Ahhh... Do you have WW2 + FS-WWI loaded and combined? Or just FS-WWI? FS-WWI stand alone is supposed to have only Great Britain, United States, France, Russia, Italy, Australia and Germany.

Yes it's supposed to be completely flyable and shootable. It sounds like there might be a bug with the ISO.. What files are in the aircraft folder for both Ilya's? There should be at least a note.txt file..

Ah yes the ISO! Such a blessing. :) It sounds like you may not be setting the altitude high enough. With the Somme terrain, you are at least a thousand ft above sea level so you need to set the altitude accordingly. Also, the speed needs to be at least 70 mph set in the mission editor. Also, for the fuel set the ammount to 0 (Which means a full tank) To change how the gunners track you have to jump to that gunner position, take it over and then press T to change the target. Then switch it back to AI control.

Hi Gr.Viper! I hope the install process went smoothly for you. :) The old kites are among my favorites to fight. Nothing like slow patient turns to gain some slight advantage with the revolver.. The pilots were probably stuck, trapped in their kites. I wish we could reprogram the AI for these slower fights though.

I'm glad you got some good things out of it! :) Thanks a lot for your input.

Russian developer team, called GT announced the start of the WWI sim development: http://www.gennadich.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1453 And for starters, the first developement update: http://www.gennadich.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1498 This is a Babelfish translation: Company GT (Genaddich Team) officially announced about the beginning of the works on the new project PC game in the genre of aviasim, under the working name: "The First World War: Knights of the Skies ". Actions according to the game design will take place in the period from 1916 to 1918 on the Western Front, were three sides: England, France and Germany occupied the defensive positions on the borders of Belgium and France. Exactly at this time, at the dawn of the birth of aviation, for the first time combat aircraft were used an mass, and the first aces glorified their names by audacious victories in the first air battles. In the territory of more than 100 000 square kilometers players will be able to take part in the known to us only from historical literature famous battles in Ypres, Malmezon, in the operation of Kambre, in the battle on the river Liss, and the Verdun meat grinder. 13 legendary aircraft controlled by player, being planned to be included in the game. derailed to us from the historical illustrations: Fokker Dr.1, Nieuport 17/17bis/23, SPAD XIII, Albatros D.III, Gotha G.V, Sopwith Camel, R.E.8, and also up to 30 aircraft and dirigibles under control of the AI and more than 60 models of ground-based equipment and personnel. In the game it will have Single Player, Network play (via the Internet), campaigns for the players on the both sides of the conflict. Convenient system of learning instruction will also be developed. Deeply modified engine of the Il-2 Sturmovik game (by Maddox Games) is going to be at the base of the project, but the GT is planning to introduce thousands of changes related not only to the 3D models of new objects and changes into landscape, but also improvements into graphic and sound special effects, corrections for the flight model and ballistic characteristics of the armament, and much more into its source code, which will allow to elevate new game to the standards of the 2006 simms. Preliminary date of release of project - end of the Autumn of 2006. The publisher of project is 1C. This is some OUTSTANDING news for all of us WWI sim fans!!!!

It's done! Download here: FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 Patch (94.4mb) Included are many bug fixes, new aircraft, updates to existing aircraft, missions and ground objects. All of the previously released content that came after Plane Pack 4 is included, except the Albert terrain. This will also overwrite any existing aircraft files you may have (Including some skins). The startup, gui and score property files needed for the WWI British and German medals to work properly are included. It is highly recommended if you have a combined WW2 and WWI install that you make backups of these files before installing this patch. As always, I recommend two separate installs for WW2 and WWI. Included are two stats.bmp files for the newer aircraft released since Plane Pack 4. One to work with the FS-WWI Themed GUI 1.6.0.6 Patch and one to work with the regular 1.6.0.6 Patch. By default the 1.6.0.6 FS-WWI Themed Patch stats.bmp file is used. If the color is off and does not match the background, simply rename the current one in use in the Media\GUI\Art\Hangar\Country\Aircraft folder to stats.old and then rename the stats2.bmp to stats.bmp Add-ons that are required: You MUST have FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 to use this Patch You MUST have FS-WWI Nations v2 to use this Patch. You MUST have the Full Somme Terrain (Repaint) installed. You MUST have the official Parsoft 1.5 patch installed. You MUST have the 1.6.0.6 Patch or FS-WWI Themed 1.6.0.6 Patch installed. Some of the missions in the 1916 Mission Packs and other missions require the Tobruk, Snowy Somme and Albert terrains. The missions will not work with out these terrains installed! Get them here: Tobruk: http://php2.phpwebservices.com/FS-WW1/tobrukinstall.exe Snowy Somme: http://php2.phpwebservices.com/FS-WW1/Snowy_Somme.exe Albert: http://www.fsww1.com/Downloads/Terrains/Albert_Beta.exe An updated All-In-One is in the works which will include this Patch and the Albert terrain. Enjoy!

