( focusing on a two-seater, Brisfit for example) OFF: Circus, Camels and Storks OFF: Spandau vs Vickers OFF: Lonely knights vs wolfpacks OFF: Home before the wings fall With an illustration focusing on a victorious plane: OFF: Killer angels OFF: Lasts of the knights OFF: Aces on the rampage OFF: Victoria Cross, red cross, or wooden cross (featuring a British victorious fighter) OFF: Iron Cross, red cross, or wooden cross (featuring a German victorious fighter) OFF: May the best man survive ! OFF: Audaces Fortuna juvat ! With an illustration focusing on a downing, flaming plane: OFF: Angels falling OFF: Vae victis !

+Olham Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) The "Great War" was the time of the aircraft with rotaries, and the time for turn-fighting with much use of rudder. That hasn't been in any title so far. Perhaps we could come up with a good one for those aspects? Like: Over Flanders Fields "Turn Fighters & Rotaries" . Edited October 21, 2011 by Olham Quote
gaw Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 someone's gonna ring the bell.............can't wait to hear what the devs decide...they probably got a name already and this is so much backstage puntering!!! Meantime...how cool were the last Aviatik pix....eh?? Quote
Wayfarer Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Kind of fierce , but ... OFF: Aim For The Man (My natural tendency would be for something poignant, but I don't think OFF: Till The Boys Come Home would be the sort of message they'd be looking for) Quote

HumanDrone Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I'm enjoying the humorous entries here, but if it evolved into a contest of sorts, I'd go with "OFF: Crosses of Honor" or "OFF: On a Wing and a Prayer". I don't get to fly OFF too much, I've been terribly busy, but a new box comes in tomorrow and I plan a full reconfiguration - the new combat rudder pedals, joystick and throttle are sitting there waiting, and the TrackIR is in the closet as well - my old machine didn't have enough ports to plug all this in. Ya know, "Crosses of Honor" could refer to either the medals or the grave markers. One thing I've grown to appreciate from "flying" these birds is the sheer bravery of the men who piloted these things. Sometimes I fire it up just to watch that stunning opening video by Polovski. Brings tears to my eyes. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to P4! ETA: Holy mackerel! Didn't know the thread was so hot! There must have been a dozen posts while I was composing this! ETA again: I'm a complete idiot. I'd only read page 1... ETA a third time: Has anyone suggested "OFF: Spin, Crash and Burn" (for the humor section...) Edited December 6, 2011 by HumanDrone Quote
+Olham Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 You're funny, HumanDrone! And since you show your location, I might as well add you to our "OFF Pilots Maps". Quote
+Dej Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 I was thinking it needn't be radically different, even if P$ is almost new build. I suggest OFF: Hell Above (assuming no one else already has). It's an advance, so to speak, on 'Between Heaven and Hell' but keeps its family history Quote
+Olham Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Good point, Dej! What about OVER FLANDERS FIELDS "To Hell on Wings" or, since the devs built that addon/mod for Red Baron 3D, they can perhaps use this name again: OVER FLANDERS FIELDS "Hell's Angels" Quote
carrick58 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Good point, Dej! What about OVER FLANDERS FIELDS "To Hell on Wings" or, since the devs built that addon/mod for Red Baron 3D, they can perhaps use this name again: OVER FLANDERS FIELDS "Hell's Angels" Fokkers Above , Albatros 's Below. ( This could also be called an OFF Sandwich with Sopwiths in the Center) Hell on Wings Two Wings above No Mans Land. Enemy in Sight Enemy Ahead ( My Apologizes to the Dam Buster Sqn) No Mans Land Ahead Combat Sqns in France Burning Coffins Wings and Wires Quote
Britisheh Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I propose a radical change to something that nevertheless has a familiar ring and that evokes an element of the sim which all have experienced, namely: 'Under Flanders Fields' Hi there Dej, Isn't that where most of the pilot's end up, or rather down? Cheers, Britisheh Edited December 6, 2011 by Britisheh Quote
Britisheh Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 OVER FLANDERS FIELDS "The First Aces" OVER FLANDERS FIELDS "Early Aces" . Hi there Olham, I like "The First Aces Genunine, Historically correct, Politically correct ( Axis/ Allies), ....................not flashy, just a clear statement. Cheers, Britisheh Quote
+Dej Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Like your forum picture Richard. I live in 'Constable country', Flatford Mill is not too far away, beautiful place, well worth a visit. Quote
+Olham Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Thank you, Richard. And true, Dej - but then, most I saw of England and Wales seemed very, very beautiful to me. I must travel "Old Blighty" again - worth more than three journeys indeed. Quote
