Olham 164 Posted April 12, 2009 Wow, Rooster (and Paarma) - are those black Albatros skins in the sim? What Jasta then? They look terrifying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rooster89 0 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) Thanks Widowmaker. The black and white E.III is probably the best shot I ever took! It's definately my personal favorite so far in my "collection". Olham: They sure are in game. The black Albatros' are the aces of Jasta 7. I was flying a Pfalz when I took that shot. The Alb with the white stag is Carl Degelows. The name of the pilot who flies the other with the white stripes has slipped my mind. -Rooster Edited April 12, 2009 by Rooster89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted April 12, 2009 (edited) So, Jasta 7, eyh? Haven't flown there yet. Must check, wether they are "offensive" enough for my temper - if so, I'll join them! Thanks, all! Edited April 12, 2009 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rabu 9 Posted April 12, 2009 Over Anxious and Over Stressed It was getting dark, it was bitterly cold and all we wanted to do was get back to the base where we knew Cdt. Brocard would be sure to have a warm fire waiting for us. No time to think about comfort, we literally ran into 3 EIII's on patrol. This was my moment.. we'd been dancing around each other for what seemed like hours, the adrenalin was up, I finally had the advantage. He was going into a dive, I jerked the stick to follow, I wasn't going to loose him now.. I had to stay on him.. We both screamed toward the dark river below us.. My fatal mistake, the Babe didn't like to be handled roughly and I had gone too far... a horrible sound of tearing fabric and wood splintering and then.. I looked back in horror to see my lower wing pin wheeling after me.. The German pilot could only stare in wonderment at his luck.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 12, 2009 Wow - superb screenshot of your "own kill" (Lol!) Didn't know, this happened to Nupes, too. Could you sail the plane, with engine low, then - or is that fatal? My newest screens are about my newest skin; so here's one, were I climb to kill R.E.8s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted April 12, 2009 Herr Olham, diese ist mein leibling entwurf von Mahlo, phantastisch. Der Flagge Deutscheland. Please pardon poor german. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 13, 2009 I hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter. I know I did. I even had some time this evening to work a bit on my latest paint skin for the Strutter 1 1/2. Here are a few screen shots of "L'Elephant de vol". Cheers! Lou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rickitycrate 10 Posted April 13, 2009 Very, very nice Lou. Looks like a believeable skin to me, authentic. Is it based on reality or strictly your imagination? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 13, 2009 Hey, that's something different for a change - a two-seater! May give Widow a headache - now he must even think about doing two-seaters! Lol! But why a French name? and are you sure, it wasn't "L'Elephant volant"? It has British concordes - why not "The Flying Elephant"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 13, 2009 Olham, you are spot on Sir, correct French for "The Flying Elephant" would indeed be L'elephant volant. However, this name goes back to a discussion had around the #5 RNAS Officer's Club one evening in which someone mentioned an article he had been reading on the element of flight. Commander Albertson then joked that in the case of the large, cumbersome 2-seaters it was more an elephant of flight, at which point his comrades christened the CO's plane "The Flying Elephant". However, Nels thought it would be funnier to have the moniker actually painted on in the French vernacular and in the literal translation of "The Elephant of Flight" in reference to his original joke. And Riketycrate, thank you Sir. I tried to give it a very authentic feel to the point of beginning with a vintage image from a French cigarette package for the elephant, which I then altered to my liking. I also took various graphic design ideas from actual Great War aircraft to help maintain that "genuine" feel. The real work was sorting out how I had to distort the design in order to have it look correct when it wrapped the 3-D model. The Strutter is not at all symmetrical in terms of how the skin wraps around it. Cheers! Lou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks Widowmaker. I'm considering a Harry Tate for the Aussies over in Egypt for my next 2-seater project. Nels has a distant cousin serving over there. Cheers! Lou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
