Being an owner of a Motorbike and learning to ride on the correct side of the road, The Left side in case you forgot, I have had my share of moments in the UK but since coming out here the only maniac is me on the wrong side of the morning... well I normally go to work before coffee... Seriously though glad your okay WM old Chap... Saying that when I road back to England in July I was around 30miles from home and 3 times the same car driver wanted to be in my lane but in the space me and my motorbike where in... Was thinking to myself how many Austrian plated motorbikes are within this area (Leeds) thinks I and I was most likely the only one and you have to attack me 3 times in the space of 30 minutes... crazy kid in a BMW...

Damn and that was on my this weekends list of places to visit...

Now this would be an interesting one to fly... question is folks any ideas ?

Veltro... Where's the Pigeon ???

May they never be forgotten...

Frankly my damn I don't give a dear... amazed he was released let alone anything else...

Its the Terrain Following light... or so the book says...

Me I would be happy to just make 30 hours my problem though is I get to reckless and go for the kill and I always end up in dogfights below 500ft which a WW1 kite really shouldn't be doing... I just have to transfer my patience in real life across to the virtual world...

Okay just done 3 flights with my new pilot and not one of them finished okay... Most likely something I have done it just goes to black... or maybe the Gremlins in my PC are having a laugh, I get 3 Kills with less than 150 rounds and my PC is in shock... oh well onward we go... Saying that though the Sopwith Pup is a wonderful little airplane apart from I do find the limits of Stress and Speed far too quickly though I am used to a Strutter...

If nothing Else Herr Volker is teaching us all patience in a way...

Outstanding there Volker truly outstanding... the Bucc looks better and better everytime... :drinks:

Happy Birthday old Chap....

Dave this is just for you... Slightly politically incorrect...

Thanks for the share and whats OT about it as its all WW1 derived... and the look great...

Thinking about it I don't think there are any anymore the old style Elite Frontier from Dos days are gone... X3TC is a great Sandbox to play in yet it has jump gates and some of those systems you get are rather large and as to the Graphics well they are the most up to date. There is Orbiter which is a Falcon version of a Flightsim so you need to do everything right just to get into orbit... http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/

BVR is as far as I remember not against the Geneva Convention. As an ex member of the RAF I know it was practised as BVR is the only way to kill another aircraft sometimes. Also a lot of the Air to Air Kills in Gulf 1 where BVR and the majority of kills over Bosnia and Kosov where BVR with Amraam's. Anyway NazGhul as I said great skins...

It is but as this is What if anything can and usually does go... also as the Tom was flying long before the Apache it works well... just look at Spinners stuff amazing stuff but downright weird... so wrong that they are right Love the paint jobs...

I've got that sinking feeling...

Errr Gliding the old Phantom... tried it once and had to go for the E Ride out... Glides like a brick in other words STRAIGHT DOWN...

It's there to confuse you... makes you think your flying the wrong way... Interesting as I must admit sometimes I am just happy to see an Airstrip in front of me...

As a regard to Shot Placement I will agree as... I spent 10 years being paid to shoot by the UK military. But I will say this for my job I was fortunate enough to be able to choose my backup weapon and I chose a .45 simply because it puts a man on the floor. Granted I only had 8 rounds whereas my colleagues using the standard Browning 9mm had 13. The 9mm simply put doesnt stop someone unless your shot placement is damn good also with a .45 it will stop someone wearing light body armour with the correct load, it may not kill them but the energy from the round will knock them over and break bone. Personally I prefered a .308 from around 800metres... none of this close quarter stuff its seriously bad for your health...

As there is a Second I will third that... and I work in IT...!!! But then if it doesnt work I generally get a large hammer out just to make sure it isn't working...
