somerset
I have just started with a Sopwith pup, for 'C sqn1 wing RNAS' on 19th July 1916, the earliest I can start with this plane.
After the first mission I gave myself and 3 of the 'Strutter' pilots some nice new 'Pups', [after all that's what I signed up for ! ] but all I'm getting is 'Spotter' missions.
OK I'll go along with that [that could have happened].
But there's not much point taking off without the 'notebook' you Need for the mission. And I don't see a way of switching over to 'A flight' so I can do the top cover instead.
So the next option I think would be to let the 'Pup' get the notebook. [more value than those rubbish rockets] Doesn't take up any space, and might be easier to 'drop off' at AF [no don't want a camera or radio, that would silly]. Maybe something for the next patch ?..

Good one, yeah the recon notes and camera etc are only available for 2 seaters, but allowing notes only maybe for fighters in dual role squads may help. You can see with the complexity of dual role squadrons of WOFF why other WW1 sims don't do this kind of detail - 3000 ways to break things.

OK is fixed in the next Update patch V1.28 - edit - out now. Now no notebook will be recommended, as you are meant to assist/protect A flight in dual role squadrons.
The only error is recommending you take a "notebook" loadout.

Your mission is and always was your squadron's mission, BUT as a fighter aircraft, your part is to assist by protecting the 2 Seaters to do the recon.

Update much appreciated Pol - I was also being recommended a notebook previously for my Eindecker, with Bosta2, a few times, and wondered why I couldn't select a notebook.

Cheers all (and happy flying with no notebook, unless you're with A flight),

~ 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. ~

OBD does it again. Someone makes a suggestion and few days later, there's an update that implements it.
