Hey guys, noobie here. Absolutely loving this game. I've abandoned Rise Of Flight to play OFF and I'm not missing it a bit. Kudos to the developers! Call me a heretic, but I think this is even better than RB3D. Haven't even bothered to buy the new Deus Ex game, and I've been waiting for that for years.
But I've run into a problem. I joined RFC 56 in mid April 1917 and after about 30 missions or so, I've yet to run into a enemy fighter. No joy even on the scramble missions. I have run into a few 2 seaters, but precious few of those even. I have the manager set to "Heavy Activity". I even adjusted the time manager so that I've only flown one mission a day. I've run a few other French and English campaigns during April 1917 and seem to have the same problem. Basically, I'm not seeing any German scouts during "Bloody April". Just the occasional flight of enemy 2 seaters.
If I start a campaign in 1918 the enemy fighters are present again (and how!!!). I've searched the FAQ and the forums and I know that enemy air is pretty realistic, in that they're not all that common, but even with my TAC on I'm seeing very few enemy craft. I reinstalled once and same thing (but the uninstall may not have been thorough, as I did not need to redo my controls). I'm runing Windows 7 64 bit on a beefy rig.
I guess the question is this: Is this situation normal for RFC 56 and other Allied squadrons in mid april? Or did I bork my install? I'm wondering if I didn't somehow screw up the enemy fighter spawn.
I would love to avoid a second, more thorough uninstall. The last time I messed with my registry, Chernobyl exploded. I don't think it was a coincidence.
I'm running the HPW FM mods and the HPW Damage mods, by the way. I uninstalled them for a go through but seemed to have the same problem.
Edit: I also have HITR installed. Everything is fully patched as far as I can tell.
