The shape looks British to me...but may well be worn by a German pilot as RFC equipment was much favored by the other side... I may be wrong about the date and probably am, as I found a beter footage of the same movie session and the lighting conditions implaying a bright sunny day, no spec of snow in the horison so... Here is your Voss look alike? pilot Olham for better comparison: If you ask me, I don't think he is...

Oh no, and I've been waiting for almost a month... no honey for me either !!!

You are right about the goggles Olham they were privately purchaced also the 1915 patern flieced coat that was issued to Flight troops was originaly issued to track drivers. Who do you think is Voss? I think he had to be dead by the time this movie was taken (IMO early 1918).

RIP

Amazing, with a pair of eyes adapted for that kind of environment and way more advanced,(for the job), than the human eye, not to even mention that little digital camera...

So do I!

No, not yet... Shippings from outside EU are commonly delayed by the Custom Service here... Still waiting...

I think the attacking aircraft is a DH2...

Come on then!

Hi guys, Dave, (USAFMTL), the other day, asked me for an Israeli F-15 pilot. Real life obligations and a computer meltdown halted me for a while. Yesterday, I gathered the info I was fishing all this time and started over... In the pic below you can see pilots from the mid 60s and 70s to 80s and 90s with different helmet-mask configurations according to historical documentation. The F-15 and F-16 pilots in the pic are equiped with the first generation DASH helmet (Display And Sight Helmet) from the 90s. Also sporting the official type (F-15, F-16) efficiency patch on the right upper sleeve. All pilots also bearing an Israeli flag patch on the left upper sleeve... More research to be done to have them nailed... More to come from the 50s and early 60s up to date.

This is Great and very usefull for future "reports"... Thanks!

Welcome dokken1212, I feel your anxiety as I'm in the same state as you...waiting ! There is a lot of good reading around here, that will help you in every aspect.

I agree with von Baur on this matter. In other sims I've played (IL-2, RoF with Pat Wilson's CG), squadmates get medals and promotions under the same criteria as the player does. The developers should give some more note to this parameter.

I was lurking at "The Aerodrome" once more, when I bumped on a topic about weathering WWI models and found this: http://s1011.photobucket.com/albums/af234/Jamo_kiwi/ Check out the sub-folders... James Fahey's Photobucket (Jamo_kiwi) account, which he has kindly left unlocked so all can view. James has taken a lot of excellent photos of The Vintage Aviators WW1 machines that are base at Hood Aerodrome, in Masterton New Zealand. This should give you great idea how some of the machines weathered and wore.

About Hellshade's thoughts of a community P 3.5 mod and the the "nortoriously difficult to program", AI, I'll give you an example of what the IL-2 modding community has achieved, as an IL-2 Modder myself. We were told that the "game engine" restricted the developers to correct the funtamental AI flaws shared by all the sims that start to be developed at the beginning of 21st century.(ie AI super vision, super flying ect). When the modders took the game code though and start tweaking it with Java, miraculously the former unsolvable problems seemed to be starting solved, one by one. Now in Modded IL-2, (soon in the official 4.10 patch), the AI can no longer see through clouds, (the AA guns also), they can overheat nor trim perfectly, (according to skill), can sustain visible hydraulic failures according to damage and many other "impossible" things I cannot recall right now that proved that the developers in reality didn't spare any time and resources to address them, (just because they saw no profit behind them). As I'm not at all an OFF expert, giving this info as food for thought and I just hope for the best for Phase 4...

Not only... You missed the Hi-res folder with 22 more mega images ! And to complete the Albatros madness here is the same plane flying: Dedicated to Herr Olham !

Oh, that is Great! I feel like I'm at school again with so much WWI reading, lately. Thank you so much for this!

These are Great news guys! Keep up Herr Prop-Wasche... Nice piece of alternative history there Dej... I, in my last Campaign, (in RoF), had flamed Albert Ball during Bloody April '17, (still flying Nieuport),* to be killed in vain a few missions later, in a collision with a hard manoeuvring Sopwith Tripe, just upon the announcement of my decoration with the "Pour le Merite"... *No mystery for his death in my alternative history whatsoever. :yes:

Hi swampey, I'm too a RoF owner and share the same impression as you... Great graphics and physics engine but hollow inside... For the last month or so I found myself lurking here at OFF Forum almost every day and finaly last week, after the encouragment of OFF's GREAT community, ... I took the plunge myself and ordered P3, even if I was having second thoughts about the delivery by mail in EU. I'll get the HitR expantion just after the game arrives safely in my hands. I hope for the best.

Yes really stunning! And the colors so well blended together! One little objection though... I thing it would have been better if the portraits be placed as facing each other. Thay way they are now is a bit destructing the twirling dynamics of the center image... Or there is some hidden semantics I'm missing?

Wrong Forum DAvella... Your post is hurting my eyes! But to help you out as I do have RoF, the screenshots are saved as .bmp files in the game's main directory and there is no bail out key...

Javito, about the gunnery, consider that the Camel has it's vickers very close together and your fire is easier concentered to a certain spot. In the SE5 the guns are firing from different positions and their convergation point must be calculated to achieve better results through concentrated fire... (But I'm still not flying in OFF so don't take it for granted)

Wow, good for you! I wish I had 500 to spend on a new card... Things are very stressed, in economy, here in Greece... I want to see your movies then...

Great !

I don't really know, actually... On the back of my DVD box says: "The original b/w footage was supplied by the Imperial War Museum London..." I haven't seen it for a long time now and I don't remember clearly. (I got it in 2005). The version I've got is consisted of 6 epidodes, (6 DVD's). The Air War is described in the 3rd episode... The two obvious mistakes that still stand out in my memory were the "red" triplane and British Sidcot pilot overalls colored RAF blue-gray, (their original color was a khaki drill kind of light brown). But back then I was not so much into WWI aviation. As a matter of fact I'm just scraching it's surface. PS: HD long YouTube clip:
