@@SirMatthew 🤣

I didn't know that either, this was when I found out 🤣

If it was that was a sure sign to move on to the next game XD

Oh dang I forgot to put it in the description. It's Flying Circus 1 which is part of IL-2. Best physics in the business I say!

Ha, sure it's not very graceful and I used it more as a joke since the whole video was just us goofing around before a bombing mission. But if you're interested, Ed Haley recorded this on a wax cylinder late in his life for his friends, early last century. He's a very influential fiddler from West Virginia and we're lucky to have recordings like these when the technology was not widely available.

Cheers! This was the start of a sortie on the Knights of the Sky server last weekend, fully armed up bombs and all, waiting for a squadmate to get his arse in gear. We used to have a little display flying team in Rise of Flight, so it was nice to dust off some of the routine again :D

It's still Jorri, but with an =IRFC= tag now! I only picked it up again recently. How about you, still flying biplanes? Seeing some cool WWII vids on your channel.

@@JorisKoolen I've been sticking to 190s on apollo lately, haven't found any active WWI stuff during my hours. I'll keep an eye out for you!

Cheers! Thankfully we just got the FE.2b flying bathtub, and soon we'll be able to fly the RE.8, and they confirmed even more development of WWI planes.

@@JorisKoolen yay! I hope we get stuff that wasn't even in ROF, like rumplers and aviatiks and BE2s and such

@@justinove7521 Oh man, fingers crossed! And we should at least get the Walfisch :D

@@JorisKoolen I found blueprints for some Rumpler and Aviatik and Albatros C types in a contemporary French journal and posted them on the forums, who knows if they'll do anything with them though.

Sadly my track ended before the big dogfight, on account of me being a burning pile on the ground by that time 😅 cheers!

He certainly wasn't their friend 🤔

I also like how they made do with what actual airplanes and models and footage from other movies they had available. You can see Nieuport 17's turning into 11's and Belgian roundels becoming French and back. And it still holds up 😂

Sound about right for those planes!

This is from an episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. They're worth watching, even though they can be quite hammy.

Yes.

There's a beautiful Albatros in a museum in Antwerp that looks a lot like the one in this clip

That barrel roll was something else. I wonder if that was actually a flying model, though!

No, Baron Manfred Von Richtofen, aka The Red Baron. Fat Hermann Goering took over the squadron after Von Richtofen was killed.

@@dhall058 Thanks Dave.

Frenchman .?

Anglophones are known to never learn foreign languages !

Actually there was reported to be one in 1976 but on further investigation it turned out he was Belgian

I think I'm gunna stick to warthunder before my ass bricks my steam deck trying this shit 😅😅😅

Televison

It's an episode of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles

Yeah, I think it did a good job riding the fine line between action adventure and history, you don't see that a lot

It's a movie Bro its entertainment made to amuse people excitement sells . Plus no comment on the exit wounds (lol)

Of course it's just historically inspired entertainment...I feel it still does a better job of portraying the history than many more modern productions, and it feels a lot more grounded. As for climbing out on the wing, perhaps not to check the gear but it's not much stranger than things that actually did happen, like a pilot stepping on the wing to avoid the flames after their engine catches fire, while still reaching into the cockpit to control the airplane.

*snorts* *fixes glasses* "Sho much stuff here that wash impossible." 🤓🤓🤓🤓

Also, the Red Baron flies a biplane, whereas he had a triplane actually and that too in red.

@@amjadmuhammadiqbal4721 That part is actually accurate. He flew red biplanes for most of his career. He only flew the triplane for a short time after he returned to flying after his injury that grounded him. He was killed in it. Richthofen usually flew either an Albatross DIII or a Halberstadt DIII. I think he flew an Albatross DV for awhile but did not like it as much as the DIII.

.... if one was lucky

"tea and medals"

Tally ho

black adder? :)

Yeah, but he shot down a whole lotta bastards along the way. 😝

Having fought a war as a teenager in the early 1980s I can attest to the fact that no matter how "good" you are, if you stay in the conflict long enough, something will happen to you. It is just a numbers game.

The Red Baron may had been killed by ground fire.

You're rediculous!

I'm afraid the Steam version is currently already not working, and the problem doesn't seem to be related to Steam, I'm afraid you won't have better luck :(

@@JorisKoolen OK thanks.. what if windows was installed to the steam deck.. you think it would work then?

Yes, most games will run off the windows Os if you install/ dual boot, or run off an sd card although not recommended. Id say dual booting is amazing, it can be quite a process though. One side note: be careful of your Chanel type and update if dual booting, recently had preview and update came and wiped out both os, but luckily I was able to recover from usb 👍🏻

I have no experience with this, so thanks for sharing yours!

@@JorisKoolen here is a link for the process i followed, depending on your ssd storage...czcams.com/video/KaviK55od6Y/video.html

Gyro for the view worked quite well when I tried it, but it was a bit too involved for the couch potato experience I was looking for!

Unfortunately, since a recent update (a few months back actually), it no longer runs on Steamdeck. I just tried it again and it still hasn't been fixed.

@@JorisKoolen dang that sucks why not try 1946?

@@Valkaze111 I'm mostly interested in WWI, unfortunately Rise of Flight also didn't work (that would have been perfect)

@@JorisKoolen oh well ill try and see if i can manage to set up il2 sturmovik 1946 cause it looks like its playable
