Yes, 3 is a good setting for Terrain.

Hey, Jim, it's nice to see you here again, but please don't come back only to criticise. I mean, if the devs put lots of hours more into train building, these hours would be missing for the planes. And hardly anyone ever sees a train from so close on, right? Anorak.

I run "Terrain" at "3" - looks great from the air, and saves performance. What do you use?

Hauksbee - did you make sure during your re-install proceedure, that you did all the patching, and in the right order? - do you use any mods? If so, did you deactivate them and try it then? Guys, I repeat it: it is most often NOT NECESSARY to cure a problem with OFF by making a complete de- and re-install. That's what these WORKSHOP buttons are made for: "Reset OFF Manager" and "Reset CFS3" They have put everything back to working order for me several times. The only backdraw is, that you lose your campaign pilots that way. But that would also happen in a reinstall.

Tranq, the bruises and the purple will go away, until you are only British-pale again. The BOC went through their drawers and found this for you - a WW1 British Wound Badge. We thought you deserved to waer this at least for so long, until you have fully recovered. (After that, you will please be so kind to send it back to our Vice President Dej, Sir. Thank you very much!)

Der Löwe und die Biene - The Lion and the Honey Bee That struck my mind, when I saw the final pics - especially this one, which I treated a bit like an old-style photo - "the Lion and the Honey Bee". According to WIKI, the name originates from Greece. In the ancient mythology it stands for a nymph. "Melissa" in translation means "bee" or "the honeysweet". And that's what she is - so small and cute and sweet, like a honey bee. I bet you must be a proud father with two kids like yours now. Your little film was a fine work of art; and I was amazed to see, how much your sone has grown up from the little baby I had seen not very long ago. He is now almost big enough for flying OFF! Man, I wish you all the best for your whole little family!

Oh, you are no Sissies, chaps, are you? In WW1 that was pretty normal business - just keep your eyes open, pilot! Mmuahahahahahahaaaa!!!!! I remember reading in an English book (Gould or Lewis), how a Morane Parasol returned from artillery obs. They had a long copper line to unwind as an antenna for morse transmission. Before coming down for landing, this long antenna had to be wound up into the craft again. But this team had an encounter with Germans; they had made an evasive movement, and their antenna swung round the fuselage or rudder, and could not be pulled in again. So, at landing they still pulled this antenna wire after them, with a lead weight at the end. Some other pilots, and the Major, were just sitting at a tea time table with the Major's finest tea set on. Now, what happened was, that the lead weight hit the table, and with the copper wire they lifted it up into the air. The whole table performed a sommersault, and tea time was over. The Major's nice tea set was mostly broken, and I bet you could have witnessed one of those very rare occasions, when a British officer and gentleman lost some of his good conduct for a second or two! Next day they found a fat-written order at the blackboard: "All crew have to make sure before landing, that their antenna is hauled in!" After all, they were still lucky - the lead weight could have killed somebody.

Panama, I tried it, and it seems as if the main sim is no longer downloadable there; couldn't get any further when I clicked on "Buy now" in the head bar. Only the updates seemed to work. Sorry.

This screenshot shows, how much damage I still get, even though I use "High-res Skins". Enough for me!

Thanks for the info, Sid, I didn't know that there were 3 differently-strong Camels.

Saw it again today - it works well in full screen (with the highest YouTube resolution). I only noticed it was a video, when my stick wouldn't react on any of the craft. - Matt Milne seems to have written more parts for WOFF, as this movie reveals. The man has the right hands for writing the perfect emotional tunes for the most immersive air combat sim. - No man's land: the burning truck, the advancing tanks (did they ever do that before?). The ground battle scene is looking very realistic. - In the Camel cockpit even an energy-fighter like me would feel fine now - only thing missing is a coffee machine - stunning, brilliant art work! - Through the added detail, the Camel as well as the Dr.1 don't appear like midgets no more - they now look like dangerous combat craft. - The FE2b now also looks bigger - like a real two-seat fighter and bomber - very impressive. It pays to stop the movie, when you come to the struts and rigging of the Fee - great job! - The new AI is fabulous. The split attack of the Albs. Really outstanding: one pilot of a flight circling to check the lower six - finding enemies - this is sooooo lovely! (I know "lovely" doesn't seem to fit here, but it IS lovely to see this!)

