haha...If I was that Fork-Lift Driver...I would see how much Vodka I could drink before they pulled me out!

Shame you never got the Snipe finished Stump...Here I sit..patiently waiting :(

I am surprised at the choice of a DH5...as they were mostly used in a training role, after failing to prove their worth as a dogfighter. I can only assume that OBD have chosen it (and the Razor and large number of Nupes) because they have not been represented before in a Sim?

hmm...not sure rwmarth tbh...cant see why not though

Hi carrick Basically you need a paint program such as Photoshop (paint.net is a free version) Provided it has an option to select a certain area (say an entire top wing) you can copy it, and paste it into another aircraft's skin. Move the cropped wing over the original, and save the file. Have a quick look through the skinning section for more info (I might try and make a demo video and stick it on youtube)

Well, there wont be many skins for the Razor... only 36 of them entered combat duties in the last weeks of the war. And, to think..I was worried about them Olham!!

I assume there will be options to turn it down or Off Ras

Hi D Must admit, that was my first thought too...But It costs us Tax Payers good money to keep people in Prison...I like the American Chain Gang approach personally

Yeah, I agree Olham...I was just listening to a radio chat show, with listeners calling in with various ideas from "Sending him to Afghanistan" to public Whippings!...quite scary how the British Public can go totally overboard sometimes! A very silly young man, whose punishment would be best suited to Community Service, cleaning up War memorials for a few weekends I think. We've all done daft things when young and pi$$ed I reckon...but Prison should be reserved for those who deserve it through serious crimes

Thanks Olham...It would be nice to think fellow aviators could create a skin for themselves

Well, with the soon to be released addon pack, and the exciting news that Individual skins are soon to become the Norm..there is no better time to make your own. Ok...you have your chosen paint program...you have your free DXT to BMP program, and you have attempted your first skin. If like me, you discover it looks more like the contents on the carpet after a particularly outrageous party...and you sit moping about how you should'nt have bunked off those Art lessons in high school...despair not! Our very own OBD Uber-Skinners have in fact, done all the work for you! Because of the amazing quantity and quality of their work, you can do what any wannabe artist does when faced with this situation!.....CHEAT! With a few simple 'copy n paste's you can have a totally individual skin...and with the simple addition of a bit of text, and a cool logo...you can have a personal aircraft to be proud of! As an example, I made this DVII in about 15 mins...using parts from three different aircraft...no worrying about weathering, textures or such like, cos it's already there! (I havent worried too much about the details...you can do that once you have the design you want) So, dig out your paint proggy again, and have a go!..there is nothing as satisfying as having your own unique aeroplane!

Yes, that was it!...thanks SB

God Bless you Marvin I loved the bit where the guy says "Thank you for all you Did"...and the old fella says "Well we did a bit" Understated or what? Also loved the Learjet taxiing along, and a f*ck off big B-17 Cruises up behind!...magic!

We should'nt forget either Wels, that atrocities were not exclusive to Germany!...The Allies commited atrocities too (but we will never hear about those) As posted by myself in the past, my Dad was an SOE agent during the war, and he witnessed atrocities commited by Allied Interogators too. I happen to know, from his accounts, that German POW's were tortured for information, and then shot, buried and forgotten by UK Intelligence forces throughout 1941 - 1945...he witnessed this on at least two occasions.

It's sheer weight of numbers that would scare me! Elite forces aren't much use against millions of Chinese conscripts

Actually...doing some very quick research, it appears Germany was considered a target...but quickly removed as one

I agree Olham...the fact of the matter is, that it was a team game...it was down to everyone involved...Lets not forget the Russian role too. Mr Hitler (or rather his often Brilliant Commanders) could have done a considerably better job, had he/they not had to spread his/their forces over two fronts. The question I always ask myself..Is whether an A-Bomb would have found itself falling onto Berlin, had the war in Europe dragged on any longer?

Goodness me chaps!...and I thought I was the only Schoolboy who ever had to suffer this torture! Maybe it was our parents way of getting us back for being little b*stards sometimes!!! (must see if I can find some for my Son, when he's been a little sod!!)

Considering how many Noop's were designed / Built... and yet, SE5a's and Sopwith Camels are the names always remembered by laypeople when thinking of WW1...Must tell us something!

One of my favourite War Movies was the one where a US Marine and a Japanese Soldier are marooned on the same Island!...brilliant story (cant remember what it was called)

Sounds like a suitable punishment for a Cheeky Young German Boy!!! Mine was a mouthful of 'Cod Liver Oil and Malt!....I can still taste it in my mouth as I type!!...disgusting doesnt do it justice! :suicide2:

Yep..Many things about OFF come to mind whilst doing other things! I often find myself whistling the theme tune...and whilst walking my dog the other day, I imagined him being my trusty mascot, and hugging him before I climbed into my Camel!...thinking how it would have felt, not seeing him again..and what would happen to him when i was gone! Always looking up to the clouds, and wondering what it must have felt like to fight for your life up there... Just happy to wake up in the Morning, with Max licking my face...knowing that the most dangerous job of the day is crossing the road with him!....glad I am alive today...and dont have to worry about burning to death in a flying Coffin!

No m8..it's one of mine.. 112 Sqd RAF 1918 (it's in the download area) Here is another one...lesson here...Dont try and take on four Bristol Fighters in a Pfaltz!!...the end came quickly, with a shot in the back of the head!....ouch
