Glider looks incredible! 

Are there any missions in career mode for C47 to transport them? If so, should I start a new one?

Has the WWI AI aircraft reaction to being attacked been corrected?

Yes, they are available during the first few days of Overlord and Market Garden, one day during Repulse (the airborne relief of the 101st at Bastogne), and on the day of Operation Varsity.

I don't see any fix for the AI flying in constant circles in campaign mode?

Honestly, I'd prefer a training glider (e.g. SG-38), but the fact that these gliders were used as intended (as opposed to for transport/resupply mission) kind-of makes me want a glider from a country that pressed them into service as a way of delivering additional supplies to the front. on a more routine basis :)

Thank you for the update. Just bought the CG-4A.

 

I don't see the IAR 80 nor the CG-4A available in the AQMB.

I have FC1 to FC3 but when I try to use the new map I get the below, even after closing down and restarting. Any ideas?

Please note that the updated map and career mode are also available to owners of any Flying Circus volume (If you don't see the new map seasons immediately, please wait a few hours - they are being assigned to eligible accounts on the server).

I have the same issue ... must be a bug !

 

I also only have the WWI Western Front Spring map, not the other seasons as was described in the Release notes.

 

I also bought all modules and FC1, FC II as well asFC III.

I also bought the glider, but that seems to be OK, only the WWI Weatern maps (and some kind of authentication problem) is preventing us from using any WWI Western map.

 

I sure hope for a fix asap.

 

OK thanks SYN_Vander, sorry, I misunderstood/misread that. So just a bit of patience on my side ... would have been better.

Thank you for the Waco, but also a personal plea for the Horsa, used by us brits, (for me you could give it the same flying charectariscs) My dad was very proud of his Glider Pilot regiment smock that they wore, had it for years and used it when working on the car! But Dad was a Commando, Nr 6 Commando, and he drove for Tony Lewis, (MC) their boss. He also volunteered for the Glider Pilot training....but never really talked about it. Sadly in his old age he lost his memory and was prone to being fearful in hospitals, (Due to having been caputured and 'treated' in an enemy hospital, but he escaped and came back to 6 Cdo. In my last conversation with dad he quietly told me he'd not passed becaused he'd refused to jump out of the aircraft (I take it that they had to do a jump to qualify etc) said it like a wee boy admitting he had been a bad lad, and looked so sad. We reassured him that it was all right and it had all worked out, that cheered him up. Not long after he passed away peacfully in his sleep. These were the greatest generation of us by far. So a Horsa would be nice, even if it will make me cry at times

I can so relate to this! I moved recently, and my replacement joystick isn't arriving until Friday. Why couldn't the dev's have delayed by another 24 hours? ?;)

As fighters. They cant maneuver properly, flying like turkeys so you can actually shoot 5 or 6 of them in 1 dogfight.

Thanks for the update, congrats on keeping the game fresh!

However, the update has 'mashed' my in-game sound. The aircraft engine/flying sound is great but I can barely hear guns or radio chatter???

 

- Edited 30 minutes after posting: After adjusting in-game and windows sound levels, the balance between engine/gun/radio sound levels is fixed.

What Flying_Anchor said. FC AI just fly in circles like target drones. And even when they can shoot at you they rarely do.

They never do anything remotely like what ww1 aircraft can do. Just lazy circles.

Thank you, First flight.....descent with the Hadrian and I greased the landing....at last, one I could have walked away AND the aircraft was serviceable, I thought the troops might depart once the door was open, but they were very sensible, which is unusual for Airborne forces, and stayed put.

 

This is an excellent Christmas present, I wish ALL the dev's and their families a Merry Christmas & a Happy New year, we all live on the same 'Marble' as Apollo 8 showed us and they day may come where we all get on....usually I find, it's in a Pub. Best wishes to all.

How and where could I use Wacos as a C-47 pilot, not in a career mode? Looks like a rarely usable feature for C-47 owners.

Hi!

 

With this patch there seems to be a new free campaign called "detachment Kuhlmey" situated in Karelia map (Finland).

 

However when I start that campaign, I get a crash. Any advice?

Any tips for setting up gliders in the mission editor, for takeoffs?

I have a C-47 and a glider on the ground and hooked up, but the tow rope snaps when the C-47 starts its takeoff roll (tried both with me as Glider pilot and AI C-47, and me as C-47 pilot).

It was not intended to appear in this release, it's a bug - this campaign requires the Karelia map which is not released yet.

To be honest, a lot of pilots probably had trouble manoeuvring in WWI (poor training) and that might have assisted some aces in getting so many kills. However, things like marksmanship could be much higher (there was a patch in RoF where they were quite deadly). I think it is still possible to make a custom AI mod (for offline use) btw. I think it would make sense for most of the pilots to be quite poor except for the ace skill level... which could be made more deadly.

*edit* Sneaksie's post made mine obsolete.

 

Btw. Would anyone be interested in a high performance glider? If made by a third party? There were a lot of interesting experimental gliders in the 1930s (e.g. Cirrus D-30, Fledermaus, Seeadler, KIM-3, MAI-3, MAK-8) and it was the era when soaring first became possible. Having a glider is cool, having a glider with a longer glideslope would be even more fun.

There are no career missions for the Waco right now, only to tow it.

Dear sir, for now it is just boring. Feels like a shooting range. I love rise of flight so much, where ai is much more competent, but its just outdated. I bought FC1 2 years ago ant give it a try from time to time, but theres just nothing to do. Great state of art map, interesting planes, nice graphics, exciting campaigns and career mode, but... no gameplay.

Is it planned in the future?

Did this update break the in-game track files? Can anyone confirm or deny? Want to know before I update.
