I have just got to say that flying the 2 new WW1 planes by Sv is the most fun I have had in ages.There is the most incredible sensation of flight missing with the faster planes.SDOE rules.IP: Logged |

I was flying the SE5a last night offline against a bunch of albatros and fokkers, and the really cool part was that during the dogfight I tried to ride the edge of black-out in order to get on a german's tail, but in the process put too much stress on the airframe and CRACK! off went my bottom wings! I wrecked about two dozen SE5as like this before getting a feel for the plane. I must say, Sv, that bird really has a personality!Keep up the great work! Werner  ------------------

Good name for a topic... is it trade marked?  Just wait 'till the contest is over... we'll have good matches on both sides, and a WWI plane pack so we can have some wicked fun on-line WWI dogfights! ------------------

Actually Real men did wear chutes. Udet, Goering,Richthofen,Boelcke, Voss, hmm the list could go on and on and on Want to talk about a real man, no he's not German but Canadian. William Barker. I just read a story about his flight home near the end of the war. In a snipe I believe, he faced 4 or 5 Jastas like 60 aircraft and lived!! After being wounded badly he was able to down 4 of them. He recieved the Victoria Cross for his amazing flight. Could you imagine, 1 vs 60!! Thats just plain scary. ------------------

Yes Nuum thats the story. I read about it in a great book called Aces High "The war in the air over the Western Front" A very good read. I highly recomend it if you are into to WWI aviation. ------------------

SV Your WW1 aircraft are magnificent. My SE5a was diving on the Albatross. It was way down in a valley, deep in the shadows, and, as it came into the sunlight, there was a beautiful shimmer of colour. Your aeroplanes are things of beauty. Perversely, I prefer to FLY the dirty brown British planes. "Protective Covering No. 10" - my favourite colour, apart from olive drab. I love that stack of wings on the Dr1 too. Such a fat target, if the thing would only stay still. Have you ever thought about making a Sopwith Triplane (Royal Naval Air Service: Western Front first months of 1917). It's probably my all time favourite aircraft. Where the Dr1 was solid and stubby, the Sopwith was elegant and delicate. Observation balloons would be good fun too. But we'll never get good immersion in a WW1 theatre in SDOE until we get some good flat Flanders terrain or some rolling Somme countryside with trenches. Those bloody hills. They remind me of that film "Dawn Patrol" where the flying was great but the countryside was pure Californian foothills. And the AI keeps crashing into them. Dreams...
