Olham Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Ooops!! That's "Kleinholz" now. (Fire wood) Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I thought I saw Bullets whizzing past my ear!...where the hell did he come from!??...Time for some serious Right Rudder! Quote
Olham Posted November 16, 2009 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! Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Yep..It never ceases to amaze me...the variety of ways to Die in this game are endless!...But Boredom aint one of them!! Quote
RAF_Louvert Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 . WM, that's an incredible screenshot! It looks nearly like a photo still from a movie. And I can see how he might have gotten your attention Sir. . Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted November 19, 2009 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! (and absolutely no photoshop tweaking..I promise!...this was for real) Edited November 19, 2009 by UK_Widowmaker Quote

Olham Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Maybe he had no ammo left, and wanted to kill you with his pocket knife? Quote

MikeDixonUK Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Flying a nice relaxing training sortie over sunny old England before being sent across the channel to have a pop at the Hun: Quote
Red-Dog Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 On a dark wet winters night what could be more fun than a OFF pylon race.... Quote
Olham Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 What?? We have a "Pylon Race" in OFF ??? Quote

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 . Quote
MikeDixonUK Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Here's a random screenshot I took during an early war quick battle while I try to find the best settings for the enbseries bloom thing: Quote
Olham Posted November 22, 2009 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). Quote
MikeDixonUK Posted November 22, 2009 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. Quote
Axgrinder Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Here are a couple of picks from recent missions with Vasco's boys. Here is some tight formation flying we were practicing ealier this week. Here is Stumper puting the old crate away after a mission. Edited November 22, 2009 by Axgrinder Quote
MikeDixonUK Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I got ordered to go on a recon mission at the start of a new campaign, so thought I may as well take a recon photo of when they told me to go look at: Quote
xjouve Posted November 23, 2009 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 Quote
Olham Posted November 23, 2009 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! Quote
Olham Posted November 26, 2009 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. Quote
