Very nice, I like the ground scenes, How do you get those?

That's something I missed in TW-RS offline play, was the ability to view from the target's perspective, which is something that was available in RedBaron3D.

Bombing in Richthofen's Skies was done really seat of the pants. I was always pleased when I could get one or two of the target's buildings to receive some damage. but bombing it RS from about 7000 feet up was always dicey for accuracy. At least in FS-WWI you get damage mapping on the ares you miss.

Thanks gents!

Lewis, that is the latest Somme terrain for Plane Pack 5 + Patch. Does yours not look like that? Bombing in FS-WWI is tricky as well... Not all of the sites are accurate, and if they are only at certain heights. But you do get the crateers like you said to help judge in the future bombing runs.

I love the fact that in Fighter Squadron, I can choose mid-mission which aircraft I want to fly. Really adds to replayability. Happy

Well I believe I have the latest and greatest plane pack 5+. Back in March I downloaded everything I could find concerning FS-WWI, both the .ISO and the .exe and the SDOE tutes and additional development programs.

What keystrokes bring about the Target's view of the attacker? Or is that a clever F2 shot from the Zeppelin?

Ah, then it should look like that! Smile

You should just need this Plane Pack 5 All-In-One: http://www.moddb.com/mods/fighter-squadron-world-war-one/downloads/fs-wwi-plane-pack-5-all-in-one-exe-installer

And this Patch: http://www.moddb.com/mods/fighter-squadron-world-war-one/downloads/fs-wwi-plane-pack-5-patch-v10

That's a clever F2 shot from the Zepp. Wink

Well I flew a few missions last evening. It's a good aircraft, although like Argon says it's got a lot of interior work yet to be done. The fun aspect of it is the number of stations you can man on this beast. There's 3 gun positrions plus the bombardier and the pilot. I set up in QMB a couple of aggressive Jasta encounters just to see how much damage it will take and how good it is at defending itself.

It's better defended in groups that fly in echelons or abreast. As it is, the sim seems to want to do trail astern formation. So you have to keep manning the squad leaders pilot's position to bring the first plane back enough to keep a knot of fighters from hammering them in single file. The two rear facing guns are effective and unlike the CA32, if you shoot at or through your tail surfaces, you will damage your plane.

Nudge, wink, wink,.. Smile
