Indeed! To be fair, those tree tops don't render in until late and the don't read very well against the partial snow tiles, so I wasn't completely careless! I did have a pretty good laugh over it, as it is an oddly appropriate end for me to a challenge based on past experiences...

Thanks guys! Trees are apparently the new fences!

Tim Tully Mission 12 Double Whoops!

You should always read the small print! But you shouldn't try to predict the future!

mandrews_2: Nice work there! Now you'll have something to rattle when you go to see the Beatles, if there is ever such a group... catch: just caught up with both your videos. Really lovely work, both the video production and the fighting!

Tim Tully Mission 11

Great reports, Baldric, and congratulations on you confirmed and bringing back everyone safely, which is even better!

... It's pronounced Franken-steen... lofty_c: Yes, I think week 2 will be a doozy!

Much like his user!

Trooper: Ugg! I hate missions in the dark! carrick: NOOOO! Those trees are a real pain, but more on that later... sorry to see you go!

Tim Tully Mission 10 This one was my fault. I should have checked the time more closely and bumped it back a couple of hours...

TROOPER: NOOOOOOOOO! catch: YESSSSS! This war is all over the place!

Tim Tully Mission 9

That's still cracker-jack for 3 missions! We'll catch it on the next report!

Stache, just got done watching the videos, great stuff! I think like in the first one where all the weather effects are active at the same time, this game can't be beat. The second one could be called "It's Raining Albatroses" . And the last one, great job finding a road on the edge of No Man's Land! I guess we'll see you in 1918!

Sorry, not sure how to get rid of an accidental quote on a tablet... It's been mentioned before, but for witnesses, it would be good to be able to list artillery units, balloons, infantry, etc as well... For mine, I would like to suggest a way to dither the transition from overcast to clear skies. Both views look great, but the transition is really jarring, probably more so than cloud pop. If there could just be some gradations as you go from one to the other would really help a lot.

Not gonna lie...that's what I was (not so) secretly hoping WOtR was going to be!

Wow! 24 days in the hospital is one of the longest stats I have seen. Those observers are dynamite, as you may seem in an upcoming mission of mine. I'll check out the videos in a bit here...

carrick58, you always manage to get these great dynamic pictures that look like they actually could have be taken in the middle of combat! Oh no, MFair! You were off to such a rocking start! catch, you're good. Like I said, that crash sounds pretty survivable anyway! Here's what things look like at the end of week 1: Couple quality of life requests for old Rick Rawlings: Please answer all questions other than your name and the how did you die one numerically. Please be careful to enter 0 and not the letter o. Please don't do the math, the spreadsheet should do that. TROOPER117, I am guessing you did not get 40 kills for three sorties? If you should die somewhere along the way, it would be helpful if you would complete the survey once at the end of each of the next two weeks so I don't have to transfer the data. Everyone try to hang in there! Good luck!

Congratulations, mandrews_2, here's to many more confirmed! carrick58, that's one more pass than I feel comfortable making, but I usually do it too! Yes, yes, anywhere from 3-7 per week is the prescription! You can catch up if you'd like. The hard limit at the end is 22.

Going into week 2: Tim Tully Mission 8

Did you get the "Sadly, you have died in combat" announcement at the end of the mission with the funeral movie? If not, you should probably be ok. I think sometimes crashed tend to look worse than they are, and sometimes you just get lucky! If anyone wants to raise an objection, please pm me but otherwise, as long as you didn't get the above message and you haven't accidentally checked invulnerable pilot in the workshop, you're good to go. It certainly seems like running into a parked plane at the end of a landing rollout would be survivable! As for the videos, for me anything that happens in runtime gets sent into the Combat Flight Simulator folder while anything in the shell (campaign screen, mission debriefs, claims screen, etc.) goes to the World of Final Fantasy folder as you mentioned. I don't think I've ever tried taking screenshots using shadowplay. I will either just use the print screen key or grab them afterwards during playback.

Wow, I had never heard of WoW before. I thought that when you said you could leap into another plane you just meant that you would select a different plane in your flight and you would "become" that guy, but, no, I just watched a video and your pilot literally jumps from one plane to the next, tremendous! Although I felt bad for the poor observer left behind in the now pilot-less plane!

Nice one, carrick58, we've been seeing a lot of verticality, flights way above or way below. You'd think both sides could get on the same page if they really want to have a war...

Stache, glad you re-linked those videos, those were awesome! The first one was very atmospheric with the rain and down-on-the deck target-rich environment and the second one went crazy when that Albatros dove on you. Nobody collided in that big fight? And as the cherry on top, you managed to just miss the fence when you crashed, which is probably why you lived!
