J5_Hotlead Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Sweet! If I ever flew a plane for real, that would be what I'd want to fly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 God, he must be a pro. How did he keep it out of a spin all that time? IRFC Hawkeye and Klaiber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRFC Hawkeye Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 First thought was "he didn't buy the guage pack?" Notice he did have the water temp thermometer, though? Remember RoF before they even HAD extra equipment? I never could figure out how they expected you to regulate the temp properly, that way, especially with no physical feedback from the airplane in a computer sim. The magazine for the left gun didn't look like ours, did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotermann Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 That was bad ass. I think he's a recent graduate of the BlackFalcon school of aeronautics which would explain why going into a spin was never an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magazine for the left gun didn't look like ours, did it? There was one plane that did not have a compass.... I think it was a Nieuport. Some did not have altimeters, I guess it took a little while to see what was really needed and what wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuka Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 S! Here is the info bird which we are talking about: http://www.fofcollection.com/aircraft/wwi/albatros-d-va/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonrd Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Lotsa oil on the windscreen even after a few minutes. Even a few blobs on his goggles. Maybe the oil modeling in the game actually is correct (perhaps a bit dark in the game though) it really does mess your vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I always thought it was fairly accurate but I wish you could hide under the windscreen to avoid it getting on your goggles. And it never really appears on the windscreen itself either. J5_Hotlead and Stuka 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
