S! All,

On my part, I just want to say that I may pass on this new Flanders...
And this is not because the missions are not fun (same for this great WW1 event)... but I have a very hard problem flying over the mountains and trees that appears and disappear each time I change my view on this map.

Last time I made a run with Butzzell, I had to stop after a few minutes because of those trees... even if my game settings are Max out for visuals.
I'm not asking any changes, since I know that Butzzell work very hard on this new Flanders... but It was important to explain my no play on this one.

Cheers,
GenMarkof

You might try  set the visibility of forests to "Very Far"  supposedly  "Maximum" is the problem.

Yes the very early plane set is a bit unbalanced. The Roland is a little OP compared to the other planes. We really need an early Rumpler or Albatross 2 seater.

The S-22 and Gotha are optional planes. The real bombers are RE 8 and Hlab Cl 2 for phase B.

I would not agree with this statement . The Gotha is still the main bomber for the Central Powers . Meanwhile the role of the S-22 for the Entente is completely minimized .

[Butzzell]

S!

I was surprised to see people flying the S-22 and the Gotha. The videos and streams were very exciting. The S-22 was included because it is the Russian map and it can survive against the early planes if escorted.

My judgement may be clouded by my personal experience. I find all the large bombers very easy to shoot down. While I like flying the big bombers, many of our targets are very small and some are moving. Not ideal for high altitude bombing. That is why the largest number of bombers available was 10 FE 2B for Entente and only 8 Roland Cl2 for Central. The Roland is faster and a bit OP for the plane set. Lower numbers combined with a lower bomb load was an attempt to even things out. 

I would suggest however that the replacement for the S-22 would be the HP- 400

That's great news, @=GenMarkof007=!

Glad I could help. I hope my team won't lose because I resurrected an ACE

S! All

 

Ready to start Phase B.  Plane set has been updated. A minor change from the original set. The S-22 has been dropped and replaced by the HP-400.

Blue team is Central and Red team is Entente.

Please remember that NO weapons mods are allowed. 

Plane mods such as wing cut outs are allowed.

 

Many thanks to 1PL-Husar_1Esk for the suggestion that changing the forest distance from "Maximum" to "Very Far" to eliminate the forest from flashing in and out.

Update:

 

The HP 400  is an air spawn at 3000 m.  Maximum fuel load is 20%.  More fuel than that and the plane is unstable.

 

The Gotha  is an air spawn at 3000 m.  Maximum fuel load is 30%.  More fuel than that and the plane is unstable.

S! All

 

Update on Phase B session 2.  

 

Rule :

"The bombing of Icon targets may only be performed by two-seater aircraft that have been designated as a "bomber". Bombers may drop ordinance on any ground target. This includes factories, shops, bridges, ships, supply convoys, supply trains and special airfields to attack."

 

Red team used an arty spot plane and not a bomber to bomb the factory. The factory mission has been removed from Red team score.

[Butzzell]

S! All

We are heading into the final two sessions. We will be switching sides. Blue team will be Entente and red team will be Central.

[Klaiber]

All,

Please note that 13 March 2021 is the last FIF mission run on Standard Time.

20 March 2021 will be run on Daylight Time - 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC.

 

[Butzzell]

This week is the final session for this series. 

 Due to time changes it will be run on Daylight Time - 2PM EDT / 6PM UTC.

Good luck to all.

[1PL-KJ]

It was a fine event congrats to all...and now lets collect the medals and have a Schnaps S!

[Klaiber]

Great job, @1PL-KJ!  All of the Blue Team was really outstanding in the air.

[J5_Hotlead]

Salute to our Blue team adversaries on their victory and to my Red team teammates for some amazing flights! Regardless of side, I’m sure we’d all agree that we couldn’t ask for better friends/fellow enthusiasts.

[Butzzell]

S! All

 

Big CONGRATZ to Blue team. Good job.

S!

I would like to thank the JG1 for hosting the tournament and introducing a very interesting plane set and the winter map. It was very challenging and difficult one! Anyways, it was great to see so many pilots online and lots of great dogfights took place.

Thank you for keeping the WW1 community together, Butzzell and Klaiber. And, again, it was a great honor to participate in the FiF - perhaps the longest ever hosted sim tournament.

Hi,
did someone record the initial phase of the last FiF session in RoF. I would like to have the 'tracks' files. Can someone help?
Salute!

[Klaiber]

Hi @J99*Himmelhund, I think @Tailmange streamed most of his flights.

Also, a few within Adler Legion did.  Specifically, @Tovarisch_Mauser:

As for tracks, I'm not sure.

[J99*Himmelhund]

Hi,
I've seen the streamed videos. They don't help me because I would like to find our flight with the Gotha. This only works with the 'Tracks' from the RoF/data/Tracks - directory!

[Klaiber]

Sorry I wasn't able to help!  I hope you're able to find what you're looking for.
