Hi Brit, I tried to vote Normal for 1.32e and it kicked me out Saying "I had to answer each question in the poll" Maybe add a "No" respnse to each question? HTH,

Sure looks a lot like her

The plane is a Morane Saulnier L w/ Roland Garros at the controls It has the distinction of being the 1st aircraft with a fixed MG firing through the propeller arc A "parasol" monoplane, the Morane Type L was a fragile two-seat reconnaissance aircraft. It was the first aircraft armed with a fixed machine gun that fired through the propeller arc. Bullets which struck the propeller were deflected by steel plates. Armed with a Hotchkiss machine gun firing 8 mm solid copper bullets, Roland Garros tested the design in April 1915. He scored three victories in three weeks before the plane was captured by the Germans. Country: France Manufacturer: Société des Aéroplanes Morane-Saulnier Type: Fighter Reconnaissance First Introduced: 1913 Number Built: 600 Engine(s): Gnome, rotary, 80 hp Wing Span: 36 ft 9 in [11.2 m] Length: 22 ft 6¾ in [6.88 m] Height: 12 ft 10½ in [3.93 m] Empty Weight: [385 kg] Gross Weight: 1,441 lb [655 kg] Max Speed: 71.5 mph [115 kmh] Ceiling: 13,123 ft [4000 m] Endurance: 2½ hours Crew: 1 or 2 Armament: 1 machine gun

Looks like you had great time Creaghorn! Lovely little hometown to go back to Nice scenery too

Not only are the OFF Team woking on an add-on plane pack, they're working on P4 too

Crimmey, 2 more points!!! I barely have that much total Brother can you spare a dime ...point? Aww, great info though I never knew these Kriegsmarine had these crates With that range, I'm wondering if they harassed the British Coastal defenses Cheers,

Thanks for the info Rick Yes this would be a good idea...

You'll probably need to patch cfs3 to 3.1 Check your disc to see what version it is Patch is available on-line, just google it And welcone to OFF Firecage! You're gonna love it

Looks like a very interesting crate Anyone know what it's intended mission was? Tailgunner certainly had a nice unobstructed view with that inverted rudder

Your usual outstanding work Sandbagger! Thanks for all your efforts M8

Rippin Tale there Canvas Wings! Spads are the worst to try and outrun/outfox You must've used some devilish manuevers to work your way back to your lines

Yes, someone oughta tell this to the guys who get their surfboards out and head for the beach!

Ha Ha Ha ...Forum 51 it is We get a peek from a distant mountain Then the men in the trucks show up and shoo us away

Point's mute now since Erik has the situation in hand But I just clicked Advanced Search and put Pol's name in as Author

Great stuff Check 6 Thanks for posting I'd hope Peter Jackson would make a completely new WWI But I'll see/buy anything he does Heck, I'd even buy his short film if it was available! Well here's to hope

I did a quick search on Polovski's posts Only a few popped up I think all the old software posts arn't searchable ...yet???

Welcome back Creaghorn Sounds like you had a great time! We've got sumthin like the BORA here too ...Hurricanes

Here's the EV / DVIII thread http://forum.combata...__fromsearch__1

Olham, Search doesn't appear to be working (maybe just old software posts?) Found Sandbagger's post though http://forum.combata...ew-noop-anyone/ N.24 and a mystery German 2-Seater appear to be definate If you read Sandbagger's posts (15, 17, & 25) other Nieups are hinted at

Duke, Yep, Devs are pretty tightlipped on release dates Understandable as they're small team and always tweaking and perfecting There have been occasional sneak previews of upcomming planes Offhand I remember these: Nieup 24 (23 I think too) Sop Snipe Fok DVIII I'm sure there'll be much more but only the Team knows for sure

Oh come now Shred, it's the perfect analogy! Winder would be King Arthur of course You'd be Sir Shred-a-lot OVS could be... erm ...ahh ...the Black Knight at the bridge The obnoxious French guys would be the hecklers from that unnamable sim And the holy grail is undoubtedly a new engine for P4 Job's got a lot of perks ...just watch out for the flying cows

I'm not sure if the British ever showed any interest in the N.28 ...but the French rejected it completely and passed it on to the USAS Maybe USAS Brass felt like they were getting a 2nd rate plane right from the beginning The wing failures might have just reinforced their thoughts and gave an excuse to dump her There is a fairly modern equivalent to this At the time of the development of the F16, Northrup redesigned it's F5 to become the F20 The F20 was a very good plane but the USAF selected the F16 for contracts Offering both for sale worldwide, most favored nations were allowed to purchase the F16 Not so favored nations could only buy the F20 Well, nobody wanted the 2nd banana and F20 sales totaled "0" D-I-H, the Dawn Patrol planes were N.28's, Errol Flynn (err, the stunt pilot) performed a nifty barrol roll near the end There were also N.28's in Hell's Angels They were only background though in the Se5 squadrons to fill the ranks Se's got all the close-ups

That sums it up pretty well Hellman OFF is not a business venture, thus there are very few compromises OFF is a labor of love, short on cash, but long on heart Devs here have done a marvelous job and deserve to be knighted for their achievemnts

#17 is a JN-4 Curtiss Jenny The Curtiss "Jenny" America's most famous World War I airplane, was developed by combining the best features of the Curtiss "J" and "N" models. A 1915 version, the JN-3, was used in 1916 during Pershing's Punitive Expedition into Mexico. Its poor performance, however, made it unsuited for field operations. The JN-3 was modified in 1916 to improve its performance and redesignated the JN-4.With America's entry into World War I on April 6, 1917, the Signal Corps began ordering large quantities of JN-4s, and by the time production was terminated after the Armistice, more than 6,000 had been delivered, the majority of them JN-4D. The Jenny was generally used for primary flight training, but some were equipped with machine guns and bomb racks for advanced training. After World War I, hundreds were sold on the civilian market. The airplane soon became the mainstay of the "Barnstormer" of the 1920s, and some Jennies were still being flown in the 1930s. The JN-4D now on display was obtained from Mr. Robert Pfeil of Taylor, Texas in 1956. SPECIFICATIONS Span: 43 ft. 7 in. Length: 27 ft. 4 in. Height: 9 ft. 10 in. Weight: 1,430 lbs. Armament: Usually none Engine: Curtiss OX-5 of 90 hp. Cost: $5,465 PERFORMANCE Maximum Speed: 75 mph. Maximum Endurance: 2 1/2 hrs.

Thanks Fates, looks great! Lot of nice new features here too Cheers,
