usually centered in somebody e...
Nice to see some new ones. Nice to see some more types make an appearance. new ones that I had not seen before were the Snipe, Fokker D.VII, N17, Gotha, HP, and N28.

The following comments are made with the full knowledge that a. it's still early and b. I am speculating without any real knowledge.

Hope the skins are modifyable. Just MHO but I really don't like the look of the skins as they are now. Not a big deal as long as they are editable.

Wild speculation follows: looks like this sim will center around mid 1917 to 1918. Why? The planes. Fokker DRI and DVII, Camel, Snipe, DH4, Halberstadt CLII, N28, etc. are all from this era. The earliest that I see are the N-17, SPAD VII, and Alb DV, and maybe the Gotha, but all of these served into 1917-1918 too. Hope they get the Pfalz D.III in there.


The lucky man is the man who leaves as little to chance as possible.

Agreed about the time period... I would speculate mid to late war judging by the aircraft types in the screenies.

Regarding the skins, they do look a bit "fresh" but I do like the factory details. Just need a bit of weathering! \:D

The sky, clouds, and sun effects look nice.

I wonder if the clouds are 3D or mats.........hard to tell by the screenshots?

Nice sun glare!!!

I noticed that. Different types of artillery and machine guns too. Very cool. I hope that they model a couple of types for each side, though it wouldn't be a huge deal. I also noticed that some artillery is well embedded in the trenches, and some is out in the open field. Will this mean moving front lines?

The screenshot of the mission was also interesting. One pilot had grenades as part of his armament. It also looks like various aerodromes are marked differently. Terrain is also marked out on that map.

All in all some very interesting stuff!

"The Snipe was ordered into pre-production at the beginning of 1918. Only about 200 were produced before the war's end and fewer than 100 actually reached France. They did arrive in time to equip three RFC squadrons. In operational use the fighter showed itself to be extremely maneuverable and tough, with an excellent rate of climb."

Well, if we're gonna allow experimental aircraft, which is what the Snipe was, then there should be no arguement with allowing the german rotaries.

Maybe they just haven't worked on those yet. Think I saw one screenshot with a few tiny darker grey clouds looking similar to SDOE 3D clouds.

I like the close-up of the Handley-Page and crew. Nice to see the gunners turning to face their target. I'm really looking forward to being a gunner!

Some real clouds would be nice. Perhaps some screenshots of an aircraft flying through them? \:\)

Don't forget the earlier interviews. They said there would be a game that is open ended. So if it goes beyond 11/11/18, expect Snipes to replace Camels.

But will they taste the same? Or better? What will Joe Camel say?

On 27 October 1918, Canadian ace William Barker made the Sopwith Snipe famous in a single-handed battle with more than 60 enemy aircraft that earned him the Victoria Cross.

With 7 confirmed victories, Australian Elwyn King scored more victories with the Snipe than any other ace.

Not too shabby for an experimental aircraft.

Salute Everyone!
Can anyone see a Camel in the pictures.
It wouldn`t be the same without the Camel And DR1 both in the game. But my favorite is the N28 which will be enough for me, plus that heavy bomber. HOOOO RAAAA!
Can`t wait to see all you fliers this fall when this game comes out.
US95 Kicking Mules have officially opened up there squad to take recruits for this up coming flight simm. If you join now you can get in on some WW1 practice flying RB3D till this KOE is out. Plus we fly IL2 FB to for any WW2 fliers!
Its always funnier to fly with PALS
Come check out are website. You can sign up there!
We are one of the oldest RB3D Squads around.
We welcome all fliers from Roockies to OLD Veterans like my self.

The Snipe.
Designed as an improved Camel with better performance and visibility from the cockpit.
6 prototypes ordered in autumn 1917 and after modifications went into production in spring 1918.
Initial contracts were for 1700 Snipes. Due to serious industrial action by the workers, the Snipe was badly delayed. By 30th September 160 Snipes had been delivered and became operational with 43 sqdrn RAF that month, with 208 sqdrn RAF and 4 sdrn RAFC in October. The RN had 2 on 31st October, by which point the RAF had taken delivery of a further 97.
(Munson World Aircraft - Fighters 1914 - 1919 Blandford Press ISBN 0 7137 0483 7)

Hardly experimental, just badly delayed.
Presumably if the word "Experimental" is the crucial one here then we have to lose the BEs, REs and SEs from the inventory too.

If the September date is too late to meet the cutoff then we can also wave goodbye to the Fok DVIII among others.

A Hp 400! Glad to see heavy bombers are on the way. I'll have to seset my internet cache now and then since it seems to revert to older thumbnails.

I like the development shots of the HP. From the looks of it that is 3d Studio Max default grey interface in the background. I hope so because most 3D programs have an export for that format.

I wonder if they will have mechanical deficiencies in the sim. If they model the RE8, would anyone actually go up in the thing? \:\)

S!
