Hi GV,

Have you downloaded the Dux-manufactured Nieuport 17 for the sim?

If you have, could you link some screenshots of it, cockpit views included, I'm really wanting to see how it looks!

PS. I can host the screenshots if need be, and I'll forward you my e-mail address via PM if you do.

Thanks Bud!

Hey, the poor fellow has a big exam coming up this week... If he doesn't get around to posting screenies we should have some understanding for that... smile

Due to some server bugs N.17 is not unlocked yet. Devs said they're working on it and it should become available today. So far I can only see it in hangar.

Exam comes next week, but up yet to finish my final paper.

Anyway... take that!

Marvellous! Thanks so much Gr. Viper. You are feeding our addiction nicely. Look after yourself first though.
One question: is it fun?

Main fun comes from flying. Takeoff isn't just setting throttle to full - you have to balance the plane with rudder and stick. And sweat profusely. As my helo trainer told me, when I was learning how to hover, "If you sweat - you learn something".
I accidentially flew with closed radiator on SPAD... after some time the engine suddeny jerked and stopped. Jammed, I suppose. I was about 50m over some trees and in a turn so I crashed instantly. SPAD can also carry a couple of bombs in an internal bay - they nicely fall on the ground with a thud and detonate after a few seconds.

BTW, Fokker is a cheat to fly on hardcore settings. It has auto mixture built in. On SPAD mixture setting is manual. Not that you have to touch it a lot if you don't change altitude, but still Germans have it easier.

Thanks a lot for the reply. A helo pilot - terrifying! I've done two flights in a fixed wing recently and saw a guy learning to fly a helicopter and just thought "No". That is not something I need to do. I can well imagine it is a sweat inducing process.

GAME
=============================
I've been thinking up bunch of questions. If you can answer ANY of them at all that'd be really great but *PLEASE don't feel you need to*.

1. Just out of interest, what kind of specs are you running on and does the game seem to run smoothly enough?

2. Love that shot of the Spad flying downtown. Such great detail on the buildings, and the scale seems better than IL2. >Are they able to be destroyed?

3.In No Man's land are there any shell bursts or tanks charging about the place? If not, they can probably be placed by the mission builder I suppose.

4. Actually, is there any 'life' anywhere- debriefing, ground crew, trucks charging about the airfield, other flights in the air etc? I saw some clips of animated characters on some promo video I recall.

5. Does the weather/ time of day change?

6. Can you set storms/ lightning/ etc?

7.Is the ground in general land-on-able (it's in the Oxford dictionary, trust me) or is it like IL2 in which you bounce all over the place?

8. Let us know anything about campaigns.

10. Let us know anything about the mission editor (though I know that would take ages and not be that much fun when you can exploring the sexy new world of WWI flying and fighting).

11. Does the AI screw up and wing into the ground or stall out?

12. Can you control your AI team mates?

13. Are there any big towns? If so, do they have distinctive landmarks or other features? do they kill frame-rates?

14. What's the viewable distance like for aircraft and objects?

15. Are aircraft ever 'invisible' at closer ranges or do they smoothly expand and contract depending on the distance?(if you play IL2 you will know that some planes seem to almost disappear at about 500m, especially against the ground)

16. Do balloons burn beautifully? Do the observers bail or ride her into the ground?


Really sorry for all the questions but I'm dying to try this thing out for myself. Like I said, please don't feel obligated to answer anything at all.

Cheers,
FlatSpinMan

Questions :

- are there the high-definition skins in the screenshots or not ?
- On which definition level is here the landscape ?
- What about AA settings ?

Thanks for the info.


P.S Possible to have also some captures with different variants of overcast and grey skies, at flight hours ?

All settings set to high apart from medium terrain textures. Bloom set to off. No AA set up. At the moment AA doesn't work with any of the post effects.

N.17 enabled. Touched the ground with a wing during takeoff - immedaitely broke a strut. Could fly more or less OK, but when I pulled on the stick IT happened.

How did the wing come off? Pulled to hard on the broken strut?

Simply pulled too hard. Not very hard... First the lower wing came off, then I went into a spin and the top one got ripped away.

Eh, in the screenshot of the forward view from the D.VII towards the forest, the plane itself is BLURRED! - What's that all about?!

Optional Depth of Field effect. When it is on, looking at scenery makes the plane blurred, studying cockpit blurs scenery, and looking at wings might give a bit of both worlds. The funniest result is that you can't focus both on gunsight and the target.

Viper, how does the view get affected if the plane is leaking oil/fuel?

Is it a splash decal like in IL2?
