Gr.Viper

People actually managed to fit this gun on a plane.

Straight into Objects folder

My flight of D.VIIf got wiped out by Hanriots. And we barely scratched them... Had a long forgotten feeling of being shot from all directions at once.

Французский, судя по отзыву автора туториала, работает и с остальной серией. И кораблики с танками должны без проблем вылезать. Может из-за патчей что-то изменилось. В опциях редактора на апдейт проверять пробовал? Мне самому сложно проверить, так как я в это дело через First Eagles, а не реактивные самолеты втянулся. А второй редактор работает? Найти карты можно, поюзав поиск по разделу Maps/Terrain Mods. Хотя похоже, что пустыня - это родная из SFP. Может эта на замену встанет? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=4087

And a new weapon editor...

Так.. судя по всему проблема с не тем оружием на подвесах решается через редактирование ini с данными самолетов. Вот список самолетов и ниже изменений в них, которые нужно проделать для успешной работы с паком оружия http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=18346 С вертушками проблема - это все же сим самолетов, поэтому взлетать приходится как на самолете. То есть нужно в настройках управления назначить кнопки для изменения вектора тяги, чтобы хоть как-то подвисать. weapondata.ini должна быть извлечена в папку objects, а далее - мануал по weapon editor в картинках http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?s=&am...ost&p=44420 Изменения и добавления в данные можно делать и в редакторе и через блокнот, но в итоге сейвить надо через едитор т.к. он вроде бы данные еще и в weapondata.dat пробивает. Кстати, тут грядет очередное обновление движка, выход нового сима и пр. так что должна появиться новая версия редактора - старый с экспаншеном First Eagles уже не работает.

Or just about a hundred. Notice that after taknig quite little damage AI takes the plane into a slowly descending spiral.

Now Chuck Noris knows our names...

There's was decently working XP fix for Titanium Trilogy that needs no dosbox (and enables 3d acceleration)... And getting the most out of DOSBox also requires reading its own manual and adjusting config file. Had to learn how to dumb down my joystick for RedBaron, increase memory for Blood, learn complicated mount commands for multi-cd games, increase freespace for some annoying installlers... But it's fun!

Bad luck... since headers of entries are links they can't be coloured. I'll try to mark offline things. OK. Now offline stuff (books and movies) is marked with green. BTW is there any web archive of documentary footage released into public domain?

Hmm... I wonder where I shall put them. Rats! I'll have to seperate stuff available online (most of my post) from advice "that's a good book". Maybe some sort of marking or separate section... Any ideas?

Added Dawn Patrol. Well, Blue Max still has excellent and realistic flying. It just feels right, though "pull a lever to fire guns" is quite strange for such late war.

