Nice one Lou...I must dig out my MAW disk and have a go

Superb Olham..thanks for posting

I think you would all be quite horrified at the amount of lethal weapons I have in my House! (I hope my friend Fortiesboy doesn't read this, as he's a retired Cop!) I have two Samurai Swords, a Hunting Bow, a Broadsword, two Nepalese Kukri's, a Rapier, five daggers and a Crossbow!...and most lethal of all....an 8 month old Border Collie with a serious attitude problem!! Bring it on Burglars! I don't think this thread is the place to discuss Gun Ownership, so i apologise for bringing it up...and as I said before, in my opinion, nothing could have prepared anyone for what that guy did to that child...it's just so random. There is also a vast gulf between what occurs in the US and what does in the UK Looking at the simple statistics, I too would want to be armed in America

I vote Olham to do the German Voice Acting....that way, I will hear him curse each time I shoot a Hun down in my (hopefully coming) Sopwith Snipe!!

That's a horrible incident BH..sorry you had to go through that, and of course, my thoughts are with the Victims. Armed and ready isn't an option here in the UK however...penalties for carrying any sort of weapon in public here are severe...and tbh, that's the way I (and the majority of people here) want it to be. Yes, there will always be incidents (last week's gunning down of 12 people in Cumbria by a nutter is testament to that)...but for the most part, I still feel 'relatively' safe walking the streets of my home city, without worrying where the next gun is going to be pulled. I was involved in a shooting incident just last year (an extremely rare incident here) where I was sitting in a Pub, and two masked gunmen walked in, and shot a guy before running out of the door. One thing struck me about the incident, and left me thinking "If I had a Gun in my pocket, could I have used it on the two gunmen".....the answer I realised was absolutely not....it happened so quickly, that unless I was expecting trouble, the most likely scenario would have been, I might have attempted to retrieve the weapon...but would probably have also been shot. The very fact that People are the most dangerous predators on the planet, kinda makes me think, that the less of them that have Guns...the better. I realise of course, that Guns are a major culture in the US....but sadly, the statistics speak for themselves, and I don't envy you guys in any way, when it comes to carrying weapons in Public....far too many people are killed either by accident, or maliciously with their own weapons...guns are (imho) weapons for trained Soldiers and Law Enforcement Officers....Joe Public are not fit to carry them. An army couldn't have stopped that c*nt doing what he did..again, too quick...yes, you may well have had the satisfaction of blowing his Brains out (and I can understand totally the satisfaction one could get from removing a piece of Detritus from the planet)...but you can be assured, you did, in your professional capacity, and as a decent member of the Human race, the best you could under the circumstances, and for that you should be justly proud, and I salute you. Horrah for JD eh?....He will tell you the Answer's to all life's questions...trouble is...you will never remember those answer's in the Morning...none of us ever do

I used to be a fan of Nhancer...but they have f*cked it all up recently (imho)

The Albatros is indeed a beautiful sight...especially in a gun-sight I am sure Josef would have been most proud to see this!

not a legal one

Just ordered it!...thanks Rabu

I suppose if you are going to push for reality...then blood and guts is going to be part and parcel. I wouldn't mind a bit more 'nastiness' personally....but it would be easy enough to turn it off and on in workshop

My Dear Morris..... I would never stoop to Common or Garden Propoganda

Any news on the WW1 mod for IL2?

Same with the Snipe though Olham (the Triplane is Lothar's)

Beautiful work!

It's showing it's age now

Right back at yer Morris...I love to see Crashed Alb's...they're the best kind...but DR1's will do as well

Did you remember to install the CFS3 patch before installing P2?

Embarrasing for the pilot

Haven't been there for many years...I lived in Caterham, just a few miles away. As kids we played in the control tower...with no idea of it's significance

Capt Sopwith, I thank you...great picture. I shall take a leaf from Manfred's book, and your signature! "Success flourishes only in perseverance...ceaseless, restless perseverance" I WILL have my Snipe....and will use it to Snipe those that mock!

If i never lost as a child, I would have missed out on the sheer delight of throwing the Monopoly board, and all the contents across the room

I was lucky enough to go to the last ever Kenley Aerodrome memorial show,way back in 1979... and enjoyed performances by Spitfire, Hurricane...and the highlight of the show was a dogfight between a replica Sopwith Camel and DR1....fantastic

I think Hellshade is spot on! Children are better off playing outside in the sun anyway, they shouldn't really be a concern to adults re:- Violent Computer games...because Parents should avoid them coming into contact anyway. Violent Films are more of a concern methinks....children can usually tell the difference between reality, and a computer game (though the games are getting more and more realistic and graphically nearer to real life)...but violent films are a bit dodgy for Kids I think

I vote for a chap getting sliced in half by his own Propeller

It would be really cool if someone flew it with a mini video camera in place of the pilot wouldn't it?
