My first pilot flies the E.III with KEK Douai - so far one sortie ending with a crash on starting and three weeks in the hospital... (I still don't know why I suddenly lost control - just throttled back a little bit to stay behind my leader and the plane simply fell out of the sky with absolutely no response to any control input )

I finally got it to work! For all the Win7 users out there who encounter the same problem: start the TrackIR software in the admin mode!

Believe me, I know a lot about 3D tracking... (TrackIR only works with just three "reflectors" because you have the knowlege wich solutions you can reject) I have tried every available view - without success! The strange thing is - when the software recognizes a game in its list running the lower LED gets blue - but with OFF it doesn't... With the original CFS3 it is the same, in ThirdWire simulation I have no problems at all (the LED gets blue, the software recognizes the game, the head tracking works)!

Hi, maybe I'm just stupid, but I cannot get my TrackIR 4 to work with OFF - the virtual cockpit is active, the TrackIR software running, but it doesn't detect cfs3, and the blue LED doesn't light up (and my head movements are ignored). In WoE it works flawless...

Well, if I think how many German soldiers I have killed in MoH and CoD... But the interesting thing is, you can play all sides in flightsims, u-boat sims and strategy games, but NEVER the German side in a WWII shooter... (only the VC in Vietcong)

Nicht GMax, 3DS Max (2009)!

Es gibt kein Bender-Plugin für den TW Exporter (TW hat ein eigenes Modellformat!).

Why don't just add the tanks as droptanks (I can remember there was a line to make droptanks not "droppable" - somehow that sounds silly...)?

If it's called Shark, it has to have a sharkmouth!

As far as I know the B-18 was the Bolo, and the replacement for the B-10 (don't know the B-10 name...).

Das sorgt sicher für einige Konfusion (wenn man immer etwas "neben" dem erwarteten Ort liegt...)!

Interessante Diskussion - besonders, da ich momentan damit liebäugle, mir die Total War Collection (oder wie auch immer das Ding heißt) zuzulegen. Dazu passt natürlich auch, dass ich gerade erst eine Doku über den Griechisch-Persischen Krieg gesehen habe (ich weiß, etwas zu früh für den Zeitrahmen der Spiele) und vor ca. 20 Jahren begeistert Sachbücher über die Antike verschlungen habe... Mal sehen

You shouldn't bury the Zippers, you schould fly them!

Woohoo! Can we expect the G and K models too?

Well, Chevrolets here in Europe are just re-branded Daewoos... (No joke! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet#Europe) But even I would call the "real" Chevrolets "Chevy"!

Nice! But I think the "neutral" one shouldn't wear the romanian colors on the rudder...

Really looking forward to it! But I would prefer if they would spend more (time/money) on the game than on the marketing...

Hatte rein politische Gründe (ähnlich wie die fehlende Kanone beim Tiger) - man könnte das Ding ja sonst für eine "offensive" Waffe halten...

Tthree bomb disposal experts were killed by a WW2 bomb in Göttingen yesterday: (in german) http://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/bombe138.html http://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/bombe136.html (in english) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1283273/WW2-bomb-kills-G-ttingen-experts-attempt-defuse-it.html http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/817837--three-killed-trying-to-defuse-wwii-bomb-in-germany

Schon interessant - wenn du im kleinen Zmfang schmierst oder dich schmieren lässt, wird's teuer für dich (und es geht möglicherweise noch in den Knast), wenn du aber Politiker bist (und dich im GROSSEN Stil schmieren lässt), wird ein Flughafen nach dir benannt...

Noch was zu Hartmann - er hat ja nicht das Flugzeug an sich kritisiert, sondern war der Meinung, dass die Luftwaffe noch nicht für ein so komplexes Flugzeug bereit war...

Don't know if you have this list, but anyway: http://101squadron.com/101/101.html

The strange thing is, the most FM issues I have in BoR is with the He-163... (and that's definitely NO prop!) It's slower than the props, turns like a superfortress, and (i know, no FM issue) the cockpit view on the ground is "broken". I'm not complaining about the control difficulties, as far as I know it was hard to control - but it was also very maneuverable!

Well, there were a few small but important factors which *maybe* made the difference: A more modern tactic and organisation on the german side, especially the independence of the tank commanders (like Rommel) and the radios the tanks were fitted with (and not to forget the cooperation between ground forces and the Luftwaffe). The allied commanders still thought in WWI scales, equipment and tactics...
