My AI pilot of the moment Edward Cheshire of 11 Sqn RFC just flew a patrol behind friendly lines in atrocious weather. The debrief tells me that 4 planes took off and 3 returned to the airfield where 4 landed safely. How can 3 return and 4 land I wonder?

I bought this title again this morning and just flew my first mission as a newly minted German Albatros pilot. Probably a true experience of many newbies, I did not fire a shot and but got shot up badly till my engine stopped working and started smoking. I managed a good dead stick landing and miraculously survived despite a myriad of holes in my machine. The game loaded and worked flawlessly on my Windows 11 setup. Despite being downloaded from the Windows 7 tab on the Thirdwire site it worked flawlessly. Thanks Wrench for telling me it would.

I have probably bought this FE2 title a couple of times in the past but it is no longer on my PC. I am willing to buy it again but it is listed under Windows 7 on the thirdwire store. Will it run on Windows 11?

Hi, I downloaded the update 1.04 this morning and tried to install it but got an error message:- C:\OBDSoftware\WOTR\OBDWW2\Wings Over The Reich\WOTR.exe An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file: Deletefile failed; code 5. Access is denied. Click retry to try again, Ignore to skip this file (not recommended), or Abort to cancel installation. Any ideas on how to fix please?

Memory issues on my part. I forgot that in order to get a patch to work it should be unzipped to the OBDWW2 Wings Over The Reich directory and run from there. I was was trying to run it from the downloads directory.

Any Presents heading our way from OBD? Belgian expansion for example?

Posted on Simhq as well. I am not sure if this was posted on the Tech issues but when I try to use WOTR and WOFF I get UISEL.xml error - Goto Workshops and reset WOTR!! No reset in my workshops so how to fix please?

Very nice work. You have a lot of talent and an amazing eye for detail

Thank you. She is queen of my FEG

Hi, I did a re-install and found that my Pete01 FM mod was corrupted. Can someone point to the path for it in the downloads please. It is not in the places that I have looked so far and a search does not turn anything up for it either.

Could you please disregard this post. Found what I was looking for thanks.

Probably dumb question number 857, but I was going to shoot up a few balloons in a Spad 7 with rockets in my FEG game and noticed that some of my planes that I have installed are not coming up as selectable in my single mission menu. I can see Spad 13 but no Spad 7. Is there an ini file that I should extract and fiddle with from a cat file?

Thanks for the tip, but there are no Spad cockpits in the download section. I will fiddle around with using the Spad XII ini settings instead.

Thank you for your most excellent work

A few years back I used to play RB and I loved the GE brass band sound of the music that came with it. Anyone know if that RB soundtrack is available as a wav so we can use it in First Eagles?

I read that the Belgian Ace Willie Coppens ended up on top of an enemy balloon and managed to turn off his engine and slide off before it crashed to earth. Is it possible in this sim to land a plane on top of a balloon, or would the damage modelling prevent this happening?

I was wondering if there were any plans by the many talented folk here to do an Alpine scenery for FE and maybe even an SVA5 to go with the Caproni, so the Italians could do their through the alps bombing runs? Not real clever with scenery design but would be willing to help with skinning.

Hi All, I have been trying to download some planes from cplengineering site and I keep getting asked for my username and password. I am already logged in to this site and when I put my username and password in that I use for here it obviously is not the one to be used. I cannot see anything obvious on how to register at the cplengineering site so could someone point me in the right direction please.

Thank you. Beautiful work
