Both PHASE2 and PHASE3 will not only expand to the full 14-18 war but will also see extra craft for 17/18 period and a few other things that will not be ready in time for Xmas and Phase1 release. Also moving frontlines and improved ground unit damage modelling with persistent village damage as the lines move will feature in Phase2.

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.

TK from Thirdwire has posted some new screenies for us! http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.p...der=asc&start=0 As usual, these are WIP. :)

As posted at SimHQ by Winding Man: "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all, After much deliberation the release of the first phase of OFF - "Bloody April" is currently scheduled for the "Festive Season" i.e December 2005. Naturally this is not cast in stone but we are all striving to make this a reality. Fokker Scourge and Recon Wars will therefore only be released during the course of 2006. Given the current features that will be in OFF in the first release this December, I know that you will all feel that the wait is worth it. There will be a web site update shortly confirming the above goals as well as detailing some of the latest developments. http://www.off.oldbrowndog.net Best WM"

I'm a bit late on this one... This past fathers day Richthofen's Skies recieved an update from the developers. Included were 3 new aircraft, many bug fixes and improved code. For more details visit: http://www.targetware.net

The Promised Land has yet another offering in the works! Details here: http://www.plgrafix.com/index3a.htm Looks very exciting!

Based off of the original S.E.5a by Sv and Nuum, this S.E.5a has a completely new cockpit, remapped and reshapped fuse 3d model, flares loadout selectable via the Mission Editor, a new hi-res skin by Recon3, and many other neat features and fixed code! Please read the readme file for installation instructions. You MUST have FS-WWI Plane Pack 4 On-line Standard installed for this to work. This is the full package so it's a bit large. Download here: S.E.5a Final Rebuild (10.2mb) Enjoy! :)

Much got done! This got shelved a while back because of a lack of skinners. I do currently have a skinner, but still 95% of the aircraft needs repainting. the new engines are in by Recon3, the "bath tub" like casing surrounding the bottom of the in-lines are in and textured as well. Also, the damage models and coding are done, and the 3d shadow is done. I've been steadily working on this project... Stalling if you will, waiting for the skin to get completed. I've still got some other minor issues to tidy up with the model.

This is a non-online standard small update. Just a tie-over if you will before I leave on vacation... Included are the Flight Model revisions of the Fokker Dr.1a and Sopwith Camel as well as the cockpit and 3d-model updates to the Albatros B.II and Vickers F.B.5a. Should spruce things up a bit! The Camel and Dr.1a FMs were extensively tested by DDT and myself, as well as Flatline with DDT providing most of the technical data. I hope you enjoy! :) Link: Intern FS-WWI Aircraft Update Pack (8.89mb)

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

Indeed a most excellent mod! Quite fun if you can find the people to fly with. :)

I missed it! Sounds informative tho! :D

Nope, doesnt appear so... :(

Strange it works for me! :(
