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.

I haven't heard from him either. I still lurk around. Get a few missions in a week between work, girlfriend and my D&D hobby. My D&D Facebook group has exploded to over 31k members and now I am working with some of the largest terrain and mini manufacturers on various projects. Even got to run an adventure at the SWFL SpaceCon, which was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Not much time left for videos and posting here but I still love flying early war missions in my Alb DII or late war missions in my Sopwith Bentley. Feels good to bag a kill...or escape with my life. I hope RAF and everyone else is doing well.

I doubt there's anything you can do about it. CFS3 engine issue, but the fog seems to be the most likely to flicker when flying through it. It looks beautiful when not flickering, but when in combat it can be a bit disconcerting.

I love the new clouds, Buckeye. They are a joy to behold and your artwork is amazing. Thanks for all your efforts on this.

Having some fun in an SE5a campaign. Lots of power and great field of view. Just need to Boom & Zoom rather than turn fight usually. At least until I have them nicely damaged.

Continuing my little reign of terror in the DI.

Started a DI campaign in Jasta 1. Love those early birds!

Well, he flew every mission bravely and never showed fear in the face of the enemy. Right up until the end. 19 missions. Just shy of 30 hours and 1 confirmed kill to his name but rear gunners in an Aviatik took him out. RIP Andrew Ingraham.

Final flight status for this weekend for Flight Sub-Lieutentant Andrew Ingraham (AI). 9 Missions flown in his Nieuport 10C for a total of 12.7 hours and 1 confirmed kill. He's off to a great start!

We've all heard there were parts of the war when some pilots had a lifespan of less than 2 weeks. I decided on a lark to try an experiment and enlist a pilot - Andrew Ingraham - in RNAS 1 on 23 January 1916 and let him fly all of his own missions, from take off, patrols, fighting engagements all the way until landing just to see how long he would last and what kind of a career he would have. He was made a Veteran pilot and you can see the workshop settings in the pic below. After four missions and 4.02 flight hours logged, he bagged his first kill (an Eindecker). He flies while I watch TV, etc. Wish him luck. He's doing his best for King and Country!

Capped off my weekend with this surreal dogfight with the legend himself. I was too late to save the two seater he pounced on and even when I got on the Baron's tail, his wingmen were all over my 6 shooting me full of holes. After a prolonged fight, Manfred walked away from a controlled crash landing and I limped away with a crate that looked like flying swiss cheese.

Long weekend gave me a chance to finally get some flying in.

Then there's this, from the guys who made Verdun. Italian front action.

I second this. That would be wonderful and add a bit more challenge to the experience.
