Oh wow.

Aside from the backend kind of stuff to sort out stuff like the maxplayers and such - the N.28C is now a killing machine. It's fast, it'll turn well (so long as you're fast and use vertical manouvers) - and you actually have an easy-to-use sight, now.

Just took it up in Russian Roulette - 4 kills without any of the assists turned on at all, it flies like a dream. Was even able to kill a Spad XIII which until now has been impossible for me in any of the planes in 1v1AI.

I think I have a new favourite plane.

Is the server actually working? I updated it yesterday teatime, and my client, but I couldn't connect to the server (download error). I didn't have time to look at it, and so I assumed one of you would sort it.

I too am getting the download error.

Try adding an under_score to the server title to change it up a little - just in case the usual name is stuck in the cache somewhere, like we talked about before on TS.

I suspect others may be getting it as well, as the server has been empty all evening. :eek:


S!

I've been talking to Brian on TS.. for some reason our server is not allowing the download of custom missions. He's in contact with the RoF DEVs and will get back to us asap.

Epoch i found out some other stuff too.. that i need to talk to you about.

Purchased.. and I've added two to each mission ;)

Previous localisation files work...so peeps don't need to download the files again.

Let me know what you think of it... but to my reckoning it's one of the best planes in the game now. Same engine as the Pfalz and Fokker but a lighter plane so faster - and better visibility over the DIV, and feels more manouverable tho I think it's got a higher stall speed.

At low altitude it's going to be lethal :D




EDIT: Flying it this evening, I'm four confirmed kills in one evening, or exactly 1/4 of the total number I've earnt in total on MP since getting the game. It's a killer.
