Before the A.I. would attack the head of the group then become disinterested. This will make mission a bit easier to script.

Woohoo! Dolphin!

What a wonderful start. I just tried to register the demo, had to come here to find out what was wrong.

Strike one.

Normal service will be resumed soon. In the meantime have a nut.

You can also now make bulk purchases of planes (requested shopping cart)! Each plane has a checkbox. Tick the planes you want to buy, then click the "Buy selected" button at the bottom of the page.

... still no dogfight servers *sigh*

Dolphin!

Pfalz D.XII!

Slobber!

RD.

Im happy for you guys...I hope I will be able to run this sim one day....on my i7

Geez DT you've really spammed up the thread now haven't you!

Jolly good. Any fixes are better than none. Still plenty to go of course...
May have to get me one of those Dolphins; don't know much about it but it looks a brute!

Edit: Hello Squog!!!

WOW! Sopwith Dolphin &. Pfalz D.XII added, two great planes. Which you can purchase now!

Does the Sopwith Dolphin come in the 4-gun version too?

...... when are they doing an XBox version?

Ooooh Dolphin

The Dolphin's a strange looking plane had to look it up on wiki, I'd like to see what the view is like from cockpit considering where it is. it looks to me like your heads above the upper wing am I right?

Well, I've just bought both the Dolphin and Pfalz D.XII and now have four hours to wait before I can leave work, go home, d/l the patch and take two of the strangest, least-known and most interesting WWI aircraft for a spin.

The pitcures on the RoF webshop thingy show and describe a twin-gun Dolphin, so maybe we don't get the four-gun option. The Pfalz D.XII has the same lethargic Mercedes engine as the Pfalz D.IIIa and Fokker D.VII, so it's going to be no rocket ship. I guess they couldn't give us a BMW engine because a) maybe the D.XII never had the BMW? ii) BMW must be paying Neoqb to keep modelling only terrible Mercedes engines so as to undermine their modern-day car sales.

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...

Cheers,

RD.

Yes, some had roll over bars mounted over the cockpit area, field mod I believe, to prevent the pilot from being crushed on a nose over, which happened a lot with this plane.

Way cool!

I have this at home waiting to be read after I have finished the volume on the Fokker D.VII,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dolphin-Snipe-Wo...2427&sr=8-6

You can read some of the pages on the Amazon preview.

Ugly isn't the word. Hideous might just do. But hideous in a good way.

Cheers,

RD.

It's a strange aircraft. From what little I've read it was very highly thought of by its pilots. Cecil Lewis considered it the best British fighter of the war. Yet today it's virtually unknown in the UK - at least compared to the Camel, Pup and SE5a. Even aircraft enthusiasts often don't know much about it.

Cheers,

RD.

It has 2 MG's in this version and no roll bars (which were more than often removed if they were at all added). They have done a great job with the cramped feeling in the cockpit for the Dolphin.
