Tonyo - legion

Its a rest thats well deserved

Hi everyone, Sorry i havent been in touch lately, but work/home commitments have been keeping me pretty busy. I went to old warden today to see the shuttleworth collection & have some pics which might be of some interest to you.. Theyre getting them ready for this years flying season, The Se5a was in hangar having engine maintainance, as was the bristol F2b

Hi Olham, she certainly is a beautiful machine - a real thoroughbred, I do have some more shots to post, but for some reason, I cant get them to upload, maybe the file sizes are too big!

So would I, but theres so many, It would probably take ages. the other option would be to have more A/c as single add-on packs, but the trouble is: which ones would you start with first,

Thanks Mr DoRight, I will try this out hopefully sometime over the weekend. TonyO.

Widowmaker, Your hand injury does sound painful - Ouch! - only been fishing once in my life - it was on the solent on this small fishing boat & we went for mackrel, the sea was so rough everybody was hanging on to the sides of the boat, puking their insides up - not a pretty sight. I think it was fair to say that the fish ate better then we did that day - I decided that the sea wasnt for me, & would stay a landlubber & skylubber (if thats such a word). Get well soon, & be wary of any infection - you may need a course of antibiotics.

I agree with Polovski & Interlocutor on this, theres many variables which would reduce the range of your vision flying a/c of this time period, vibration, cockpits open to the elements, size of A/c ,dirty goggles, smoke from ground battles etc these all have to be taken into account. I also fly without TAC, but sometimes have the labels turned on in case theres a good screenshot opportunity - but only for that reason, I invariably end up as a lawn dart, - I fly the BE2 a lot, which is just cannon fodder, I'm happy to end a mission having completed all the objectives & still be alive, never minding about kills... He who fights & runs away..... can get his ar*e kicked another day!!!

Thanks Homeboy - The command key card Is far better than i could have done.

I Voted OK too, even though i lose a lot of pilots, its always down to my foolish behaviour in the air, such as flying too low & being hit by flak, or trying to take on 5 enemy a/c who are at least 1,000 feet above me who promptly dive down & frag my ar*e!!! I am one of those people who are more than satisified with the best wwI flight sim out there. to put it simply - IT ROCKS!!!!!!!

Anytime!

Yes, As theyre so fragile the less bumps the better apparently they take some controlling.

The Sopwith Tripe is having some SERIOUS maintainance!!!

More Photos....

I voted for the Zeppelin, but totally agree with OVS on this one, its important to get the earlier a/c done first from a historical point of view, Also please consider, couldrons, Voisins, bleriots Fokker DII's Taube aviatik etc, :yes:

Excellent camo patterns - how long did they take you?

And i third them!! An excellent music score, & worthy of a hollywood movie. Its a music score that i never tire of listening to

You got Oswald Boelcke Salute! I've been up against leffers & Parshau while flying my trusty??? Be2, (keeps getting downed by groundfire) Put a decent few rounds into Leffers from close range, but no effect on the way home - got hit by groundfire AGAIN!!! - I MUST stop going down for a closer look

Nice Skins Lou, But where's the Dolphin? Tonyo.

Brilliant Screenshots MK2, What system spec do you have? I still havent tried the Spad yet, i'm still getting cut to ribbons by the groundfire in my Be2 Tonyo.

Many Thanks MK2, For setting up this forum, a superb gesture, totally agree with what Fenriswlf said, BTW Silverbolts - love your avatar man, brilliant

Thats good news, glad to hear it.
