I would like to see the "Transfer" menu updated to include all squadrons in all theaters. Currently a pilot in RNAS 3 cannot transfer to Home Defense

Hear! Hear! It also seems to be impossible to transfer into 56 squad when they are in England from the continent, that "region" isn't selectable...

Also, here's some more evidence for not having winter patrols start before 0700 hours:

To make matters worse, it then started to rain...

I would love to be able to signal the flight leader when I've spotted something. I just flew two missions where I saw the enemy but the flight leader never saw them. I know they didn't have radios but they did have flares and they could waggle their wings. We have key commands when we are the flight leader, why not for when we are members of a flight.

Yikes......50+ pages, I had no idea....may as well add my drop to the ocean. Flying '18 often reduces my pretty top rig to tears....it runs 44+ in other years and a solid 60 in QC with a heap of aircraft spinning around.....but flying Rick's latest challenge in June 18 I'm a slide show at times.......landing @ 5fps is more dangerous than a dozen DVIIs. I understand that the game engine in WOFF tracks ALL aircraft in the theater, not just those in sight, which could be hundreds perhaps? The whole business of spawning in which flights just popped into sight I was glad to see go away.....is there any way to reduce the "ring" of aircraft, vehicles, etc that the game has to track? I expect the answer is no as you'd be back to spawning around the player but the landscape builds in such rings.......I don't know...the inner mechanics of WOFF are a mystery to me. Love to see my FPS back w/out losing the high settings that make the game look so spectacular.

NEVER MIND!!!! I'm such a tool, I'd completely overlooked/forgotten the regional air activity box.....devs have already handled it....sorry

Historically moving to HE (Home Establishment) was only done to experienced pilots who might be suffering from 'burn out'. Lots of them didn't like it because they ended up as instructors in an era when instructing was a matter of trial and error - mostly error. RAF_lou managed to get to HD somehow. Maybe he could tell how he did it?

McCudden had been on HE and was killed in a crash on his return, so it did happen to some. Often squadrons were formed in England before they went to France. Barker was about to take command of a Snipe squadron when he had his famous combat. And some whole squadrons were transfered there in 1917 when the Zeppelin/Gotha scare was on. Soooo... get onto a squadron that is historically transferred back for Home Defence at that time. 43? 56? One would have to look it up.

Also the RNAS was responsible for the coastal defence of England at that time - mainly with flying boats. I don't think there was any posting from the RNAS to the RFC and v.v. until they were both merged into the RAF.

Lou explained to me he had to create a new pilot to get to HD and then manually keep tab of the stats for the DiD. Somewhat of a pain I'm sure.

A much higher detailed in-game map that takes the work of Nibbio but puts game developer time and effort into it.Nibbio wrote that he burned out and so he did not finish the rail lines so.

Map setting that shows waypoints but not the plane on map.

1. J key "observer view" - replace joystick movement with "WASD" keys. Also, the the ability to snap to player's plane position with one key press.

2. High resolution front, trench lines, coast and landscape texture settings - no low res blurry tiles.

3. A few scattered cars and trucks with headlights / houses and buildings with light through windows / lighted streetlamps from sunset to sunrise.

4. More night bombing missions for british units that were performing them like No. 25 Sqn RFC. Oh! and the DH4 included in your next expansion pack.... biggrin

It was probably asked before, and maybe it is not possible with the game engine, but balloons that get winched down would be great! Also, with that, a slight modification of the claiming system for them. At the moment I have something like half of my balloon claims that are rejected (even with correct witnesses, wich sometimes confirm a first balloon, but reject the second which was set alight only a few minutes after), AFAIK, one of the reason that put some pilots into balloon hunting was that they were easily confirmed by ground troops, balloon observers, etc...

Also, maybe that can be modded (if yes, any hint will be appreciated), but in my 1918 career, I found two-seaters in large formations of 5, something like 90% of the time, the rest in formation of 3, and I have never found one of them alone.
These large formations could be found, I think, during bombing mission supporting offensives, but I doubt two seaters squadrons launched 5 or 6 planes together for an artillery spotting. Maybe it is possible to reverse proportions? Most of the two seaters operating alone or in small group (3 max), with sometimes some larger groups?

Thanks.

if this is possible.....

Moving camps and balloons.

2-seaters have magnified unobstructed view for surveillance which also has an attitude indicator onscreen.

2-seater missions where you are sent to an area and then you must locate the position of the enemy.

Game engine ability to target a large amount of spots on ground that surround the actual targets.

Press TAB until you highlight the new enemy position.

Enemy and friendly camp tents have their sides markings.

With trees or ground spots around the actual target target able,you have to keep clicking until your target is acquired and then watch as the bombing switches over to new target location.

Are you jokin'? bump I'm talkin' about the late war Fokker parasol monoplane wich was known as EV in "internal factory listings" (not the EI/II/III/IV Fokker scourge) I suppose you are not drank yet,so you are probably joking :-)

No, not joking. I'm talking about the late war Fokker parasol which was known as EV, not the Fokkerscourge. It is already included in WOFF

Yep that was introduced back in the OFF days. I even did a Ernst Udet "What If" skin for it.
