    Flying Circus: Volume II will continue our long tradition of bringing WWI aerial warfare to your computer with an explosive plane-set that includes not only fighters, but bombers and recon aircraft. This will bring a more diverse range of missions available to the user. When combined with the existing plane-set from FC1 most of the aircraft that saw combat from 1917 to the end of the war in 1918 are represented. Flying Circus: Volume II is a big leap forward in aircraft, map and mission content setting up the Flying Circus range of products for an exciting future.

    When i was little, my dad built me and my brother a replica of this plane out of balsa wood and Styrofoam. It had functioning control surfaces, two little wooden machine guns, and a spinning prop. It was about half the size of the real thing so we could fit inside the cockpit. What's cooler is that the wings and tail were covered with actual canvas.
    Unfortunately it was so cool that me and my brother played with it non stop to the point where it broke 💔 but it managed to last almost a decade against toddlers and grade students which says a lot about its design!

    @kotori87gaming89 3 года назад

    The D8 is an interesting bird, but I don't think it will be very popular in multiplayer. It cannot out-turn, out-climb, or out-run the Camel, its main opponent. While it handles well at high speeds, its engine is prone to over-revving and it loses energy faster than the Camel too. I found that as a Camel pilot, all I have to do is pull a hard right turn to get out of the D8's gun-sight, then transition to a climbing right turn and the D8 will be utterly unable to get guns on target. The wing is very tough, but unlike in RoF it can be shot off if you put most of your ammunition into it. Still, pilot or engine hits do the job faster. The D8 was supposed to be very good in the vertical plane, but I found its rudder authority to be insufficient for the task. More experience with the plane will help, but I suspect most German aces will prefer to stick with the Dr1 or D7, at least until the monstrous Seimens-Shuckert comes out.
    The Nieuport 28 is another plane that isn't quite living up to the hype. Based on what I've seen, I can see why the American Expeditionary Force was so excited to trade their N28's in for SPAD XIII's as soon as they could. It has good power and speed (for a rotary), but that's the catch. Good handling for a rotary isn't the same as handling good overall. The SPAD climbs faster, turns faster, dives faster... in fact the SPAD meets or exceeds the N28's performance in every category except one: toughness. The Nieuport 28 can take a lot more damage before breaking up than the SPAD, SE5a, or Camel. It lacks maneuverability, but if you fly as a team and cover your buddies then is can be a very good plane. The trick is you need teammates who know how to cover each other, since there is no other reliable way to get a bad guy off your six. There is some argument about the flight model and whether the plane is performing as well as it should, but as it currently stands in-game most pilots are staying with old faithful SPAD/Camel/SE5a unless we're doing an organized N28 flight.
    Overall, they are both interesting planes but certainly aren't shaking up the game balance.

    • @Wolfpack345
      @Wolfpack345  3 года назад

      Yeah, I don't expect any aircraft we get with FC 2 to necessarily shake up balance or anything. The D8 was fun to fly around because I never really messed with it in ROF. The N.28 is pretty much exactly what I expected. Rather similar to how it was in ROF. The only thing that subverted my expectations is just how durable it is.
      So far both aircraft we have gotten with FC2 have held up rather well and various rods don't snap after taking one hit. If this trend continues I can see myself only flying FC2 aircraft. Especially in multiplayer.
      Today I hopped on Flugpark for the first time in a while and decided to take out the SPAD 13. I literally took one hit and the rudder rods were broken. I would rather fly the N28, A flying brick, than take a SPAD or SE5 where my cables snap once they are touched.

    I'd love to see the P36 in a career, Gramps was a mechanic on them in the war. Another good Plane for a career/campaign series would be a FU Corsair. But anything you pick is OK by me. Thanks...

    That plane has some quirks that make him a little fokker to get a grip on don't it?

    After I tried VR, I can't go back to trackIR.
    But I can't play VR either, cause I get so sick and throw up.
    What a clusterfuck

    For some reason when I first saw the thumbail, it briefly looked like you had super-imposed Thomas The Tank Engine's face over the engine cowling.
