I dont think that the size of the cockpit actually changed guys...(the size of men inside varies) It's just an impression because of the more rounded and un-caged canopy.

Oh, no...

Great news...Thanks!!!

I check every day, too...but not actual flying for me for some time now (in any sim)... My laptop broke down, I now have repaired it, but had to reformat and lost everything. I didn't reinstall OFF waiting for WOFF, but it seems to take ages to be finished and released! Hey, MudWasp48... you said the WOFF video, there are 4 of them out there...

I'll too go with rjw for a 11/11/2013, release... So very close to my birthday as well, would make a perfect gift!

You mean your own shortcut icons? http://www.convertico.com/

I had the priviledge, earlier this afternoon, to watch a fantastic, breathtaking, Red Arrows' show from my very balcony, in my hometown Patras, Greece! These lame cell phone pictures can't describe the glorious performance of those RAF boys... Only if they haven't brought their British weather with them!

And a bonus vid... Insane low pass during Navy-Air Force joint excersise in the Aegean (cell phone recording)...

Ha-ha, I know... As said in one of my previous posts Andravida is the home of the modernised Phantoms and the Gun Tactics School (SOT). I have a friend (former school-mate) that serves as a Major in one of the 2 Squadrons based there (338 Fighter Bomber) We've passed forty so no much flying for him any more, but still... Here is a video celebrating the 60 years of the Sqn (1952-2012) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cZDVSuMWIGM

Thanks Derk, I posted the pics unedited... BTW, here is a HD version of the above video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ULgwL7ilwaI#t=30s

Hey Dimus, I have friends in Ithaki and have spent many summers there... (my friend's place is in Levki). I've also worked there a few years ago, restoring a kind of famous, Icon of Christ, in Vathy... (attributed to el Greco, according to the wild imagination of the local ecclesiastic authorities! ) I've born in Patras but my father's side origins are from Kefalonia, as a matter of fact the lights of my granfather's village (Komitata) are easily seen from Ithaki. Anyway, Olham, I found a HD panoramic shot of the the Red Arrows looping in formation over Andravida Base (you can see Fantoms parked outside the hangars)

The performance was absolutely stunning! About the weather, it's rather warm here but kind of windy and clowdy the last days (raining Sahara dust frequently)... In Greece they are based in Andravida Base, which is the home of the modernised Fantoms of the HAF, along with the Greek-Hellenic Top Gun equivalent school (SOT=Gun Tactics School). The last couple of months were based in Acrotiri, Cyprus, practicing and prepearing for their summer tour. I don't know when they are leaving... May be it's worth a trip over there to watch their practice... It's just a bit over half an hour driving from Patras. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RnhwfqfjT9s

The canopy and windshield is not the original "rounded" one. This is a E-4 style canopy there...(could have been retrofitted) but still is not correct... The central bar on the canopy is a feature that was issued with the G model. In the E and F models there were just overlaping plexiglass windows. You should probably make the "bar" kind of transparent to look OK. (Should do it to your upcoming E4 as well) PS:Please don't get me wrong, I also find the bump mapping on the canopy and windshield a bit overdone...

Here is mine: elephant.xml I have Olham's too: Olham.xml (I don't think he'd mind sharing)

I envy you... I checked mine and the reading says 5.5... I desperately need upgrade.

Looks fantastic, Ian!

I don't think the D.III(OAW) is missing from OFF... Check Jasta 10 or 28w from July '17. The D.III early and D.III Johannisthal is the same plane, actually... (Do you mean central-off set radiator distinction?) The D.V uprated (lower wing reinforcement-Merc.D.IIIa engine) is not used properly in OFF. Sould be issued from late 1917 along with the D.Va issue. With or without headrests the planes used in the second half of 1917 were common D.V-s...

No, it's a Mod for IL-2...
