Good show OBD. There is one other thing you may like to check out that bugs me a little and wasn't a problem in P2 ..... well as far as I can remember lol. The multiple waypoints at the beginning of a campaign mission (Allied only, rarely fly DS) can number up to 10 or 11 I think before the main waypoint appears that leads you to the mission target. If one follows all these waypoints the war may very well be over or at the very least the aircraft one has been chartered to escort are long gone. I always shft+w through them until the main outgoing waypoint appears. Any way to reduce these initial waypoints to .... say 3 (that should be enough to form up) before the main outgoing waypoint appears ?

Lucky bugger. Thanks for the info Taffy. If I ever get to Ohio I'll let you know ! I'd love to see the original 1905 flyer. Here's a few pics from those long ago days. http://www.thewrightbrothers.org/simms.html

Ah ha ! At last ! PD's off the pepsi and back in business ! Looking forward to testing out these missions during the Easter break .... which is under 3 hours away Aussie time WOO HOO ! PD, still waiting for the mission with the Aussie gunners shooting down Manny by the way lol .... PS .... he's not really off the pepsi ....

The holy grail ! Is the Wright Bros bicycle shop still there ? And the Huffman prairie on Simms station where they perfected their early experiments at Kittyhawk with the 1904/05 Flyer ? So much aviation history ! I hope something still remains ?

C'mon I'm sure you can hehe ! Go on give it a go Olham Olboy lol.

It's time you dived into realistic FM then old thing

Looks splendid and great idea Rickity ! (can I be in it now ) And yep I agree there just ain't nothin' like a good book (preferably non-fiction and about WW1) !

What took you so long MK2 lol ?

.... Okay you win ! Erm that's really rather good

The only time anything like that has happened to me (when selecting 5000 feet altitude/Winter in QC) is being dropped slap bang in the middle of an angry storm cloud and being tossed about by the infamous turbulence. Always manage to get the kite under control but it can be a little disorienting for a while. A tot of rum afterwards is recommended.

Hehe yeah I know Rooster. And not one bite ! Oh well

The Biff, after a disasterous start in Bloody April when it was initially flown in formation as a traditional 2 seater, soon earned its stripes when flown as a scout. With the massive RR up front it was fast, robust, well armed and agile for a 2 seat configuration. And of course the sting in the tail. Definitely one of the most outstanding aircraft of the war.

I agree with you tiger .... I think the so called "legendary" status of the DR1 has messed with peoples heads who talk about it in some kind of mesmeric weirdo trance. Like wow, it must be good because .... a) Richtofen died in it b) it's soooooo cute c) Snoopy cursed it d) WW1 movies continue to propagate the legend (give up, it doesn't put bums on seats) In 1918, it was a crappy little underpowered structurally flawed aeroplane promoted and sold by possibly one of the greatest Aviation con artists of the period. And the Germans bought it ! Silly sausages.

Stumpy after another successful cannon test.

Regardless of what month you initially set your pilot, the seasons can be over-ridden in QC before you fly (top right). Also, in Winter for example, you can drill down further and select light snow, medium snow and really really heavy snow man. I love the inclement weather aspect of bh&h myself. Winding Man has done an exceptional job.

Relax Brit_eh. Enjoy it. Don't over-analyse everything. Shiit happens sometimes. Move onto version 1.30. It's a winner !

Trackir only works in the pilot position. To look around in a gunner position turn scroll lock on and use the hatswitch. To move the guns use the joystick.

Baron Rudi von Funkeldoodlewanke was born into an aristocratic family on the 1st April 1892 in Schnitzelbhurgerhoffen, Chermany. 26 years later he has become an arrogant ace with a feast of female conquests and his own quarters in the Cherman Air Services. But this is not his story ! It is the story of the valiant Viper pilots who bring Rudi's evil reign to its inevitable end circa the summer of 1918. HURRAH for the RAF !

Yes very interesting Rabu and a worthwhile effort. However, the tracer effect in Flyboys looked very odd to me and, as the aircraft were all ridiculously uber as well, I thought it was all part of the entertainment aspect rather than reality. But having said that and not being an expert on the subject, can anyone verify that the Flyboy tracer effect is correct or not ? If not, what should it have been like ?

Let's hope so Sig. Splendid job yet again from OBD .... Omnipresent Brilliant Devs !

Good job OvS. It hasn't gone unnoticed. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topi...tml#Post2700940

LOL Schnitzel. Just beware, Tweakitis is a dangerous malaise. Been there done that. It sends you crazy. I think I'll leave well enough alone (although just quietly I may turn triple buffering off). Are you patched to 1.28a ? Unless I'm imagining things, I get more stutters than previous patches where I rarely got them at all. But I really don't want to go through all the painful tweak tests again ! I'm mad enough as it is .... MUAHA MUHAHAHAHHAHAHA !!!!

I'll give you 20 bucks for the lot RAFL (sight unseen) and that's being generous. The collection is obviously worth far less. Do not dismiss this offer. I am an honourable chap, a gentleman infact and it'll hurt me more than you. Trust me. Cheque okay ? OMG ! What a fab collection ! You guys are pretty serious WW1 enthusiasts.

Interesting. Thanks for the info Schnitzel. So if you have triple buffering on then pre-rendering should also be 3 to avoid a mismatch or something ? Or doesn't it matter ?

I'll wait and see but it doesn't look to flash for SP folks like myself who play SP exclusively. At this point, and unless things change drastically in the future, I won't be buying this product.
