Olham 164 Posted November 16, 2009 Holy Moly! Yes, those Jasta 18 boys can scare the s. out of you! I remember getting shot down in my pretty well going 1918 SPAD XIII campaign. I had managed to avoid a D VII and let is overshoot - only to get jumped at by another ace in a red and white Dreidecker from right above! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Thanks Chaps...yes, I was using TrackIR...and got the shock of my life!.... Have never had an Enemy A/C that close to my tailpipe! You will be relieved to know, that Lord Flash evaded the evil Hun, and was home in time for Tea and Medals!

I was wondering how work was going on the flaming onions. And that new burning fuel slick and debris on the water looks very good. Can't wait to try it out. Olham, we've always had such races. You just pick out a few bridges, set the course, and see how fast you can fly under each of them without killing yourself. Do it the Bruno Stachel way. Cheers! Lou .

Olham 164 Posted November 22, 2009 Well, Mike - the S.E.5 hunting the Eindecker, that would not have happened surely. This picture demonstrates, how much development happened in 4 - 5 years. RAF_Louvert: Do it the Bruno Stachel way. Naw! Although I am more like Stachel than like MvR, I'll keep it with MvR here, who said about looping and such manoeuvers: "I'm not in this for artistics!" (or similar). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeDixonUK 5 Posted November 22, 2009 It's a Bristol Scout actualy I'm afraid, I have to say though that it's a very tricky business trying to hit anything with the tracers turned off and a wonky gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xjouve 0 Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) Yes, it's a pretty staged representation of an air interaction, which is kind off the fun of it really - to produce a pseudo-realistic version of an impressionistic source image. The painting is signed 'J. Willey' and was given to my grandfather as a present. It is about 12' x 9' and is painted oil on board. It's condition is not great, but I will have it restored one day. I think it was painted at the time by another member of 16 Squadron, possibly 3097 Pte J. Willey, Lancers, attached RFC (reported KIA in Flight No. 471 January 3rd 1918), although this is very hard to confirm It looks like the artist sat down side on to a BE and painted it in profile and then filled in the rest, including a very imaginary EIII, which I love. Hi gentlemen, Not sure if it has been said already, but this German plane most likely looks like a Taube to me rather than an Fok E. :) Regards, Xavier source: http://greatwar.nl/w...ures/taube.html Edited November 23, 2009 by xjouve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted November 23, 2009 Hi, Xavier! Are you flying OFF ? If so, would you send me a PM with your hometown and country, please? I'd like to add you to the OFF Pilots Map. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted November 26, 2009 Not a screenshot anymore, really. I liked the evening scene, and began adding the lights in Photoshop. After a while, I was partly painting and tweaking the whole picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
