Happy thanksgiving, though I dont follow it being English and all that but I can understand any excuse for a few drinks... to you guys and girls and my thoughts to those still in the field...

Okay the C model is Air 2 Air and the A ground pounding...

Noooo don't tell Herr Olham... as the site will become waterlogged...

In case you need the link I forgot to add it... http://www.flightgear.org/

I looked at this a while ago but something didn't sit right to be honest... call me paranoid with the old Interweb in general... maybe it was the screenies looking too much like flightgear which I have downloaded... afrter doing some looking it looks like the website owner is selling a lot of GPL stuff which is out of date. Personally try to get a refund if you have bought it otherwise go for the Flightgear stuff its free and it is the same and is the newer version.

Thank you RAF_Lou... in your frozen corner of the world enjoy the coffee when you get there... downloaded them all last night and had a browse through them...

Oh the weather outside is frightening... Old Chap make the most of it as its all you will see this year... here in Sunny Vienna the weather forecasters aresaying we will get Snow starting Saturday and it might just might stop by the following saturday... now thats going to be fun... wheres me skis...

Is not going to say much on this as it would be full of expletives... Why don't they scrap the A400M buy more C-130's and C-17'S which work... and the money saved would fund harriers and Ark for next few years... Oh thats it the A-400 is a make work for Europe job... But to be honest its a very sad day for the Fleet Air Arm and the Fleet and the RAF finally get rid of the only jet that is worth its weight in gold and lives... Stupid stupid and in case you didn't get it STUPID!!!

I will put mine in the bin as this one is much better than my terrible attempt...

Great stuff Lou... thanks for spending time and patience doing all this work... I owe you a good pint of Guiness or whatever...

Welcome back to the War hope your leave was a good one... mines a good single malt... its kept under the bar...

A week.... a week he says me I just want to survive the first flight... Here's a quick summary of flight... Walk out to plane, check the Ennie over make sure everything does what it should and then climb in start engine... leave to warm gently... open throttle slowly until full power and take off follow my mates into the sky... and try to stay with them up up we go to 8000ft to 10000ft (2500m to 3300m roughly for the Mainland Europeans) pick out the enemy dive after them promptly get jumped by a pair of Nupe 11's and thats all she wrote... The Ennie is no match for a Nupe 11... well not in my hands... so far I have ended the Fokker scourge on my own...!!! Give me a Strutter though and I manage about 10 flights...

Hi and welcome, okay as to ROF I have not owned and most likely never will. In short I have been playing flight sims for around 25 years and OFF is the best WW1 Flight sim I have seen or played... As to the Campaign it is one of the most dynamic campaigns I have ever seen flight sim or otherwise the frontlines move you see troops heading into battle you see artillery barrages gas barrages etc etc the amount of work the Dev's do amazes me even after I have been flying for a year most of the great war single seaters are in the game along with plenty of 2 seaters and people are asking for more 2 seaters... myself I have been flying the Sopwith Strutter most of the time, you can have personal skins as to pictures of whats happening I rarely take any but follow the link below http://www.overflandersfields.com/info.htm This is to the OFF site and everything in here is as we see it the youtube clips etc... The Pictures etc... Others will reply to this as well with more information... As to buying phase 4 hmmm we dont know when it is due out so personally I would buy phase 3 and HITR and then get some flying done... or even just Phase 3 so you can find out if you like it and then move up in stages... It is a marvellous piece of work also the guys on this forum are some of the best I have spoken to and have answers for most questions with regards to OFF.

Shouldn't that one be London Calling... by the Clash... And FC don't give some of these guys ideas as Nuke SAM's would cause even more problems... near misses would be a whole word of hurt...

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so As quoted in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... so 2 weeks is 2 weeks depending on your point of view... also if "2 Weeks" is said on any Lunchtime no matter where in the world it is usually a double illusion... now excuse me while I go and get myself a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster to allow myself to figure out what I wrote or pass out whichever comes first.

Okay now that is a Random way tgo start Sunday...

Welcome to the wonderful madhouse that is this forum... new guy buys the drinks... mine will be a coffee with a shot of schnapps... as to the language I am in the same situation having moved to Vienna a few months ago with work and trying to remember mein deutsch... Welcome to the War...

Happy Birthday...

Great looking Camel there... Congrats on to the parents... great work Lou... glad you are both proud of your new creation.

Happy Birthday....

Only just found out about this today... but Orbiter has gone through a major update to 2010... http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/home.php Get it here...

If you require help just ask I will aid as best as I am able... I have been flying the trusty strutter everywhere... she is good at keeping me honest. Also in case you didn't know there are 2 versions a B version no rear gunner, and the other one which comes with.

To the Gentlemen at the top I couldn't agree more and my thanks also go out to the Combatace administrators for letting you weirdly wonderful chaps in here... this is without doubt the only WW1 Forum I will ever need... all of you make this feel like a special place to visit. So I am in definite agreement... to Widowmaker Lou Olham and all you who are too numerous to mention dont forget the wonderful developers for creating this madness... the Combatace guys and girls et al... and last but not least that old timer in the corner of the mess that is UncleAl...

Here here...

Lou that was outstanding... I am sat here laughing myself to tears... Bravo sir... :drinks: :rofl:
