I think I'm gonna puke! (Just kidding) this forum is strangely unique!...It appears to have a calming effect on all those who enter. No unpleasant comments, no backbiting and no trolling!..all quite refreshing!...let's hope it stays that way.

It's a valid question though... I still have a 19" monitor, because I have never liked this wide screen thing!..It always looks wrong to me!..and stretched...does anyone else find this? (same with TV's)

haha,,the Flying nun...anyone remember that series on TV?

Great account!......... always sad to hear of a leader going down first time out

Cracking skin Red-dog!!!

I am on 1.28, and in my last two missions, I have seen 2 enemy aircraft lose a wing to my guns...and watched in Horror as one of my wingmen lost a wing to an Alb. That is enough broken wings for my liking...any more than that would ruin it for me personally. I feel Siggi has something with the deflection shooting theory personally

Fascinating read Gents!

SSHHHH... Olham!.. It's only cheating if people know we do it!! :blush2:

Wow!..thanks for posting that WF2.... I hope that beauty takes to the skies, and ends up on youtube oneday! (Lot's of great pictures for the Devs to use, when they build the Snipe in their next foray!) And no Olham... I NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Are there no depth's to which these damnable Huns will not stoop!? That is Just not Cricket!

Welcome to the Mess Tom... I am kinda jealous, as I would love to enjoy that feeling when you first start up BHaH again!...You will have fun!

Hi Beanie...it's already available in your skins folder. I just added a few bit's to it

I think the confusion has arisen from the fact you have the same skin yourself, as your wingmen?...that (as far as I am aware) cannot be changed.

Thanks to Uncleal for posting the links to these. Just wanted to post this, as it's a great story of heroism (in my favourite Fighter of WW1..sadly missing from the OFF aircraft folder..hint hint) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x70t5XuUxOg...feature=related

Cop That roadhog!

The two settings under 'Disable validate device' I have always had turned off.... I have virtually the same rig as you homeboy, so am interested in the difference it makes having them on?

I hit the cutoff switch just before touchdown.... Timed correctly, a beautiful flared landing ensues, with minimum roll or bounce. Get it wrong...and it's a big splat!!!

I think comparing OFF to RB3d is a bit like comparing two different cheese's.. biologicaly they are the same (WW1 flight sims) but you may like one flavour or the other...or like many of us..both flavours! The major difference is, that RB3d is old...very old as computer games go... I liked playing it, and was an avid fan..but it is past it's prime (still fun) but I have moved to OFF exclusively now, and have done for a long time. To really appreciate it's characteristics though, you cannot really play it on a machine of meadiocre horsepower..and to make it perfect on a PC takes a bit of tweaking, but the rewards are manyfold. As I said earlier, you cannot really compare the two, because the gulf is too large. A better comparison would be OFF and FE..but I couldn't comment on that comparison, without sounding totally Biased!

Holy cow!.... That looks more like a V8 supercharged!...serious bit of kit!! Welcome to the mess hall

Excellent..a very good tuitorial film...fun to watch as well. It would be nice to start a mission in the hanger, and taxi out to the field and take off (but even if that were possible, I suspect you would end up with a few dead wingmen!)

and the British Rail Network (famous for cancelling trains because of 'The wrong type of Leaves on the Line) would have an apoplexy if they saw the tree growing right in between the Sleepers I saw the other day!

By the way guys... my earlier post (although given freely) is subject to Copyright, and may not be changed, altered or posted on any other forum. Any infringement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! (Just so we understand each other!!!) :yes:

'Theft' of a story or quote?... A bit strong ain't it? I don't know anything about the case of maps and Gous....but....I have always wondered about this 'Copyright' lark.... I can understand people getting knarked about a) Losing Money or b) not being given credit for something....But if you release something into the public domain, somewhere along the line, someone is going to use it as their own....If people can't handle that, they should keep it to themselves, and not release it...at worse it's Passing off (You only have to go to google images to 'steal' someone's stuff (I have stolen from the Black Adder TV series, a pic of someone, that I don't have permission to use as my avatar) so technically I am displaying copyrighted material Illegally, and indeed I use copyrighted material off google to skin some planes...the difference being, I am not selling or supplying my skins to other people. imho.... Only if monetary worth is involved, should it be classed as theft... this crap about intellectual property is bollox.... If an Intellectual feels so strongly about feeling ripped off, because he released his work free of charge into the maelstrom, he should keep it to his himself!..... and therefore if he is happy to give it out to the global population, he should accept that he has given it freely, and get on with something else...that's what I would do...Not sit and whine about how clever and generous he was to 'allow' everyone else to use it..that's his choice If someone thinks up a joke, and tells his friend...that friend needs written permission to re-tell it?..... Sounds like asshole Lawyers thought this nonsense up to make money for nothing!

I've never been overley keen on the idea of Rudder Pedals (and very pushed for space in my tiny computer room)...but out of interest, which are the best, and how much roughly?

RAF_Louvert!..smashing matey!.... You Broom Broom all you want...darned women never understood anything anyhow! (womenfly2 the obvious exception to this rule!) (phew) thought I better get that one in a bit quick!!!
