However - you will be gently narcotized, and when you wake up, you will love them both!

Sorry, no PM from you yet, Luther. Or do you mean the other forum?

PS: Ah, now I got it - you must simply type it: ISBN 9780753822029

Thank you, Luther - sounds like an interesting read. But both your ISBN-Numbers don't get me anywhere?

If WOFF is a code, I will be dead before it's release day. W = 23 O = 15 F = 6 WOFF = 23 / 15 / 66 No, wait - fifteenth? There ain't no fifteenth! Ah, wrong guess! Completely wrong guess!! What a big luck we sometimes have...!

For RAF_Louvert: just found this fine photo at FLICKR - a landing Bristol Scout. The note said: Suez 1916. Enjoy! Does anyone fly the "Scout" in OFF ?

Thank you guys!

Herr Prop-Wasche, just to make sure: when I want to use the new FM mod of yours, must deactivate the former Allied FM and German FM mods, I guess?

Will test the Alb for sure; and the Pfalz should be next - Hasse Wind says it's much improved.

Hey, your dogs are cute! They don't seem so far away from us - when the reality is getting too grey - pull a blanket over your head! Great!

None of the German storage sites can be called safe so far. They had already stored a huge amount of so called soft and medium radioactive waste in a salt dome since the late sixties. (The idiots called it storage - they dropped the barrels down into salt caves, where they bounced into other barrels. This idioticy alone is proof enough - they cannot and WILL not handle it safe). Now - only just less than 50 years later, they have to admit that water is getting in, slowly but permanently. Together with the salt it gets aggressive enough to slowly decay the barrels. They have to get all of those waste tons out of there again - with incredible costs - and don't know where to try next. Right now they just have to admit, that they don't have a solution. And that's the German right wing party; the Christian Democrats - not the greens. If you could be absolute certain, that your mountain cave in the USA has no connection to any drinking water lines - and that this will remain so for the next 10.000 years - then you could dump the stuff there, I guess. But how could you be sure? Part of this poisonous dirt is very long-time poison - very long time! And I am absolutely certain for myself - man can not handle that. Full stop.

Since I'm flying with Jasta 2, Lagnicourt 1916, in my "serious Campaign, I was searching for an aerial view of the airfield. And I found one in FLICKR. Then I made some screenshots from Google Streetview to show, how it all looks today. Again here is a place, that hasn't changed much through the last 96 years. The aerial photo was taken on 21 October 1916. That was only 1 week, before the famous "father of all Jastas" Oswald Boelcke crashed and died after a collision with Erwin Böhme. Boelcke was the mentor of many German aces such as Manfred von Richthofen. [ Source of the Aerial Photograph: http://www.flickr.co...267777/sizes/o/ ] .

Jim, one mail came through from your end, and I answered it - if you receive the answer, then we should use that address. No idea why it suddenly doesn't work anymore. I get a message, that it couldn't get delivered. How strange is that?

PS: For Roucourt I can at least help with a map excerpt, which shows clearly, where the Jasta airfield and the barracks were (namely where you always said they had been).

Which ones? Böhme? Boelcke?? MvR??? My reward: those photos of Boelcke via PM - plleeeeeze! Gulo! Glutton!! Wolverine!!!

PS: Strangely the disadvantages of this reactor type are shown in just a few short lines in English, and uncomplete. The German Wikipedia site says, that the amount of medium- and soft radioactive waste is even higher than from the reactors we use today. My personal opinion about the use of nuclear energy is simple: We are not capable of controling such reactors. We do NOT even have ANY WORKING concepts yet, what to do with the long-term radioactive waste, so there is only one intelligent decision: all nuclear powerplants must be switched off. Anything else is slow suicide. The dangerous poison WILL sooner or later contaminate our drinking water.

May be one step into a better direction. It's a shame that we still cannot use the energy of the sun far better. Here is more detail about the Molten Salt Reactor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor

The great model kit producers "Wingnut Wings" do not only make the probably best WW1 plastic model kits; they also show lots of historical photographies (from collections such as Greg vanWyngarden's). http://www.wingnutwi...ry?categoryid=1 Now they have added another bunch of great pics, showing German engine workshops. The second photo is for Hasse Wind - cameras for aerial reconnaisance - close on. Enjoy! .

Aaaaahhhh - now even my German military blockhead got it. Hey, that's good news! I'll download is this evening and exchange it. I think to remember that you had added instructions how to install and use it?

Hasse Wind, please report about your experiences. I use your older FM and DM still, HPW, and I will change to the new ones, when it is okay. I used to have more time for testing 1 1/2 years ago, but now I have far less flying time, and so I can't make any testing myself.

Just found this book title, when I was searching for aerial recon cameras. Helmut Jäger: "Erkundung mit der Kamera - Die Entwicklung der Photographie zur Waffe und ihr Einsatz im 1. Weltkrieg" (Reconaissance with the Camera - the development of photography as a weapon, and it's use in World War One) http://www.amazon.de...38830098&sr=1-1 .

Mike, I'm not a specialist on DirectX stuff, but there was a problem with Windows and DirectX some time ago, which seemed to result from the fact, that they had not added all DirectX updates contents. Perhaps someone with real knowledge can help here. In my case, I downloaded and installed the stuff new, but I was guided, and cannot pass the knowledge on; it is just beyond my capabilities. I can only say, that my problem was gone after that. - You have a screen ratio of 16:10, which you should select at the left in "Workshops". - The OFF default is rather for 4:3 ratio screens. I give you 3 possible "Field of View" settings here. They all have the right ration of height to width, and they only differ in being more zoomed in or more remote to everything - your choice, which you like better. Best to try them all. 24 : 15 26 : 16 27 : 17

Wow, congrats to this outcome, jwrich!
