My god, Test Pilot, simply killing those Camels would do - you need not send their engines to the moon!

 

Just back from a scenic flight through towering clouds (did you notice, they are not killing you so easy no more?)

It was a scenery or feel of the kind, when you watch a sundown by the sea in your holidays - you can't stop making

another picture. Again my wingies were all over the battle and doing fine - and all returned. Not so the FE2b's...

 

Olham, These are some great screen shots. They look good enough for framing.

Thanks for my new screen saver.

From the looks of the flames on that PHOENIX I doubt it very seriously. Looks to me like his goose is cooked! BTW, what kind of plane is the allied one? It really looks like a Hanriot, but I know that the Hanriot isn't in BH&H. Is it a Strutter?

I agree it really looks like a Hanriot HD1 ...is that really a screenshot from BH&H or any previous version of the game? The graphic quality seems to be... "different" from what i'm used to see in this topic.

I'm sure it's from Stump's own little world in the Balkans.

Thank you, Rickity and Crossbone!

Today's midday flight could have been the end of Oberleutnant Mahlo and his "White Eagle".

 

Jasta 9, Vauxcere, July 29th, 1918

Oberleutnant Mahlo

 

This midday could have well been my last. We were requested to protect an important ballon NE of Soissons.

On our way there, I spotted three SPAD XIII and climbed, to intercept them, but they got hunted already -

four Fokker D VII F came out of the clouds and the tango began.

Before I got even near, they had shot all SPADs down. When our flight reached the ballon, Walter Blume and his

two wingmen were dogfighting with four SPAD XIII, near the spotter. I arrived just in time, to shoot one off

Blume's tail - it crashed immediately. But somehow, my 3, Kurt Strauf had also crashed.

 

Blume gave me signs, that they had used up their ammo, and would return to base. I began to climb to some

altitude, when I saw three SPADs approaching the spotter, at tree top level. We attacked fast and hard; and

I shot one at 11h32 and a second at 11h34; both were from Esc.81.

 

As we were told to remain in the area for at least 20 minutes, I began to climb again, only to find four more

SPADs coming the same way. They seemed absolutely determined to get this ballon down!

Now we were three Albatros D Va with half the ammo fired off, against four determined SPADs.

 

I sent Leber and Koch down for attack, and approached the highest SPAD. They were not THAT determined,

that they'd head on. They curved and turned really tight - much better than any of my previous opponents.

Not knowing, how much I had left, I gave the first one a good close burst, and then let him go, and picked

the second. He also got a good shower. One SPAD had got downed by my wingmen. But were where they now?

My neck hair raised - I was alone! They had shot down both my remaining wings within a moment!

 

Desperately I wondered: should I shoot one up totally and try to escape the other two? Or continue the "pepper

tactics"? Now, we almost turned on a plate, and I got hit lightly. Nose down, full rudder right, and pulling up

again got me behind one. He was so large in front of me - I fired one, two bad burst into him. He dived and

came up again - and got a third burst! And then: click! Ammo out! But the SPAD rolled on it's back, began a

fatal spin and crashed.

I tried to escape the other two, but out of ammo, at tree top level, you can't escape two SPADs firing, in an

Albatros. Hit severely; engine caught fire! Now I could only put her down as quick as possible. Still collecting hits,

I crashlanded in between trees. It's a miracle, that I survived. That was close!

 

When the soldiers on the lorrie, that took me to Soissons, saw my shaking knees (I couldn't get up there),

they produce a bottle of brandy, and twelve smiles for me - both did me good!

This midday could have well been my last.

 

Tough day at the office, eh Ohlam? Too bad about your pretty white Albatros. How long before you can get another one painted up?

[UK_Widowmaker 571]

Yes it is a Hanriot...and if you guys look somewhere other than here, you may find it in the addons section!

[stumpjumper 3]

I'm sure it's from Stump's own little world in the Balkans.

