Echo!.... congrats m8

Yes, I think pilots from all sides were more interested in staying alive, than polishing their aircraft!...Can't blame them for that I guess

Our German friend appears to have brought back a little Teutonic mischief with him from his leave!...lol We shall have to dish out the same treatment to him, as was meted out to the Blacktails, who dared to cross over the lines!! :yes:

wow!...I had forgotten all about that game!.... Wings held my memory better obviously

With a screaming engine, and the stocatta of Vickers MG's, I shall dive onto the damnable Harry Huns, and assist RC, Launch & Hasse wind! By the time the Red White and Blues have finished with your one-winged warblers, you will be back to the Kaiser with your tails smoking in resignation! SNIPE's RULE!!!

I agree totally!....The Snipe will soon 'blunt' the Huns 'silly Razor'

Just as well for the Jerries!...It would have been a mere target for the Snipe!...MUHahahahaha

heehee...thanks mate!...I dunno how I missed that!!

And pray what is this DVIII going to go up against?

hahaha..Yeah..It sure as hell hasn't helped today Brother!

Aren't we all!!

Amazing coincidence!

I am paying the price, as I forgot Mothers Day!

You're doing this on purpose aren't you? :cray:

Sorry Macklroy!.... I didn't mean to be rude!...I was merely trying to point out that the settings can be made from very easy, to very hard!...I wasn't trying to suggest you were on 'beginners settings...though i know it came across like that!..probably just a late night! S!

Great news!...The old Krumpet Killer returns!...hopefully with some new Skin ideas? We will break him in gently!...I am sure he has a few posts he will want to read through!...I hope he hasn't missed us all too much whilst on leave? I suspect after two weeks, he will be giving his Joystick a damn good thrashing!..woof woof!! Welcome Back Olham...we've missed you!!!

You pays ya money I guess!... I am pleased I bought it when I did!..I too couldn't wait (patience not my strong point I'm afraid) When I consider the hours of pleasure I have had, Flying and Skinning..it's been worth every penny. In my 'Free Games' post, I mentioned a game that I paid full whack for 8 months ago..that is now totally free!...But I don't feel bad about it..I wanted it at the time..it's a good game.... though free is a bit of a hard pill to swallow on reflection!...The B*stards!

Yes...I think he just became the oldest a couple of days ago..after the death of the oldest man... A Japanese Gentleman I believe? (ah yes..he is mentioned on the link)

I found it little wonder that TrackIR leads the way!...nuff said!

Indeed! I sometimes feel that history is not taken quite as seriously these days, in Schools...and that there is a tendancy to sweep it all under the carpet somewhat...almost as if we are ashamed of what our ancestors did. The medieval period is a classic example of this. The fact that Chivalry was born at this time (Chivalry...now there is a word that get's a lot of people rolling their eyes)...but it was the one thing that dragged Europe out of the Dark Ages...was probably the embryonic birth of the Geneva Convention..and indeed Democracy itself (or at least it's re-birth from the Greek and Roman eras) When I was at school...the really 'Interesting parts of history' were quickly brushed over...and we spent eons learning about the Industrial revolution!..(more in part to the Teacher we had being more interested in that I suspect!) It had the effect of boring us all silly!...we wanted to learn about Romans, Knights and indeed WW1 Aerial Combat damn it!...but no...George Stephenson, and Isambard Kingdom Brunel was all we got! (yawn)...thank god for those History books in the Library, which had pictures and stories of proper history!...battles, bloodshed and cruel Murders!...Just what a nine yr old boy wants to learn about!..haha Today, I think the Horrible Histories series of books are fantastic for Children!...they have all the juicy nastiness that youngsters love!..... I hope some of them go on to enjoy the subject as much as I have!....I am sure that most of us here who fly BHaH have a deep fascination with History...and I have seen this come through from people who have commented on this thread! It is after all, what has made you and me, the people we are today!..the people who lived at the time of Agincourt, are our families...our relatives.. going back in time... which I find the most interesting....and in the great scheme of things...it was just yesterday.

Hi JAA I know where your coming from on the CFS3 aircraft's take off roll!.... It's pretty unsettling! I find taking off in OFF is easier than that!...Once you are on full power in, say, a Sopwith Camel...you are airborne pretty quickly...and as it's a 'field' rather than a 'Runway'...it isn't generally the end of the world if you go off tack slightly! (just try not to run into a wingman!) I am sure, with a bit of practice...you will be taking off like an old timer!

Fascinating stuff guys..I am enjoying reading all your posts! Putting aside the weapons and tactics of Agincourt, leaves you wondering what must have been going on in the minds of the people who fought on that day! The French must have felt supremely confident at the start, with their superior arms, their well fed belly's and the knowledge that they fought on their 'home turf' (to say nothing of their vast numerical superiority.) The English / Welsh soldiers...cold, sick, under nourished and hugely outnumbered with little chance of having any mercy shown if captured (certainly not the Bowmen and other 'peasants')...god.. One cannot imagine the feelings they must have felt. Although those arrows probably didn't kill vast numbers of French Men-at-Arms... it must have been very demoralising having the sky darken with clouds of them raining down on you. The English I imagine, would have fought with savage desperation on that day...with nothing to lose..and the closing part of the Battle, with the sight of trapped Knights having their visors wrenched open, to be stabbed in the face with daggers as they lay pinned in the mud under dead horses and other knights, is too horrific to comprehend. Seems like (in much the same way that Hollywood does) .. our very own Shakespeare used some 'artistic licence' with the facts.

Glad you enjoyed it m8!..it's a blinder isnt it?..hahahaha

My apologies if you have seen this before!..just cracks me up! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelne...int-letter.html

Ah yes, the Spartans (sadly, their memory somewhat eroded by that awful film '300')...what a pile of crap that was! As has been noted, Disease (and no doubt hanging in the wings...Famine) may well be the future problem of man...The four horsemen are always looking for new ways to kick our asses!!
