Bletchley , my apologies for a quick thread hi jack....what is the name of the Lambert book? Did a google search and could not find it. I believe I have one of the original hand sketched drawings he did for the book signed by him. I obtained it from a collector who obtained it from the family. Is this in the book? I always wondered if this pic made it in the book or not, I know he did several and some made it in and others did not:

UK widowmaker what he means is to upload the skin for all to use in the UPLOAD SECTION OF OFF here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...amp;showcat=350 that is actually the main purpose of the site (and one of the fun parts!) , to share user mods with everyone etc.

YES!!! DiD/WTL for me , for the boards how about seperate ones AND one general one combing the info for the other 4? best of both worlds. The focus should definitely be kills. I can avoid comabt every time in my Spad and I can gurantee I'll surivie the war at 130% realism at pure DiD, so misison time to me is secondary to kills. Siggi I am getitng pretty excited about this . Is there any support combatace can give you ?

I had just purchased it lst week. I had never even heard of it until it was mentioned at SOH. cool.

Myabe I'll post some pics of the entire room :-) I posted some pics of the original dawn patrol board being recreated at 8 x 4 in the first post.

The only thing is on my machine CFS3 plays and looks like a cartoony load of crap, while OFF plays like a modern game just released with great graphics and FMs. So depending on what mahcine you have will be what type of experience you get just messing around with CFs3

Fenris it is cotton and three paints, mustard, red and black, it literally takes 20 seconds to make the flame and smoke and then you let it dry. Here is a picture of my mini collection, the ones on the top shelf are pre painted Wings of War miniatures (from fantasy flight games). You do not even have to paint them or assemble them. The bottom is old school assemble and paint 1/144 from skytrex http://www.skytrex.com/. I also have a bunch of two seaters finshed that are not shown. speaking of D & D Dawn Patrol is a TSR role playing /combat game.

Once the patches are implemented by the OFF team , I'll release some modded campaign files for the Germans that will take away those missions for fighters in 1918 (that way you don't have to exit to QC) . It is very easy to do. I already modded an American balloon busintg career where you get many drachen hunting missions assigned to you and it works fine.

The music really stands out with off. Can it be uploaded here at combatace? The OFF section is a bit bare now and it would be great to preserve the file here in the dedicated OFF file area. Just a thought.

It's a good book. Now about the SPAD XIII funny but it is actually the only plane I have flown the previous month in campaign mode. It was impossible to get kills early on as I insisted on turning with the DR1s and Fokker DVIis was getting myself shot down quite regularly. Now I currently have a 5 kill ace waiting for confirmation on his 6th kill. I don't think I have had an enemy plane fire at me from behind yet in this current campaign (althogh I almost lost the pilot to ground fire during a balloon mission). My SPAD rules: 1. never engage flights above you, let them pass or if they dive in , extend with superior speed, choose where to fight (what side of the lines) and turn back into fight using boom and zoom tactics. 2. When you fire on an enemy airplane, make one or two turns at most before you extend and make another pass. 3. Above all use the superior speed of the SPAD XIII to constantly extend from the fight and engage or disengage at will. Once you realize you have the speed to leave any battle at any moment , you start using it to your advantage. I would not trust another plane more than the SPAD XIII right now.

Jimko incredible shots!

That is one of my favorite screenshots Rabu, thanks for posting.

sounds real cool

widowmaker please upload them to the site so others can enjoy! They look very cool!

Get a screen shot next time! Sounds cool..

P3 is much , much better than P2. Just keep that in mind. The CD he is offering is P2 not P3

You do have to have CFS3 (you can a get a copy between $4.99 and $9.99 on eBay or Amazon). You can buy OFF P3 here: http://www.overflandersfields.com/ It has the best offline campaign engine I have ever seen. That is worth the price by itself. here is a great link to all the features and will probaly answer most of your questions about the sim (tons of info here) : http://www.overflandersfields.com/features.htm I'll be writing a review shortly focusing on the campaign engine itself. and SIM HQ did a great review of the game here (talks about the features again but the link above should answer everything). http://www.simhq.com/_air12/air_401a.html

Bullethead had started a good thread with analysis on the type of kills and how the AI responded. Maybe someone can dig it up . I think it is the same one Rickity mentions.

the info is important..I just wish I had Erik's brain to tell you what it could be , he might be able to shed light on it later.

Nice! we should definitely keep this thread going with more stories and pics.

The Xs is probably due to the new forum skin. Fates will sort it out tonight. As far as outages, it could have been something Erik was doing that he could not do live. Sometimes a very temporary outage might occur because some maintenance that is being done on other parts of the overall site. Generally Combatace does not have a lot of downtime but since we are adding sub groups to the OFF section perhaps a few small issues might be expected the first few days until it is all sorted out (like the forum skin etc.).

we should seriously consider a historical thread keeping track of aces met....congratulations!

Ok I have actually become Fate's biggest fan boy. notice the trench like destruction on the fonts and the Fokker camo pattern on the right...are you kidding me? Mike , this is incredible!

Now that is the real beauty of this sim.....it let's you explore history...if you find out who he is , please post (He was real and he did live...)

1. Great report I congratulate you! 2. First report of shooting down an ACE in campaign mode that I have read about at SOH or here (it's a big deal for me anyway and another huge reason for Siggi to reconsider labels LOL!...yes Siggi I will never quit....). 3. Please post the confirmation or denial once you find out (I am crossing my fingers for you). 4. Get screenshot utility program, set it up and snap away....in any game or movie or anything on your PC screen. download it here: http://www.download.com/Screenshot-Utility...4-10061032.html