By an amazing stroke of googling luck I came across another batch of literature - some guy from Russia started upping his books and WDF collection. This stuff floats aroud p2p networks too, I think, but is really difficult to find, unless you know exactly what you need. Knowing instability of anything out there I decided to up some of it to my website. Anyway, if anyone comes by and asks to pull their stuff, I'll do it. === Let's start a reference library for anyone, who might get interested in fragile, flammable, oily, leaky and charming planes and everything related to them. I'd like this post used as the library itself (with some sort of samples) while the rest of the thread will be open for discussion and suggestions of new material, which can added here via editing. Look, comment, check your bookmarks and share your own findings. I got really lazy at Fiction section - maybe will add basic info and screens later. Hope, it doesn't look that bad. Green names mark entries that you'll have to look up elsewhere. The rest (simple bold headers) is clickable, viewable and sometimes even downloadable. *Red stars mark stuff added with latest update. Books, Websites Aeroplane Speaks A brilliantly written introduction into the basics of flight and various flight-related phenomena as seen in the years of WWI. Grab 8Mb html version because it comes with drawings from the original book, including pictures of lots of early planes in the end. The Aerodrome - Articles First three articles seem to be particularly interesting: Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War - An detailed overview of use of aircraft in WWI and even some data on anti-aircraft defence (car with MG chasing low-flying plane - they tried it!). Aviation Engines - An introduction into line internal combustion aircraft engines. Basic vocabulary, design principles and some peculiarities explained in simple language. Aircraft Machine Guns - Comment on interruptor gear design and main types of guns used in the war. Engines before 1925 Examples of several WWI plane engines including a detailed pdf profile of Gnome Monosoupape. Red Fighter Pilot English translation of Manfred von Richthofen's only book. *Der Rote Kampfflieger (37Mb) Scans of the original book by MvR. 1917 German edition with photographs. Fighting the Flying Circus Same war through the eyes of another ace - Eddie Rickenbacker. An Illustrated History of WW1 Some basic info on plane types, weapons and engines, a list of balloon busters. Aviation in WW1 This website has lots of wonderful stuff such as engines, guns, balloons and planes reference, history of attempts to develop aircraft cannons (see the ending of "nocturnal air defence" section), animated model of rotary engine etc. The Fledgling, by Arthur "Arch" Whithouse. An excellent autobiography of an American in the RFC-RAF. Wind in the Wires, by Captain Duncan Grinnel-Milne. Another autobiography of a man, this time a Briton, who was in the RFC and RAF. He also wrote another book about his two years as a German prisoner. *Fokker Aircraft of WWI (166Mb) An in-depth overview of all aircraft, designed by the Flying Dutchman. Includes tons of pictures both of well known planes and of their early prototypes. Also includes info on production and serial numbers of all types. *Above the Lines - A Complete Record of the German Fighter Aces 1914-1918 (155Mb) I shall say the name speaks for itself. It IS the seemingly complete record of all German aces and all their victories. Also there are short Jasta histories, list of balloon strafers etc. *(Crowood) World War One in the Air (89Mb) History of the air war in pictures. Divided into four sections, each beginning with some historical data followed by lots of photographs. *Flying Guns Word War I (13Mb) Machine guns of WWI in intimate detail, history of airplane armament from hand-held rifles to cannons. *(Kagero) Famous Airplanes #1 Nieuports 1-27 (18Mb) A Polish publication (both in Polish and in English). This volume is on Nieuports' family. Has more pictures of Russian planes than similar Western files. *(Kagero) Legends of Aviation #2 Sopwith Camel (33Mb) Another one of Polish datafiles for modellers similar in spirit to Windsock DF. Includes history of design, some photographs, plans and paint schemes. Unfortunately, not much attention is paid to small details. *(Kagero) Famous Airplanes #2 Fokker D.VII (27Mb) Can't say it holds at least a tenth as much info as WDF (that had a three-volume special on the plane). Still, if anyone ever wishes to make a Polish or Soviet or Lithuanian skin for D.VII this may be a good place to start. *(Kagero) Legends of Aviation #1 Kaiser's Aces (30Mb) Not as epic as "Above the lines..." this volume offers a number of paint schemes along with stories of some notable aces. *(Kagero) Legends of Aviation #3 Richthofen's Eleven (34Mb) Rather long and detailed history of the famous Jasta 11. P.S. If someone needs something from >this< list really badly and is too lazy to search - PM me. Pictures Rosebud's WW1 and Early Aviation Image Archive I guess, it's the largest open online collection of WWI aircraft-related photogarphs. The Aero Conservancy A collection of pictures of various elements of WWI aircraft obtained from crashes and other sources. Idflieg - A Place For Surviving Machines A growing collection of restored WWI aircraft photos parked in various museums. Picture Atlas of WW1 (1915, 1916, 1919) Three 400-page German albums of WWI. Very few planes, but a lot of recon pictures taken from planes (gas attack - 1916 p.115), pics of destroyed buildings etc. Might come in handy for building scenery. *Vintage Warbirds 6 - Fokker Fighters of WW1 (63Mb) Unlike "Fokker Aircraft in WW1" book this one is more of a collection of photographs - the subject is the same, so a number of pictures are the same though some are of slightly better quality. *Vintage Warbirds 9 - World War One in the Air (12Mb) This one provides not so much historical background and is all about commented pictures. On the other hand most photos in this volume are "air-to-air" with lots of aeroplanes captured in flight and up close. *German Bombers of WW1 (72Mb) All you wanted to know about bomb racks but were too shy to ask. Well, it's mostly pictures with extensive comments here, like two of Zeppelin-Staaken cockpit. *German Naval Air Service (71Mb) Pictures and info about German floatplanes and flying boats. Some data is really amusing... This thing was designed to be dropped from a zeppelin as a glider and then release a torpedo at a set altitude Video WWI in Colour (IMDB) Part V: Blood in the Air is entirely dedicaded to WWI aerial combat. Strategic bombers, floatplanes, first aircraft carrier. Used to be in decent quality on YouTube but was pulled. Still a DVD seems to be easy to get (it's published even in Russia). Flying Coffins Nice documentary from Discovery Channel. Replica dogfight of Camel and Dreidecker, demonstration of engine blipping, Neuport airframe, some pilot stories.... Still avaliable at YouTube: Fiction - Do not take this stuff seriously. Movies The Blue Max (IMDB) Aces High (IMDB) Hell's Angels (IMDB) Dawn Patrol (IMDB)

