@@CakePrincessCelestia Meh. What could you know about that? You're a magical, talking, sentient, intelligent (or supposedly so X-P), colourful pegasus mare. What could you know about what air warfare was like for us humans, back in WW1? Not having a parachute also drastically reduces one's chances of survival, you know. Heck, even you pegs could use something like that, should you sprain a wing midflight or something.
@@Briselance Always have a chute hidden in the "Magical Mane of Holding" :D Knowledge simply comes from reading, I mean, since I've read the first awesome Daring Do book, I'm an egghead ;)
@@hadojin210 You're right - Chester had mentally disengaged from the dogfight. In his mind, he was home by the fire with tea and crumpets, and a bit of a castor oil issue.
@@Miranda_Ghost Nah, he probably ran out of ammo. He had two Lewis guns on his Scarff ring, but you can't fit any extra ammo drums back there. You go through the ammo faster with the twin guns compared to the single mount, and its heavier which affects your climb and top speed, but the extra firepower is worth it in some cases. I usually take the twin guns if I'm going hunting, bombing targets deep behind the lines, or expecting trouble. I take the single if I need speed and climb, such as doing a photo recon mission.
@@gascan "you can't fit any extra ammo drums back there" Actually, Chester the tail-gunner has some extra drum magazines available for him, near his seat, inside the plane.
Another little fun "FML" aspect: many WW1 airplanes had a type of radiator built into the center of the top wing...channeling coolant through pipes to the motor, etc. So...if a bullet hit your exposed radiator...place directly over your head...well, you can imagine what a bursting/boiling/steaming radiator does in your face. Some planes also required pilots to manually pump oil around their own motors with a lever. Another thing to keep track of while trying not to die.
That was issue of german planes; Albatros D.III and D.V, Pfalz D.III, Halberstadts, Hannovers, LVGs, Rumplers and Austria licence Oeffag D.III, and , they have radiators on top wing. Austrian Phönix D.I
A couple of fun facts: The pilots' bodies eventually acclimatised to the castor oil, but until they did so, the rookies were known as "treacle-bottoms." Also, anti-aircraft fire in WWI was known as "Archie." Friendly fire had white smoke, German archie had black smoke.
"That chaos.... How are those guys doing it every day?" - Well, look at Chester. You just go blank and lethargic. You shoot your gun until it is empty then sit down and stare at your mate without any comment. Day after day :P
You are absolutely correct about that Caster Oil. One of my first flight instructors was a late entry (1917) pilot in the war (ww1) and bitterly had to deal with constant diarrhea unless they kept their face covered. He flew Nieuports and Spads. Typically entered enemy air space at 10,000>12,000 feet. Also said they had Browning machine guns (30-06 round). Honestly I don't know.
Hey, about the oil in the face. Whats even worse is, that oil gets super hot in the engine and when it spits out its basically smoking hot. I remember watching an episode of top gear, where they drove cars, that used ww2 and ww1 aircraft engines as power, and they were complaining about the burning oil in the face and eyes. absolutely brutal...
That's because these engines used what's called a total loss lubrication system, because of the poor quality of oil from the era, these engines were deliberately designed to lose oil as they were used so the engineers could keep them toped up with fresh oil. Usually the oil would get released from the valve train.
This video reminds me a lot of The Blue Max board game I used to play back in the early to mid 90s with a group of friends. The F2B was fairly handy in the game - good stability, could almost turn as good as the triplanes, took heaps of heaps of damage and had twin Lewis Guns in the rear to keep enemies off the tail. The only downsides were the one gun up front (damage penalty on hits) and need to change magazines/limited ammo supplies on the tail guns. A very dangerous aircraft nonetheless. If we had this game back then - not sure if there are any Red Dwarf fans here but we would never escaped this version of "Better Than Life" 😂 Great content GS, thanks for the memory of a somewhat nerdier previous life 👍🏼
Chester is a man of steel - bullets flying all around and the pilot's been shot and Chester just sits there emotionless - even looks a little bored - I'm surprised he wasn't reading the newspaper!
After so many weeks in combat, and witnessing so much horror, Chester is no longer bothered with toughts of mortality. In fact, combat is as exciting to him, as a walk in the park.
Ok, this is my favorite era of aviation, the rawness of the ice-cold wind in your face clatter of the machineguns, and the smell of castor oil, I think is what appeals to me, no parachutes, you live or you die. keep'em coming, BTW I'd love to see ME 262 and F86.dogfight each other.
The Bristol F2.B Fighter or simply Brisfit, was an absolute beast. The V12 it was fitted with made more than capable of holding its own against the later Central Powers aircraft, even the Fokker DVII
This is awesome, this is probably as close as you can get to real WWI aerial combat. it puts so many things into perspective about how hard it was and how daring the pilots were
I really thought Chester was going to do a "Henry Jones Sr." move, and blow your tail off lol. I think I am going to get Budenplatte, and Flying Circus based on your videos. This looks like tons of fun. I am not really interested in Stalingrad, but apparently I have to buy it in order to get the other two.
Only the rotary engines (the whole engine rotated) used the caster oil. The solution was another reason why the trench fodder applied for a job with a 1 in 21 chance of survival. They had a high protein diet, Bacon and eggs for breakfast steak or chops for dinner. The scarfs were for cold in an open windy cockpit loosing between 2 and 3 degrees of temperature every thousand feet they went up and they went up to twenty thousand! (no oxygen)
Great Video as usual. I have the original Rise of Flight version and use TrackIR, but the VR looks amazing. Flying a kite is being generous, more like a plastic bag in a gale lol.
