thanks will give a try. T he game is a blast never know what is going to happen

The games plays for a few flights then crashes back to the pilots room ( briefing, pick out mission , duty room ect.) the processer temp reads at start of game 34 by the time I get in 2 flights or so its at 54 so maybe its a heat problem did anyone have this problem ? (Cant afford a new computer) I got hooked on this game so even with the interuption I will continue to play and have a good time. U can go to quick action but as soon as u go to the field it crashes back Thanks

Just geek questions: I was wondering if the default aircraft in the jastas were marked in the sqn markings of the time or hap hazardly marked ? ( they look so cool ) 2. Can the sound files in the game be modified I saw and heard a Vickers 303 cal and a maxim 8mm cal machine guns firing on U tube and thought of this game How big of a task wood it be to change the files ? Lastly, Can the mods of the german aircraft in the forum be used in the game i.e., the two mods from The Blue Max Film. :yes: Wish list flyable aircraft: N10 and any of the early French two seaters. Fokker D-II and D-III s

Prop wash: I am new to this, how would I do it ? (download?) and where would I find it. ? I suppose the damage model is the one that installed with the patches or the game make over. I turn off the computer for a while then come back turn it on the only resources being used is the tray at the bottom of the screen it works for a couple of flights then crashes back to the duty room screen. theirs no stuttering or anything like that befor it happens. However if this is the only way to play the game, I am ok with it.

although I am new to single seaters, we do seem to get outnumbered by fighters. My Albatross D-3 driver is with jasta 9 in 1917 and we always seem to run in flights of 5 N17s and Spad 7s. Sometimes the V strutters number 5 or 3 even 2 and still the emeny ( most of the time ) numbers 5 a flight. Exceptions due occurr, Ran into a furball of 3 V strutters 2 N 17s added my drivers 2 V stutters brought it up to 5 to 2 Then 5 Spad 7s droped in on the fight so I shot and ran final tally: loss 1 Albatross plus one that crash landed (Force landing?) 1 Spad and 2 N 17s. The other exception seems to be 2 seaters the flights seem to range between 5 and 3. Sure wood like to see a single flying alone.

I kinda reget down loading the lastest patch seems it took away the hollywood type flames. The current engine fires are nice but sense I only get a couple of flights befor cashing back to the duty room. ( heating problem?) I do enjoy watching my few kills going down in flames. although the breaking off of wings and pilots jumping out of the airplanes are cool. Anyone know how to get the hollywood syle fires back hopefully with long flames steaming back from the aircraft ?

Totally awsome, great job Would love to play that sometime

What gets me, Sent out on a flight to attack a balloon I burn it in flames then return but no claim report so I dont get credit. The other thing is Airbase attacks I seem to b e the only one in the flight of 5 a/c to attack . Everybody is just flying around having a good time while I collect bullet holes.

Would like to see some early models of 2 seaters flying alone or just a pair ( meat on the table) then our scores will go up or an easy to burn model of early single seaters N 10 S ? or Farman or Voision ( cant ya just drool over these easy kills flying alone over the lines with fat flamable gas tanks)

Hang in there, I have almost the same problem. Mine turns out to be heat. When I want to play more then 40 mins I pop the covers off the computer and point a fan in that direction. Basic ,but it works for awhile or I just play a round to a little less then 40 mins. then go do something else for a bit. I am glad I did and stick with the game. U will find that its a good buy with addicking game play. Not to mention all the good advice and support from fellow airplane nuts in the forum. (these guys will spend 3 hours on teamspeak helping a fellow player. u cant beat that) As for ROF, it looks like a lot of money and a new computer might make it playable plus time to get the kinks out. And as with all subcription games,they can be hacked and u dont really know where the information goes or to who?

Its an elite sqn jasta 1 in 1917. Guess thats why they are aggressive ( rotten, no good, get fat on what should be my kills). Will try, the tac so they ( fat eatin vultchers) will stay away from my targets. Tryed a more dismal sqn but they kept getting shot down or left me in a pickel as one of the forum members have already mentioned.

Recently, I switch over to single seaters and noticed my flight feeds off me. 5 albatross D-3s 5 nueiport 17s during the melee I scored 9 hits on a N17 he started to smoke. One of my sqn mates swings in and gives him a burst and down it goes. On the way back, ran into 3 fe2bs above us climbed when closer fired 3 bursts numerous hits circled for the kill and theres another sgn mate firing into my target. end of flight. Basicly, I do the work and the vultchers feed off me. They get the kills.

