This is the first of hopefully many to demo BH&H II sim features.
Please add to this thread.
The video is of a Balloon Defense Mission flown out of Phalempin Aerodrom in April 1917. The Aerodrome is an updated airfield which is part of the Consolidated Airfields Mod for WOFF. The video contains no combat footage as no enemy aircraft were encountered in this mission.

This is a BH&H II QC mission with no combat. It demos a sunset landing at Visseghem aerodrome and the lights in the buildings and convoy headlights.
VIEW IN FULL SCREEN in order to see the night time details clearly.

BB, I'm not sure or maybe an error on my part with the date.

Nice videos guys. I see, like my install, that if you select to fly for, say the RFC, the interface shots between menu selections seem to be predominately of German aircraft or personnel. I expected that they would reflect the nation you have selected to fly for (i.e. German or French or British etc),

As I said a few times during Beta, BHaH II is more than the sum of its parts. How it all comes together - the goggle effects, terrain blending, AI improvements, etc. It really does feel like a whole new experience. Kudos again to OBD for delivering such an amazing sim. Started a Sopwith Tripehound campaign with RNAS-1. Magnificent little furball behind enemy lines. I didn't even see them at first. Just saw my squadron start peeling off.
*also: nice sound effects before and after engine start-up/shut down *also, also: I turned down the goggles to about seven and I think I like it. *also, also, also: If you bind a joystick button to mixture control up or down, don't forget to change the repeat to one or two from zero. Two worked well for me.

Still testing things out with 40 Sqn. We were headed off for a line patrol when we ran into a flight of recon craft about halfway there. Usually this ends with us getting shot up quickly and landing, as per my last video. This time however, there were escorts that attacked. Seeing that the rest of the boys seemed to have the matter in hand. I pushed through to follow the recon craft but they were so far ahead that after crossing the lines I was about to give up on them when they suddenly turned and started to land. I attacked one and then tried to make my way home before over-staying my welcome. Just then, an errant flight of Albatros scouts that I had spotted heading away a while earlier decided to head back my way and dove down. On me. Alone. Also, watch the end-of-flight review for that cracker-jack observer/gunner, hitting me at nearly 1400 feet (!!!) out! Sign that guy up for the Olympics!

How do you lower your Lewis so smoothly, Rick? I have to press the button many times to lower it and the movement seems increment in my case...
So steep dive in an Albatros, could be a half suicide move, Hellshade! I'm not sure if a human player could perform such a dive without damaging his wings.
A quick 2 minute video of a campaign encounter I had with an Alb. The AI is just so cool.
Hellshade, that was brilliant AI man!!! WOW I have never seen that kind of performance yet
