HouseHobbit Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Hi all, I have been having trouble landing the aircraft in OFF.. I come in level, slowly reducing altitude and speed.. Keeping the nose slightly up.. and when I hit the ground, BANG!! Hobbit pieces everywhere!! Any advice on How to land these canvas and wire things would be Most welcomed.. OFF to wreck more OFF..

Von Paulus Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Why do Hobbits always try to do things only in their own way? Quote
hood Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 A lovely approach.Can't think what you are doing wrong. Quote
+Olham Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Some don't need enemies, eyh, HouseHobbit? Good one! Edited July 18, 2012 by Olham Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 . HH, you're coming in too level. You want the rudder to touch first, then the top wing. . Quote
HumanDrone Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Glad to see you here, HH! So, uh, how are we going to sneak Taz's new Snoopy into this lovely Sim? Here's to you! Quote
AROTH Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Yep, those two round things on "top" are just for looks........ Quote
HouseHobbit Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Glad to see you here, HH! So, uh, how are we going to sneak Taz's new Snoopy into this lovely Sim? Here's to you! I have it in missions for OFF.. One Must have Snoopy in OFF.. The greatest Beagle Ace in WW1.. By the order of the Great Pumpkin..Himself Indeed.. None as brave or daring as Snoopy.. That is as soon as I learn to land these WWI Aircraft Quote
angles1100 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Now not to many people know this but if you look closely the lewis gun on your top wing is the infantry version thats your problem right there , the air version of the lewis has wheels on the magazine for just such occasions cheers Quote

I need a Lewis gun with wheels then.. Thanks very Much.. Can I put this on all of these canvas and wire things? It would help a lot in my landings.. Quote
HouseHobbit Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) HH - Nice to see you posting here... Thank you very much Sir.. This place needs a Hobbit to bend these canvas and wire things properly.. I just need a purple and pink polka dotted DR1 and Camel too.. We hobbits like such things.. Love a nice Hobbit special.. Just Have to learn to skin, these were gifts.. Edited July 29, 2012 by HouseHobbit Quote

angles1100 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Olham be thankfull he didnt say purple and pink polka dotted albatros cheers Quote
Von Paulus Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Not a bad idea. I would like to see an Albatros with a pink pony. Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 . I don't know guys, polka dots on DR1 could work. And Olham, I seem to recall we painted a pink Alb for you quite some time ago, complete with a cup of tea emblazoned on the side of it. . Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Pass the bucket chaps...dinner's on it's way back up! Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 . Yes, I just think of the tactical advantage that will give you in a dogfight when your opponent is busy trying to clean off the inside of his windscreen. . Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 . You know, if you dial back the color intensity, add outlines to the polka dots, and put the crosses back on the top wing surfaces, it almost becomes believable: ... almost ... . Quote
+Olham Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 And Olham, I seem to recall we painted a pink Alb for you quite some time ago... The Bordeauxred Baron: "Yes, you say quite rightly: YOU painted my Albatros pink! (Gasp!) Now, we Germans are very liberal about colourful fighter planes; everyone knows that! But pink Polka dots on purple aircraft can only originate from a Hobbit mind! In my Staffel, I would threaten the guys with execution for the case anyone would commit such forms of war crimes! Pink aircraft! (Barf! Vomit!! Thud!!!)" Unteroffizier Meyer: "Sani! Sanitäter!! The Baron has collapsed!" Quote
+Olham Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Raaaahhh!!! Do you guys think this is FUNNY?!? To maken an old veteran and highly decorated ace collapse by getting visual poisoning with enemy-bad-taste?!?!? Von Paulus, you too?!?!? Tch!!! Shame on you all!!! Moderators! Help!!
