hi all, still digging into all there is with WOFF but a few things i have noticed and would like some advice on

1 - in a quick scenario once i land,if i take off again often i cannot fire my guns although i have plenty of ammo??

i am not sure if this is because somehow i am gibbling my engine, and that effects guns? or if i need a key combo to re arm guns ??

could someone please post the proper 'engine management' for landing and if they have this issue when taking off again

as i land i blip and once down and rolling to a stop do the cntrl e to turn off engine

when i hit e to start engines and get in air again i can usually no longer fire the guns??

2) - i purchased the skin packs add on ... when flying a campaign with my pilot and squadron .. all the planes have the same skin ... i thought maybe the purpose of all the skins was to give each plane or pilot a unique identity, but maybe i am mistaken?

there will be plenty more questions with this awesome game as i get into it more and more

but any advice much appreciated

regards, Ron

The skin pack is for historical aces. There is not likely any in your flight if all the planes are the same skin.

I have the same problem with my guns not working if I land and turn off my engine. I thought it had something to do that they only worked if the engine was off or something as I have never tried to take off again and use them in the air again. Perhaps the devs will ackowledge if everything is working as it should be or not?

Re the skin pack, most squadrons will have a specific skin. For example, Jasta 71's Albatros aircraft will have red and white stripes on the tail. If your squadron has no historical aces, or if the historical aces within the squadron don't have their own personal skins, all the aircraft in your flight will default to the squadron's unique skin.

On the skins pack, if you are flying earlier in the war, you don't see (as) much variation.

I asked the same a bit ago.

I like early war (15-16) and there isn't much squad/jasta Id's at that time, apparently.
