I am off to the pub tonight, and love checking the forum's when I pour home! So, I thought I would ask a question that has always intrigued me. Do you guys think that, given the various aircraft available throughout his career... That Manfred Would / Could have scored 80 kills or more.... if he had flown for the RFC? Or, would his career have been cut short by Lanoe Hawker in a German Machine? Was his success due to him? His Aircraft?...Or a bit of both?

Hmm... I would say that Destiny and luck are brother and Sister

Regarding TrackIR... It works brilliantly with all MS sims.... It is only a dissapointment in IL2..due to that sim's total lack of 6do..But in OFF, it is sublime! I have totally dropped IL2 now, because OFF out performs it with it's superior TrackIR views...and I just cannot even face a simulator without my beloved piece of Kit! If I couldn't use my TrackIR... I would cease flying!...period!...it is THAT important to my enjoyment!

I love the Hurri as well (would certainly have been choice #4) The unsung hero!...bless her!

Hmmm.. That's interesting!... I have a Nvidia 8800GT and have only seen the top effect!..not seen the ball of flame! Wonder if that is a Driver thing?

EEK!

Here is a Pfaltz of Jasta 72s. Pilot Unknown

Thanks chaps! As soon as I saw a pic, I thought "I have to have a go at that"

Is learning to fly a formation! Myself, and my two squadron friends, spend large amounts of our online time, just learning to fly in formation. Shooting each other down for a little light relief is all good fun, but when you have 3 Sopwith Camel's in a vic formation, adjusting speed, taking wind into account..and then trying to watch for enemy aircraft.... You really get a sense of flying in the early 20th Century. When it goes wrong, it's a real mess...and it is very hard to get it right...but when all three of you are in 'the zone'...it's one of my favourite parts of the sim! (if you ain't got TrackIR... I wouldn't even go there!)

Ah yes..the aeroplane that single-handedly ended my ambition's of learning to fly!!

I just hope those Irresponsible farmer's have considered their Carbon footprints, and will cease to burn all that fossil fuel!

I actually really enjoy it... It's basic, yes...but with just a couple of friends.... flying around, dogfighting, flying under Tower Bridge etc... fun

I would Parky...but the poor buggers are already deaf from me shouting at them down the Mic!

The jolly old Red Baron himself, copped a packet.... to the relief no doubt of the Royal Flying Corps (or possibly RAF by then?)

The Battle lasted 18 minutes?..Hundreds of Mexican's killed?... Geez!..What were they using?...Napalm?

Thanks for that!..So, was it the same conflict as the Alamo?

Was that the War of Independence against the British? (pardon my ignorance) I thought that was in the 1700's

I will do that SD..... Yes, it's about the hardest think I /we have ever tried in a multiplayer game of any description. We get it all very wrong, many, many more times than we get it right I can assure you!!

Makes you wonder whether destiny had decided to keep him alive...or to take the lives of a further 52 men?... or both of course!

Why don't we flood the reviewers as a community with our views!?..... If everyone on this forum emailed them, they would at least know who we are!... We as a community deserve to be heard!!!!...... I for one, am pretty fed up with reviewers (http://www.metacritic.com/games/pc/)..... So many of them are in the pocket's of the game developers, it's not true! I use metacritic all the time, for the users comments (where you get the TRUTH about a product!) FarCry 2 is a case in point!... The magazine reviewers said how brilliant it was.... when in fact..It was utter s**t!...but I went with the reviewers, rather than the punters on that occasion, based on Far Cry 1 which was superb!..... What a waste of money! I have bought some duff games in my time, but never felt so hard done by as I felt buying that game! But I suppose it's all relative

BTW.. when I just googled "WW1 Flight Simulator I got this http://www.simshack.net/product_info.php?products_id=170

Some very constructive comment.... tttiger's particularly so. I agree with him, that ROF is waiting in line for online... and if there is anything the team can do to push the multiplayer side of the sim, they should.

Fascinating reading!

what?.. with three of us?? Us Brit's usually give the 'Two Fingers!' hahaha
