Scary spin recovery. Try pushing the nose over and provide opposite rudder. At least that what they taught me when I was learning to fly. Should work like a charm!

Hi. Great show, sad ending. April 21st...very authentic. It was the day Manfred Ricthofen died...though historians now seem to lean towards it being Australian ground machine gun crews that brought him down and not Brown. Anyway, the sim stayed historically correct and the Red Baron bought it. Would be great to see a new WWI air series, Taff. Cheers.

Good content that also raises my appreciation for the combat aviators of this era. It seems these early versions of their own aircraft could give the pilot an additional set of problems they would need to stay on top of - in addition to fighting their enemy.

"Alles kaput." I love Rise of Flight, but the damage model in Flying Circus looks interesting... I'm just getting into the IL-2 series, unfortunately there is no career mode in FC.

When flying the Sopwith Camel, apply a touch of left rudder when banking right. The Camel will turn on a dime, better than any other aircraft and this is its best feature. Use this to your advantage.

The WWI dogfights is where VR really pays off. I prefer VR in combat flight sims anyway, I just have far more spatial awareness overall, plus it's far easier to sight in your shots. But in the WWI kites, it's so much easier when you're trying to see around all the crap in your field of view. Of course, the downside is having the damn thing strapped to your head, and it's a bit of a neck workout after a couple of hours of twisting all over to see. Lol. But it is incredibly immersive. Which is good, because I find most VR games in general to be kind of dumb. Though it is also a lot of fun in racing sims as well. But I do have a half-assed sim cockpit set up in my bedroom. And one of these days I'll get around to printing up some of the stuff Authentikit has on their site for that little extra bit of realism. Especially when they are able to finish up the Mustang and Mosquito rigs. Hoping someone has the interest over there to do a German rig as well at some point.

Sorry you didn't make it old boy, damn good show all the same, pip pip! I wonder if the British pilots of WW1 had been issued with parachutes, how many lives would have been saved and how more effective the Royal Flying Corps/RAF would have been as a result of the survival of experienced pilots? My (admittedly sketchy) understanding is that the high command (who probably had impressive mustaches?) deemed it 'impractical' to give a man a very expensive machine and also give him the means to 'flunk out' at the first sign of danger? Forward thinking right there. Am I mis-informed? The Germans had parachutes for sure. Appreciate any feedback (unless it's derogatory). Pax dudes.

Yessss more il2 wwi content! Maybe you could create a campaign for yourself involving some of the other wwi planes in the game. I've seen the spring offensive and Kaiserslaut campaign or however you spell it. It's a doozy

When you said, there's no way to bail out anyway, I'm reminded of a 'newer' WW1 historical novel called 'Hornet Squadron' (By Derek Robeson, the same author who wrote the WW2 historical aviation novel, 'A Piece of Cake"). The salty and cynical squadron leader mocked his less experienced pilots for carrying revolvers so they can shoot themselves so they don't burn to death. As he put it, the only REAL vital spot on a WW1 era plane WAS the pilot and you're probably going to be shot dead before you get set on fire, anyway.
