I am new to WWI Sims... heck, I am new to ALL flight sims, but I am excited to get going. I have played for a few weeks now in RoF and OFF (bought both the same day). My time is very limited, so I have focused on RoF and been definitely enjoying myself. I ordered TrackIR (will be here tomorrow). So, as you can guess, I am excited and devoted to start flying these early birds. First to the OFF team, thanks so much for this excellent sim. In going through the different forum posts, trying a few scenarios or campaign mode, or just jumping into a few quick scenerios... I can see the love and attention here. Great job! I am excited to fly some more! I have been enjoying RoF very much, but now I want to get into the detailed history, scenarios, and campaigns of OFF. Everything is fairly set and I mostly figured out controls and settings (still working on radiator and blip switch).
So, with that heavy intro, where the hell do I start? I am not a history buff, and don't know what I am selecting in campaign mode. Is there a good campaign to chew on? Should I do other missions first? Is there a good way to easily fly around and just figure things out (and die a lot without creating a character every time)? Is there a good beginners guide to get people like me started in the game? The information on the site and here in the forums are great with settings, hints, etc. But, there isn't much about how to play the game and especially how to get started (at least I can't find something suitable for my intellect ).
Any ideas for a beginner? Thanks for any suggestions!
