. Swore I wouldn’t get involved in the 25th WOFF plane wish list thread but here I am. Duke, you might be a tad shy at 25. So many times we've come around to this discussion over the last many years. It's fun so I imagine that's why we keep revisiting it. Plus, Christmas is coming and we're getting hopeful of that visit from old Saint Pol. .

Hopefully Lou! And thanks Trooper. I was having a vapor lock doing 6 things at once and now realize I didn’t name the “American plane needed” in my post. Let me go back and fix that so OBD can just do a cut & paste for their “to-do” list! And for OBD, and speaking for myself, if you produce any or all of my brilliant and insightful suggestions as a paid DLC I’ll be your first customer.

French seem to be in good shape also with all the Nieuports and Spads.
Not at all for Spads : Unless you use VonS addons, there are only 1 Spad 7 and 1 Spad 13. There were actually two significant variants of Spad 7 : 150 hp and 180 hp and 3 significant variants of Spad 13 : 200, 220 and 235 hp. Typically, the Spad 7 150 hp was inferior to the Albatros DIII, whereas the 180 hp was significantly faster. The evolution of Spad 13 is parallel to the Fokker DVII / DVIIF ... This is quite important to simulate the evolution of the french air force between early 1917 and the end of the war. The evolution of the Spad 13 was very important between the early 1918 version and the last versions.

For full disclosure I have been running “Auto” on the mixture for many, many years because by sound alone I found it difficult to discern when things were optimal.
Exactly so do I. Due to lack of engine sound manifestation and/or EGT indicator. That is (at least I think) the only featureI have switched to Auto (lower realism).

Yes. I did mention the different FM’s, based on the various engine sizes for the planes, integrated into the campaign for historical availability. I tend to be a bit wordy so you may have missed it or I phrased it poorly. Yes, I reread your post and realized it.

I know this is the wrong thread, but I'd prefer adding more complex engine management features to each plane.... and at different altitudes to accommodate the colder air. Something along the lines of the classic ReLoad program for Red Baron 3D perhaps? (That one applied many of Bletchley's suggestions for different engine type management, if I remember correctly....) Ah good memories - I'll have to fire up RB3D one of these days to see how the engine management works in ReLoad. Perhaps JJJ can whip something up for this in Java.... I basically use my rotaries at settings of 40/60/80/100 or off, and mixture control and blip on occasion. Settings of 80/100 throttle work well for the Bentley/Gnome Camel and DH.2, and settings of off/100 for the Eindeckers, Parasols, etc. Von S
~ For my various FM/AI/FPS/DM Mods. for First Eagles 2, WoFF, RoF & WoTR, and tips for FlightGear, recommended is to check over my CombatAce profile ( https://combatace.com/profile/86760-vons/) and to click on the "About Me" tab while there. ~

But a more “interactive experience” in two-seater missions like Arty Spotting or Aerial recon/photos or contact patrols would be very nice. I just wonder what form this would take. Especially artillery missions.
I agree, artillery spotting and recon missions in RoF are very interesting. For recon mission, a good variet of missions would be nice suuch as : - Front line recon - Ennemy airfield monitoring (overfly a serie of ennemy airfields to check if they are occupied) - Ennemy transport monitoring (overfly roads or railways to check the activity) - In depth reconnaissance - Ennemy artillery battery monitoring If they put up a Salmson the Americans and the French could use em! Salmsons are available in both First Eagle and Il2FB and they are very interesting to fly
