Thanx Unc!

I don't know about the 8800 Ultra, but for the 8800GTX normal temp is around 65C. Don't they have the same GPU? CJ

I'm telling you. There are no claims in QC. QC is meant for practice. If you want claims, you must be in Campaign mode. Just for grins I made a pilot and flew QC, me against 3 DH2s. Claims are set to normal in workshops. After downing all three I ended the flight. It took me back to the QC page. This is the pilot's dossier after the flight. No kills, no claims, just ammo/hit/miss ratio. CJ

Is this happening in QC? The reason I ask is that in QC there are no claim forms, no entries in flight logs (unless checked in Workshops), and everyone is the enemy. I'm surprised you didn't get shot at when buzzing even a friendly airfield. I have heard that if you try to land at the field you took off from they will shoot you. Campaign mode has the claims, flight log enties etc. CJ

How about a group hug with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders? CJ

Would it be "Dark Knights", or "Crispy Critters"? CJ

Do you have the little spring clip with the reflectors on it for your cap? CJ

Unfortunately, I don't have TCM. CJ

That's why they call it The Dark Side! Are we the bad guys? CJ

Righto! 250hp is over twice the hp of the original Oberursel 110hp! I'd be willing to bet that this one does indeed climb like a monkey. CJ

Welcome Junnu! You have stumbled onto a gold mine here. Lots and lots of great folks and information about a fantastic mutual interest OFF BH&H. CJ

Don't think so Olham. The DrI in your video has a rotary engine. The one in my video has a 250hp radial! CJ

There have been a lot of people who thought they were smarter than everyone else, but in the end it was them who end up looking not so smart. CJ

Hey Olham, just think what it would have been like had Richthofen and friends had DrIs like this one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xya_6xEvGd8...feature=related CJ

No, NO! Not the dreaded Honeydo list....er..........novel.

IIRC I read that there are around 430 aces with correct skins depicted in BH&H. Ask OvS he should know. He skinned a boatload of them. CJ

Actually it's PLAGIARISM.

Why do you need all those fans? Just buy a freakin' air conditioner! CJ

Actually, I believe that's standard run of the mill Jasta 11 livery. CJ

I can't think of a better place to be online! So much info and great folks here. Welcome Snoopy Syndrome! CJ

My Dad used to tell me, "Mike, can't never accomplished a thing!" The best advice I can give you is, hook up those pedals, go to QC Free Flight, and practice. I like using those "pancake turns" in the DrI that Voss was so fond of and, for me, it was nearly impossible to do with a twist stick because conflict with the yaw and roll being on the same control. When I got pedals, my marksmanship improved a great deal, not to mention the immersion factor. My pedals are like my Trackir. Before I had them I didn't know what I was missing. Now that I have them and have gotten used to them, you'd have to use dynamite to get them from me. Learn to be light on your feet. Too much rudder in the DrI or Camel and you're just a tumbleweed flailing around in the sky. CJ

Thanks guys, it was a blast. Olham, if it does have the rudder in the stick, and you have pedals, just delete the rudder axis in the "Controls" menu in game. If you look close to the top of this page, Uncleal gave me the skinny on how to do it. CJ

True that Bullethead! The philosophy I've had for years is that people, in general, are stupid. Just look at the news. My philosophy is reinforced every day. CJ

I like this stick! Sidewinders rock! I'd never before used an FFB stick and was told that it was harder to hit anything but, I beg to differ. The first campaign mission I flew was in a DVII flying for Jasta 10. We were escorting Hannovers on a bombing raid at an enemy aerodrome just across the lines. The raid went off without a hitch but 10 miles from home we got jumped by 5 SPADs from an unknown Esc. I shot down two and Emil got one. Unfortunately we lost Alois in the fray. I don't know if he crashed or landed. I guess we'll find out soon ebough. After the fight Emil and I headed home and 1 1/2 miles from the aerodrome we got jumped by 5 more SPADs from Esc 103. I got 3 of the buggers and Emil got another. Emil took some rounds and had to land in a corn field. He had no choice as he was low when his engine stopped. I was chasing the last SPAD and got a few rounds into him when I saw five specks in front of us. More SPADS! I figured that discretion is the better part of valour so I wheeled around, swooped down to check on Emil who waved as I flew by and I headed for home, which was only a mile away. Emil came walking up a half an hour later smelling of benzine. He was lucky he didn't burn! Wnen I asked if he'd like a cigarette, he heartily declined! "I need a bath and a stiff drink," was all he said. I got five SPAD XIIIs and fired 620 rounds, 205 of which hit their mark. 33% hit/miss. I like this stick! CJ

Have you ever wondered what the guy says at the beginning of Snoopy vs The Red Baron? In German- Achtung! Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte Über den schweinköpfigen Hund Und den lieben Red Baron and Olham's translation- Attention! Now we sing together the story about the pigheaded dog and the nice (or gentle) Red Baron. They be talkin' some smack 'bout Snoopy. CJ
