I would buy a set of FS9 /FSX OFF textures tomorrow too!!

Thanks for the headsup Parky!..Yeah, I am sick to death of removing crap from people's PC's (but they pay my mortgage bless 'em)

I am sticking to 1.28...just cos I think it's perfect! (and I don't want to have issues in MP...cos the guys I play with are noobs!...which is why I chose them...lambs to the slaughter!.. MUHahahahahaha)

Spoken in Jest! This is Newsbiscuit! (if you don't already subscribe to this spoof reportage, I strongly recommend it for a daily chuckle!) http://newsbiscuit.com/article/microsoft-l...responding-2009

Again, really good mate!..Out of interest, how do you perform weathering on your skins?..that still eludes me!

Yes, I use my late father's Name Albert George

With all the excitement with BHaH I completely forgot to say thanks to the Team for reinstating (and improving on) a feature present in P1 but lacking in P2. That being the friendly and enemy aircraft comparison chart in QC Now I know that an EIII doesn't match well with a Camel!....however when pitting one of the numerous varieties of Alb's against the Numerous Neiuports, It's nice to be able to compare their abilities and weaknesses, and get a more balanced dogfight! Thanks Guys

Looking forward to seeing those!

Excellent Beanie!!! Good idea to keep it as simple as possible...quite easy to get trapped into adding too much, and ditracting from the overal lokk. I have to say, I am VERY impressed with those skins!...Nice Job! :yes:

Great news...but y'know..the more I hear about the Red Cross, the more they sound like some kind of secret- laden Sect! I have heard mention of them on the History Channel on two occasions recently, where they have witheld information (once about WW2 American and British troops who were sent to Siberian Work Camps, never to return) and another of hording vast amounts of personal data, and refusing to air it in public...I mean who the hell do they think they are doing that?..The CIA?

I think it is only useless if it doesn't affect anyone at all. (what may be better, would be if people titled their threads a little better?)...So we would know it was a gripe. A bit like the old SOH habit of putting OT before the title if it is Off Topic

Hi Werewolf. After you have finished editing the skin, save it as the default filename (but add something like MYSKIN1 to the end) for instance: off_Alb_DV_later_t_Jasta 3 1917_SIMON RED TAIL (as you can see I added SIMON RED TAIL to the end of the filename) MAKE SURE YOU ARE WORKING WITH A COPY OF THE SKIN AND NOT THE ORIGINAL!!!!! If you are happy with the final result, you should use the 'Merge all Layers' option in Photoshop You need to then save the file as a DD3/DDS (*.DDS) file in the drop down 'Save as' menu..and the Nvidia box will then appear...just click save without changing any default settings, and copy it back into the 'Skins' folder. You should then be ok to fly, with the new logo. Hope that helps?

Yeah, it will be a while before they ship Win7 (they don't want to be making the same mistakes they made with Vista, that's for sure) The other thing is, I have never seen any real advantages (game wise) to having 64Bit (XP 64 bit included)

Vista?... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (Sorry, just my personal opinion, and I know that OFF now works with Vista, but have you considered ALL the ramifications of Vista?) Especially as Windows 7 will be around before too long?

Yeah..cool aint it? also if you set VSYNC to 'Clamp' that sometimes get's rid of a lot of the Jaggies associated with TrackIR glad it's working for you, and increasing your enjoyment!

Have you tried 16Q...just wondered if that makes much difference again?

Hi Beanie, Looking at your pic, all I can see that isn't a 'default' skin is the chequered flag?...and possibly the Fuselage cross and Fuselage skin? Are you trying to decrease the size of the chequered flag?..if so, that is just the 'scale' command. It may be worth you having a quick look at some basic photoshop techniques on youtube? (I learned all the basics there) Just type in "Basic Photoshop Tuitorial" into youtube, grab a pen and some paper (and a Coffee) and have a watch..make notes as you go...though there is nothing much on there specifically for skinning Albatross's!! you will however, find some useful pointers that can be adapted for use in skinning. I am working as we speak on the mini tuitorial, but don't get downhearted, it's quite a learning curve, and I think you are almost there!..just need a bit more info I reckon!! Good Luck m8, and please keep asking questions, it's the best way to crack it!

hahaha... Had just taken off in QC, quickly paused the game to answer the phone, and when I came back, I just panned around the aircraft...and saw my wingman had decided to get a little over familiar!...If the phone had'nt rang, I would have been mangled by the fool!..As it happens, I actually unpaused and yanked the stick, kicked the rudder, and he just missed me! He was in for a right mouthful when we landed!!!

My god!... I just hope I am better at everything else, than I am at this!..or I am DOOMED!

Hey..anything is possible on here!

Hi Rickitycrate. Thank you for your kind words..yes indeed he is the recipient of Empire Total War, which he will get on his Birthday on Monday (then perhaps I will get a chance to have a go on it too!) His day at School went well (no-one took offence) and his pals all wanted to try the helmet on! When i went to pick him up at hometime, It did remind me of the film Zulu!

Some good updates there! I had never felt there were any real issues...though the N11 did fly a bit poorly as AI...that was the only little issue I have ever noticed so far

Again , Bomb view is one of the 'F' keys (cant remember which one)... Maybe shift F9 summat like that (it will be in the keyboard layout somewhere) Might be worth mapping a joystick button to bomb view..cos I have crashed watching bombs drop in the past!

It's not free (of course not) we all pay for the NHS but if a tramp is Ill or injured, he can get access to medical services of equal standard to a Millionaire. I am not familiar with the situation in America, perhaps you could tell me what would happen to the Tramp there? I get the impression, that the more insurance cover you have, the better your treatment?...So the rich get the best and **** everyone else?
