How do you get her in the pink? I have the same mod, but I take her armor and she defaults to that annoying Steel armor. I married her, and we own a Manor in Solitude, and the Breezhouse in Whiterun.. with 40K in the bank (100 a day profit on her shop), we're kickin' ass. I let her stay home now, and it would be nice to leave her walk in the birthday suit. LOL! I've seen her pinks when she was dead... I'm convinced this game was designed by a bunch of under-sexed 20somethings... Man, she's built real nice! BTW.. as a true Nord... I'm cheating on her as well... some smokin' hot new housecarl from my Thane status in Solitude is statisfing my 'need' while on adventures... while my lovely wife rolls in dough back home. I drop off the new girl at the Manor, and head back to Whiterun to spend time with the wife now and then. Shame this is all fake... LOL!

The B.II was a very well designed and liked plane for it's purpose and time-frame. In that early era, pilots did not fly for combat, they flew for information. It was not until Garros attached the rife that it became for combat. Before then, the observer carried a rife, and tried to shoot at other observation planes with little success. There were no aerial combat tactics, no MG's mounted, no sense of fear other than the plane falling apart. The side grates are radiators as you have pointed out. Again, no need to worry as no one was shooting at them... until the interrupter gear and Lewis gun game into play for the Entente... but by then the Huns were flying the C.III, Aviatiks, Rumplers, DFW's and other better machines than this one. I wish we could have the Alb B.I and B.II, even though it did not last long, it would be a lot of fun to just do observation flights with no combat to worry about. Just flying. Knock the B.II, but I'd take it any day over that death trap Cauldron G.III/G.IV any day of the week. ;) All the best, OvS

She is sitting at the something 'Mare' Taven in Whiterun. It's the Tavern within the circle where all the merchants are. She's freakin' huge, and ugly. Like a nasty biker chic. You have to fight her first, then she will offer her services.

Some photos of me and Lydia across Skyrim... and yes... I married her. ;) We own a Manor in Solitude, and a small summer Breezehouse in Windhelm. Great game. Lydia has nice armor eh? And that's her getting hammer by a Frost Dragon. We took it down shortly after. You can keep the thief girls... Lydia is my type... hackin' and slashin' all over Skyrim. The Dragon and Spider went at it for a little while. It was fun to watch. Back to working on Phase 4. All the best.

"This is a Star?"

I thought Herm would be #1 with his 'Play to win the game' rant... but hey.. he made it twice. It was something new every week with that guy.... he was nuts... but entertaining to watch on TV. J..E..T..S... JETS JETS JETS.... no better chant in all of sports than to hear 60+K fans quiet to a pin drop and scream that all at once with Fireman Ed running the show... it really rocks!!

If you guys want to see something funny... go to Riverwood, and kill a chicken... Jesus, these people are REALLY sensitive about their chickens. I get the feeling it's a PETA camp incognito...

I've known about this one for a few years, but it's funny as hell. My brother-in-law and I still poke each other with quotes from it... "Are you Jeff Vader?" Great Stuff

Jeeze you guys are rough on Lydia. I'll get Fraps loaded and take a screen shot of us. I'm just like she is, I walk into everything, set off traps, no sneaking... etc. Like I own the f'n place. Basically my character is built like an NFL defensive linemen, and I carry enough weapons on me to wipe out all of Riften in one sweep. ;) I'll stick with her till the end... although she'll probably get us there sooner. LOL! Seriously though, this game is amazing. I hope more games use this new technology and get out of the same scripted crap we see all the time. Far Cry 2 was like this as well. You could do anything and go anywhere in that game, but it was still not anywhere near as random as this is. All the best, OvS

Wow... she's insane! Lydia is more like me. I'll have to get fraps and take a screen shot. Standing next to each other we look like twins aside from being M/F. I'll have to save my perks and work on the smithing and enchanting characteristics. I'd like to be able to weild better weapons and enchant them as well... or at least enchant the ones I have. I'm wearing the Blades armor, and I use an even mace for now along with an elven bow. I gave her a Nord Bow of Fear, and a Dwarven sword. I'm not too good with all the magic stuff... it's smash and bash the whole way for me. ;) If I start another character though, it will be a theif for sure. There is too much stuff to steal and cash in walking through this game. For now, I want to follow the story. Where the hell do you sell stuff anyway. Every shop I enter only wants me to buy from them.