 

 

yeah over the nice adraitic, and as far as seeming a il differnt its some of my own twecks and sky textuers nothign worng wiht the ones made by the off team by anymeans i jsut like to tinker and see what i can do

[Olham 164]

Bullethead: Too bad about your pretty white Albatros. How long before you can get another one painted up?

 

For the skinning contest, I made so many now, there's plenty to choose from.

And I'm working on three more, on the last minute.

I really LOVE coming here to enjoy my morning coffee whilst I look over these outstanding screenshots. Many thanks to all those who take the time to capture and share these, along with their stories. Very entertaining stuff!

 

 

Cheers!

'Zeppelin Reaper' claims her first Kill over the English Coast

[Bullethead 12]

Wasting time with Paint Shop Pro....

 

I know nothing of art, so is this what you call "impressionism", or is it "post-impressionism", or is it just crap?

 

Anyway, everybody's getting all these beautiful, dramatic shots that I never seem able to catch, so I decided today to go in a different direction. Behold! PSP ain't just for making skins; I can also screw up perfectly good screenshots with it . I've attached both the before and after versions.

 

I set out to try to make something that looked like one of those old pen-and-ink drawings in old newspapers, but I discovered how to make this sort of "art" instead so just went with it. I'll get back to the newpaper drawing later.

[Macklroy 2]

Dont know what you're talking about with dramatic shots CW. That looks like a mighty fine pic right there! The edit you've done is great! I can't tell ya if its one style or the next, but it aint crap sir.

 

S!

UK, great screenie!

Hs a surealistic feel to her

[Bullethead 12]

Well, I wouldn't hang it on my own wall, even if there room for it between all the centerfolds

[UK_Widowmaker 571]

Thank you

[Olham 164]

Wow, a Zeppelin kill - great shot, Widow! Were did you meet that monster?

 

Bullet, go on with that "art work" - perhaps you could get famous (Lol!)

But why not make an Andy Warhol style Camel?

[Olham 164]

Here are some "last minute" skins. More pics and report at the "skinner's department".

[Snoopy syndrome 0]

Wow!!!

That burning zep is really an explosive screenshot!

I almost smell the flaming hydrogen.

 

I like very much the Albatros "red eagle" as well...maybe the best fictional skin i've seen yet.

[Bullethead 12]

But why not make an Andy Warhol style Camel?

 

With Campbell's Soup cans instead of roundels?

 

Seriously, would you put some blurry, impressionistic, absinthe-soaked watercolor painting of WW1 aircraft on your wall? I just did it for a joke.

ZEPPELINS OVER PARIS !

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greetings All,

 

I spent some time this weekend trying my hand at creating a custom mission for our favorite sim, and I have just placed it in our download section for you folks to try if you like. Here is the scenario:

 

A pair of zeppelins are staging a daring dusk raid on Paris. You must scramble your Camels, which are stationed on the northern edge of the city, and climb to intercept the airships before they can reach the Eiffel Tower. But beware, they have waves of escorting Hun fighters tagging along, and despite the help you will receive from the Spad VII's of ESC15 you will still have your hands full. Remember, your primary objective is to destroy the brace of zeppelins before they can reach the Tower. And one more warning, a certain ace from Jasta 37 and his wingman have been reported in the area as well, so watch out. Don't forget to use the Camel's outstanding climbing abilities to stay above the enemy fighters as best you can, and to reach the airships as quickly as possible. And if you are skillful enough to down your targets you will still have to fight your way back home and land safely.

 

 

I have flown it several times as a "DiD" mission with no TAC screen and no warp, and it was a BLAST! Very challenging and a lot of fun, and even more so when you can actually knock down the Zeps. The two screenies I've posted are of me getting my tail salted by an Alb that snuck up on me whilst I was snapping the pics.

 

Enjoy!

 

Lou

 

 

P.S. You will need the "ZeppelinL30" folder in your "aircraft" folder, and you can download that file from the following link: ZeppelinL30 files
