It's that time of year again gents' when I like to do a little survey for remaining things that I may be interested in checking out, for a future (ver. 2.0) of the FM upgrade package for BH&H2 (and yes, the additions will be backported into a ver. 7.0 of the WOFF UE/PE-era FM packs too - for all retro WOFFers - and so that the FM upgrades remain identical across WOFF UE/PE/BH2). Please choose the response you are most interested in, in the survey below (I will leave the survey open for about a month). I hope to get to ver. 2.0 of the FM upgrade package sometime early in the next year - depends of course on (real) work-related duties.

Happy WOFFing all,
Von S smile2

~ 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. ~

A big thank you to all who voted in the survey for a possible, future Ver. 2.0 of the FM pack for BH&H2. The results are obvious - will eventually upgrade the FMs (sometime early in the new year hopefully) on the Lewis-armed (RFC/RAF) Nieups. with many of the FM changes that were already implemented for the French (Vickers-armed) Nieups. That will then likely be the last ver. of the FM pack for BH&H2, unless some new aircraft pop into the picture in the meantime - perhaps a Morane-Saulnier Type N, Longhorn/Shorthorn, etc.? smile2 (FM upgrades for the British Nieups. will also be included in the older WOFF UE/PE FM pack.)

Cheers all and happy flying,
Von S

Not sure if you're looking for more stuff to tweak or not. But if you are, just throwing this out there - has there been any discussion about a possible FM for the early Benz-engined Albatros D.I's, or a Fokker D.III FM to account for the transition from wing-warping to ailerons, or the SPAD XVII that was basically a SPAD XIII airframe with the 300hp H-S 8Fb engine? I've also read a couple sources indicating that there were significant differences in the durability of the wings on the OAW-built Albatros D.III, and that could be another FM mod worth exploring.

Feel free to ignore if you're all FM'ed out, of course! copter

@Albrecht, interesting suggestions - will think at least about that Spad 17 and Benz-powered Alby D.I modification. Might even get to those tweaks first, and will leave the larger RFC-Nieup. upgrades for later on.

Cheers all,
Von S smile2

Very brief update to this thread (for those who don't visit CombatAce regularly) that the Benz-powered Alby D.1 and SPAD 17 FM tweaks are now available under this post, for BH&H2 (see the relevant link under the pic. there). Also available under the same thread are the WOFF UE/PE versions of the same tweaks. The upgrade of the RFC/RAF-Nieups. will follow sometime in the new year when I find more free time from work.

Happy holidays & happy WOFFing,
Von S smile2

Final update to this (somewhat old) thread - with the little free time that I have, I will focus (when possible) in the future only on maintaining my GPU Tuners for WoFF/WoTR, and/or optimizing them further if possible. No future FM packs will be done for WoFF UE/PE/BH2 - the last additions include an early Aviatik B.I, as well as the 200 hp Fokker-built D.VII, with links located under the relevant CombatAce thread for WoFF. Packages are available there both for WoFF UE/PE and BH&H2.

Have decided not to upgrade the Lewis-only Nieups. with the FM changes applied previously in my FM packages to the Vickers-armed Nieups. - largely in order to preserve (historical) varieties in the Nieup. performance spectrum in WoFF that are already available. I will however come out of "FM retirement" temporarily if a Morane Bullet is ever released for WoFF (maybe with the AC pack that WM vaguely promised for 2023??... one can hope) - the M-S Type N is one of my favorites and too exciting not to tinker with.

Cheers all and happy flying (with stock or modified FMs),
Von S smile2

Thanks, sir.

I completely understand your need to ease off on the modding for a while. You have certainly done more than your fair share of FM modding, and I agree that more is not needed at this point--unless the Morane Bullet ever becomes a thing in the sim!