I agree, OFF is a better buy at this time maybe in a few years ROF will be up to snuff

Any one buy the subscription sim Jutland.? Heard the severs were hard to connect and the download took forever? Never heard anyone say if the the problems were worth the effort and money?

Took a break from the tuff firing twoseaters, Set everything to the easiest settings. and approached the persuit planes signed up a sopwith pup driver ( Sgt Fish and Chips). Thought Id have a go at the V stutters, Stated 1st patrol on 1 Apr 1917. 2 missions and 1 claim for a balloon later the sqn was down to 5 pilots out of 13. Next patrol, got a few hits on a two seater ( a flight of 3) took hits in the engine and made a forced landing in no mans land ( when will I learn not to attack them from the rear) was captured but escaped 16 days later. Next up, with all 5 pilots in the sgn, we went for a barrage patrol of their side of the lines. The flight got jump by a flight (5) of albatross V stutters D-3 s with black stripes on the elavators. 2 pups went down. Mine because I never saw him behind me and the other was caught between 2 D-3s one behind and one shooting from underneath causing smoke then fire. Now the persuit sgn has 3 pilots left and its only 18 April 1917. Think I will go back to twoseaters. PS was wondering how many pilots were in a sgn ? were the amounts equal on both sides ? and were there a aircraft for each pilot in the sgn ? any researchers know?

Thanks to all, I will try and put the advice to work

Any tips about knocking the two seaters down. Tryed long range 44, 60,27 rounds got hits but it didnt go down. Next I tryed a deflection shot curving into the attack as the RE8 turned to the right I was fairly close and got 3 hits in my wings and 2 in the engine for my troubles ( mine were all misses) had to force land my kite (albatross D-2). Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do better?

1. The Dawn Patrol : I still watch it on occassion (always wondered what planes they used in the film) 2. Hells Angeles: a wonder to behold and the actress in it was a delight to watch as well as the aircraft dog fights. 3. The Blue Max: Casting was excellent ,Aircraft and dogfights passable, Overall a visual treat (in 1981. I had the rare chance of seeing the actress in the film ( she was lost while driving a white VW bug ) she also was rare a visual treat. P.S. I Would luv to have dvds of Red Baron , wings the T V series, Red Baron and Brown . If anyone runs across them please post it in the forum. Also althought its WW2 there was a little known British T V program about spitfire pilots in 1940.

thanks to all for the advice and tips. Will give it a try set everything as suggested thanks.

How do u turn off the engine torque seems to always be on?

Great Score hun? Unfortunaly its all me ( yep been killed 43 times) Only had a few last more then 7.o hours by hideing in the clouds or on the ground What am I doing wrong I set everything to easy but still get knocked off fast.

Still dont get the tac. When you see a blip on the tac at 12 o clock is that in front of u ? and can it tell what height the blip is at? Been turning alot whenever a blip appears and I have been spotting the attacks to the rear of the aircraft.

I I agree that the AAA should be more consentrated at least over the lines and it would be a great way to help spot Aircraft. Thanks to all who answered my help call about the TAC still learning to use it but have had some sucess. while in a 1 1/2 strutter (Sopwith) got hits on a Albt D-2 then my tail gunner got 4 hits more. Next flight , jumped 5 D-2 Albt. spoted them on the tac saw them below after a while dived in to attack swung slowly on the tail of one and got 4 hits, closer 6 hits he turned right as I fired a long Burst and he smoked and hit the tree line,of course the others tore up my flight of three but did learn to use the tac a little bit.

Althought it doesnt seem to happen all the time, the game crashes back to the the pilot screen. For example, id be getting shot to bits and headed down to the ground in the game.then I am back at the start of the mission. Somtimes it does make sense and I am listed as injured ( the crash look KIA to me) and given 17 days to recouperate. Any advice ? :yes:

Everytime I enlist a pilot with a jasta passed 1916, He gets shot down within two flights. I can never seem to read the hud correctly enought to see them befor they turn me into toast. Anyone have any thoughts or advice. They always seem to fall on me from above and behind but I can never see the 1st. The one that got me was an RE8 I was in an albt D-3 pursuit. How can this happen?
