I'll keep waiting for my F86

I'm not sure what side I'll be flying for yet... but if this is the default skin for the Fokker DVIII

You can bet that'll be the first plane I target.

Lothar Von Richthofen's Fokker D VII or Herman Goring's?

I loved Red Baron 3D and even though I can download a bunch of programs to make it work on my vista computers, there is about 5 people online at a time. So its not as fun as it used to be... But now I can fly my Sopwith Snipe again and re-learn how to fly a motorized kite! Oh can we get an Avidyne PFD/MFD System going in the Rv-8?

This looks really interesting, of course my question would be is HTC going to add WWI bombers as well? 

Zeppelins!!

That's the Göring's "all white" machine with the BMW engine.

LOL...can't wait to see what gv's they put in this (if any)...20Kg bomb on the turret should do the trick. 


WWI planes are going to be some serious fun...got to reserve me a Camel (and make sure ack ack doesn't light it for me).

Couple links:

Flight Journal Article about flying the Fokker D.VII written by Corky Meyer: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3897/is_200310/ai_n9342008/
Read it a few moons ago and found it most interesting.

A Swedish guy Mikael Carlson has done some awesome reproductions from several early aviation planetypes. His lastest ready creation is a Fokker Dr.I repro which is one of the most authentic in the world.
A couple of great clips of it can be found here: http://www.aerodrome.se/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13&Itemid=12 Especially have a look at that airshow clip, he sure flies the thing!

I prefer to fly WWII planes myself but flying them in a special event sounds excellent. Its nice to change things up once and awhile.

I'm just going to up a JUG N with 100 fuel and DT's...fly over to the WWI arena and shoot all those lil cloth planes down.

thing is you can't out manuver them so good luck with that lol.

Is planned that the WWI component will expand to something akin to what we have now for the WWII arena?

Period buildings, GVs and terrain? All of that sort of stuff?




Obviously, you can't please everyone... and this isn't exactly a complaint....

But I can't help but feel that these advances (that look absolutely magnificent.... and the update damage model! I've always thought that should be more important than new planes) would have been better made in the WWII section.

My main concern is that WWII stuff will get less attention now and WWI additions will come thick and fast.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with that... it's just not what I'm here for.

I want fights just like most of the WWI guys here.... but WWII history is my interest, so it won't be the same.

Like I said, it is not my attention to come across as a snotty little donkey (as so many here do when something develops here that they don't like), I just thought I'd put this out there for consideration by whoever, if anyone  , cares.


And just for the record there seem to be some people giving others crap for 'not saying anything'. I did.
