Previously I bought Albatros DII and Sopwith Camel.
I don't know which one to buy. S.E.5a, Sopwith Pup, Fokker Dr.I

The S.E.5a seems it has poor visibility to shoot.


Advice please...

The SE5a has very good visibility.

The only thing I don't like of the SE5a is that glass wind screen. The pup maybe slower but seems to have better visibility for aiming.

I'd say Dr.1/SE5a, and then the Pup. The first two are a hard choice... both.
Nothing against the Pup either, but the first two just seem more predominant, if that makes any sense.

Booo, SE5a is best!

The windshield is too dark but you get used to it, definitely get the SE5a next.

Yeah, you really need the Dr1 and SE5a. Get them next. Pups good as well.

Fair enough, I agree that the SE5a windscreen is a bit of a pita.

I'm curious as to what GPU's are being used by people who have an SE-5 windscreen thats "too dark".

I'm currently running an AMD/ATI 5970 with everything maxed in the sim and the windscreen in my trusty SE-5 doesn't look ANYWHERE near that dark-in fact, there's hardly any difference when looking through or around the windscreen.

Are there folks here running both ATI and Nvidia that have this issue?