Dude... you dumped Lydia?? Never... she's a freakin' tank! And has a nice voice too. I accidentially killed her once with the Force shout. She was in the blast pattern while I was getting hammered. I actually felt bad. I think I am taking this all too seriously. LOL! Great game. How do you take screen shots?

I agree. I can't say that with many games, certainly not with any of the CoD MW series (biased I know, but those games are beyond anything realistic).... but this one is definately worth the pocket coin. It's so damn random that you simply become part of the game. You have no idea what is going to happen next, there is no time limit on completing tasks. Which means you can be offered a job, and put it aside to do some personal exploring, then come back to it. The whole game basis is completely wide open. There are no rules, and nothing stopping you from doing what you want. Sure it's not the 2nd coming of Christ, but for gamers, this one is what we've been waiting for. Plus, the game is never the same twice. Even if you die, and come back to the same point, it's different. Now, if they could incorporate this graphical engine/game style into a FPS WWII game... that would be awesome! Slogging through France on foot with the 1st Inf, just going from town to town... no boundries, missions to complete, but totally unscripted... etc. Wow... that would be ultimate. :) OvS

Wow... Hellshade.. you suck!! I'm now totally addicted to this game! It's by far the most beautiful, emmense, graphically pleasing game I have ever played on a computer ... period!! Being a very old D&D player from when I was 10-13 (I'm 42 very soon), I longed for a RPG game that was not complicated to get into (nothing like the Ultima games from C-64 days), and fun to play! Man-o-man did I strike it rich with this one! I can't get over the graphics inside and out. The caves are incredible, the traps, the enemies you randomly run into...all the undead, all of it. It's like something right out of the TSR's Dungeon Master's handbook. All fluid and random, nothing is scripted. I can't get over this game. I'm a huge FPS game fan and I love all the WWII/COD games, but everything is totally scripted. There is a definate flow you have to follow, otherwise the game waits for you... but this... wow.. like nothing I have ever seen/played before. The waterfalls, the trees, the paths you walk along ... all amazing. I like to just walk through it, like I do when I go for nature walks around Long Island. The autum scenery is breathtaking. My wife (the anti-gamer) was even shocked when she looked over my shoulder to see what I was playing. Then I told her, watch this... I can actually run to that moutain in the distance. Of course as I was doing this.. .I ran into a horde of frost-spiders and she ran away in fear as she hates spiders... and in Skyrim, they look f'n real close-up. At any rate... thanks a million for posting this game. Without you mentioning it, I never would have known about it! My character 'Conan' ... as we all seem to reflect all of our inner selves when we create them ... Lvl 11 Nord Fighter/Mage.... built like a tank, bash everything, harldy use magic other than enchanted weapons. By companion is a woman, I forget her name, Leyla, or something. She was 'awarded' to me by the Jarl of Solitude. Smokin' hot, full gear, built like an Amazon, and kicks-a$$ like one too. Maybe I'll have my character marry her in the end... seems fitting. We've been through a lot, and hopefully she stays the whole game. It's a lot of fun. We recently fought a Dragon on top of mountain... it was pretty intense. The bastard kept straffing us with fire, back and forth and would not land. When it did, we both beat the crap out of it. Even the look and sight of the Dragons are intense in this game. They obviously took the needed time to model everything correctly by movement, and shape. When one flies over-head, it gives you the feeling of being totally helpless, waiting for it to breath fire, or ice. It's amazing how it's body twists and snakes around with it's long spiked tail, and serpent body, so fluid and life-like. It's almost impossible to shoot one when it's flying. I read that an etire team of developers was dedicated soley to making the Dragons in Skyrim. And it shows. I hate killing them... but it's my job.. nothing personal. LOL! All the best and lost in Skyrim! OvS

A little bit out of the WWI era, but I just put this together out of sheer boredom and a need to take a break.... If you like Rush, and a little NASA history, you should really enjoy this. :)

What's P4?

