  1. As for me I should not indicate anything more than I am just getting started. I am working on a French spad VII with my last dog as emblem. My eventual intent is do do the Spad XIII's of the 94th Aero squad from 1919. Sometimes referred to as the "showbird spads". I would welcome anybody else doing them as well since my abililities are entirely unknown at this time.
  2. My best mission at all

    Way to go Luiz Carlos! The war is over! You won! Hahaha, so much fun. Cheers!

  5. Winston's tracers and smoke mod

    Thank you Mr. DoRight. I have not done this yet but this seems to be what I was waiting for.
  6. First SimHQ, now SOH

    Well now, and here we are a rather happy lot. I wonder though if we are doing our bit to support Combat Ace financially. I know I have not, money very tight right now, but I will do my bit when I can. I don't want to take anything for granted. That's how you lose some of the better things in life. I wonder also how sales of our favorite sim are going. I see an ever fresh bunch of new faces here on the forum and I'm very happy about that.
  7. OFF P3 is.....

    quote Siggi [Winder, the AA is configurable via WS, but the realism-rating sours it for some I believe. Being brought down by AA should be not so common, without suffering a realism % hit by so making it. ] quote Jammer28 [My only wish, and not a criticism, is to be able to crash land (and survive) or land with injuries and spend some time in hospital.] Winder, I am in agreement with all the comments so far. The 2 points I quoted could be areas for change. Is there any chance of the tracer enhancement mod being part of a patch? It sounds like the guys that have done it enjoy it but I don't trust myself to muck about in the files. Thanks again for all you've done and continue to do. Best wishes, Jim
  8. Wings Of Honor's OFF P3 Review

    Extensive review there Gremlin. Seems fair and on the money. I hope the review has the effect of introducing more people to OFF BH&H.
  9. What a p*sser

    Heck yeah, left some out too. There are musky and musky/pike hybrids.
  10. Non-recoverable spins reconsidered...

    Sometimes when I am spinning and cannot regain control I find that if I throttle way back that I can recover. With engine at full in a spin I'm done for.
  11. What a p*sser

    Fishing the river I never know what might be on the line, small mouth, large mouth, carp, sheepshead, redhorse, sturgeon, rock bass, sauger, walleye, Jumbo catfish, Northern pike, dogfish, sunfish, crappie, you just never know. I love to go to Maui Hawaii. When I had a job we would go every year. I love to saltwater fish there over the side drifting the reefs. First catch for me was a Papio or young Jack Trevally. I've caught many types there, brought some back to the condo and had a wonderful meal. Such memories.
  12. What a p*sser

    Me, I love to fish for pike. Carp, I have Koi in my garden pond. I mucked out the pond today and it should be fish ready tomorrow. I live on the St. Croix river, Minnesota/Wisconsin border. All kinds of fish to be had in there. Can't wait to get down to the dock.
  13. Engine Sounds

    Thanks for the information Tamper. Duce my chair is made by Ace Bayou. My chair is the X ROCKER. They make a lot of these game chairs. I can only vouch for this one and base my recommendation on the fact of the seperate vibration control and function. It also has volume and bass controls. Inputs are standard right/left audio jacks. You will want it to be the pedestal model as well. I just searched online again and apparently my chair has been replaced by a new model the XRockerII. It does not seem to have a pedestal. There is a wireless option also. I can't find my chair anywhere now and a month ago I had no problem finding it at Amazon or Target websites. Good luck.
  14. Engine Sounds

    Well what I'm talking about is besides the speakers. It is like a rumble/vibration console contoller only bigger. Whatever you call it.
  15. Way to go Cosmo! Too bad you're still waiting. Welcome to the club!
  16. DiD pilots.

    Very good points Siggi. I will adapt that date routine that you described. Seems it may well help to see more claims confirmed too.
  17. What a p*sser

    Sorry for your bloody luck mate. Tis indeed a pisser. I do hope it heals fast and you aren't too crippled. Bummer :crutch00:
  18. DiD pilots.

    I will reporting back to the board soon I hope. Here are my excuses. All kinds of new gear to setup and set preferences for. Need to go back to flight school and relearn how to fly with new gear and confirm configurations. Looking for work. Been trying to sort out the skinning business and win the monitor. Spring has sprung so I've had a lot of outdoor work to do. But all is good and I hope to report a new pilot soon.
  19. Engine Sounds

    The sound fx are excellent indeed. Headphones are great to use. Sometimes I fly with this setup. In front of me I have 2 speakers and a subwoofer powered by an amplifier, a speaker to either side of my monitor. And the chair I sit in has has two speakers at the top of the backrest and a sub-woofer inside the chair as well. This is a gaming chair typically used with console systems but this chair has one more feature. There are some kind of additional gizmos inside the chair to increase the rumble. Some vibrating mechanizm besides the speakers. You know what our crates are made of, well this chair feels like you are sitting in a crate with a motor running. The speaker volume and chair vibration are adjustable by seperate controllers. The steady running of the motor is conveyed to your spine and seat in a most pleasant way and if you have altitude and cut the engine the seat stops vibrating. If an aa shell were then to burst nearby you can feel the percussion of it. You guys hear explosions, I feel them. If you change your throttle you feel it, you can feel how your engine is running. Now I have a force feedback stick and that is great. But this is a force feedback chair that is only missing the g-forces. I can't say it is as good as trackir but with trackir, ffb stick and this chair the flying is super incredibly immersive. I don't own this company but I wish all of you could try this chair I think many of you would then have to have it. It comes on a base but I found the out of box set up to be too low,Made for kids, and I put the chair on an office chair base with wheels which works very nicely now. If you check on these chairs you'll want one on a pedistal and the vibrating motors in addition to the speakers. Why do I sometimes fly with this setup? Because I like to run it loud. Wife has a phone job. She's payin the bills soooo.... Sorry I had no luck finding a link to add. But this chair is not a rocker, I'm too old for that, it's on a pedistal. There seems to be a lot of choices on the net. I happened into mine for very cheap. I share this again as I never see any comments of this type of chair being used in the forum.
  20. Very, very nice Lou. Looks like a believeable skin to me, authentic. Is it based on reality or strictly your imagination?
  21. Herr Olham, diese ist mein leibling entwurf von Mahlo, phantastisch. Der Flagge Deutscheland. Please pardon poor german.
  22. I hope

    Welcome fokker-dr1, I hope you get the sim soon and that it runs well on your computer. Let us know how it works for you.
  23. Well, for me the key is "Try to take refuge at a friendly base" in which case someone is around. Right?