Pilot, this is intollerable - you don't even know the NAME of your squadron's own airfield? Tch! I guess you are flying the Airco DH-2 from Bertangles, CaptSopwith? Bertangles was actually 3 airfields, like in OFF - if you want to see, where it was, see my link: http://combatace.com/topic/70823-the-bertangles-aerodromes/page__view__findpost__p__554361

Well, I'm afraid the new profile will only make you like your SPAD even more. But that's okay, nbryant - if I was an American flyer, I would definitely go for the SPAD XIII.

Raaaaaahhhhhhhh......!!!!! I'm a donkey, I'm a donkey, I'm a donkey, I'm a donkey Pull a cart, pull a cart, pull a cart, pull a cart See the carrot, see the the carrot, see the the carrot, see the the carrot on a stick, on a stick, on a stick, on a stick... Raaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great stuff, Pips and Britisheh!

Did you make sure you were logged in?

Well, if you would travel with 150 mph, and your patrol time would be 1 hour, you could fly a distance of 150 miles. That could be a line patrol with a triangle with 50 miles each side. In a 1 1/2-hour patrol you could actually fly a triangle of 75 x 75 x 75 miles. If you intrude into German terrain, it would rather be a polygon course. I guess a British patrol would have been flying between 1 and 2 hours. That's great that you will try campaign now. Actually, all the flying is the same; but you will now feel much more like being a real life pilot. It would be easier on the German side, as you wouldn't have to cross the line. But with an S.E.5a you can make it. All you need to do is, to forget about victories. Try to get there, and back again. Make only absolutely easy kills. Stay with your fellow pilots. Run away, if you must, without shame. That's about all I can give you for the way.

I visit both to check out, what's new. But for posting pictures, the rules are very strict over there, and the uploading business is also more difficult. I admit, that I feel at home here since long time, and "old horses don't like changing the barn".

A test near Steamboat Springs? What are you testing?

Wikipedia shows some interesting and informative pictures of the days, when West-Berlin was isolated within the Sowiet-controlled GDR (German Democratic Republik), by the surrounding wall. The Soviets had controlled and cut off all land supply routes - it seemed a question of time, when West-Berlin would have to give up. But the Americans did not accept this as an inescapeable fate - in a tremendous effort, they organised the supply of a whole city by air transport: "Unternehmen Luftbrücke" (Operation Air Bridge) was installed. Here is Wikipedia about the facts: The Berlin Blockade (24 June 1948 – 12 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. During the multinational occupation of post–World War II Germany, the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' railway, road and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under Allied control. Their aim was to force the western powers to allow the Soviet zone to start supplying Berlin with food and fuel, thereby giving the Soviets practical control over the entire city. In response, the Western Allies organized the Berlin Airlift to carry supplies to the people in West Berlin. The recently independent United States Air Force and the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force flew over 200,000 flights in one year, providing up to 4700 tons of daily necessities such as fuel and food to the Berliners. Alongside US and British personnel, the airlift involved aircrews from the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, and South African Air Force. By the spring of 1949, the effort was clearly succeeding and, by April, the airlift was delivering more cargo than had previously been transported into the city by rail. The success of the Berlin Airlift brought embarrassment to the Soviets who had refused to believe it could make a difference. The blockade was lifted in May 1949 and resulted in the creation of two separate German states. The Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) split up Berlin. In remembrance of the airlift, three airports in the former western zones of the city served as the primary gateways to Germany for another fifty years. http://en.wikipedia..../Berlin_Airlift There are still many Berliners, who lived, when all this happened. They may have been among the kids on that hill of bomb damage rubble, just outside the airfield. And when you speak with them about the "Luftbrücke", their eyes may get moist, while they tell you, that the pilots often threw chocolate bars - attached to little handkerchief- parachutes - out of their cockpits, when they saw the waiting children. And you can feel, how gratefull they still are. A total of 101 fatalities were recorded as a result of the operation, including 40 Britons and 31 Americans, mostly due to crashes. Seventeen American and eight British aircraft crashed during the operation. They are not forgotten - the Berlin Airlift Monument in Berlin-Tempelhof shows this inscription at it's base: "They gave their lives for the freedom of Berlin in service of the Berlin Airlift 1948/49".

Yes, I wasn't thinking of users who are remote enough from the monitor. Good point! What I should have said is: minimum distance = 50 cm = 20 inch.

Take your rests were the body asks for them, Tranquillo - it will recover step by step. To care for a business is almost a bit much - perhaps you can cut it down a bit for as long as you are a patient? I know, it's easier said then done - I'm self-imployed too.
