The distinctly shorter-span lower wing has a decided taper to the outer trailing edge, not too evident in these views. Not at all Albatros C III like, even with its many variations in fin shape etc.

Thanks Ivor saved me a job there posting those..

BTW anyone, Cas141? using trackIR 3 Pro for Wow what profile are you using? Just got mine today

I found our C-Type Ivor (perhaps):

Well, like you said in your other posting (in another thread), this plane looks allot like an Aviatik B.I/B.II, except for the crew positioning and the lack of the inset lobed tail.

Perhaps Silver Wish settled on this rare Albatros C.III because it could "double" for the look of the early Aviatiks too (with rear gunner that is).

Will check EB world here in Olympia when the wife isn't looking.

I visited my local EB store yesterday and they said that WoW should be in the store in about a week.........hope so. BadBud

Yeah, FlyXwire, that looks like it, tho the WoW C-type's wings look Aviatik, weren't the Alb CIII's nearly the same span? I reckon Silver Wish have been working from different photos & have merged the types! Alb C III fuselage with Aviatik wings, easy to do they all look much the same to me anyway. Who knows, with the Feldfliegerabteilungen operating mixtures of types for much of the war, maybe they did it in RL too! It's a pity they didn't give us a late-war C-type like a Halb or a Rumpler to go with the Roland.

BTW, have you tried SDOE-WW1? They have a nice Aviatik C I (tho straight rudder LE, not comma type), Albatros B II, and Hannover CL III (has a rectangular balance on one aileron and a tapered one on the other, short of mixing spares, did that happen in RL?). The Alb B II is especially neat.

SDOE is great, the models are superb. Also I get to fly my BrisFit with a shooting rear gunner too in a dogfight, ace . It just needs more missions, better terrain and a campaign generator

I emailed the Czech who was originally hosting the “Unofficial Website” about a demo for WOW. He wrote back that the information he has is that a demo is ready to publish but he does not know when it will be and that it is up to Take Two…

He also briefly discussed the difference between the arcade flight model and the Classic mode and felt there was only one major unrealistic factor and that was that “planes are faster than real WWI planes.”

Perhaps if you could slow the whole sim down a tad, similar to the time compression in IL2… LOL better get the game and fly it first :0)

LOL..........have I tried FS-WWI?

I've only been skinnin' for it goin' on four+ years now!

In fact as soon as I get a new hi-res SPAD 7 skin done (btw it was modeled by tailgunner who's been talking here on this forum with us too), I can move on to finishing up the Fokker D.VII skin, and then ArgonV can wrap up Plane Pack 4 and finally get it out the door!

P.S. Just finished my skin for the Richthofen Skies Nieuport 11 to be released sometime in the not too distant future too.

Excellent information GreyW!

In fact the Wings of War FMs remind me of allot of those in Rowan's Flying Corps Gold, just too fast, but then I loved FCG too (it also had great music, just like WoW does)!