They do not take paypal, sorry! :(

No downloadable version mate! It would appear their website is down for me right now. I just ordered something from there last week and got the package so I know they are still operating. Probably just doing some work on their website..

Great to hear! Ya if you have the ability to download the All In One please do so. It's much smoother to get going, less EXEs to contend with. We need to get some multiplayer going soon, I've missed flying FS-WWI online. :(

Just a little update: The new FS-WWI All In One is done. It includes the following downloads: FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 Patch FS-WWI Nations v2.0 Full Somme Terrain Repaint 2 FS-WWI Parfile updater Rhineland Revamp Albert Terrain Snowy Somme Terrain Tobruk Terrain Stock Terrain Modifications Latest Property Files It's right at 604mb.

Hey mate! Ya I don't know how you've missed FS-WWI... We've been around for years! ;) I've been running the show since 2001 when Plane Pack 2 was released. You ordered the game CD from Chips and Bits then? If you need anyhelp with anything feel free to visit our home at: www.openplanesim.com Out of curiosity what Install Option did you take? P.S. I just got finished updating www.fsww1.com so if you want you can take a look at the Included Aircraft section to see all the aircraft that are flyable in FS-WWI. :)

I used to draw up my own plans and do these way back in the day with spinning props, retractable landing gear and I even weighted and balanced the models to glide slightly. :)

Recon3 has brought us yet other masterpiece! This beautiful aircraft was both built and skinned by him. I was responsible for bug fixing, code tweaking, FM, DM and the final assembly bits. Be sure to read the readme file! You will need FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 for this add-on to work. Enjoy! Download here: Pfalz D.XII Beta 1

While browsing their website I ran across this: Very exciting!

Sweeeeeeeeet!!!

Updates in english can now be found at: http://www.gennadich.com/ New in-game screenshots have been posted along with aerodrome screenshots! Current state of the game is pre-alpha.

Winding Man posted a detailed Update for OFF Phase 2. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=29447 Also posted here on the front page of the OFF website: http://www.overflandersfields.com http://off.oldbrowndog.net/

Very sorry for the loooong wait on this one guys!!! I lost the backup build I had that I did a ton of work on, and then real life really kicked me in the butt. Major Hippie sent me this build with the missions, skin pack and ground objects as well as it all compiled in a PAR file. I then created an installer and here she be! There are a few bugs, and tons of stuff I wish to add, but that is for a later date. :) MASSIVE thanks and praise to Major Hippie for finishing her off with the best terrain textures I've seen yet in this game, and for the awesome missions. Also a big thanks to Gypsy9 for starting this project. I hope you guys enjoy it! You will need the latest FS-WWI OLS for this terrain to fully function. The skin pack can also be turned on/off via the OpenPlane option in-game. Download here: Albert Terrain Beta (77.3mb)

The beautiful 3d model was done by Recon3 as well as the initial building and assembly. I was responsible for the dmg code, FM tuning, DM tuning, bug fixing and code optimizations. The skin was done by Recon3 and looks GREAT!! Of course it's 1024x1024 so be sure to set the texture size correctly in SDOE Options section. If your computer can't handle the hi-res tifs, then just change the option to a lower setting. The pilot is a slightly modified Dirk pilot with textures by Recon3. YOU NEED THE LATEST FS-WWI PLANE PACK 4 ADD-ON TO USE THIS AIRCRAFT. Included are two stats.bmp files. One to work with the FS-WWI Themed GUI 1.6.0.6 Patch and one to work with the regular 1.6.0.6 Patch. By default the 1.6.0.6 FS-WWI Themed Patch stats.bmp file is used. If the color is off and does not match the background, simply rename the current one in use in the Media\GUI\Art\Hangar\Germany\PfalzDXII folder to stats.old and then rename the stats2.bmp to stats.bmp Features: -DM includes fuel leaks, respectable engine DM, minor control surface DM and a damaged model with skin. -Moving control stick, rudder peddles and throttle. -Flare loadout for night flying -Many more! **NOTES** Press the X key to lean over the side for takeoffs and landings. There are no damaged skins yet. Installation: Unzip into the Fighter Squadron\Media folder with the 'Use folder names' option checked. Download here: Siemens-Schuckert D.III Beta 1 Enjoy!

In fear that a proper skin may never be done for her, I have decided to pull everything together and release this old kite as an alpha. That's not to say she's not functional or fun to fly! ;) You will need FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 installed for this add-on to work, as always check the readme file! There are some things that may look at bit rough... Things left to do are: Portholes needed to be painted in A proper set of missions A proper paint job Beta testing Hangar stats A better Hangar picture once a proper skin is done If you would like to start on a skin, please let me know and I can send you what color profiles I have. I hope you guys enjoy this one! Download here: Ilya A Floatplane Alpha Please post any bugs or comments here. :)
