You are ... But I remind you the Pup had a 80 hp Le Rhône rotary engine.

Since nobody jumped in, I propose you a quicky : 8 - 90 - 7 - 150 - 13 - 220 Who is the man behind these numbers ? (name and explanation, please...) you have half an hour...

The only problem with dots is the same as the small icon in Rise of Flight (for which I use a mod making them smaller) : you can see them through your cockpit/wings. The good thing now is that you can decide yourself in Workshop at which distance you want to see them. (Off topic : when my canadian company is rich enough, I will also use a DC3, although the Twotter is also a possibility (specially with the Aerosoft Extended one...) for now I'm almost at 55% rep so I can hire a second pilot - I started in career mode with a C172)

I find personally the new "dots" feature to be a nice one, less intrusive than labels. Being curious, I sometimes have a short burst at labels to have a quick look at who is the pilot I'm fighting with. PS : I am also running two companies in Air Hauler, flying a Cessna Grand Caravan based in France and 2 Cessna 185F (1 amphibian and 1 toundra wheels) along the coast of Canada/Alaska based in Prince Rupert. (Flight reports on my blog hereunder)

No time until week end, so I think it's fair that either Lou or Von Baur pick it up as it is clear they knew it right away without having to research.

Just dropping by William Samuel Stephenson 12 victories After being shot down by Justus Grassman, he was captured and held as POW. October 1918 is when he managed to escape. During WW2 he was Head of British Intelligence for the Western Hemisphere (he had been running British Security Coordination in New York City one year before the war) ( 5 minutes research : list of Canadian Aces of WW1, which have been flying in 1918 with 73 squadron. I think we give too much information in our questions...)

Sorry guys very busy these days so if someone else wants to carry on, you're welcome... I won't have much freetime until the weekend.

I took the research the other way around, since we had been given the types of engines, I looked what planes had been fitted with the 60kw Le Rhône. Took me 10 mns to find the S4 Wiki page... I must confess I learned something because I never heard of this plane before ! I'm away tomorrow during the day and working the evening till midnight, so there will be a 24 hours break in the quiz !

Improves your opponents as well ! And I'm pretty sure there must be many RFC aces skins.

The first website has some interesting stuff, I remember watching a good one with Jasta 9 in operations.

If you have a look at the Pup, you can clearly see this Benjamin Thomas guy has been working with Sopwith.

Thomas-Morse S4 "Tommy" Designed by Benjamin D. Thomas (an englishman who worked before for Sopwith) Built by Thomas-Morse Aircraft in Bath, New York Used mainly as trainer by US Army and US Navy (a few were built with floats) Type B : 97 for the Army + 10 for the Navy Type C : 461 for the Army + 4 with floats for the Navy After the war many were sold to civilian flight schools

The Biff is a great plane, one of my favourites flying Rise of Flight, specially with a human gunner. Didn't try it in WOFF yet, but the time will come ...

Yes it is the Vickers as the standard MG on the Spad A4 was a Lewis or Madsen. The prop is situated in an unusual place but this belongs to the plane type. All good now, your turn !

It's a long way to Tipperary ...

Lou, you have everything right except what is special ( or unusual ) on this particular plane.

You could consider buying the skinpack, really improves the original !

I printed them and they are on my desk with the general key commands !

I am watching rugby this afternoon (Ireland-Italy and Scotland-France), don't have much time to make too much research, so we'll make it a simple one. I found something with skull and bones ! - What plane is this ? - This plane downed a german 2 seater in Sept 1916. What was special about this air victory ? - What is special to this particular plane ?

Sorry for mistyping, the plane is Armstrong-Whitworth FK8 and not Mk8. Not really a fighter...

My post was about flying the Roland C2 in RoF where you have windsocks showing the wind. You can also read the mission briefing !

The wingman commands have been totally changed, you should read about it ... Download the "Player Commands" pdf file from the Over Flanders Fields website

Think I found the man : Alan Arnette Mc Leod Two seater driver, flew the Armstrong-Whitworth MK8 with 2 Squadron near Hesdigneul. He soloed on his fifth day of in flight instruction with only 3 hours of experience of the Avro 504 Before that he flew 2 weeks the BE 12 "fighter" chasing Zeppelins at night over London. His first victory was a DR1 ( needed a confirmation from a balloon observer, noone would believe bombers attacked fighters ! ) Victoria Cross on March 27, 1918 : "His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to award the Victoria Cross to the undermentioned officer of the Royal Air Force, for services displaying outstanding bravery: 2nd Lieutenant Alan Arnett McLeod, Royal Air Force. While flying with his observer, Lieutenant A. W. Hammond, M.C., attacking hostile formations by bombs and machine gun fire, he was assailed at a height of 5,000 feet by eight enemy triplanes which dived at him from all directions, firing from their front guns. By skilful manoeuvring he enabled his observer to fire bursts at each machine in turn, shooting three of them down out of control. By this time Lieutenant McLeod had received five wounds, and while continuing the engagement a bullet penetrated his petrol tank and set the machine on fire. He then climbed out on to the left bottom plane, controlling his machine from the side of the fusilage, and by sideslipping steeply kept the flames to one side, thus enabling the observer to continue firing until the ground was reached. The observer had been wounded six times when the machine crashed in "No Man's Land" and 2nd Lieutenant McLeod, notwithstanding his own wounds, dragged him away from the burning wreckage at great personal risk from heavy machine-gun fire from the enemy's lines. This very gallant pilot was again wounded by a bomb whilst engaged in this act of rescue, but he persevered until he had placed Lieutenant Hammond in comparative safety, before falling himself from exhaustion and loss of blood." They had flown from the field of 43 squadron where they had to make a forced landing and repair their damaged landing gear while all other 2 squadron planes had gone home. Sadly he died at the age of 19 from spanish influenza while recuperating in Canada

Just realized I am wrong, he was born in Manitoba, but not in Stonewall .... searching again !

William Gordon Claxton 37 victories in 79 days N°41 Squadron flying SE5a First victory was a Fokker DR1 on May 27, 1918. DFC (Aug 3, 1918) : "Lt. William Gordon Claxton. This officer at all times shows fine courage and disregard of danger. He has accounted for six enemy aeroplanes and one kite balloon, three of the aeroplanes being destroyed and three driven down out of control. On a recent occasion, having destroyed a hostile balloon, he pursued an enemy scout ten miles and eventually drove it down; he was then attacked by five enemy triplanes and other scouts, but managed to return to our lines, though his machine was riddled with bullets." DFC - Bar "Lieut. William Gordon Claxton, D.F.C. This officer is conspicuous for his courage in attack. Recently in one day he destroyed six enemy aeroplanes—four in the morning and two in the evening. In thirteen days he accounted for fourteen machines. His utter disregard of danger inspires all who serve with him." DSO : "Lieut. William Gordon Claxton, D.F.C. Between 4 July and 12 August this officer destroyed ten enemy aeroplanes and one kite balloon, making in all thirty machines and one "kite balloon to his credit. Untiring in attack in the air or on the ground, this officer has rendered brilliant service." Didn't find anything on a VC in March, his first victory was in May ... Interesting to note his life was saved by a german doctor, after he crash landed in enemy lines in August 1918
