I've got to get up at 5 Olham so come and bomb my work place please...

Olham your right mate.Just flew a quick combat mission and got on a brisfits tail,the rear gunner gave me both barrels up my carbs before i got him.....

Well done Dej and Olham. I will never catch you at this rate........you boy's know your stuff.

Hi OHO, welcome aboard, could you post a screen shot of the clouds in question so we can see the problem. May be it's a settings thing as i don't seem to have the same concern. Don't know about the others i haven't got force feedback.

Hi Lou i think No 34 is a Maurice Farman Shorthorn. The Maurice Farman Shorthorn was designed and built in France by a pioneer aeroplane manufacturing company established by the Farman brothers. The Shorthorn became the first armed aircraft to engage in aerial combat during World War I. Its most noted service activity was as a training aircraft with No 5 Australian Flying Corps (Training) Squadron in the United Kingdom and with the Central Flying School (CFS) at Point Cook. It was affectionately known as 'Rumpety' to the students because of the noise it made while travelling over the ground. The first Maurice Farman Shorthorn was introduced into service with the Australian Flying Corps (AFC) at Point Cook in 1916 and allocated serial number CFS-7. A further four were ordered in 1917 and were allocated serial numbers CFS-16, 17, 19 and 20 and used extensively for training until 1919. One Farman crashed at Werribee during a training sortie, killing Cadet Duckworth, the first airman killed in military flying training in Australia. The remaining aircraft were offered for sale early in 1919 as these aircraft were being replaced with improved types. Mr Graham Carey purchased all four Farmans for his aerial services operating from Port Melbourne. Powered by a French 80hp Wolseley-Renault air-cooled V8 engine, the Farman is made predominantly of wood and fabric. A complex maze of wires and struts hold the upper and lower wings in place, preventing them from warping in flight.

Nice one Duce.

It will make me feel bad when i have to fill such a beauty full of lead.....can't wait

Sorry Lou getting carried away...

Lou it's the one thing we all take for granted, a Fuel gauge which could be called critical at times?

Hi Lou, is the gauge in question a air pressure gauge for the vickers gun?

Come on boy's don't give up. Lou i think you should add a extra point on for every day that goe's buy without anyone getting it right,that would keep us guessing....

Hi chaps, boy is this a hard one. My latest idea is that it is a ..... Le Prieur designed rocket fire control system,the small propeller produced the spark by way of a dyamo effect and the pilot could select which rockets were fired by using the selector on top of the box.

I'am with ZoomZoom on this one, i haven't a clue! But for another idea i think it's some sort of alternator / generator for a wireless set.

Well done Dej...

The three pigeons are called ' Sony' 'Eric' and their son

An outstanding competition Lou.

Hi Carrick thats some going. My best average is about 16 hours before i go rushing in to my doom....... so keep up the good work.

Hi chaps i think No 28 is a Sikorsky Ilya Muromets. General characteristics Crew: four to eight (up to twelve)The S-22 cockpit had sufficient space allowing several persons to observe the pilot. Openings on both sides of the fuselage permitted mechanics to climb out onto the wings to service the engines during flight. Hatch on the left side provided an exit to the front bridge. Behind the cockpit was a large passenger cabin with four large windows on each side. Placed at the rear was a stairway to the upper bridge and a washroom. Further back was a private cabin which included a berth, small table and a cabinet. Lighting was provided by a wind driven generator and heating was supplied by two long engine exhaust pipes which passed through the corners of the cabin Length: 17.5 m (57 ft 5 in) Wingspan: Top wing: 29.8 m (97 ft 9 in) Bottom wing: 21 m (68 ft 11 in) Height: 4 m (13 ft 1 in) Wing area: 125 m² (1,350 ft²) Empty weight: 3,150 kg (6,930 lb) Loaded weight: 4,600 kg (10,140 lb) Powerplant: 4× Sunbeam Crusader V8 engines, 148 hp (110 kW) [2] each * Fuel and oil: 600 kg (1,320 lb) Performance Maximum speed: 110 km/h (68 mph) Wing loading: 36.8 kg/m² (7.5 lb/ft²) Power/mass: 7.7 kg/hp (16.9 lb/hp) Endurance: 5 hours with 300 kg (660 lb) of bombs & armament, 10 hours with extra fuel. Armament Various numbers and combinations of guns at different points during the war, including 12.7 mm, 15.3 mm, 25 mm, 37 mm, and 76.2 mm guns, Maxim guns, Lewis guns, Madsen guns, Colt machine guns and Leonid Kurchevsky's experimental recoilless guns among them. Various loads of 50 kg, 100 kg and 656 kg bombs or 6 x 127 mm rockets (under the wings) depending on fuel, armament and crew carried. With three crew and two defensive machine-guns, a V type Ilya Muromets could carry 500 kg (1,100 lb) of bombs

Right with the help of the others already posted i think that the picture is of? 1. A The Morane-Saulnier L 2. The pilot is George Guynemer 3. It was taken to celebrate his first aerial victory with his gunner ' Guerder' when they shot down a Aviatik (probably a B-I), on july 19th 1915. Guynemer and Guerder were both decorated with the Médaille Militaire, right...

Hi chap's just wanted to show you this it might help you with your Frp's.I am runing a Nvidia Geforce 9500GS and have been getting about 20-30 Frp's at low level in combat which i thought wasn't to bad.Then i found this program that checks your drivers and updates them if need be. It's called Driver Detective i ran it and it found that 9 of my drivers were out of date and then let me download the most up to date ones.I'am now getting 40-50 Frp's and the picture claraty is supurb.

And i love a challange so watch this space because you never know whats coming next......
