Did Patrick Wilson ever get artillery spotting and photo recon mission generation into his campaign generator?

Jobbo_Fett posted:That sounds pretty cool, I hope it is. Yeah, especially since artillery spotting in Rise of Flight actually requires you to pull up your map and match grid references for artillery to zero in, then you watch as they open up on the area, and you correct their firing if they are off mark. I think photo recon missions also have you actually having to aim the camera and take pictures similar to a bomb sight. I know Patrick Wilson had some trouble for awhile with those missions because of the logic in the files or something. If he finally put it in then I would suggest a Recon role in the next career.

Galaga Galaxian posted:I think he still hasn't got the artillery spotting missions working correctly and you basically just fly to the waypoint and loiter for a while. Not sure though, I haven't actually played RoF in a few months. Dang. I think some realism servers for multiplayer have coded something special to make it look like you are taking pictures with the bombsight or something. Too bad that that isn't in the normal game. Jobbo_Fett posted:I once played a 3 hour mission flying a Ju-52 half-way across the North African coast to drop paratroopers and land dead stick on a friendly airfield because all engines were dead from running out of fuel. Doing crazy stuff like that is sometimes more fun and intense than just getting into a dogfight. pixelbaron fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Sep 8, 2014 |

It's okay, Splode. More pilots were injured or died just trying to fly the Sopwith Camel than they did going into fights with it. At least that's what anecdotes from pilots suggests.

"Camels were wonderful fliers when you had got used to them, which took about three months of hard flying. At the end of that time you were either dead, a nervous wreck, or the hell of a pilot and a terror to Huns, who were more unwilling to attack Camels than any other sort of machine except perhaps Bristol Fighters. But then Bristol Fighters weren't fair. They combined the advantages of a scout with that of a two-seater. Huns preferred fighting SEs which were stationary engined scouts more like themselves, for the Germans were not using rotary engines except for their exotic triplanes, and the standard Hun scout was the very orthodox Albatros. They knew where they were with SEs, which obeyed the laws of flight and did as properly stabilized aeroplanes ought to do. If you shot at one, allowing correctly for its speed, you would hit it: it would be going the way it looked as if it were going, following its nose. But not so a Camel. A Camel might be going sideways or flat-spinning, or going in any direction except straight backwards." - Winged Victory, V.M Yeates

Looks like me and Bondematt are missing from the roster. Unless there's a cap or something, in which case I am fine to be a replacement when a bunch of you guys die.

Engine and Weapon control sections are about all you need to look at when you first start binding stuff to your stick. Galaga: You should get headtracking and then use your PoV switches as buttons.

If you have a webcam you can try FaceTrackNoIR, though I don't know how good it is anymore since I have gotten a TrackIR.

It's pretty good so far. Unfortunately probably going to have that vanilla RoF emptiness to it and Patrick Wilson aint interested in making a generator for WWII.
