Creaghorn, is Daniel flying out of Pierrefonds? That's where my DID pilot Abner is stationed with the Esc. Lafayette. It's a real fun place to land.

No, it's Roray somewhere northeast of Paris. Also in a forest and close to the woods at Compiegne. There are some valleys with woods directly in front of the landing path. It's soemwhat tricky to land, but not as awful as in Pierrefonds.

Creaghorn, please tell me your secret because I want to also do it...

How did you play to be able to fly for over 450 hours (& 334 missions) in only 6 months?

March 1, 1916 to October 5, 1918 is 2 years and 7 months in only 6 real world months...

His entlistment date was march 1916, but his first mission was early September 1916, to simulate his training days.
Usually, when I fly, I fly with about 4x time accel, sometimes 8x, depending on how fluidly everything is. After takeoff the circling and gaining height sequence I usually do with autopilot and 16x. Then I take over with mostly 4x. That way I can still scan the skies, but it takes less time. In the patrolling area mostly I'm doing it in normal time, or as soon as I spot something or similar, I go back to normal time. It's especially easier since he is leading the flights. Before that it was rather tricky to stay in formation so that was in real time. Only thing I have to be careful, besides scanning the skies, is to listen to the engine. If the engine goes south I go out of accel immediately to prevent it from burning, because there is no way back if he should die. That way I can make 1-4 sorties each session, depending how much time I have or how tired etc. For me it works good that way. HTH

Got it. Thanks.

Pity what happened to Danny’s photos. Adding insult to injury after Dennis died.
I love the intro to part 40, when Danny transferred and the ending. Shots like that add atmosphere.

Always good stuff Creaghorn. Enjoying the series!

So I guess the series is about complete then?

Thank you, MFair

No, not complete, yet. There is one day left of war and the final episode is in the hole. I hope you like it, AceofPengwins

nice! I did see that there was one day left.

Final episode of the Brasco series. The journey has ended.
Including a nod to one of the best members the forum here ever had. Those who know will recognize it.

I hope you like it.

Creaghorn, that was wonderful. I've watched every one of these and I don't think you could've ended it any better. Now, what are you going to do next?

Thank you Banjoman.

I had previously long living campaigns but this was the first time I made it through to the end. The only staged episodes have been the trip to London, the episode as flight-instructor and the very last flight with Paul Ritter von Blum. All other episodes could easily have been his last. What happened, happened with outcomes set to normal, so I'm really glad I made it through and even more so that it's wrapped in a story and footage where people, who were interested, could follow this campaign. What doing next? Phew, I don't know. Maybe a Brit or German campaign. But I doubt that I'm doing such a series any time soon again. Sort of mentally exhausted regarding serious campaigns at the moment. Thanks for all who were interested

Creaghorn, that was the best youtube video I have ever seen and let me explain why. It managed to stir something inside me like a good book would. I can relate to a lot of themes that are covered inside your video. The writing style meshed very nicely with the video's message. I enjoyed both parts where you playfully teased the German and the ending with the son... to me, it was a very poignant story. Then you end it full circle back to WOFF. Nice composition.

Comparing your videos to mine, I could never write like that, but I know how you made those superimposed images (really cool) and I could do that part, too. I can also accomplish other video effects, but the most important part is missing.... the narrative. And without that important piece which you have, the videos become forgetful. That's why I gave up on my previous series, because there was no narrative to tie the events together.

Oh well, I will miss Daniel's stories and hope that you eventually return to the series. In fact, I'm willing to offer my help with video effects and editing if you ever decide to return.

That's a heck of a compliment. Thank's a lot OldHat.
You shouldn't give up with your vids. I enjoyed all of them you have made.

What a great compliment. Take a look at the comment here:

This is what made all the effort worth it. Thank you Rob
