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?

Yep, it's been fun installing a knowledge of history in him for the past 10 yrs!...No doubt, girls will soon take over from his old dad's lessons about Agincourt, the Battle of Britain and the Civil War.... oh well, it was fun while it lasted, and I hope has instilled something that will interest him in the Future. We can but try

One of the good things about having a Free National Health Service I guess :yes:

Hi Olham, yes 3 of us have flown online with TrackIR (no labels or HUD or anything, so a lot of time just finding each other) It's good fun...few little pains, such as a bit of lag when you approach another aircraft...and the fact that when you shoot someone down, they often just hang in midair, then vanish...but great fun nonetheless. We are all extremely bad pilots, so I am sure that you would stand out as an example to us Krumpets!...Have flown Camels, DR1's DVIII's and an Alb or two

Have made a start on it Beanie..just as soon as I can..promise

Against the likes of Rabu, Pol and Winder..we have but no chance!

lol Yes, I really must stop visitors hanging themselves!

Yes..those airmen certainly knew how to put the wind up a greenhorn in the Mess!

ahem...there are some :yes:

Flying as I do in campaign, with just me and a map...no labels, hud or any of that malarky, there is nothing easy..except getting yourself killed

Actually..No!...Only just realised what he's actually done!...lol Oh well, might make people sit up and take notice of the double standards us human's indulge in

Yes, comic relief day for Africa!..Helping those we once Butchered...Oh the Irony!

Hi all, Thought I would post this pic of my son Matt going off to school in fancy dress this morning for Comic Relief day (made me chuckle) He has always been very interested in History, and has replica Roman Helmet's and Medieval Armour and chain mail etc..but this outfit was a requested Christmas present (though I am trying to move him away from the British Colonial mentality!..So far without success!) The rifle is an all wood replica of the Martini Henry (he was not allowed to take that to school however!) and the Pith Helmet has the badge of the 24th Foot, who got a pasting at isandlwana, and also held the defence at Rorkes Drift (he decided that at 5lb, the webbing today was a nono)

Just for you Olham!

I posted this many months ago on SOH.... It's the Lyrics from a song, that I find quite suitable for OFF (it's from an album called Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters) "I see myself a Hero, while one wing falls away, and the dial approaches zero, in a spiralling display, My past life flashes feverishly...Lives I did not lead, Like the time I was a hero, of a weird, outlandish breed. One arm of Flesh and Muscle, and one of feathered scale, I was a hero with one wing, that was of no avail, I could only fly in circles, like a corkscrew in the sky, my one wing flapping frantically, whilst birds just glided by. I launched myself from mountains, and from the highest trees, and though I could get nowhere, just landed on my knees, But still I was a hero, with one wing more than most, almost half an angel, a whirling Holy Ghost. My Father was an Eagle, with two wings wide as sails, My Mother was the west wind witch, with grasping fingernails, she lured him from his aerie, with her twittering device, She kept him in a golden cage, and fed him field mice." Robert Newton Calvert (9 March 1945, Pretoria, South Africa - 14 August 1988) RIP

Classic case of "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" comes to mind. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but sometimes if it's not constructive criticism, it becomes unnecessary criticism..and that starts flame wars. I have been on the SDOE WW1 and other forum sections, to say that I enjoy their Sims..I think that's only right and proper. I don't like FE particularly, but I haven't gone on their forum to run it into the ground, because lot's of people do like it, and that's fair enough. Comment or criticise by all means..but slagging off isn't acceptable IMHO

Oh Dear Rickitycrate...That looks very nasty!

Parky has it, and says it's great!..works with OFF..but as Pol pointed out, best be aware that things can go wrong

As you probably know, I am no 'shrinking Violet' when it comes to the Forum...So I had best stay clear of this one!

I am intrigued as to why the doctors haven't made a decision to zap the two stones with ultrasound?..it's a fairly routine and common practice here in the UK

I am only teasing you my German friend!
