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"

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??

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)

I think it's That Time - time to just come out with it, and claim the old champ's title, for once and for all:

 

RED BARON

Over Flanders Fields

Well, RAF_Louvert, Creaghorn and I would probably agree, but Herr Fokker would call his solicitors, Carrick!

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...)

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

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

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,

Like your forum picture Richard. I live in 'Constable country', Flatford Mill is not too far away, beautiful place, well worth a visit.

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.
