Are you not going to upload all these skins to the Download section Sandbagger?

Great read Gremlin..thanks for posting. Yes John..He certainly was reckless (but at 20 yrs old he can be forgiven i suppose)...In fact, he had more than one oportunity to escape from his final dogfight, but was obviously caught up in the moment. Stunning Pilot though

what if you turn effects to '1' in the config?...would that lose the smoke?

Aha! The other German Pilot was apparently Karl Menckhoff...and although he was shot down in the fight, he survived

Fellow Skinners!... Do you find (as I do) that some aircraft in OFF are really quite hard to skin properly? Alb's and DVIII's are fine, and pretty self explanatory... but others (such as the DR1) are really quite hard to get right? My latest effort (SE5a) was too hard for me to get stripes on the elevators to line up... I ended up ditching that idea.

Having not worried too much about setting TIR up in the past (just used the default values) I was forced into doing some tweaking, by annoyances with Jerkiness and inability to look around my Cockpit etc at 360 degrees with smoothness. After reading Homeboys excellent tuitorial on setting up TIR, I downloaded his Aces profile (just to see what this profile lark involved) It wasn't designed to be used in OFF...but what a revelation!!...the rear view was a bit weird, but that was to be expected...but the rest worked really well, and opened my eyes to the importance of profiles. I have edited my own, so I get a kind of snapshot to front for shooting, and nice, smooth panning..which is great, and suits me well enough for now...took about 5 mins! After three missions, I have to say, my Kill rate has increased!...possibly, because I feel more confident, that TIR is going to respond in the way I think it will...because I have told it too!.... the default profiles are not very good IMHO...and with a bit of work, you can make your own far better!!

That's right..I remember!..he got a big fir needle through his side too!..ouch

I have nothing but respect for those who gave. I hope Monday goes well in the USA

I agree totally...But why have you put this in here???

What a cool drawing.

yeah... More sensationalist headlining!! Put's me in mind of that Rear Gunner in the Lanc who fell thousands of feet and survived..they were going to shoot him as a spy. And the Air Hostess who fell out of an aircraft that broke up in Mid Air...... all three have one thing in Common. They all landed in snow

And I have just realised it's You James...and I feel a right Wally now!!!!!

Wow!...Some fascinating things on this thread. Was he 'airbrushed' out at the time?..Or has someone later on had a reason to remove him from the picture? Or is he a ghost!? There is just something very spooky about these old B&W photos that sends a chill up my spine!...But I have never known why

Great Idea...And I am going to rule myself out....As I cannot give an unbiased view of OFF! ... I just love it Tooooooooooo much!!! Good luck with the search though OvS

As long as they don't look like the Russian Women we see at the Olympics... I'm up for summa that!!!

With a name like 'Quimby'... I could fall in love too!!! (perhaps we should just stop at this point?)

A mine of Information there mate!

Welcome Duke..Yes, I am with you re:-CFS2...It was just short of classic!..with some amazing aircraft /Scenery/Mods etc! But BHaH is just the dog's Bollox!!

Holy sh*t!!!

True apparently A U2 concert in Glasgow, Bono tells the crowd to be quiet after a song... then starts to clap and speaks into the mic...'Everytime I clap my hands...a child in Africa dies.' Very touching. Then a Scottish Guy shouts. 'Well stop clapping your f*cking hands then' :biggrin:

Looking forward to those m8!!!

There is something very Sexy about Women Fliers!

saw it first time around!..Gervais is a comic genius!