And then someone will come and ask for an ability to jump on a bike and go search for unconfirmed kill Running the same route to plane would quickly become boring unless it's a scramble mission and there's a swarm of incendiary bullets buzzing in the air.

Good to see you back Some people nearly buried DiF already http://wwiaircombat.com/news.php?date=2008-01-05_21:48:22

What colour are the cartridges?

This forum might have the answer http://www.rb3d.net/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=14

Something like that should do http://www.ambx.com/site/about/what No oil though

Bandy, if you use so called glide wrapper such as dgVoodoo you can run RB3D in Glide mode on most modern video cards. It seems, nVidia fits better for RB3D as ATI cards have a number of glitches. Alhough even for them gameplay is pretty stable and the picture is awesome provided you install some of the superpatches. WOW! Got Alb D.II in my Jasta (using WFP). At first pit looked a lot like in D.I. Then as the new year 1917 came, it felt a bitt different - then I realised that they actually modelled the switch from leaky ear radiators to top-wing mounted ones. I wonder if that means that I won't get an oil leak every other dogfight.

Well, BioShock was kinda... lame. Excellent visual style and soundtrack, optimised engine. Yet gameplay is severely dumbed down and most features were basically the same as in System Shock 2 only much simpler. Which is like having LockOn with DM and FM from ye olde Sopwith. Oh, and [censored] copy protection, no way I'm ignoring that. The rest.. Agatha Christie: Evil Under The Sun provided a lot of laughs. Hercule Poirot digging into sand tennis court, rolling boulders, repairing car engine, carrying a raft and some dirty rocks in his pockets - grey cells cannot tolerate such torment.

:yes:

Unlike Buttkicker this thing kicks ass! Still, customisable switchboard could be nice...

That's precisely for the kind of chair I shall never buy again. Wheels and rotation just don't go with pedals. IMHO, for WW1 sims a much more needed thing for immersion is a strong fan/cooler aimed at players face and a can of motor oil to apply to your face before flight. I'd gladly pay for some sort of fan that would change its power based on speed of flight and weather conditions. Just got another idea. A USB hub with tons (un)plugable of switches on wires. One tiny joystick (not for flight), a couple of dials, some toggle switches, a few buttons. Throw in a set of clamps and suckers and a "Design your own pit" kit is ready. Maybe wires aren't even needed with all this bluetooth being able to fit into tiniest things... Oh, and a Deluxe version of the kit can have all switches look like made of brass and wood.

...or in Russia. Well, it's mostly just ripoffs of Western shows. Though I doubt you have something BigBrother-ish lasting for errm.. let me seee.. 3 years and no end date has ever been announced. I'm glad I don't watch TV.
