Prince of Eckmühl -> Over Flanders' Fields (2/14/2009 2:20:50 AM)

A virtual pilot name of Olham54 posted a video that he made while flying an add-on to Microsoft's CFS3 called Over Flanders Fields:

He titled the clip "Day of the Albatros." It shows him doing battle with some Royal Aircraft Factory SE5. He does a nice job of shooting, BTW, and handling his aircraft.

The expansion is really a lot of fun. WW1 crates are technologically crude, so there aren't a lot of bells and whistles on board to attend to. Pilots just fly the aircraft and shoot at stuff.

There's a new version, Between Heaven and Hell that just became available for sale. Check it out if you get a chance.

Interesting looking game. But that pilot is not much of a shot, can't seem to judge lead.

Kinda swarmy music.

The Albatros has good speed, for its time, and is a fine gun-platform. However, maneuverability wise, the aircraft is pretty much of a hog. It has an abysmal roll-rate and struggles with about any Allied pursuit type in turns. The driver in the video repeatedly positions himself for an effective burst and does a dandy little job of tagging the SE5 before they scoot out from under his axis of fire. Doesn't look sloppy to me at all.

Here's another user made, in-game video:

[X(] realistic or not I couldn't handle staring at that wing, must be a quarter of the screen blocked out

Visibility is definitely an issue in those old crates. Some players turn the cockpit off, but that spoils it for me. I like the challenge of managing difficulties such as restricted views.

I turn the cockpits off myself.[:(]

I think that the developer/organizer is aiming for the total immersion effect:
