Uhh  How do I get PWCG? I guess the site's busted or something because I can't seem to find any downloads for 15.8.1. I'd like to check it out but when I click this, http://www.pwcampaigngenerator.com/WebSite/PWCG.html , I get a 404.Edit: Might as well add my adventures last night in a W12. I was talking to some friends on TS saying how I really wanted to shoot down a Felixstowe and a few minutes later, I see this silhouette.    My engine proceeded to crap out entirely about a minute later, but I shot you down first! BillyJoeBob fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Mar 8, 2014 |

Galaga Galaxian posted:Yeah, I'd wait. Personally, if the last gift turns out to be RoF related, my guess is it'll be Birth of the War Birds or the Ace Pack. Thanks for this again, been playing around with it flying an Albatross III and I have three kills and one probable in two sorties. The furballs are a lot more fun than the regular career.

. It seems to operate fine without them though. Its still 45ish mb though, so I'm not just gonna post the link and get my dropbox account suspended for bandwidth reasons or whatever. If anyone wants, just ask and I'll PM or email a link or something. Pat'll probably get his website back up and running soon anways... I hope.

After a busy and tiring day I sit down to play this and stream to friends on teamspeak. I should really emphasize the tired part because I end up accidentially tackling a Sopwith Pup right out of the air and live. I end up shooting and damaging one, and the second gets absolutely obliterated and I am glad the stream autosaves. http://www.twitch.tv/billyjoebob1337/c/3852529

Galaga Galaxian posted:It does seem like it'd be a neat little "pleasure cruiser" like the Felixstowe or Aircho DH2 (at least for me). I wonder what a career for it would be like in PWCG? Going on night bombing raids to England sounds interesting, half the challenge would be keeping formation! Assuming you didn't just autopilot it. Posting while flying.  I just started a career in a Gotha and its sending me and 2 other Gothas to bomb Marquise during the day. This will go well.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Man, that is quite the long-distance flight. I wouldn't want to do that without (level)autopilot and time acceleration. What altitude are you flying at? About 550 meters through dense cloud the whole way. Haven't seen a single allied fighter he, knock on fuselage. On approach to the factories. I don't imagine the flight out will be as easy. Our flight got hit by a couple nieuport 17s and we downed them. My pilot got wounded and the right radiator is out. The engine is at about 80% throttle and I think the cloud cover is the only thing keeping it from totally overheating. I have lost sight of my squad but Nieuport is below. We're finally almost in friendly territory. Edit: Added quote because posting on a phone is slow and missed a page. The engine poo poo out finally when I was approaching the base and it tumbled out of the air from 50m killing all the crew. A+ Would Gotha again.

Then that just means I have to nail someone midair with a Davis gun. I do want to gun for a fully equipped Felixstowe though, I have the pleb model still.

I just started a new career in a Nieuport 17, and I shot down an Eindecker and damaged a few Halberstadts. My squad was off somewhere else finishing off the Halberstadts, and there was one lone guy flying back. I shot him a few times but then my Vickers ran out of ammo,so I improvise by shooting flares at him. I bounce one or two off his wing until I fire one backwards as best I can manage and it plugs him straight in the engine block and it cuts out a few seconds later. Dude goes down trailing smoke and crashes into a tree in an open field. I was torn between  and cracking up.

Galaga Galaxian posted:If your'e flying a N17 I'm guessing its sometime in 1916? I read on the PWCG forums that if you want to see action in 1916 you need to be in the Verdun area in early 1916 and the Somme area in mid/late 1916. Guy I hit with a flare gun was probably retreating. He'd move out of the way when I got near trying to flare his face. I also ended up with three kills my first day, and despite the flight lead getting shot down we didn't take a loss of personnel. Edit: Woah I just checked and believe I was just awarded a Médaille militaire, Croix de guerre, and a pilot badge. I don't imagine those are already there when I start a campaign since it didn't give me a notice. Edit2: Whoops, left the edit too long, making it a new post.

I'm on my second mission, and I guess we scramble to blow up a balloon except we're scrambling because our aerodrome is behind German lines?? Well 6 Eindeckers come down and my N17 and two jerks with fancy Spad 150Hps brawl them. I take out two after swirling around the observer balloon apparently set up right next to our former base. At this point I have no idea where the Spads went and a third EIII swoops down on me. He gets close enough to me that when I notice him and padlock the camera, we're making eye contact as he fires right into my cockpit. I lurch to the side and avoid him for just long enough for a Spad to mow him down. Since the front has moved Westward, I fly my bleeding rear end over no man's land while barely staying level. I got over it just far enough to crash land near a friendly artillery battery by flipping my plane. The impact is just hard enough to kill the pilot ingame, but I went to PWCG and changed the wound status to seriously wounded instead of dead as a "saving roll" or something. His rear end was out 6 months and after this the max wound is being set to 4 again. And that is the story of how Claude Dirté got his 5th kill and became an Ace.

My flight lead and I went up against 4 Sopwith Pups vs our two Albatross D.Va's. I managed to shoot down one and they forced the lead down, leaving me to fly back to the base on my own. I fend off the Sopwiths for a bit and shoo away one. Then comes this one guy who ran out of ammo decides he wants to be an amateur carpenter on my plane with his circular saw, or something. He starts swooping down on me while I try to peg him with flares.( I really need to get that Ace pack, this happens too often )   Right here is where I start going "Aaaaaaa  "  Then he comes back for another pass! Right when I look where he had gone I notice the horde of Spads and decide now is a good time to put myself on the ground ASAP.  I come to a graceful landing by smearing my plane near Jasta 11's aerodrome wonded, but alive. Next mission is to scramble, here's my flight's roster. Assigned Pilots: Obltn Sigfried Sparkles Ltn Lothar von Richthofen Ltn Helmut Hefter Ltn Reiner Schulman No pressure.

With the flying chainsaw there I had put it on level autopilot, which is LShift + A. The handheld guns are fired with the mouse, and they're pulled out with Ctrl 1-5, 5 being a real handgun and not flares. I was also just given a Fokker Dr. I for that scramble sortie... this is a lot nicer than my old Albatross. Edit: Its such an angry plane

I was fiddling with the controls some more and realized there are 4 engines in the settings. What sort of monstrous 4 engine beasts could there be in WWI? I also won at flare guns forever. I whipped out the gun and fired it at a crippled Sopwith Strutter that had a dead observer. I saw the flare smack the pilot square in the head and kill him, or it must have, because he slumped down and the plane went into a flat spin. I was too amazed to have captured it on video or pictures though.

I just started a new PWCG campaign with 15.9 and for my first mission with Jasta 7 on Feb 1st 1917 I end up ram killing a Nieuport 17 and survive. I flew back home on a wing that I thought looked like this:  It actually looked like this:  I come to a skidding halt in front of a bunch of tents swearing revenge on the Nieuport that buzzed around me as I wobbled back over the trenches.   Fake edit: Upon uploading the pictures they came out all hosed up like this. Anywhere else I upload and view them, they're messed up too but with different variations. Maybe my pilot actually died on the ram and he was a ghost the whole time?!

When I say I flew back home, anywhere on the Eastern side of the front was home. I hit the Nieuport a few km West of the French trenches. is right though. I had to fly at reduced throttle because fighting the torque was making the wing angry. Then I had to keep it level and chuck some flares at the fighter behind me to get him to go away. Guaranteed to work most of the time! I managed that whole ordeal without any injury either, but was out two weeks.