If you get a chance, you gotta give FC a shot in VR. RoF was good, but they're porting everything over to FC and have mentioned plans for new planes like the Snipe.
Fighter pilots wore scarves so they didn't rub their necks raw when constantly turning their heads searching for aircraft. That continued through WWII. That it kept oil off their faces in WWI was a bonus.
I got flying circus today, had my first vr flight ever, my first vr dogfight, and my first vr midair collision, followed by my first vr deathspiral to the ground. I then took a break and went back to using a head tracker for the time being.
@@gregc6535 using the quest 2 with link cable, had no issues using it, main difference with head tracker is being able to see the keyboard for binds(most of my stuff is bound to hotas anyway) vr is much more immersive, the plane seems so much bigger and its much easier to use sights, the only down side is identifying thing super far away but you can bind a zoom key for that.
one of the other reasons for the scarfs and jackets was because of the cold air. The temperature drops the higher up you get, add to that wind chill because of the wind, and also rain.
These have become my favourite videos of late. If you could get someone to fight you one on one on this (or rise of flight) I'd be super happy. It'd be interesting to compare the planes in action.
Hey Growling, came across your WWI, Flying circus thanks to you video's. Pick up a copy, Looking forward to the VR, running the G2. Looks like a lot of fun. Great video's sir
The biplane layout provided important structural support for the wings, which in the early days was more important than visibility. With a bit of practice, you get used to where to look and how to wiggle the plane to check your blind spots. The second person was usually referred to as the observer, and they would operate the camera for photo reconnaissance, radio telegraph for artillery observation and fire correction, and the gun was mostly a secondary duty.
Chester: Congratulations Jester for becoming RIO in f 14 so tell me who’s your pilot in that f 14 Jester: Growling sidewinder Chester: *Surprise pichaku face
It was a common idea among pilots of that era that it's important to be able to "smell your enemy" - and it was a reason why many of them were alienated by the idea of closed cockpits.
Always had a soft spot for the F2b. It turned into an effective fighter once pilots flew it as you did (i.e., as a fighter first) and let the tail gunner do his thing keeping your tail clean.
Castor oil was, indeed, the old-school laxative. I doubt that getting some to the face was that big an issue. The bigger issue was the oil getting on the goggles and impairing the pilot's view. Between the cold temperatures at altitude, the scarves helped keep the neck (and sometimes face) warm while allowing freedom of movement, and the scarf was used to wipe the engine-oil spray off their own goggles.
Good point on the castor oil. I used to volunteer at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in NY where there was several original rotary engine WWI planes. It does cause that laxative issue for the pilots. Thankfully i never was around it for hours on end like the pilots in the war did. Also the scarfs were made of silk and primarily helped keep the pilots necks from getting rubbed raw by constantly looking around for enemy.
Pleeaaaaase please please keep doing these. I fkn love WW1 aviation and I’m loving this. Also see if you could do a camel or SE5 gameplay vid😍 Those are amazing aircraft
Sorry mate, but I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. Ya gotta luv Uncle Chester though, what a bloke. LOL I remember as a kid, my parents making us take a teaspoon of Caster Oil before bed. The stuff takes like crap and thus makes you crap your pants. Ah yes, growing up in the late 1950's.
Honestly I wanna fly one of these. Looks super easy from the sheer amount of FLOAT. Also the fact that they had to cover their faces to prevent the “absolutely BRUTAL laxative” from making them shit themselves is hilarious while being horrible.
Watching this WW1 content is fascinating. You can get a feel for how personal and chaotic it was for those pilots. Of course he was a buffoon but Hermann Goring used to chastise WW2 pilots for their tactics but you can kind of see how different it was.
Dude, Chester doesn't give no f#$%s the side your on, he just wants to light some shit up with them guns. Someone tell that blue falcon to calm down and get a midstrength beer
In the span of a few years we went from planes that could barely lift their own weight off the ground to fighters operating at 20000 feet. Fun fact: ramming was considered a valid tactic and was how a Russian claimed the first air to air victory.
It’s likely you have far more flying hours under your belt than most of the Royal Flying Corps did when they first engaged in battle. I’d be interested to see what you make of the Se5a, is that available to fly? Re Castor oil, that was on total loss engine oil systems found in rotary engines, the in line six and eight v engines had oil sump designs and pump fed feeds .
Yep, the SE5a is available, and is one of my favorite aircraft, along with the Bristol. Absolutely right about the oil system for rotary vs inline and vee engines.
A bit of Courage, a patch of Silk, and all the Castor Oil you can shite yourself with... 0~o Sounds like a simply smashing good time was had by all... ^~^
Got vertigo watching.. My last gamming was CFS2 20yrs ago. I was low tech then, and am clueless as to where/ how I'd get into the type of system/equipment needed. Thanks, Happy Trails
I heard the scarf was needed to save the pilot's neck. In VR, you also moved your head up and down, from left to right, and the jacket was made of a tough, rough material that rubbed terribly against the neck. Hearting it badly.
I enjoy watching your videos, particularly the WW1 WW2 videos. Perhaps soon they will have smell-o-vision and you can enjoy the smoke and powder smells!
I assume you have seen Aces High with Malcolm McDowell. The whole movie time was about one or two weeks in the fighting if I remember correctly. Surviving more than that was a miracle...

