Of course , you are correct, not everyone is as picky as myself lol. The wings though, can they not be awarded in a similar fashion to a medal for instance ? so it shows up in your log book as an award, just throwing ideas around, and I know the wings issue, isn't actually an issue at all, rather it is just an immersion quality of life thing, I am also aware that some peeps do not do the training, so it is obviously not a huge priority. But, it would be nice to see it implemented. Please do not think I am being deliberately annoying, I am merely throwing my hat into the ring so to speak, and, without feedback, you as devs do not get a feel for the thoughts, wishes, and desires of the people who are keen to see this sim develop and grow. As I previously mentioned, I am aware of your limitations of time etc. as you are a small team, and let me say you have thus far done a sterling job on Woff in all its iterations !! It is just some things NEED to be in here, the bombsight for one, they were used, and developed, yes I know early war there wern't any really, however from '16 on, they were a thing. and by that premise, should be there, as not all of us are fighter jocks, and at least having a better chance of laying ones eggs in a generally accurate fashion is rather desirable. Ther was a 3rd party bomb sight developed for the last incarnation of WOFF, so the system is there, it just needs to be tweaked so it works in this version. I know I can be a pain in the arse , but if all of us piped up and made CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions to you guys, you could see what is more pressing and enable you to judge what and when you add new content etc. Keep up the great work, and please do not take my comments personally, as they are not meant in that manner .

As am I , if pilots do not make a little noise about the "missing" aircraft, and other stuff too, then it may be overlooked. As far as I know though the Dolphin is in sim isn't it ? Other essential aircraft would be the Voisins and the Albatros 2 seaters, Most of the important German aircraft are there already, but 2 seater Albatri is a must for Western front operations. Also it would be nice to have Belgian Escadrilles as well, and give us the lovely Hanriot .

No, they are aircraft that just aren't in sim yet, there is a Farman, F40, the Caudron G3, Morane Bullet, and others as well. those are just the French ones. it is a minor irritation I know, however there are types which should be in sim, which just are not. If we as the end users do not say anything, then nothing will be done/added so a gentle pressure on developers is a good thing, as long as it is respectful, and constructive. For another example....Why no bombsight ? why no pilots wings/badge earned after training ? why no Log editor, these are all things that should be in sim as default, and the work has already been done by 3rd party modders , they just need to be adjusted to fit the new iteration of the sim. I dont want people imagining I am just moaning or whinging, I am not, I am merely pointing out stuff that aint there that should be there. The devs no doubt will get annoyed with me. But sometimes a Devils Advocate is a good thing !!

War is random, doesn't matter how experienced, or good you are , eventually yer toast !! Richthhofen, a prime example, many factors also contribute to the outcome of a fight, technical problems, just having a shitty day, terrible hangover from that knees up in the mess last night, battle fatigue, overworked and under payed mechanics, bloody infantry taking pot shots at any aircraft that is unfortunate enough to fly over them ...Richthofen !! Yes of course if you have a superior machine, then you have an edge, as long as you go into the fight with a tactical advantage, if you get bounced by Snoopy in his dog house though whilst you are pootling around in the clouds minding your own business , then chances are you are buggered. So, the answer to your question is a resounding yup !!!

Well, touch wood, after a full uninstall, and a good scout around, I did find a few bits and bobs from my previous WOFF PE that hadn't been removed when I switched over to BH&H . so I am unsure as to whether that may have had some bearing on the problems I had yesterday. So, as I said I deleted everything I could find that was OBD related, including WOTR ( just in case) and re installed a fresh version , on my SSD this time as well, not on my HDD . of course that meant the pilots I had issues with yesterday were of course deleted. Anyhow, to get to the point, I re rolled a new pilot, and he has completed training, and has been posted to 1 RNAS , which although it is a fighter mob, as I am playing from 1915, they are of course flying BE's and Parasols, so they need observers, and much to my delight, the Squadron has a full complement of pilots and obervers !! .......Well at least they did, until after my very first mission 3 of the buggers piled in all on top of each other on the airfield whilst landing.....Hmmmmm....is this a problem ? dunno......anyhow all is working as it should compliment wise at least. I also think the Froggy pilot I had issues with yesterday had been posted to a squadron, where the correct aircraft are STILL not available YET this is a thing that you guys at OBD need to get on top of, I know it is a lot of work, and that you are a small team etc. However, these are aircraft that were "NOT AVAILABLE YET" in WOFF UE/PE so maybe it may just be an idea to develop these important and glaringly obvious by their absence aircraft ( The French trained in Farmans, the first allied ace flew a Morane Bullet, in fact he was the man behind the propellor deflector was he not ? ) . Just a little constructive critique there, I am not getting on your backs about it, however............ Anyhow, I shall try and make a Froggy cloud hopper tomorrow and see what happens. Hopefully nothing if todays efforts are anything to go by.

