I can't wait to find out how Wayfarer does fighting the einie's in P4.

 

 

I just saw the pics! The sheer atmosphere of them, apart from anything else, is an inspiration.

Now whenever I get P4 I am going to have to start my BE2 campaign all over again!

Dej, you are right, that particular shot is so evocative.

As for the rifle, if anyone wanted to provide a Taube for me to take pointless pot shots at, that would be an entertainment in itself.

Of course, once the they become more than an anonymous back of a head, and my survival starts depending so much on them, I am going to have to start naming my observers. Then I 'll have a double feeling of virtual guilt when I get them both killed!

Extracurricular!!!!..............is that a superlative? Never mind....whetting the appetite for the feast to come....beautiful!

An authentic BE2 and now a BE12 as well? I'm absolutely staggered and delighted - I hope I had some hand in persuading you down this road. Well done, and many thanks...

That blue grey haze as the horizon fades away makes a big difference to things looking real and somehow artificial. Can't put my finger on the exact reason why, but I have to say you chaps have got it looking 100% spot on. P4 screenshot are going to look more real than ever.

I agree Olham - it looks so bleak and really captures the WWI feel.

I think my favorite part of these last group of photos is that every one is showing between 50 - 60 frames per second in the upper left hand corner. Nice optimizations gentlemen.

Any chance you would discuss some of those things?:no:

BTW I did actually hit something with the Lee Enfield too lol but you are pretty much fly swatting with a toothpick.

 

I'll drink to that.

 

I once got the opportunity to shoot down a model aircraft with a Gimpy on a firing range in Wales. We each got 500 or 1000 rounds (I forget now), and there were oil baths beside every gun to cool down the barrels. Most excellent fun, but much, much harder than it looks on TV. 60+ men, but in the whole day only 2 brought it down. I was credited with hitting it, but I didn't bring it down. I'll never forget it. We tabbed over the hill and saw this pale blue VW camper van sitting in the middle of nowhere with 4 gpmgs beside it. We all assumed it must be about car bombs, ambushes, check point duty or something, but when the man opened the door on these model aircraft, well, there's only so many ways that live rounds, machine guns, aircraft and big empty spaces go together. It brought a smile to everybody's face. I'm actually quite chuffed I didn't bring it down, because you had to go and fetch it if you did, and it might crash a mile away across a bog. 2 kills out of 60 attempts doesn't sound great, but it was all new experience, and it took 1000 rounds just to get your eye in. Army isn't daft you know, it's all worked out. :salute:

 

That was tough, with 1000 rounds of 4 bit which you could hose the tracer onto your target. Firing on aircraft 1 round at a time? Fly swatting with a toothpick says it just about right. Mind you, flying parralel and having a duel would change the odds, but aiming one of those in a 90mph wind? More likely hurt somebody on the ground by accidentally dropping the darn thing than actually shooting somebody with it.