Your gunner has the "thousand-yard" stare of the shell-shocked.
Caster oil poopy pants
This WWI content is really good, its really nice to see these planes flying like paper lol, the VR is really nice as well! Keep it up
Yep, keep tugging on that line, a kites only as good as the guy pulling the strings.
To make vr even more realistic I suggest a large dose of exlax prior to booting up the game. Might as well get the full effect. 🙄
What is that

The Bristol fighter, my favorite in Rise of Flight, online with a friend on the gunners seat, good times.
5:25 Me: what do you mean service pistol, it's not like he's gonna surv.... Oh... Damn.
Man, Chester is really pissed at you. Probably coz you went inverted at 7:52 nearly killed him, luckily he had on glue boots so didn't fall out.
In the context of that castor oil. I think maybe Chester isn't too excited about being in your 'splash-zone' like that.. Lol.

Amazing simulation, nice flying too, thx.
There's nothing quite like a WWI furball. It's incredible to watch, far more intense than pretty much any other scenario I've seen.
Jester is too busy listening to "the only thing they fear is you" to pay attention to ya
Hopefully it was a "Blighty" wound you got there. Thanks so much for these amazing videos....you're tempting me to rush off and buy a VR headset now.
Well, at least Chester didn't bail out on you like Jester has done lol.

Dang it. Im convinced now. Next sale and I'll buy Flying Circus for IL-2. Can't wait for full carrer and campaign in vol.2
Such a refreshing and fun video. Thanks gs

A bit of Courage, a patch of Silk, and all the Castor Oil you can shite yourself with... 0~o Sounds like a simply smashing good time was had by all... ^~^
Hahah Jester's Grandfather....
Got vertigo watching.. My last gamming was CFS2 20yrs ago. I was low tech then, and am clueless as to where/ how I'd get into the type of system/equipment needed. Thanks, Happy Trails
I heard the scarf was needed to save the pilot's neck. In VR, you also moved your head up and down, from left to right, and the jacket was made of a tough, rough material that rubbed terribly against the neck. Hearting it badly.
ya scarfs serve many purposes, we are referring to the scarf being pulled over the face.
I enjoy watching your videos, particularly the WW1 WW2 videos. Perhaps soon they will have smell-o-vision and you can enjoy the smoke and powder smells!
loving these ww1 dog fights
Looks like Danny Kaye with a false 'tache in the back seat.
I assume you have seen Aces High with Malcolm McDowell.
The whole movie time was about one or two weeks in the fighting if I remember correctly.
Surviving more than that was a miracle...
