I have flying early campaigns in the Nieuport 11 in 1916 and I´m starting to think something is wrong.The last one I deleted because after 12 hours of combat time I have seen nor even one enemy aircraft. I started a french campaign now in the third mission and no enemies until now, even when the mission is over the enemy airfield. Is this right?Maybe there is nothing related , but it´s happening after the 1.30 patch. I´m flying DiD ,100% realism, but using warping.

I bought it in october, when I was in NY on a trip with my wife.I find it in Borders and really is a gem, like you said. One thing I have seen in the pictures is the windscreen of the Nieup 11 , looks a lot less restrictive to the view than we have in the game. What you think?

Sorry by the noob question, but how can I fill all the details required (height, local in the map,time of mission,WITNESS?)Do i have to take notes? I finally finish my first mission in the tripe, had sucessfully attacked an airstripe,take mg hits, survived, and after that downed two Alb DIII.But I wasn´t able to fill correctly my claims, all I could write was that I downed two Alb but don´t had any clues if I had a witness.I suspect that after all the hard work I probably will not have any credits at all.I had tryed to review the mission to fill in more acurately my claims but was impossible, the screen was obliterated by the claim form...

Thanks,Winder. I was already looking in the workshops and found this button. That solved the problem.(not really a problem but a feature)

Ok,thanks.I suppose this happens more often in early scenarios?

In campaigns,when I hit the go to field button, I keep receiving this messages "non critical error:skin from plane... is missing from path OBD/campaigns etc Will be replaced for standart skin" Usually is referring to special ace skin. Then I press "OK" about ten times and go fly. I´m using 1.28 patch in a portuguese Win XP SP3 32

Are you doing a new model?

C´mon , I will really need to adapt to this ww1 machines because I have been beated so hard countless times, and I´m only in QC until now. Well, I only have 1 hour of flight time tomorrow night (took eleven days to mail arrives), let´s see if I adapt or things will became worse with time. Maybe my flying skills have deteriorated a bit because I´m using a saitek rudder for the first time in years and I´m still struggling to adapt with it too... Excuses,excuses,I need them to heal my smashed ego...

Thanks,I´ll try this way when my copy arrives.(fingers crossing)

Nothing wrong with your attitude. Thanks for explain it for us.

No problems , Parky. Pol´s statement makes total sense to me,about aces dying only in their historical dates. It adds to imersion.

up

I´m not sure you understood what I was asking, but Pol did it and already answer my question. Thank you very much anyway.

Well , I didn´t know the airfields are mostly empty.(I´m still waiting the mail) I was hoping to be possible to weaken an enemy squadron by catching it with their paits down in their airfields(something that could justify the risk of facing AAA) So,you can fight with the same ace many times in the same campaign,if I understood well (AI don´t play DiD)

You can´t kill an ace? So,if you encounter a downed ace in the next mission,he looks like a zombie?

Winston, I´m very interested on your settings, because I have the same VGA than you. I´m using a E8400 with 4Gb RAM in a 22 monitor. Can you post your entire setting? Thanks.

If you shot down in a mission an enemy ace, it will remain dead until the end of campaign? And how this will affect the morale of his squadron? The damage you do to enemy airfields affect the strenght of the enemy patrols in the next missions?

Those simptoms are certainly related to some light source on your back. It confuses TrackIR a lot and it starts to behave erratically.

Well , I think my system will give me a very good experience... I´m very satisfied with your answers, thank you very much, folks.

Is there to much a difference between a GTX 260 864 MB RAM and the GTX 280 1GB RAM?

What´s the best graphics settings for a rig like mine? Core2duo E8400 3,0 Ghz Geforce GTX 260 4 meg RAM Samsung 22 1680x1050

Well, thank you very much for the explanation, I find it really useful. I do like flight sims, (I was hooked in the original Red Baron times,can´t remember the release date) I´m flying with Il2 since the demo, but I always missed a new WW1 flight sim like Red Baron 3D with it´s brilliant campaign. So, if I understand well , is not the damage model that´s interchangeable, but the weapon effectiveness,am I right? And you are saying that both are acceptable, it´s a matter of taste... Well I think I will have to wait for my copy arrives and decide to myself , according my own concept of "realism"

I´m still waiting to my OFF copy to arrive by the mail, so I have seen that there are two damage models:"Normal" and "Hard". What´s the most realistic in your opinion?

Is it possible to have a kill claim not confirmed and why?
