Raine, if that special place is locked away in a windowless room down in the cellar with a sign on the door that reads in bold letters "BEWARE THE NUTTER", then you're likely correct.
As for Havrincourt Wood, a.k.a. "old Mossy Face", what I've sorted out is that it will require, conservatively, eight separate facilities to create. Because it will be nearly all trees I am still in the process of seeing what impact such a mass will have on frame rates. I can of course keep the trees to a minimum and create ground textures that will give the familiar appearance of the landmark from the air, which would be the primary purpose of such a mod. Still, I'd like to 'plant' as many trees as possible while keeping performance at a playable level.

. Thanks Gents, my pleasure. Do let me know how it runs for you all and what kind of impact it has on your FPS and performance. By the way, have any of you yet to see the Sergeant's dog roaming about? .

Hi Lou FPS didn't seem to be affected at all - still hitting 60 FPS on my work station PC, which is less powerful than my gamer PC (see my signature). Haven't seen the dog yet but I'll keep my eyes peeled

Same here as well. I don't think there's much traffic/activity over England like there is at the front, so this MOD should be perfect for training... Good Show Lou!

My pleasure ArisFuser. And since you've offered, a pinta' red, and park two fingers of Tullamore Dew 15 right beside it if you'd be so kind.
Also, please let me know how this runs for you once you have it all plugged in.
Happy flights!

mbarbaric, I recommend you disable any other airfield mods before loading another as there will be shared files. If you don't disable the other mods what will eventually happen is that you will end up with some of the shared files no longer being able to revert to their originals. One mod will save what it thinks is an original file but in reality is a modded file that was installed by the earlier mod that is still activated.

You are very welcome. As for doing your training at Farnborough, for now you will have to run QCs and do training flights that way. At some point in the not-too-distant future OldHat will be providing a full series of training missions that will launch from Farnborough, (and many thanks again OldHat for coming up with and taking on this most excellent project). He asked last week for my input on what such a series should entail, historically speaking, and I provided him with the following outline to work from. For now, if you like, you could follow this same list as you run your QC missions.
WOFF UE RFC/RNAS Primary Training missions
The following should be performed in non-rotary aeroplanes, preferably the B.E.2 for dual control and the B.E.12 for solo:
At least three dual-control flights, all below 1,000’ and within sight of the field. Practice turns, take-offs, landings, and taxying around the field and up to the hangar.
At least 15 hours of solo flights. The first several flights should be 15 to 20 minutes in duration, below 3,000’, and within sight of the field. Further flights should be 1 to 2 hours in duration with altitudes up to 5,000’ and ranging farther afield.
At least one “high altitude” duration flight in which the student climbs his machine to around 7,000’, preferably more if possible, and maintains said altitude for an hour before landing.
At least 10 successful solo take-offs and landings.
At least one successful solo "emergency" landing somewhere other than an aerodrome.
At least one successful solo dead stick landing where the engine is shut off at an altitude of 1,500’ or more. Student must bring his machine to a stop within the chalk circle.
Student must complete a 3-hour, three leg, cross-country flight navigating with paper map and compass only. Student will land at each point along the way to refuel and receive a signature as proof of completion of leg.
At least one successful take-off and landing at night. Student must fly in a set direction away from the aerodrome until it is out of sight, then return.
Keep in mind that the only flight aids that should be used are cockpit instruments, landmarks, and paper maps. No tac screens, text messages, or in-sim maps should be used. This will require that the student stays within sight of the aerodrome until he becomes familiar with the surrounding landscape. This will minimize the likely possibility of the student becoming lost.
Once the above is successfully completed you could then have the student move to advanced training in an early rotary aeroplane, the Bristol Scout would be a good choice. This is when such things as loops, renversements, vrilles, virages, and spins would be learned and practiced.
Hope this helps.

JJJ65 will be the one to ask that question of. I'm betting it can be done with his ME, it's a pretty amazing piece of work.