ok, I just wanted to make sure there was no problem with the overwrite message coming up. I have experienced such issues with Silent Hunter in the past, so I was a little leery.
-
Quick question if anyone see this , I have re downloaded and installed the above mods, in the correct order as per the readme . first query is, does one install Havrincourt wood, then Verdun forts, or is it one or the other ? second is, if I install either of these mods, if I then install the Consolidated Custom Airfields Mod. I get a conflict message........or am I not supposed to put either Havrincourt, or Forts in if I am using the Consolidated Custom Airfields Mod ? Or does the conflict not matter ?
-
Are you sure it isn't a vehicle convoy ? those have that sort of effect when you turn labels on.
-
Roger that, I am going to try something first before I send any files to you, as you say it may just be those particular escadrille/staffels........I shall send you the logs if is re occurs. so fingers crossed.
-
hahahaha.....I had thought this, must be the damned French and German chaps deciding that maybe having an idiot flying them around wasn't in their best interests !!
-
Because that defeats the object of having the pilot do training in the first place, sorry if it seems I am being awkward, but after spending a fair few hours training 2 , apparently, un usable pilots, the idea of having a "pretend trained" pilot is going to mess with my OCD hahahahaha. I shall send the info ASAP, am a little tied up with something else at the moment, so bear with me, and I will get it to you, as it is a definite issue, or a weird coincidence at the very least !!! I am looking forward to more content as and when you guys can get it sorted, there are a fair few glaring omissions from the Sim as it stands, and any DLC you release can only improve what is ( barring the obvious glitches such as this one ) a superb simulation of WWI ..........I have many suggestions if you want them lol....ok...shutting up now lol lol lol
-
Hmmmm......not going to do an un trained pilot, I just cannot do that, so I shall await your fix for this ......also I only have the one pilot now, as I deleted the German pilot in disgust last night. This issue has only occurred since the last patch, so maybe that is having something to do with it ? Which brings me to another point, surely when we train a pilot, such as the training is, they should be awarded wings, or whatever the nation has for their trained aviators !!!
-
Ok I thought this was the case, as I have only been flying in 1915 thus far, and I am using the 1914 setup at the moment, I wondered if this was the case , as the vid you posted showed a different airfield layout to the 1914 one. I have all 3 downloaded, so I will change over in 1917.....assuming I live that long of course lol
-
Nope doesnt want to play nice , it screws up the whole gunner and bombsight view . Oh well it was worth a try.
-
I do have one question though, does the 1914,1917.1918 differing mods just affect the static aircraft parked on the airfield, or is it everything ( not just the trees of course that bit is self explanatory ) hangars building etc.
-
Ohhhh TOUCHE !!!!!!....love it !!!
-
I shall indeed, gonna go test it later on mate !!!
-
Roger that, will do then. thanks for the reply.
-
Does the standing version of JGSME ( the one on Sandbaggers site that is ) still work with BH&H ? also does the bombsight mod work as well ?
-
It does, I was being cheeky
-
Yeah that video doesn't really show us anything, other than an Albatros cockpit.

CTRL + SHIFT + M

I think you will find the 2 seater Strutter could only carry 4 coopers on and underwing/fuselage rack, the single seater however had an internal bomb bay similar to the Martinsyde, with a heavier load capacity of 4x 65lbs

Observation: Logged landing aerodrome
Trotski replied to busdriver's topic in WOFF BH&H2 - General Discussion
Dunno I ended up on my nose so the prop at least would have been screwed, so maybe it was just a quick fix......it is what it is I guess -
As I said just would rather like the logbook editor and the bombsight mod. I am not surprised about the FM's at all as the flight models on a lot of the aircraft were adjusted for this new iteration. I just hope that OBD will add the glaringly obvious missing aeroplanes, Albatros 2 seaters and the likes of the Gunbus and the Morane Bullet ( Roland Garros did develop the deflector after all in a Morane)
