Yes, that's right...

Here are two examples of bullethole patches in the form of a British roundel in Albatrosse:

Head bob is unintentional head movement due to G Forces-inertia...

So do I... What Winder announced seems to be a dream come true in Combat Flight Simming!

Yes indeed very nice addition, plus the new modelled historical brims in Brit flight caps. One think I don't like and I want to get fixed, sort of, are the open hanging side flaps of the caps. The caps should be well fastened and the faces partially covered by mufflers... Is there time for such changes to be implemented?

Oh, great skin! And the sign so matched up! My astrological sign (scorpio) is so overused in aviation emblems, that I've never thought to use it as a personal emblem...

I'm having a break from OFF lately and revisited for a while, my old IL-2 Modding habits and sites. (I'm trying to realise a Mod that enhances the poorely presented pilots and crew in old IL-2 1946). Anyway, Biltongbru ,a guy from South Africa and a regular at the SAS IL-2 Modding site, posted this:

About the video Hauksbee posted earlier... Here it is on You Tube:

The "Planet of the Apes". ending was priceless

I think he means the cover of the Windsock book, actually...

OK, I was wrong... Caudron G4? PS: OK, wrong again, single engined G3 it seems, after all...Hasse was right...? They look kind of identicall from the small portion of the plane that is visible in the photo. So Olham what is the verdict?

Looks like a Farman? type to me but...just guessing...

CloD clouds come straight from the previous version... Modded old IL-2 Clouds look way better, IMO... I agree that OFF skies look gorgeous!

I've seen it already... Very interesting suff!

Wow that was something!

It's something like Flieger-Album for France...GREAT! Thanks Olham! Anything similar for RFC-RNAS?

Very nice, Thanks!

Aerodrme search for the above serial: http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/aircraft/50568-albatros-5695-a.html From that thread: "this Albatross landed out of fuel near Bras March 5, 1918. its serial number was 5695. The pilot, named Lotthman belonged to Jasta 65. Transported to the airfield of Spa 23, he received the French cockade. May be your photo show it before the cockade were painted According to "Jasta Pilots" by Norman Franks, Gefreiter LOTHMANN was captured March 5, 1918 while attacking a balloon flying this Albatross. He was assigned to Jasta 65 from February 22, 1918,based in Stenay at the time." PS: It seems, from the serial, like it was a standard Johannisthal built D.Va and not OAW one, Dej... OAW D.Va -> D.6400-6999/17, ordered Sep/Oct '17.

We are getting closer, now I have the serial No...D.5695/17 I searched in my most probable books, to find a pic of the plane with some info, when I remembered I have seen it in Wingnut Wings site... PS: Notice that the rod is already installed in the above post's pic, (French markings), on the starboard V strut and a smaller tube also on the port one...(some kind of measuring device, kind of pitot tube, for testing purposes?)

I found another pic of the plane in French hands, from Squadron Signal In Action 46. I remember seeing the plane in one of my books but I have to dig out more for further details...

I did...

Good luck, old chap!

Have a good vacation...

Another one I fished over at "The Aerodrome": apparently staged... This picture was published in the past as "an Italian fighter pursuing an Austian plane". Actually, the Br. C.I 61.57 was the first victory of Francesco Baracca. He forced to land this airplane on April, 7th, 1916. In the picture Baracca flew it with his fellow-citizen Aurelio Baruzzi in the back seat. The Nieuport was flown by Prince Ruffo di Calabria and the picture was taken by Luigi Olivari. Would be the Siemens-Schuckert case be something similar?
