Duke, If you do run across a young person who is looking to make some extra change, let me know. All the ones I have tried to work on the Ranch think you can work with one hand because the other hand has to always have a cell phone in it!

Hehe. If they were checking the forums here would it be cool then?

Well, in that case I guess I could cut them some slack. I know, I have seen me do it!

S!

Just as an FYI, I rarely see any other planes in September 1916. In my current Jasta 2 campaign I'm about ten missions in and have seen one Nieuport, which I shot down. That's it. Including the planes we're supposed to escort. Sometimes after several such flights I just get more determined to find the enemies, and other times I whine to Hasse and Olham and fly other sims for a while. Options and variety help with stagnation. Tonight, though, I'm back in the Alb DI and looking for a BE2. Preferably damaged with a wounded or dead gunner. I admit it. I don't fly WOFF to let 'em go or be shot down myself.

Well, I'm sorry, Jim - guess I had the earlier patrols and left nothing for you. Sorry for that!

[oops - posted to wrong thread]

That's okay, my Alb is warming up and I'm putting on my flight gear now. Soon:

Apart from luck and the zillion other factors maybe it's also possible that a particular squad in a particular time may not see so many enemies because although we have over 60 aircraft with all packs etc, we still obviously by a fair way do not have every aircraft for every squad, nor every squad in WOFF yet.

So sometimes there are times when a craft will be unavailable and that squad won't be flying. That squad could be one near you. One day, one day, we might have all squads and all aircraft that ever lived in there, but right now we don't. It's a simulation and a mighty fine one but there are bound to be the odd area that needs more, and more.


Could also be a problem, or as I say could be luck or if you play full real you miss em etc, but until the day it's perfect we plod onwards.

Maybe just move the date on, or choose another squad / time from the many thousands of variations available.

Mmuahahahahaaa!!1

Thanks for the great Albatros D.I picture! Jasta 2, I guess?

I can understand why people use the time compression. I just don't enjoy it.
Didn't intend to put down pilots who use it.

Yes, and I like it this way.

When flying in heavy clouds the TAC will often show no planes at all, regardless of how many are within the selected range. In fact, it often won't even show the planes in your own flight, even though you can see them from your cockpit.

Ja! That's Alb DI 390/16, flown by Walter Höhne (hence the "Hö" on the fuselage).

Alas, didn't see any Tommies in last night's mission. Going up again tonight!
