As Huub wrote - weight is the key to finish mission #3.
Got some gray hair until I understood.:173go1:
Just made another experience.
 
One of the most frustratingly difficult yet entertaining ways to raise my blood pressure and give me the opportunuity to use every known swear word known to man.
 
Just scored my first two air-to-air kills in the Albatros D.V, in a 1 vs.1 game. Shot down a Spad and a two-seater, the third Spad flew into the ground before I could get a good shot at it.

:d

Hey mr Rickenbacker, perhaps this could be useful for you;When the mission is loaded, you can select hangar at the left bottom corner. Get rid of all ammunition and reduce the fuel until about 30%.

Why not ??

Actually the whole run is going well ( i think... ), love to buzz the rings fast and low over the river, it's just that this ol' instructor fellow keeps nagging me about him wasting his time on me.... tough cookie... like to pull that Garrison cap over his ears next time... :d

Maybe i'd better keep an eye on the time...

With this low weight the rest should be a "piece of cake". ;)

Bit too early for Spitfires and Messerschmidts, oder ...?? :)

Yes I did, but I had Monday off as well, so when I finished installing Windows 7 (Went faster than I expected!) I did some trainingsmissions.

Sjeeezzzz..... so didn't you have to re-install all your stuff then ??....

The stall didn't work the first time (Recovered too soon) but luckily I had enough altitude to try again, and that second try was good enough to pass the mission.

Sjeeeezzzz (2)..... so you ran that mission one time only !??... :eek:

So what did that instructor chappy say to you then ??... I seem to be only wasting his time..... :blind:

Really am at awe with the aircraft/cockpit modeling here, sound too.... dunno about the 'game play' ..... :confused:

Sorely miss clickable cockpits, and 'replay option' even more... :frown:

cheers,

Ok, did that...

( two days in the slammer for insubordination and one day for my buddy who took the photo )

still wasting his time....

Did see a message appear now which i didn't see before : " did not perform a stall ( DID TOO !! ) , turn around and try again "

Ok then. ( since it's a time related mission a stopwatch might come in handy, or am i missing something ?.... )

cheers,
Cappuller
 
Eddie,

The instructor is telling you, you are waisting his time because you fail to succeed the trainings mission. So either you exceeded the 15 minutes you are allowed to spend on this, or you didn't pass all the missions goals.

When you say the mission goes quite smooth, you are most likely exceeding the time. When you cut some corners 15 minutes is about enough to finish the mission and correct one error. But perhaps you are just missing one of the green gates.

I did this mission yesterday again and you can even fly the whole mission with only 15% fuel.

Cheers,
John (aka Huub)
 
You guys finally did it!!! Ya talked me into it I am getting it for Chrismas. It looks like a real challenge. I just wanted to make sure most of the new game bugs were out of it.

With version 1.0.0.8 things have improved somewhat. At least there now is an easier 'quick mission'with some easy targets :)

I don't think you'll be disapointed Ted!! In many was I like RoF better than FSX!!
 
Being that most 'combat simmers' are around the SOH somewhere, this would make a good place for a RoF user forum.
Personally, I could do with some on-line partners that are a little 'older' ? I don't like mingling with the screeniekids anymore... my reflexes aren't the same as 40 years ago I'm afraid :) I also seem to speak a different languange (and that's considering I am one of the first 'PC guys' of this world.... dating back way back into last century :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol: ).

It would be great to fly with some SOH'ers!! Someone pick the time and place and I'll try my best to be there! A Co-Op mission would be awesome!
 
I got this earlier in the week for my birthday, and it is definitely much more performance intensive than I thought it would be - I really need to upgrade to a new graphics card. So-far I've gotten enough enjoyment out of the challenge of just flying these aircraft. I was quite relieved to find out that you can operate aircraft like the Nieuport with a blip switch, which I had yet to read anything on - and the effects of it, and the sound, are spot on - it just isn't right to rely on use of a throttle in an aircraft that doesn't have one. ;)

Nope, nothing except the saitek software for the X52 (So far). The rest of the upgrade went fine. Not a single blue screen or other crash since! (Knocks on wood)

Yep, only once, and with 100% fuel and load! He said the same thing he says after each successful mission..
I think I tried the stall attempt too soon, but luckily I could try again.
 
Very excited - just killed Richtofen after creating a mission - even created his red triplane as "ace". Bet he will get me if i replay!!
