Rick Rawlings

MFair! Woo! Great time to be back! If it's not T, it may be D, which is the button that jumped into my mind before I read elephant's T. And elephants famously never forget and Rick Rawlingses definitely do, so it's probably T...

The 25th Anniversary Edition!

Hey guys, I've started a new Let's Play WOFF series: We'll see how far I make it. If you can like the video, I think it makes it more visible which may drum up some more support. Thanks, RR

Welcome back! The new OTT expansion rocks!

They say the grass is always greener...after the 1.15 patch! #24

Hey don! This video may help, it turns out that getting a clean install of WOFF can be harder than I originally thought. Best of luck!

23!

I know. Think of all the WWI aircraft scrapped at the end of the conflict. And WWII ones, and so on! In a similar vein, my Grandfather had a bunch of firearms that he collected during the war, including a nice Walther P-38, but he was told they could only bring back one and that they would be searched and if they tried to bring back more, it would delay their discharge. So he farmed them out to some "friends" who swore they would get them back to him once state-side. Well, of course they were never searched and of course he never saw the guys or the guns again! At least he held on to one Sauer that I got a hold of!

My grandfather brought a few items back from his time in Europe and I was fortunate enough to inherit some of them. One was a German helmet that I originally thought was a proper WWII helmet, but I brought it back from my parents a few years ago and noticed it was actually a WWI model! With a metal frame, it would be an M1917. There were no leather supports when I got it (so I'm guessing it was never used) and the metal frame had unfortunately rusted from years in my grandfather's garage but I was able to get a nice reproduction and a chin strap from the Prairie Flower Leather Company. The inside of the shell is stamped Si66, which would make it a size 66 from the manufacturer below: Si. - Eisenhütte Silesia, Paruschowitz Oberschlesien - (sizes 62, 66 shells) So I figured it was about time I got around to sharing!

Number 22!

Time for a drink...

Finally 20!

Everything's coming up #19!

It almost validates my policy of never learning my squadmate's names...🤔

The 18th of our umpteen installment series... The war is heating up out there!

It actually popped up for me in game, right after the patch announcement (which I still have to get...) While I probably won't fly those aircraft (other than the S.S.), I'll certainly get the pack to support the team and have them in the sim. Very cool! I'm looking forward to more!

That would be pretty epic!

Somebody's been busy! 👍

#17 - starting to get more exciting now that I'm back in the Nieuport...

Bit of a treat today! Polovski himself descended from the heavens to hold court and talk about all things WOFF and flight sims and even a bit about old brown dogs! So pull up a stool, grab a pint and have a listen! I think it would be great if they did this more often, I learned a lot!

#16 - Back In The Saddle Again!

That is a collection of fine looking screenshots!

Thank you! I was thrilled to hear from them too! As someone fascinated by both WWI flying and sim making, I learned a lot!

Who knows what lies in the heart of missions that don't happen? The Shadow knows!

In addition to some plane packs, there's apparently some visual upgrade that Winding Man is working on but even with the threat of me saying "Pretty please? Aw, come on!" he wouldn't elaborate at this time...
