  2. I Don't Know Anymore Which is the Best WWI Sim!

    I can't say wich is the best. I don't have them all. I do have OFF and I love it.
  3. By Any Other Name?

    French - Guy Nie Pique British - Ritchie Teacrate German - Frank N. Stein American - Harry Toughnut others I don't recall just now.
  4. Flyboys vs Red Baron

    Oh please not Herr Cruise, bitte. I say Peter Jackson is our best chance at a proper WWI aviation film. And make it a trilogy too, I dare say. It seems he has taken on a big part of the budget already with the repro planes he has had built. Unknown actors would make the better casting choice IMO. Don't cheese-up the production with someone like T. Cruise. He is too old to play any flier in WWI.
  5. Air Fight WWI

    Wings of Glory. A game I finished. Going after the Zeps was lots of fun and the Kraut planes sure were colorful. I for one am glad that both the silent film WINGS and HELL'S ANGELS were made. They have their problems but they both show some of the real planes in action.
  6. It's no joke. Very nice offer Bruce.
  7. A little more about me

    Thanks for sharing Widow. One of the finer posts among so many wonderful posts. Not to be too maudlin or corny but I appreciate you guys as brothers. Thanks to all of you for sharing of yourselves and your talents.

    Widow, certainly not the one that sits and watches another dog latch onto your balls without trying to protect you.
  9. New Rise of Flight Release

    Being on a tight budget the RoF-ICE release is more appealing to me now. As far as looks go it's been said many times that "looks aren't everything". WARBIRDS has a WWI release out now. I wonder if that's worth getting? 12 planes as of now with online MMP.
  10. What are you listening to?

    More OPETH, no surprise, BLEAK live

    False, I can't afford such fruit. The person below me has a stinky finger.
  12. New Budweiser advert

    I know which dog I'ld rather have.

  14. <S!> and Hello from Canada

    Hello Mate! Welcome from your neighbor to the south. You're in for a grand time.
  15. New Rise of Flight Release

    Ahh.. this thread is about RoF. I see no mention of OFF. Don't choose sides but rather enjoy yourself. It's a great time to be a WWI simmer.
  16. FIFA World Cup

    Olham, you have the advantage on me. I know little of soccer. I recall when I was 12 years old and my school phys ed class they forced us to play soccer. We students mildly protested and asked why must we play soccer? The teacher said "it's the world sport and the US needs to be competitive". That did not make us care then. Now I see many soccer fields full of teams and parents watching. So it seems the campaign has had success. Perhaps the US will field stronger and more competitive teams before long.
  17. Happy Birthday Stary

    Happy birthday Ace of aces.
  18. Father's Day

    God bless all you fathers, today and everyday.
  19. What are you listening to?

    The Monkees
  20. FIFA World Cup

    I find that beer helps when it comes to watching soccer. That and turning down the sound. Whatever happened to the singing and chanting? That sounded like a good time then. I find I can't warm up to this not playing until there is a winner. And the officiating... and the acting... If it's your cup of tea that's great, best wishes to you and your favorite team. My baseball Twins just came back from a huge defecite to beat the Phillies 13-10 in 11 innings. That's overtime if you didn't know and we have a winner.
  21. WOW! What a difference...

    If you are into taking sceenshots having Pause assigned helps alot also.
  22. Hi Lou! Well to answer your question... I mostly take my pics during deliberate photo flights. Most of my pics tend to have a purpose. IE getting a pic suitable for my beer lables. So in this case, as many times, I fly way too close but I want a tight shot of 2 planes. When I think a good pic is possible I Pause. I then cycle through all possible views and I try to compose what to my eye is a nice pic. Besides cycling the views I pan in and out. That pic of the DVII pilot was a max zoom-in shot while we were already in spitting distance. The shots with the Spad and Fokker so close were taken just prior to collision. If one looks you can see the DVII's rudder poking up through the upper wing plane of the Spad. I send the picks to Photobucket. I find Photobucket has all the tools I need for editng the pics and providing the image links for forum posting. I always try to crop the pics to aid in composition and to eliminate any on screen messages. If I take pics while Pause is flashing I wait until Pause is not displayed. I use the free FRAPS program. So there, more info than cared for but maybe someone will get a new idea for thier pic taking.
  23. Shucks, it feels nice to be back.
  24. posting pics

    Like MigBuster said.
  25. WOW! What a difference...

    Oh yes, I have it set up on my X-52 and it is very useful.
