  10. Hmm.. Wish I could agree with you on the flightsim piracy front FB The likes of Justflight, Wilco, Flight1, Aerosim and many more, have dedicated pirate sites all making cracked / Pirated versions of their software. One particular site (which I am not going to name for obvious reasons) was the subject of many discussions on 'another flightsim forum' Piracy is a real problem for the smaller flightsim developers sadly.

  18. I just gasp in Awe at the tale of Mr Barker's VC earning dogfight! What a Guy!!! Two months before the end of the war, he was assigned to head up the fighter pilot school at Hounslow. Before starting, he wanted to gain some experience in the latest weapons and tactics then in use on the Western Front. The RAF gave him a Sopwith Snipe, the ultimate development of the Camel. An excellent aircraft, powered by a 230 h.p. Bentley, capable of climbing to 24,000 feet, and armed with two machine guns, it was as nimble as the famed Camel, but as docile as the lesser-known Dolphin. Less than 100 Snipes made it into combat, but it later became the standard RAF fighter in the 1920's. In September, Barker flew his Snipe around the Front, downing three German planes. On October 27, he was ordered back to his training duties. He took off in his Snipe, #E8102, started for England, but ended up in one of the most celebrated dogfights of WWI, actually five separate air battles. Over Bois de Marmal, he first encountered a Rumpler 'C' two-seat recon plane. Its skillful pilot and observer/gunner kept him at bay, and the gunner hit Barker's Snipe. Eventually Barker circled away and, relying on his accurate gunnery, fired from 200 yards, killing the gunner. He quickly scored more hits on the now-vulnerable Rumpler, breaking it up in the air. But in his focus on his victim, he missed a Fokker that got behind him. The Fokker's gunfire smashed into his right leg. Although badly injured, Barker was able to get into a circling contest, which only ended when his bullets struck the Fokker's gas tank, setting the plane afire. At this moment, Barker's third battle began, as he found himself in the midst of a flight of Fokker and Albatros biplanes patrolling at high altitude. Spandau guns opened up from every direction and another bullet smashed into his other leg. Somehow, he managed to shoot down two of these opponents before he fainted and went into a diving spin. The rush of air revived him and he came to, still in the midst of German fighters. As they all fired at him, he selected one opponent and flew right at him, guns firing. As they closed, he blew it apart and then realized that his left elbow had been hit too. Virtually crippled, with three limbs shattered, he passed out again. For a second time, he revived amidst enemy aircraft, now quite low. Incredibly, he dispatched another DVII. As he struggled to reach the safety of the British lines, a German bullet struck his gas tank. Luckily, it didn't catch fire and Billy switched over to reserve. Seonds later, the Snipe crash-landed, skidding sideways and then flipping over. The men of a Scottish infantry regiment, who had witnessed his epic aerial battle, pulled him from the wreckage. He had downed four enemy planes, taken several bullets, and survived to be awarded the Victoria Cross. He lay unconscious in the hospital in Rouen for two weeks. He received telegrams from King George V, the Prince of Wales, fellow ace Billy Bishop, and many others. Only his amazing constitution pulled him through; even so, he was partially crippled for the rest of his life.
  19. Myself and Fortiesboy had a similar problem.... we solved it by going into the Multiplayer options to configure..(it defaults at 56k..which we changed to T1) and it sorted the crash. You could try running it from the CFS3MP.exe rather than OFF Manager? I'm sure one of the online guru's will have a definitive answer for you!...good luck

  21. Welcome Duke...Both to the Forum, and your replacement for RB3d (because, I am sure like me..you will find yourself playing BHaH all the time now!) Very talented and friendly people on here (seemingly, quite rare these days)...with plenty of guys working on MP...Mods and Skinning..something for everyone!! Great to see you are taking some time to familiarise yourself with this simulator classic!...BHaH allows for both 'full on' pilots, as well as those who are short on time, and just dip their toes when they get a chance! I always quote what one guy said to people just arriving on the front...... "BHaH is not so much a sim...as it is an experience!" You are soon going to experience what he meant!!!! :) Enjoy!
  22. I believe I 'may' have one that no-one else has! :yes:
  23. Oh..I do hope so!...I can't wait for an announcement!..I have a huge list of skins I want to play with!! Look at her!...She's gorgeous!!!
  24. well said OvS....Indeed, we should constantly strive to make WW1 simulation even better at everystep. For that reason, May I suggest we have a Sopwith Snipe in the next addon? I am not sure if I have mentioned my interest in this particular aeroplane before, but........ blah, Blah, Blah
