1: Taking on a lone French Nieuport in a 1-1 dogfight and shooting him down



2. Caught by two Pups at low altitude and managed to escape



Both of these are from the same mission, Albatros DIII early, with the stock FM

I'll watch them tonight, when I have the peace for it.
I would be VERY curious how you find the stock Albatros D.V FM -
any plans of trying that version out soon, MeneMene?

I really like the Texting - the Description of what is happening and how you react on that. Without that, one often gets the Impression of watching a Stunt-Movie. We should generally do that more often, when we want to show something...

Excellent stuff MeneMene. I think this is exactly what the Devs intended (IMHO). Requiring the use of different tactics in different aircraft in order to survive and claim victories. I don't even begin to pretend to know what the FMs should be for each aircraft. I just like that you have to fly them differently in order to match their strengths against your opponents weaknesses.

As Nietzche said, the text adds much.

When I'm down low I like to drag the fight over a friendly army base or friendly airfield to give them other worries.

Very Good videos, and like the other have said, the text adds a lot

Is it possible to show an out side view as well? I have often thought it would be good to look from the first person view then a look from distance so you could get a better idea of what the aircraft was doing.

I've thought the same, but have no clue on how to do so while staying in the cockpit during the game.

I've watched some AI dogfights from use of the "J" key. Gave me a good insight to how they fly that I wouldn't otherwise have seen.

Bad idea (in the second) to engage with two enemy who can out-turn you at the same altitude. Go for altitude first and make them follow, then boom-and-zoom.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

Well, for the making of a video with some change, it is possible, if you press "Pause",
change from cockpit view to outside view, and continue. Kills the immersion during an
air combat quite a bit, but your video would have more variety.

Yeah, I misjudged how close they were and thought I needed to turn and face to deny the shot. Probably had a bit of time to climb first. You can see that I tried to gain altitude after the first head-on pass, but didn't quite have enough energy.
