This Skin is of a Captured Camel, flown by Otto Kissenberth of Jasta 23b at Epinoy between April/May 1918. Discussion on the colouration of this Aircraft is rife, as there are only B&W photo's, but this is the most commonly thought of scheme. Kissenberth used this aircraft to shoot down his 20th Victim (an SE5a) on 16th May 1918, and was shortly after seriously injured when he crashed this Camel. He survived the Great War, as one of only three German Aces to wear Spectacles. He died in 1919 in a climbing accident in the Alps.

I can help you with that one!..it's to do with Autotrim..can't remember which way round, but go into workshop, and if auto trim is on..turn it off. and try it then

There were loads when we were on SOH..shame we lost them

Bob Dylan..Unusual, but great choice of Music!

Lunacy.... Just utter and complete Lunacy

Just wondered if anyone is running with all sliders at five?...... I suspect not many!...and when i tried it, I noticed no major improvement in quality of Graphics over sliders at four...just a massive framerate hit.

Out of interest... what is a 'Homeboy?'.. is it the same as Homey?

It's becoming a major pain in the ass now!

Hi Rickitycrate! Glad you got it ok (nice one Siggi) Well, it ain't brilliant in First Person Shooters (imho)...things are just too manic usually (and you spend more time Dead than anything else) though some driving games, and a Tank Sim called Tiger V T-34 use it well. To set up, and calibrate prior to an OFF session, I always use the 'Heads' option...That seems to be the easiest method for me.

Those of you who read and commented on the story of my dad's experience in SOE during WW2, may be interested to note, that I found another snippet of info from my dad's 'box of bit's' that he left me. It's just a little mention of the Lysander Pilot's of the aforementioned sqdn's, whom were known as 'The Bod Droppers' (The Lysander was a very good aeroplane to use, as it could land on very short, rough airstrips / fields) These brave crews often risked their lives flying unarmed aircraft to and from Occupied Europe, to drop off and pick up agent's. My dad was never picked up I assume, as he said he never landed in an aircraft until after the war, but it's interesting to note that he mentioned them in a diary entry. A bit more research shows that in total, these guys picked up 128 agents, and dropped off 101 others from August 1941 to the War's end. But, as with a lot of clandestine mission's of this type, rarely get a mention. (So I thought I would mention them publicly, as they deserve it.) S! also of note, is that 75% of what SOE got up to in WW2 will never be known..as the records were destroyed in a 'Mystery fire' in the 1950's!..hmmmmm go figure!

Yes..and Four Million Birds would now ALL about that!..woof woof

Nice one Homeboy!... a credit to the people of OFF!

Oh yes!..We don't do Sadness or Dissatisfaction here old boy!...That was Sim Outhouse! Here, we are all happy people!!! :yes: Welcome to the forum matey!

looks like a Fish...Moves like a Fish.... Steers like a cow!!! It's a flying Death Sentence against Camel's!
