  1. There is no F/A-22...puti! :)

    :off_topic:

    Since I assume you were talking about SFP1, perhaps an F/A-22 could be made for SF. The Add-on Aircraft/Modern Era Aircraft/F-22 directory in downloads is completely empty, yet still there. Perhaps somebody PLANS to release one. Personally, I would like to see an F-35B. (But that's just me. :biggrin: )


  2. I was wondering, would it be feasible or at least possible to put seagoing vessels in FE? the Flanders terrain has the Channel to the N/W, and Verdun has plenty of lakes.

    Any feedback (except mocking the illustration) will be much appreciated.


  3. I'm new to FE.

     

    First campaign mission I'm taking off in the dark?

    OK maybe, but then I'm enganged in the dark as well.

     

    The sun is beggining to show on the horizon but I"m still having serous truble seeing anything.

     

    did they really take off in the dark in WWI?

     

    maybe pree dawn lighting isn't modeled correctly?

     

    Yes, the pre-dawn lighting is correct; and some bombing missions were done at night in the Great War.

     

    This was accomplished with little cockpit lights, a good sense of direction, being able to see in the dark with some small amount of clarity, and copious amounts of luck.


  4. :biggrin: Welcome to CombatACE, raffer. Yep, they are default A/C but they are not flyable without cockpits. Adding cockpits isn't difficult. Check out "How To Make AI Planes Flyable" in the Knowledge Base thread in the WOE/WOV/SF/FE forum. The SPAD XIII cockpit works great for the Salmson. The D7 pit for the DFWC is less satisfactory but it not too bad.

     

    I have flown the Salmson, but without a cockpit. Allow me to explain. A few weeks ago, when I got bored, I decided to see if the F-14 would fly in FE. It did, to an extent. My mistake came in installing the weapons pack, which jacked up my game pretty bad. I have no idea what happened. My game may have thought it was SFP1. But I digress. I went into a campaign, and and the "Mercanary" option was available. With monkeylike curiosity, I entered that campaign. It showed my first mission as "Army Co-operation" with "Craft: 2 Salmson 2 A2". I loaded the mission up, and I was actually piloting the Salmson, to an extent. (It stands to reason that I was too stupid to take a screencap.) It was rather sluggish on the controls, and had a max speed of 111 mph. The cockpit mode just showed me the propeller in front of me, and the guns above me. The guns would not do anything.

     

    It sucked.

     

    I did reinstall FE though, so it's all good now. :ok:

     

    Oh, and welcome to CombatACE, raffer.
