I have only flown a few quick combat missions, but the 2.08 DM almost does as much for combat as 2.06 did for graphics. I really enjoy the balance they struck. I've gotten a few "smokers", which I love!
Great update. I like the added visual damage effects.
Well, after looking at some of the files, I'll still be changing some of the probabilities and bullet damage to make it harder to shoot down two seaters.

I must say that after the last add on, if it all stopped there, I would be a happy camper. All one has to do is view a OFF video to realize just how far you have taken this sim In a relatively short time. I have only sampled a few of the new goodies in the latest patch. Thank you to OBD for always making a great sim better.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end. BOC Member since....I can't remember!

Yikes! Did you see my latest video?!? Or, almost any of my videos, for that matter? Two seaters ( sweaters, *snicker*) don't need any help!
The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...

I have no doubt that your right. In fact, I often get shreded by two seaters myself even on low accuracy setting. But what I was referring to was actually the AI vs AI. In some of the encounters, the scouts have no problems shooting down two seaters and destroying a whole squad of them without breaking a sweat. So, what I am trying to do is strike a nice balance where the AI also gets shreded if they don't approach two-seaters with caution. At the same time, I don't want to completely wipe out an entire squad of fighters that insist to go after two-seaters. So, what "should" happen is that the AI will recieve enough damage from the two-seater and still be able to break off the attack and run away.
How I intend to do it is to make fuel tank hits less common and thus reduce the chance to get either fuel leaks or flamers from a few bursts. Also, I will reduce the chances to hit the pilot, so no sniper effect. At the same time, I will reduce the bullet damage which will make all of the above possible.

Wow, just got everything up and running! Very nice with the new damage effects and the N27 sight is extremely helpful! Here's a little QC... not the best but I only had time to run one before bed...
Excellent work, OBD!

Just ran four missions with No. 54 in DEC 1916. Big improvement in fps in time accel. I was getting a slow slide-show that was listed as 2fps but was slower with 2.05 and before. Now I get 21 fps if I am far enough from the front and 5-8 near the front.
I have the very light air activity checked but I did not see this improvement with 2.06 but maybe it has something to do with the date {I was flying APR-JUL 1917 then}.
Also the DM seems much better. Used half my ammo on a Halb DIII. He was trailing dark smoke.
Great Job!!

Wow, Hellshade, all kinds of good stuff there! Attacking a flight of Rolands is like kicking a hornet's nest! That engine whine is a cool effect and that scream was pretty blood curdling!
