Baldric

Really enjoyed viewing your videos. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks Olham! My WWI knowledge base is a bit shaky so corrections/tips are very welcome. If I recall right, it would have been June-ish 1916 when the Jastas were first ordered formed and August 1916 for their first actions (?), so that would be a perfect start (can I start an ingame campaign then?).

CFS3 installed and patched. Just waiting now for OFF to arrive. Planning to start in 1916 if I can...Fokker Scourge and all that. <waits>.

Thanks for the advice! Hugely appreciated. I love the earlier machines. Argh...this is the first weekend in a long time I've wished would go quicker o.O

Cheers m8, If RoF had a log it would show one pilot having 7 missions survived, with one promotion to Lieutenant, having two aerial kills--- 1x SpadXIII, 1xSE5a (credit not given for third, a SpadXIII, and fourth, a Nieuport 28, just didnt matter), solo'd one patrol due to Jasta mates all nosing in on take-off, survived one bad shot-to-hell landing, finally shot dead by enemy observer on Mission No.8, crashing near Vimy Ridge. Aircraft: Albatross DV And then the log would be filled in with a myriad of single and double sorties all ending in either a) being BBQ'd in my cockpit, or b ) shearing off important flighty bits, like wings, at high altitude, or c) surgical lead lobotomy via enemy observers. And once setting my plane on fire by flying through an enemy balloons fireball. Under no illusions- I'm pants ! :D Looking forwards to the immersion offered here :)

Really looking forwards to this. Meanwhile have been voraciously reading/viewing as much as I can- some really good stuff <sips an extra frothy cappucino while waiting near the ready tent>

Cheers, tots of rum ration all around

Thank you for the warm welcome :) Looking forwards to contributing :) The name 'Baldric' is from the BA Goes Forth series- a bunch of us decided to use that as our clan theme back in 2002 when we formed 1st Hussars, a Battlefield 1942 group thats stuck together since then and branched off into numerous other games and sims (the H20, Hussars 20 Minuters Sqd, was our tag in Il2 for MP coop play). I picked 'Baldric' because I fps fight/sim fly like I imagined Baldric would- and I am pants at it, but love it nonetheless... :)

Hi all, Just ordered CFS3 and OFF and am looking forwards to getting stuck in. Currently also playing RoF, IL2, and BoBII. Have heard a lot of good things about this sim and its community, and I love sim flying and immersive campaigns, so it was a natural. Looking forwards to having a lot of fun! Thanks =) Cheers, Balders (aka Leaf85 on SimHQ)
