The first Fokker E.I arrived at the front in June 1915, followed by the E.II in July, and the E.III in August.

Wait, Jim - one day you will encounter your first Fokker!

Well-ll, from the statisics point of view maybe - the British will shoot your for that though.

Mmuahahahaaa!!! You know how the game goes in the army? It is always the lower rank's fault - never the officer's.

Andy, I'm using AnKor's mod, and my sim also crashes the first time I click "Go to field". If I start WOFF again after that, it works fine. Try it out.

That's true - I hope HPW will eventually be able to upgrade his system and come back to us.

Herr Prop-Wasche might know - but I haven't seen him recently...

Thanks for that; I'll see if I can do that too, as I still have microstutters near ground. But 32x AntiAliasing is overkill IMHO - 8x or 16x should do, and take less resources. Abnisotropic Filtering sharpens more distant objects - perhaps 4x is good enough?

Sorry if you feel lonely here, Hellshade; I was one of the 160, but I don't have the faintest idea. I maybe a good skinner, but tweaking FMs and DMs is far beyond my capacities. Good luck!

Capt, that shot of the DFW is an especially great view! Corsaire, I think I have chosen "Ambient" instead of "Realistic" sounds - I am still experimenting with some of the many WOFF settings. WOFF is so complex, that it may take me a year to come to a final setup that I like best. Oh, the affluence...!

Okay, Andy, here are my "Workshop" settings - try them the same. Let your graphic card do the Anti-Aliasing (8x) and Anisotropic Filtering (4x) - make sure it is set to "Override application settings for both. Set "VSync" to "Always On". Set "Anti-Aliasing Mode" to "Adaptive Multisampling" or try "Supersampling". Set your TrackIR "Speed" on 1 or less, and "Smooth" on 30 or less. Set your Anti-Virus-Program up for "Gaming Mode: On" (this is no safety risk; while gaming/being in "Full screen mode", it will not do unnecessary tasks, but take them up later) (You could even unplug your internet router for the flying time) I don't know NVidia graphic cards, but they hopefully have similar settings? Just try all this and report, okay?

What CPU and GPU do you run, Andy? (I think I used the wrong thread - it's OFF here, right?)

We had an escort do do, and this Strutter team was just crazy to attack our flights all alone! The weather and my mood were fine and not at all aggressive - but that asked for a thrashing! In the end he wasn't credited to me though - my wingman shot him down. It was a nice moment, when we three found the others from MFJ 1, and the recon flight, again.

Thanks for sharing this, Widowmaker. Damn, they were so young! I wonder how many PoW camps there were in Germany, and how the general treatment was. In the years 1917 and 1918, the food supply in Germany went very poor. The naval blockade by the British on one hand, and the many missing hands on the other were two main reasons. I was asthonished, that this PoW could use his cheques to draw money from his English bank. I would have expected that they would have taken any money away from the prisoners. So it wasn't all as bad as I had expected. No pleasant time either surely - I bet they had turnips all week long.

Haha, Wayfarer, I well remember how tricky it all became, when I had my first new TrackIR. I seemed to be worth nothing as a pilot, while the sensation itself - being able to look around and marvel at the scenery, the clouds and the shimmering surfaces of my own aircraft - where incredible! It took me a looong time, before I was halfways able to control my aircraft, while I was looking around in other directions. But then I was beyond the age of a fighter pilot, even for WW1 conditions, and I saw I had to give me much more time. I think it took me almost a year, until I felt really free and naturally in my cockpit. Only from there I could REALLY hope to survive a bit longer under combat conditions. So have a long patience with yourself. The training, as simple as it may appear, is a good start to get everything the way the instructor wants it. Once you can do all that he demands, you could install a pilot in a sqdn far behind the lines, flying a Sopwith Strutter or a Pup - those aircraft should be nice to handle and quite forgiving. With this feller you could just carry on training (and ignore the sqdn flight routine) until you feel so comfortable with Facetrack, that you can learn to fly in formation with them. That will again take it's time. And only when you feel good enough for combat with all that, you would stay with them, when they fly into combat. Just a looong thought.

Mmuahahahaaa!!!

Oh yes, we have - and we conduct it with great austerity! Picture from the Fliegerschule Bad Döberitz (now Döberitz-Dallgow) west of Berlin.

These fellers must have had too much time at their hands! Tch!! What would der Kaiser say to that? Kindergarten!!

Great to you going for it again, Capt! And wait, until you fly low over or near water! ....

Nice to see some ground units eventually. The RFC in a hilly area - is that near Amiens, Adger?

There are lots of new photos in the historical collection at WingnutWings - thanks, Greg vanWyngarden and all! http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/022C9E94AE2FFC17A40713E838094B11

It's a bug?!? Argghhh - I'm infected!!!