Please comment more on the OAW style being wrong. If you have historical information that can back this statement, please share it, and if there is time, corrections can/will be made to the best I can. Thanks, OvS

nbryant beat me to the punch.... There really is no better way to break it down but by 'Alliance' and plane type. Use his list above and build from there. Even countries like GB, France and Belgium that shared crates should still be listed under Entente and N.17... etc.

or this... I can definately see myself doing this.... even better... at mark 2:05 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AhChXppBRM&feature=related Love this stuff!!! OvS

The IJ2 game is the most fun. It does not follow a specific path so to speak, it follows the movie in individual little 'towns' connected to one hub world. But once each town is unlocked, you can freely move about the whole hub world and do as you please... which of course creates the scenario of 'cat and mouse' for my daughter and I. It's a whole new game to us at that point, kinda like Inspector Cluseu and Kato from the Pink Panther movies... just pummelling each other from one town to the other in the hub world. Tons of laughs for both of us.

Well, now that we've just hi-jacked this thread... how does it handle FSX? I'm still running FSX on XP, and I get those annoying memory crashes about 1 hour into flight around anywhere congested like NYC, Boston... etc.

Thanks Hellshade, I actually have the same set-up as you, including Mobo, so that GTX580 might be in my future. What did you use to cool the CPU when you overclocked it? I'll be happy to take those instructions from you. :) OvS

Parky, How about AVG and ZoneAlarm. I use those and seem to have good success with them, but other than a few websites, I don't surf too much. Also, they both do the annoying nag screens to get you to upgrade. I know it's all free, but it's annoying as hell when software does that. On a site note... above me uncleal mentions his 'antiquated' GTX260... well... I ...er .. have the same card. ;) What is a good replacement for my system. I am greatfully enjoying that i7 Quad core still, and would love to over clock it now as I still have it running at default. I've enjoyed my rig since the day you offered the advice on it, and have never looked back. But 2 years is a life-time and I'd like to upgrade to Win7 64, with some more memory, and a better vid card for Flight Sim X and OFF... and whatever else I toss at it, which has not been much lately. Love the BIA series games, but they're old now... and the COD games are getting annoying with the same thoughtless, renegade killing with no attention to tactitcs whatsoever. All the best, OvS

Ah, yes... close range, can't do it. It does hurt. I got shot in the face during one game inadvertantly as I was lying down behind a tree. It was a luck shot. Hurt like hell for a little while as he was within 20 feet. Most players simply shout 'safe-kill' and it's done. You go and respawn at the check-point... but there are the few that have to make their point... then I make mine as well next round. Hurts when the gun goes off at your a$$... accidentally of course.. ;) Sorry about the heart... yeah, maybe build a redoubt and hang-out there. Or you can play the POW, and let them free you against the enemy... etc. It's anyone's game as long as everyone has fun. Sniper in the Gilly's suit sound real good too. That's always fun. I hear guys even use claymore mines as well. I've seen the grenade launchers, they look cool, but not sure how well they work. By the sounds of what you son feels, not too good... but it looks intimidating. ;) The Nova... going slow, but good. In fact, I was working on it (FINALLY!!!) yesterday. My wife and kid were out for the day, so I slipped into the garage for a little 'me' time. It's totally stripped down now, I took out the cargo glass yesterday, and the drip-rail chrome. I'm going to start stripping the paint maybe this week if it's not too cold. Then she's finally off to the body guy. The doors, and tailgate are all done, and sprayed in the Butternut yellow I wanted. they look awesome so far. I can't wait to get the body to him. Not much to do. It's all original steel and needs very little work, but what it does need it needs badly. Thanks for asking! All the best, OvS

Gooday Smilingmonkey, Glad you stumbled on to us. Better to stumble on to us than never find us at all! First, welcome to the forum and OFF, it's great to have another pilot in the ranks. Once you get OFF, download the BHAH and upgrade via the patch list and you'll be complete with all latest patches and new stuff. You'll see right away that OFF is what many hoped would become of RB3D if Dynamix had stayed on track with the series. Being an old modder of RB3D and having two others on the team that modded the old gal as well, we knew exactly what we wanted out of OFF, and got it. So if a deep, meaningful campaign style WWI sim is what you were looking for... you just found the Holy Grail. LOL! As soon as you get settled in with the game, come back and post you thoughts and adventures. We always love to hear from new members. All the best, OvS

Great stuff! Especially when Jar-Jar Binks shows up. Yes, I'm Jeff Vader! Death by Tray!
