What he said! Co-ool Beans!

I've had CH Pro Pedals for 3 1/2 years now and they're still going strong They'll slide around on carpeting but a little double sided tape fixes that

Beautiful work on the Nieups sandbagger She''l be an excellent addition to OFF Can't wait to take her up Can you give us just a wee little hint on her handling?

Nice shots Widow and you're skinning fits right in Can't telll where the OFF skins end and yours start My favorite in the Night shot of the Camel overflying the doomed Zepplin

An amazing time in history How many times has the fate of a country rested in the hands of so small a group? Thermopylae comes to mind, where 300 Spartans, 700 Thespians, and 400 Thepans held off the entire Persian Army to those brave pilots and their resolute defence of their island

Hi src, nice idea! But, like Baldric, I've never used Facebook Suspect many of our ...erm middle age crowd (me included) here don't use FB How is that an advantage over this forum?

Scary real!

I think "Telephone Pole" is a generic term that is assigned to incosequential objests in the sim I must admit, I haven't seen that since way back in P1 Usually seen during airfield attacks, "Telephone Pole Destroyed" messages would regularly pop up I can't remember what types of objects they were assigned to though My guess is you damaged something earlier in the flight and it didn't get around to combusting til your wings came off

PACMAN, Joysticks threads pop up here about every 2-3 months Lot's of good info there Forum search would bring up a lot of history I use a MS Sindwinder II Never has there been a better Stall Shudder But programming Software doesn't work and flight resistance is rather weak I think the latter are common problems due it not being 100% compatible with XP But it's the best off the 4 I've owned

Great work Paarma, Otto! I especially like Herr Scheutzel's skin Brings back memories of youth ...Kill the wabbit, Kill the wabbit Hahahahah!

No truer words can be spoken about our beloved Devs You guys are truly amazing ...and we the lucky beneficiaries! The skins are outstanding And it'll sure be fun to personalize them too Great work Makai and much thanks

Sharp as a tack right til the end Rest in Peace Henry

Yeah, it's run it's course But I don't think we got nasty or personal otherwise the Mods would've squashed it Cheers Gous!

The man you want to speak to is Bullethead He's flown several Fee carreers As best I remember, this is correct You need to join a fighter squadron not bomber There was some mention of changing some file file text to fighterbomber to get better dual role actions Yesterday, Bullet said he'd wouldn't be around til late tonight But I'm sure he'll give you the nuts and bolts when he's back

Yes, the model obviously had a huge power/weight ratio But still an amazing exibition of hand-eye coordination

It's all too easy to blame the big bad bureaucracy It's all a conspiracy, government, business, movie industry, they're all in it together Never has there been an easier target ...it can't answer back ...Muh hah haha haha hah! All a bunch of misdirection to hide the real point we're debating "Should we honor/respect those who died in persuit of freedom and the memorials to them?" But to answer your questions: Probably not any movies about reluctant German soldiers is becuase the time to resist came many years earlier How about Kristal Nacht when people were dragged out of their houses just because of their religion? But all stayed home as long as they're not attacking me, I'm not getting involved Rightly so, the movies are made of the Brits, Ausies, Canadians, Frenchmen, and Americans who put this nonsense to an end (Sorry if I missed anyone) Can we respect monuments to these heroes? Yes I do believe their are real Nukes out there! Let see, Russia is an unstable, quasi-democracy (at best) with a lingering cold war grudge They're already teaching the Iranians how to make nukes And Iran, the #1 sponsor of terrorism in the world, not a good combination eh? Let's see now ...#1 sponsor of terrorism and #1 terrorist, who crashes jumbo jets into office buildings Don't you think it should be stopped here rather than having another North Korea on our hands? Can we respect the monuments to the soldiers who are trying to prevent this? Nope, USA is not perfect, we struggle with difficult issues as all democracies do Why don't we use the UN for what is as intended, to ensure world peace? US can't do ourselves, we're bogged down in 2 wars against despotic foes right now Many nations have agreed and are fighting for peace right along side Or should we say "They're not attacking me, I'm not getting involved"? Or better yet ..."It's the governemt, big business, and the movie industry making this all up!!!!" We've gotten way off course here This thread was started about a simple issue A drunken young man who pissed on a memorial to those who died in pursuit of freedom Should we respect memorials to those who died so we can breath free?

PACMAN, the baptism of fire is sure a tough one in OFF Better luck next bloke It's good prctice to mange your fuel load every mission The aircraft performance with vary as the fuel load changes Good Rule that works well: 50% extra fuel when staying behind your lines 100% extra fuel when crossing over the lines HTH,

This memorial was not to the soldiers who burned bodies at Auschwitz or those who raped Nanking More likely to those who overcame those genocidal despots Thank God they were willing to follow thier orders, risk their lives, and liberate those at risk There will likely always be maniacs who'll murder millions to further their psychophathic whims There's one trotting around Afghanistan, or maybe Pakistan, who wants to get his hands on a nuclear weapon now Many an ordinary man, with nothing to gain for himself, is out there chasing him to keep us safe Can't we even respect a rock that has been placed to honor those who died trying in this noble cause?

A wonderful yet very surprising day in history I remember, I expected the Iron Boot of Communism to fall at any moment Our German friends must be espeially happy today Cheers Deutchland!

Hi Daver, Welcome to OFF You won't regret this purchase at all OFF is truly the most immersive sim on the market

Outstanding Scout! I never knew that was available ...works great Thanks M8

A short while back Olham posted some nice screenies of Jasta 34 Dr1's and Albatross They had a white tail with blue fusalage bands ...real sweet lookin Thought I must try that squad out, but in my beloved DVII of course Got my chance, Jasta 34 was posted in Flanders, June 1918 ...even better I was getting a steady diet of Camels, Se5's, and Spad's, and the Biffs hadn't shown up yet Everything was jolly good til I landed and got a special pop-up a few days ago It was a one liner some I thought a special citation maybe??? But no, OFF had something in store for me ...Jasta 34 is transitioning to Albatross DVa200's I'm a Fokker guy and have no clue how to fight in an Albatross!!! So this is my call for help What are her strengths/weaknesses? What should I what out for in opponents?

I'll pass on the info to everyone if I find them Hoping there's a stash squirreled away somewhere Til then, best bet's probably ebay

Not so fast ...how about those morons on the Levy Commission (or whatever it's called) who spent millions and did absolutely nothing for 40 years! They knew all abot this problem since Camilla in 68 and the levies might hold a Category 3 at best OK, this rounds on me

I find all the talk of "is this or that war justified?" to be ridiculous Any fault for getting involved in an unjust war lays squarely on the politicians backs The soldiers are ordered to go do their duty and with rare exception they perform above reproach And some of them suffer bodily and psychological injuries, still others sacrifice their very lives Pissing on the memorials of the honored dead is disgusting and a naively misdirected protest If you don't like the decisions the politians are making ...join a political party that suites your believes Vote the morons out of office and help create a more morally correct path as you see it Then stop and marvel that in this world of ditatorships, theocracies that you are free to participate in government ...and of the countless soldiers who fought and died to provide you that right
