Olham 164 Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) What is in the Picture? - The P4 Screenshot Quiz Just had another stroll through all the lovely new screenshots, and had this idea for a quiz. I will show excerpts from screenshots, and ask questions about them. The first person who can answer all points correctly, will take over and make the next excerpt and ask 3 questions. If the winner cannot make a new picture with his equipment, he will have to name another candidate for the next one. What do you say? To make it easier, I have here the link to the Screenshots: http://overflandersf...view/index.html Here is the first picture. The questions are: 1. What screenshot number is the excerpt taken from? 2. Which aircraft's cockpit is this? 3. What was the wooden mallet at the bottom used for? Here we go! ...

Olham 164 Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) Wow, THAT was fast! So fast, that I'm afraid, the others hadn't even noticed this new thread yet. Congrats, Creaghorn - all three points are correct, Sir - so the next turn is yours now! Edited April 20, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted April 20, 2011 This Quiz-thread, Slarti - before anyone knew it was here, Creaghorn had "shot the questions down" so to say. Or if you asked for the new screenshots: see the link in my first post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burning Beard 14 Posted April 20, 2011 I never really checked on the VII before, the XIII has had a mallet in it since Phase 1. Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaghorn 10 Posted April 20, 2011 ok, here are my three questions. 1. What town is this? 2. what AC is seen in the pic? 3. what indicates you that this pic is taken from a QC flight and not from a real campaign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) ok, here are my three questions. 1. What town is this? 2. what AC is seen in the pic? 3. what indicates you that this pic is taken from a QC flight and not from a real campaign? I'll venture.. 1. Ypres. 2. Sopwith Snipe. 3. The buildings aren't a shattered ruin Edited April 20, 2011 by Lewie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaghorn 10 Posted April 20, 2011 I'll venture.. 1. Ypres. 2. Sopwith Snipe. 3. The buildings aren't a shattered ruin unfortunately not right. at least partially, but i won't spoil which one is right or wrong so others have a chance. for the last question please a short explanation why you think you answer is right.

Lewie 7 Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) I'm sorry, but you'll have to be content with a longer answer.. Well this is all speculative, considering we're guessing about screenshots from the developer's latest improvements and we're not in the knowledge loop about whether they've actually run the clock forward to reflect the level of damage to the buildings. You can fly any aircraft in QC, irregardless of the time the active pilot(s) enlists. Edited April 20, 2011 by Lewie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dej 17 Posted April 20, 2011 (edited) It's Albert, not Ypres. Sorry Lewie. This famous image gives it away Albert Cathedral Edited April 20, 2011 by Dej Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 20, 2011 Hmmm - I hadn't thought about a rule for this result we have now. Lewie, you'll present the next screenshot and ask two questions. Dej shall ask the third question to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted April 20, 2011 I'm happy for Lewie to pose all the questions. I only sought to advance the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dej 17 Posted April 20, 2011 With the statue hanging off? Daft question. Of course it will be. You guys would settle for nothing less. There simply is NO finer simulation of WW1 in the air, period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 20, 2011 Lewie, just in case you don't know how to catch a screenshot from the link: Press "Print" on your keyboard (top right). Then open "Paint" or something like that, and press Ctrl. + V to insert the pic. Cut it down to the desired area and save it as JPEG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted April 20, 2011 I was going to say Amiens, but Our Lady of Amiens Cathedral looks nothing like this... and the steep pitch of the town house buildings in Creaghorn's image reminded me of Ypres, I was mistaken to think the toppled statue was on the Amiens Cathedral. So I get to do the next one, it's a bit like Breguet's Aircraft challnges on The Aerodrome eh? Hmmm.. 1. What is the Aircraft in this cockpit image? 2. Was there alternative ways of carrying the ammo drums, and what were they and where were they mounted? 3. The lever just aft of the fuel pressure gauge, what was it's function?

Olham 164 Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Okay, when no one else wants to try it, I deliver a guess here: 1. DH-2 2. Lewis drums, to be mounted on top of a Lewis machine gun. They were also carried outside in a rig along the cockpit rim. 3. I guess, that it is a trim handle, to make inflight elevator trimming possible?

Olham 164 Posted April 21, 2011 Okay, we should also have pics with only one or two questions, to make it easier. Here is my next picture: 1) What is the name and type no. of this fighter? 2) Name one major difference to it's predecessor 3) What are those "ear-type" things left and right of the craft's nose?

Albatros DII 2.It had it's upper wing set lower to improve the pilots field of view. The fuselage to upper wing cabane struts where changed from a set of inverted "V"s to the "N" struts with this model. 3. Those are the paired fuselage mounted engine radiators, this was changed when mounted in upper wing center with the DIII. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaghorn 10 Posted April 21, 2011 Okay, we should also have pics with only one or two questions, to make it easier. Here is my next picture: 1) What is the name and type no. of this fighter? Albatros DII 2) Name one major difference to it's predecessor the Albatros DI had a worse forward-view. That's why they rearranged the upper wing and the cabane struts. the changed version was then the albatros DII. 3) What are those "ear-type" things left and right of the craft's nose? radiators, although this "ear" design was soon dropped again.
