British, if you are more than fishing here I wish you well. If you are fishing I wish you well also. For me I would be happy for anything you might make. If I were to choose I would say the Hansa Brandenberg W.29.

I find all of this very interesting of course. I am humbled yet again. I hope to see the program. Makai in hawaiian mean's "toward the sea" or some such. The nic makes very good sense to me now. Many thanks to all the team members who make the time in their real lives to work so dilligently on our wonderful sim.

Viel dank, Herr Olham das fogel ist schon. Wie viel uhr ist fruhstuken?

Something in my bones says you are right. I have felt it for the past 2 days. I like that poster Olham. Isaved a copy for myself.

Yeah, I'ld like to see the camo on the upper wing.

Uncle if there is a Pole in the air I'ld rather not smell him, nor him me.

Pulp Fiction?

ZZ, Oh yeah "the Leaker" is there quite often. I just hope he's using a coffee tin or something. Seems to be a habit of the mechanics. Congrats on your capture! You never know what will transpire in OFFworld. Good thing you got a photo.

For what it's worth I did not get Empire for the fact of Steam. I would dearly love the Sea Battles aspect of the game and maybe the rest as well but I'm just not giving up on my computer/connection freedom. I see that another game gets flight and damage model "upgrades" against the wishes of the user and the user has no ability to revert to previous versions. I thank God that OBD manages the downloads and content the way they do. I never feel at odds with OBD and I don't expect I ever will.

Aloha Makai, OFF No Ka Oi! We don't see you often enough around here but when you show up you have great news. Thanks again for all your hard work and to the rest of the skinners and the whole OBD team a big Mahalo, Thanks!

That sounds great Beard! You know I'm hot for them birds.

BH, I did not say the X45 was still available. I got mine secondhand, like new, for $10 but no software. After years of twisty sticks the throttle rocker has been a challenge but I'm catching on. Thanks for sending the profile.

Logic is on SD's side. Experience is with BH. Hey as long as it works. I saw the X52 today and I can't see any advantage over the X45 for OFF. Actually it seems a step back with the twisty rudder. BH, I'ld like to see you X45 profile please?

I bought this today hoping it was the DVD, says right on the package, PC CD ROM, yeah bright, huh? So it's the 2 discer. I have not reinstalled. I don't think I will. I have an extra copy now. Maybe I'll run P2 on my Dell XP with it. But it's in a DVD case, you guys!

Bullethead, that Jutland game looks like something I would really like. You worked on that one? I'm going bak to the site to read about it.

That's exciting Sandbagger. Sounds like a lot of work just to do the research let alone the skinning. Thanks for the info.

Here's a little nocturnal mission. Stop the French Spy it's called. Fly to Douai airfield and get you next instruction.... I found the truck at the airfield but did not understand what to do from that point as I did not seem to get further instructions. But it was fun anyway.

Interesting approach Rooster. So you have a face to go with the names. That would make you care even more. More immersion.

Big help I am. I have a book "Aircraft in Profile Vol.1" with color pics but I do not have a working scanner right now. I do have an extra copy of the book tho. Show five aircraft including McCudden's not Mannocks.

Hey guys, I have it on my heart to share something with you that you might find advantages. Sorry this is available to US addresses only. As we have shared our hobbies and interests in a recent thread here I see so many readers of all genre's. I belong to an online paperback bookswap club. As an example I just recently received: The Jasta War Chronology by Norman Franks, Bailey and Duiven British Fighter Units, Western Front 1917-1918 byAlex Revell German Fighter Units, June 1917-1918 by Alex Imrie Bristol Fighter in Action, Signal/squadron #137 de Haviland DH4, From Flaming Coffin to Living Legend, National Air and Space Museum I am now expecting; No Parachute by Arthur Gould Lee The Terror Before Trafalgar: Nelson, Napolean and the Secret War by Tom Pocock Too Few for Drums by R.F. Delderfield Seven Came Through by Capatain Eddie Rickenbacker Seize the Fire CD: Heroism, Duty and the Battle of Trafalgar by Adam Nicholson Many of the books I have received are hardcover, some 1st editions and some inscribed by author. Books on tape and CD are also available. If the books you want are not currently available you have a personal want list available of up to 200 books. You may well imagine that I have a list full of WWI and Age of Sail books and I do. But I can tell you that I am number 1 on the waitlist for most of the books I want. When a book on my list becomes available I can have auto accept for it or I may review the book to see if I still care to receive it. This works either by paying for the book to be sent to you or by listing your unneeded/unwanted books that others then request from you. You send the book via media mail postage. When the book is received by requestor they acknowledge the fact and you are rewarded a credit. This credit then allows you to request an available book at no further charge to you, the sender pays the postage. I have completed my collection of; C.S. Forester-Hornblower series Patrick O'Brian-Aubrey/Maturin series Alexander Kent-Bolitho series H.P. Lovecraft and so many other books including "Ace of the Iron Cross" by Udet, "Hat in the Ring" by Frandsen, "Frank Luke: the Septmeber Rampage" by Haiber and I could go on and on. So if you find money is short or you believe in recycling and you like/love to read this may be a good source of books for you and a way to share your unwanted books. There is no charge to join and no charge per transaction. I have saved a lot of money and not paid the site one cent. I've been at this for a year and a half now.

If my explanation is not clear the website will help you to understand. Best Wishes, Jim aka Rickitycrate

Sorry Olham. Maybe there is such a website if you look. I wish this could be international. Most days I get at least one book in the mail. Yesterday I sent 9 books out. I get feedback from the people that get my books and they say that I wrap my books to make them bulletproof. Maybe that's because I get shot at so much in OFF, hehe.

Keep this one alive. Perhaps he will be your Udet.

Stump, if you have some titles let me know and I'll watch for them otherwise anything like that that becomes available I would scarf up any way.

Gromit, I see now why you waited a few days to start your first campaign. You are serious about this. A wonderful report you shared with my coffee, thanks.

Bird Dog, Well I do have some books I would make available if you were on the Swap. Mr. Lucky calling me lucky. Nice way to start my day after church, thanks. I love the A/M series and the lucky part is that I actually have read them all. I only wish there were the equivilant in the WWI Airwar Theatre. Perhaps someone from our forum will be the O'Brian of this subject. Many of the books I get credit for sending I either got for free or 10 cents or a quarter. So for many of the wonderful books I receive I consider that I have them for the sake of the postage and a little bit of work.
