It would be neat. But is there enough detail and variety to navigate accurately?

Heh...funny I just saw Hell's Angels this evening. I came away with the same thoughts about the D7's agility. But I kept telling myself, "well its just a movie." But to me Phase2 seems to be very sluggish in comparison to FEG. I have no allegiance to any sim. But I am curious. Before I plunk down money for Phase 3 I wanted to try Phase 2. Seeing the lowly AI in Phase2 scares me. Although I hear its greatly improved in Phase 3. But in FEG I like the AI. I just wish it had a great campaign.

Hi all, Being new to WW1 aviation I'm finding it really fun. FEG has been great. But I also tried out the free version of RB3D and OFF Phase 2. I've noticed that in OFF in particular the planes are sooooo sluggish compared to FEG(Peter01's FM's). In OFF it feels as if I'm flying a brick....in particular the SPAD XIII. So how do we know which sim comes closer to what it was like? Were the planes really as maneuverable in real life as they seem in FEG? ...or were they closer to OFF and RB3D(Hells Angels)? Just curious as I'm trying to learn. Thanx for your help.

Well I tried the HUDDATA.INI. Not being an INI expert I couldn't get it to work. I changed the font size as well. But all I could do was make the lower left font smaller. But that's not a problem cuz it disappears when I ALT-D. But even with ALT-D it still gives me the target identification. Oh well. I also tried using SNAP views and no padlock. But I didn't like the views and can't zoom in while using a SNAP VIEW. Hmmmmmm....I don't mind panning I guess if it wasn't so slow to pan. I like the panning in BOB2....to me that was just right.

Yeah I'm thinking 'bout not using padlock either. Thanx for the help. I'll give it a shot.

Any ideas at all? Thanx again.

Hi all, I've done everything I could. I've got the HUD set to hard as well as the Visual Targeting. I hit Alt-D twice and nothings on screen .... I've also disabled the map icons. That's cool...great. Until I select a target. Then at the bottom center of the screen it shows the target identity "Fokker, SPAD, etc". How do I get it to NOT show any identifying text on screen? I want to be able to just find targets and move in closer or zoom in to identify. Thanx for your help.

Cool. Thanx for the ideas. I'll give them a try.

Thanx. Is there a reason why the gunsights were made this way?

Hi all, New to First Eagles and WW1 in general. I'm having the most difficult time hitting anything in the Fokker, and the Albatros. I mean I really suck. I see two gunsights ...but no centralized gunsight. I try to aim with the closest thing to a central gunsight.....some reference point in the middle. But I can't hit a thing. Any help is appreciated. Thanx.

Yeah that's what I did. It seems to work just fine. My only problem is my framerate dropped a little bit with the NF+ mod...I guess because of the terrain?

Hi, I purchased the combo pack recently. It is indeed patched to the Dec. 2009 update. I've also installed the NF4+ mod, which seems to be working fine. But again I'm new to all this. Hope this helps a little.

Thanx L.T. :) I'm also trying to figure out what would be a good plane to start with. I've got the combo pack so am loaded with planes at the moment. I like ground pounding mostly...but don't mind mixing it up in ACM either. But you see... "Ironhand's my thing"...HAHAHAHAHA. I always wanted to say that. I think I'll start in Vietnam. Any suggestions for a good plane to start with? ...other than the awesome Phantom of course. :)

Yeah, you're right. I guess I'm just a bit too eager right now. Thanx for the suggestion.

Hi all, I've got how to change "text" details on screen using Alt-D, and also setting the Visual Targeting, and HUD to Hard/Normal depending on what I want to do. However, there are times where I just can't seem to find out information such as how I've got my flaps, radar range ECM,, etc set at. I don't see an instrument in some of the planes to give me that info. So I'd like to ONLY SEE that type of info. I do not want targeting information such as type of enemy plane, and their particulars. I want to have to identify targets the old fashioned way. :) Is there a way to set exactly what text info is displayed on the screen? Thanx for your help. Saint19
