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!

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.

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 !

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.

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:

Cheers Andy !

I have it too, it was given as a present from a Military History magazine, here in Greece, a few years ago... The great futage contained is taken from the Imperial War Museum archives. I prefer watcing it in b/w though. The coloring was not of my taste ...and IMHO not 100% historical. For instance I remember a scene with MvR mounting on a Dr.1 and taking off, where the Triplane has been colored red when it is obvious that it was bearing the original factory finish.

OK, I understand...and approove, after all. The skin is Great! I didn't claim any historical non plausibility. I just found it too ornamented for my personal taste... Well said:" to each their own." PS: I love those tulips!

Looks really nice! The tulip emblem is just awesome! I don't like the initials much...at least the repetition on the sides is too much IMHO... I have a more Spartan taste, I guess... Good Flights!

Actually, I don't think I have any right to speak as I haven't played OFF yet, but... I agree with both of your suggestions with Javito's one more suited to my own needs-preferances... I have noticed a great graphical improovment in the P4 screenshots. The cockpits looks much similar to RoF ones, the environment in general looks fantastic too. The one thing I was missing compared to newest sims like WoP, RoF, even FE2 is the dynamic shadows, casting on the plane itself and in virtual cockpit. I don't know if such feature is even allowed by the CFS3 engine...but it would be great to have. (I admit not as a no.1 priority though). Do we have a clue were P4 is scheduled for release?
