RoF Screenshots and videos...

[Majpalmer]

VonS,

 

Your Mission Spacing files do not work with 3.3.2. The files where the changes are recorded in the career pilot CONFIG folder are JSON files in this version, and not CONFIG files. I can manually make the Spacing changes. But I'll have to figure out how to set up the others changes in your files.  

[VonS]

Hello Majpalmer,

 

All of my AI/DM mods for RoF United, including the various files that should be installed manually (such as the RoFCampaignSpecific "modulations" files, the MS Type H campaigning tweak, etc.) - were only tested in the PWCG ver. 16.x.x, as well as in quick combat mode in RoF.

 

I can't run the PWCG ver. 3.x.x on my rig (3.x.x freezes/crashes on my rig) - so no guarantees as to how my mods behave with that newer/beta ver. of the PWCG. Recommended is to use the older PWCG (16.3.1 I think it is) with RoF United -- although if you prefer 3.3.2 and it doesn't crash for you -- may your good luck continue with it.

 

Cheers,

?

VonS,

 

I did a fresh extraction of 16.3, dropped in your file, and it worked. But....

 

If I change any of the parameters in Advanced Configuration, for example changing credit for missions from 1 to 3, then your file seems to be ignored. EG, I stared a career in 10/16 and the days advanced two at the completion of the mission. Then I remember to change the mission credited from 1 to 3, ran another mission, and the day advanced one. 

 

I didn't think about my changes overwriting your file, which is what seems to happen. Eliminating it. 

 

I made the adjustment and then dropped that text into your file and I think I've got it sorted out now. 

 

If I want to make any changes to advanced configuration, I need to edit your file. I should have realized that. 

 

Thanks for your help, and work. 

 

Mike

[VonS]

Great stuff Falcon; those last couple of vids. in particular seem to be featuring more slippery and skilled AI. I hope to find time in a couple of months to work further on a more finalized, ver. 1.5 of the AI mod that combines the "best of" vers. 1.37 and 1.41.

 

Cheers all,

Fixed typos.

A few of mine,

 

Two of a neat mod that alters the stock W.12 into a W.29 which makes for a lot more visibility.

[WitchyWoman]

I think the screenshots of video detail we all have shared here and with the help of a lot of mods made by very intelligent people, has really made this older sim immortal and very much still enjoyable when compared to current titles.

[Dr1falcon500]

Fokker Dr1 in action. 3 missions. Red Eagles. Jasta 11. Jasta 6. AI ace and veteran. vonS AI and damage mods.

 

[Dr1falcon500]

Pfalz DIIIa intercept. One of the the scenario mission which are fairly well made and fun to fly. Using Blue Max DIIIa skin.

 

[Dr1falcon500]

Werner Voss bridge protection scenario. The aim of this mission is to stop the enemy bombers destroying the bridge in a small city. Of course the 4 bombers have fighter escorts.

 

[Dr1falcon500]

A scenario mission flying the wonder plane, Fokker DVII. Still a few steps ahead on FC, eye candy and VR isn't everything.

 

[Dr1falcon500]

Continuation of Bloody April, RFC 2 seater swarm German lines screened by flights of new fighters flown by better trained pilots. Jasta 11 does their bit for the Fatherland.

AI and DM mods by vonS. Skins by gooseh, PWCG campaign.

As Bloody April campaign goes on the RFC pilots seem to be getting more skilled. At the start most were at a very low level of ability. Reflects real situation fairly well.

Your videos are getting ever more cinematic. View shifts in-cockpit are jarring. View hat?

Yeah just view hat. Trying to do a bit more switching to target plane too. I like the F3 fly by best because I love to see the planes curving and swooping through the air. Often flying in the dogfights I've got no idea of the moves I'm making until I look at the video.

Why not try TrackIr?

Here in Australia Track ir 5 goes for around $500. Probably cheaper alternatives. I suppose really I've just got used to using joystick POV switch for however many years since European Air War.

[Majpalmer]

I can get it for a third of that here on Amazon.

Bloody April mission 9

It would have been good to have tried this with Flying Circus but many of the required planes are missing in action.

Hi there,

   I've recently been working on getting some of my own stuff up on my YT channel (most of my work is for clients therefore unlisted),

and been thinking of doing a career series for a long time. In that process I created a couple new intros and came up with this idea.

  Looking for real opinions here, Would anyone be intrested in a series on the adventures of RoF Logo? I dunno if he (it?) has name.

Anyroad take a look and see.

Thanx, DR

I would.

 

RoF Logo: Stealth Fighter

RoF Logo: The Man behind the Legend

RoF Logo: Marries the Ballerina

 

Etc.

 

The possibilities are endless. Go for it.

[WTFdigitalrebellion]

lmao All great titles cheers mate

Bloody April Jasta 11 mission 10 the Mercedes are roaring again.

 

[Dr1falcon500]

Jasta 2 on an offensive patrol. Like a wolfpack on the hunt.

I haven't flown ROF in a long time; last time I even visited the Forum since when GooseH was making a skin for my SSD4; about June 2023.  But it looks like you folks are still flying it, so it's still up and running?

 

I've got all my old 2D stuff.  Might be fun to go back and see how ROF compares to what I've been flying the past few years: FCVR.

 

S!

It would seem so, even if it just 2D.

Great video.

[VonS]

Nice vids Falcon - glad to see more varied AI responses depending on their skill set. Also nice to see more natural, slower spins on aircraft in the latest AI/DM mods package(s) (in stock form the spins seemed too fast to me; wooden aircraft shouldn't develop such high centrifugal forces even in spins). Now the spins are a pleasure to look at - but best is not to get into them. 😃 (I might revisit the mods one more time - to see if I can "tweak in" some snap rolls/spins as defensive or evasive maneuvers on the AI - especially at lower altitudes.)

 

Cheers all.

[Barkhorn1x]

Agree with VonS.

 

What AI/DM combo from his package are you using Falcon?

Both from version 1. AI is 1.3 Varied Situations. Seems to work okay.

TY sir!

[Dr1falcon500]

Albatros DII scenario First Combat. Jasta 2's first patrol with new DII.

 

[Dr1falcon500]

Scenario mission Convoy Protection. This mission takes at least an hour to fly, more likely an 1 and 1/2. The French throw a lot of planes into battle. You have to get through without getting shot down or getting your pilot done in. The hardest planes to take on are the Breguets. All enemy plane have to be taken down for mission success. Maybe the hardest of any missions.
