Must admit now that I am back flying again I love the Strutter... both as a fighter and a bomber and general nusicance causer... for me its perfect in 1916 RNAS 4... Yes it does get a bit relentless with Ennies always around as your foe but hey makes it fun as well as you get to learn the enemy as much as you get to learn your own plane...

Standard UK weather then...

What needs to be done is to take back Hero for people like this not to find a new one, the new upstart so-calleds should find a new word for themselves as they all seem useless to me at doing anything heroic like this... they would all runaway wanting their mothers or whatever... okay rant over... This man is a true Hero...

Must admit I didn't really read it too well so my apologies... I have used the site infrequently but last used it a couple of years back when I downloaded the wonderful A-26 I think it was for FSX...

Must admit on Sunday to recover from Saturday I watched :- Battle of Britain The Blue Max Flight of the Intruder The Great Escape (Okay only a little flying but hey)...

He Mentioned P4... did you read that... Sorry having one of those moments again...

Happy Birthday...

:yes:

Don't think their that cruel round here... been using a hotmail account here for around 6-7 years...

Glad your okay bud... as to the slivers of metal in you sometimes they come out sometimes they don't... have/had 3 in me I am down to 2 now... still sets the alarms off at the airport...

Oh they sure do...

Happy Birthday to you guys...

I have been reading the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy again and this section is perfect for us on this website The Art of Flying section The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy states: "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. Its knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that provides the difficulties." A Lesson in Flying How to Fly Getting Started From The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: You must learn how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day and try it. The first part is easy. All it requires is the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt. That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. If you are really trying properly, the likelihood is that you will fail to miss the ground fairly hard. One problem is that you have to miss the ground accidentally. It's no good deliberately intending to miss the ground because you won't. You have to have your attention suddenly distracted by something else then you're halfway there, so that you are no longer thinking about falling, or about the ground, or about how much it's going to hurt if you fail to miss it. It is notoriously difficult to prise your attention away from these three things during the split second you have at your disposal. Hence most people's failure, and their eventual disillusionment with this exhilarating and spectacular sport. If, however, you are lucky enough to have your attention momentarily distracted at the crucial moment by, say, a gorgeous pair of legs (tentacles, pseudopodia, according to phyllum and/or personal inclination), or a bomb going off in your vicinity, or by suddenly spotting an extremely rare species of beetle crawling along a nearby twig, then in your astonishment you will miss the ground completely and remain bobbing just a few inches above the ground in what might seem to be a slightly foolish manner. This is the moment for superb and delicate concentration. Bob and float. Float and bob. Ignore all considerations of your own weight and simply let yourself waft higher. Do not listen to what anybody says to you at this point because they are unlikely to say anything helpful. They are most likely to say something along the lines of "Good God, man, you can't possibly be flying!" It is vitally important not to believe them or they will suddenly be right. Waft higher and higher. Try a few swoops, gentle ones at first, then drift above the treetops, breathing regularily. DO NOT WAVE AT ANYBODY. Landing With more experience, you will learn how to land properly, which is something you will almost certainly screw up, and screw up badly, on your first attempt. Flight School There are private flying clubs you can join which help you with the all important moment of distraction. They hire people with surprising bodies or opinions to leap out from behind bushes and exhibit and/or explain them at the critical moments. Few genuine hitchhikers will be able to afford to join these clubs, but some may be able to get temporary employment at them. Good luck and I will not be held accountable if you try...

Okay I run Win64 with OFF though it took me more than a few attempts to install it... you need to install everything into the X86 folder and then set everything to be run as an Admin. Well thats what finally worked for me... Go for Phase 3... welcome to the war and mud oh and new guy buys the drinks...

Nice and Warm here in Vienna... shame I am in work as I need to practice flying... or as Douglas Adam's put it... "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. Its knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that provides the difficulties."

You old Cranky up there is right... is there a B-1B or B1-B or a B-2... sheesh some of these people...

Well finally after nearly 5 months I am back in the war and flying again... Windows 7 is nasty at letting things run ho hum... anyway its nice to be back first flight parked it in the mud after being bounced by 4 Einie's this Nieuport 11 has barely any view out I may go back to my Sopwith at least that I could fly and fight with...

Hey I resemble that remark...

See it this way its not your turn to go into the meat grinder that day... thats how I look at it. See it as a rest day or that not enough planes could be made ready...

Looking good there...
