RNAS10_Oliver Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Also hope that in the career mode, when that comes, the RNAS squadrons are made up of RNAS aircrew, RFC squadrons are made up of RFC aircrew etc. As in the career mode for Rise of Flight no matter what squadron you chose your persona (and the others) would be using RFC ranks. Rather irked me and was one benefit of PWCG over the standard career as PWCG acknowledged the existence of RNAS personnel. 1

JG1_Butzzell Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 S! All A quick question: The Arras Map is- Pick one. A. Beautifully detailed. B. Stunningly realistic at low altitudes. C. Totally awesome in VR. The correct answer is D. All of the above. Would expanding that map east or west really add anything? Sixty km from the front is about the maximum that anybody uses. My purpose in this is to save the Devs from working on something that is already in the game and have them spend time and effort on Verdun. Woohoo! ( Just so psyched about seeing Verdun in this level of detail.) If they really want to improve the Arras map all they need do is add these missing airfields: Bailleul 0105.3 Lomme Lille 0207.1 La Gorgue 0305.8 Hesdigneul 0404.5 Villers-Bretonneux 1204.4 Faucaucourt en Santerre 1206.4 Change name of Villers Bretonneux at 1203.9 to Cashy-Bois 1 4

On the other hand I'm still missing some features in existing products: Recently released Tank Crew is full of bugs in WWII scenarios Allies are missing flyable transport aircraft in WWII scenarios Allies are missing real medium/heavy bomber (like TB-3 or B-17) I'm happy devs are working on multiple projects in parallel. I would appreciate finishing existing scenarios much more. Valid point Not an important enough feature to bother complaining about Has been explicitly stated several times...ain't going to happen, not on the radar, don't hold your breath 1 1
Rodwonder Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Ok... It looks good, you finally have my attention! ?
Cynic_Al Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Further maps are no doubt welcome, but all those concerned must be aware that FC planes face serious issues with the terrain as currently presented, which seriously restricts mission builders' options in the locating of airfields. Could we have at least an assurance that the problem of ground rolling resistance will be addressed? 2
Wolfpack345 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Pre-Ordered! Everything here is great. I was pleasantly surprised to see Flying Circus III mentioned as well. Very excited and optimistic about the future of FC! 1 minute ago, Cynic_Al said: Further maps are no doubt welcome, but all those concerned must be aware that FC planes face serious issues with the terrain as currently presented, which seriously restricts mission builders' options in the locating of airfields.

JG1_Butzzell Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 S! Wolfpack345 Great job tanking yesterday. 1
6./ZG26_Custard Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Huh.... Flying Circus II and III?? 2 1
76SQN-FatherTed Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Well, I'm in! Would have been anyway, but I definitely like the look of the planeset 1
J99_Sizzlorr Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 @Jason_Williams this is the best news i read for a long time! Pre ordered right away. Quick questions: 1. Which engine will the Pfalz D.XII have? 2. Is there a plan to bring back the interaction of the pilots or the observers with the radios and cameras, now that we will see more of them? I wish you the best of luck with FC2! 4
Redwo1f Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Great announcement, great plane set! Thank you ? It really appears to me that you took to heart a big portion of the failings of FC1 and really addressed that (bigger map, more relevant/better utilized two-seaters, single player campaign) - well done! (not going to mention the "other" thing (hoping it gets addressed in time too, as it looks like it will) - but very impressed!! ?
I./JG1_Baron Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Boys - I couldn't wish for a nicer Christmas present! PREORDERED OF COURSE! ...and FC3 and potentionaly FC4? Edited December 15, 2020 by I./JG1_Baron 1
Von_Drinkoften Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) The announcement of a single player campaign (FINALLY) is very welcome news, as I have no interest whatsoever in multi-player flying or third party addons such as PWCG. But, I am curious if this single player campaign will also be available to those of us whom pre-purchased Volume I in good faith that one would eventually be created for it? If not, then that's going to permanently turn me off this series (and developer) completely. Edited December 15, 2020 by Von_Drinkoften 1
simfan2015 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Thank You 1C/Ugra ... for this to happen ! This news is even better than in my wildest dreams !
No.23_Triggers Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 @Jason any word on which engine the Pfalz D.XII will have? Mercedes or BMW? 1
SteveMauk Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Very happy to see this, preorder completed... now get to work coding! ?

SYN_Ricky Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Fantastic news! Quite happy with the planeset and map expansion! Edited December 15, 2020 by SYN_Ricky
Old49r Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Wow, this is great news. My grandpa (yes I'm over 70) would be stoked! He was an airplane mechanic (repaired wood structure) on the DH.4 in the 155th Aero Sq. His unit had the DH.4 with 400 hp Liberty v-12 engines. He always talked about that engine (I have a manufactures plate off the DH.4 he took from a downed aircraft). His unit got to the conflict in Sept 1918, but did not see any action. They did however fly recon and look for downed aircraft after 11.11.11-1918. This is exactly what I was looking for. At my age I only fly single player or scripted missions with easy settings except getting killed and the plane breaking up. Pretty sure if I tried more realistic settings or against real pilots online I'd die right away, just like playing Fortnite with my grandson. Anyway, so glad to see the DH.4!!!! Think I'll go ahead and do the Pe-order. As I understand it, Pre-order means we will get the aircraft to use as they are produced with the first aircraft Spad 7.c1 sometime in Jan. Will the DH.4 come next?? And ..... We'll be able to use these aircraft on FCI map until the new map comes out at the end of the year. Is that all correct?? PS - The DH.4 with liberty engine was the only American built aircraft to see action in WW1. Unfortunately, the Airco DH.4 is not the American built aircraft with 400hp Liberty engine. "Collector Plane??" Hmmmm Edited December 15, 2020 by Old49r 9 1 1

=621=Samikatz Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Would've paid full price for the Handley Page alone, as the multi-crew aspect of FC is so good, but this plane set sounds like it'll be completely excellent. Can't wait!
E69_Cananas Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Pre-Ordered! You guys deserve it! Keep it rolling!!
Dutch2 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) @Jason_Williams are we still getting the black inks spots in the new map like at the arras map, when using VR? Edited December 15, 2020 by Dutch2
JG1_Vonrd Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Ahhh... the Brick! Hopefully it will have the 32 small bombs option... groundpounder's delight. Pre-ordered. 1

BMA_Hellbender Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Come on guys, it’s 2020. Can we be happy for a moment? 6 months ago the idea of FC2 happening at all was still 50/50. Now we have FC2 confirmed AND FC3 + brand new planes semi-confirmed, with FC4 a very real possibility. 9

I'm sure I'm near the end of mine too. I've always been a big WW2 era enthusiast, especially the pacific theatre. However I'm seriously considering this and supporting their hard work, even if its an era thats not usually my cup of tea. I'm also going to use it to educate myself more on the era. I loved oleg's work at the start of the IL2 series, the passion, caring he put into it. It wasnt a game for him, but an artform. The reason I support Jason and the current team, is that they have the same mentality and it shows. Its amazing. Edited December 15, 2020 by ksetuni 3
