking in the distance (love the lightening). On top of all that, we (Jasta 18) are about to be attacked by some Nieuport 27s. Amazing! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Rawlings 138 Posted August 8, 2022 Wait, what happened??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerhear 50 Posted August 8, 2022 They're not on the screenshot. I had everything paused to take the shot, then when I came back to the cockpit view I had Nieuports up my butt. Just relaying how many things are going on at once here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted August 9, 2022 I think Rick as asking what happened in the scrap between you and the Nieups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptSopwith 26 Posted September 30, 2023 This has been collecting dust for waaaaay too long. Here are some gorgeous photos I took this morning while on my first mission with 1 RNAS. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batemen 9 Posted January 15 Really close call fighting off two N11s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Rawlings 138 Posted January 16 Any group that can fly that tight a formation through clouds can handle some pesky Nieuports. Excellent work nonetheless... Also, I dig that b*tching Alpine sound system you had installed in the Einy... I think the propulsion of the sub woofer gave you a fortuitous extra 5-7kph! Also also, love the last minute "Uhh, am I going the right way?" glance at the compass! First rate all around! What happened to your wingmen? CaptSopwith, missed that pic the first time. That's quite a crew you got there! Who's leading who? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batemen 9 Posted January 16 Not 100% sure what happened to my wingmen, lost sight of them trying to maintain height over that Nieuport. They certainly didn't stick around to help haha. Hopefully I can get in a more capable machine soon before the anti fokker scourge brings an end to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Becker02 35 Posted May 17 After the difficult weeks over Ypres in autumn 1917 with some injuries my Jasta 8 is more south at Wassigny since a few days between St. Quentin and Cambrai. And the first pilots in our squadron fly the Pfalz DIII now (with some skins from @Jerbear). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Becker02 35 Posted May 24 (edited) 02.03.18: And because we have 2 "Pfalz DIII" in reserve I use my position as leader of Jasta 8 and change my "ALB DVa Upgrade" with the Pfalz. I want to test this aeroplane. And what do I see in the cockpit? A clock gauge!! Early 1918 the first aeroplane with a clock, so I don't need the digital "Z" -button (I would like to have a clock gauge in the HUD > wish list!). The crosshair is okay. So let's start.
