I honestly don't remember, which improvements came with what, redpiano - best check the website: www.overflandersfields.com

I count at least six people saying it's definitely worth getting it, but as a graphic designer I do often see this: some people are advice-proof.

Hmmmm, perhaps your OFF is a cheap Hong Kong fake, rjw? When I go through Jasta 11, I see him from 15 February on. With full name and rank: Rittmeister Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen. Perhaps you want to have another look? .

Damn, Pol - thanks for editing it yourself. I need some holidays - don't know from what, but I needed some! .

Well, he wasn't the "Red Baron" already in Jasta 2 - he painted his Albatros red only later, in Jasta 11. Manfred von Richthofen became the leader of Jasta 11 after his time with Jasta 2. Maybe he did not take the new Jasta over immediately, but he had his first victory with Jasta 11 on 23 January 1917.

Yes, I have read somewhere, that they assume, that the huge amounts of gun powder, smoke and cordite etc. might have caused much more rain - do you know if that's true, Shredder?

Ooops! Sorry! Corrected: "Hat in the Ring!" AddOn = 9,99 $

For all, who want to travel through Flanders, I have translated this diagram for the average weather around Antwerp.. You see that the least rain is from June September with average 10 days a month. My own experience from the 80s was less rain, but perhaps that has changed now?

Exactly, HPW - I love to go out for dinner - but it doesn't last very long (except on the hips maybe!). HitR is available for 19,90 $ now.

Well, I found the saying: "He is built like a brick outhouse". And I know what "outhouse" means.

Simon, if ever a business fitted well - congrats, my friend, it looks like you have found the right thing to do! And if you should ever feel like expanding, you could open another shop called "The Angler" As a self-employed man, I give you some very serious advice (painfully learnt!) : keep all eyes on the books; don't spend income like winnings - the taxmen often react late to a new business, but then they want all money backwards for the last years. Collect all bills for any spendings which COULD have been business- spendings - even for stamps and pencils. I wish you all the good luck you may need in these tight days, Simon - all the best! .

Thanks, JFM! I guess that is the acre which was the airfield at Lagnicourt?

The new Campaign, the new landscape, the new Campaign Manager, the new AI, the new skins - where should I start?

Thank you, Shredward. Will remember that.

??? ??? Please explain - I don't know this one!

"Murmur, murmur... Two weeks! ... In two weeks! ... You will release in two weeks! ... You will release the new sim in two weeks! ... Murmur, murmur..." ....................................................................................................................

As a researching historian you did the right thing residing in some of the Chateaus (Roucourt is one such place, where you can dine, or even stay overnight, as far as I know) - surely a must for the chief historian of OFF. The local food is often excellent surely - the French have so many specialities I never knew before. But I must find out before, which time of year they have the most dry weather there.

Carrick and all - if you save the skins, you should keep the name like it was written for OFF, with only the addition of your pilot name - like this example: Name of the default skin in OFF: off_Alb_DIII_early_t_Jasta 15 1917.dds My own name for the personal skin: off_Alb_DIII_early_t_Jasta 15 1917 Olham.dds If you have finished a skin, you must save it as a BMP (24 bit). I recommend to reduce the work to one layer before. (Save the work with the layers first, so you keep them for changes; then reduce to one layer and save it to desktop as a BMP 24bit.) This BMP-file must now be converted to a DXT1 file. Select the correct filetype: DDS DXT1 (NoAlpha) See my example here, screenshots from DXTBmp:

Many of these Chateaus seem to be from the same era, Duke, and so they have quite similar styles. Here is the Chateau Roucourt: ...and this is the Chateau de Bethune, Marckebeeke: The "flyboys" knew how to live and die with great style, it seems. .

Yes, it is indeed. I MUST do that bicycle trip, before I get too old for camping.

Great shot indeed, Shredward. Looks like a treated photo - what did you do to make it look so special?

Yes, with "Hat in the Ring!" you would realise a big step forward, redpiano.

Thank you, guys!

Thank you guys, and cheers! No wonder I can use Photoshop quite well - it's my job. Please have a look at the skinning site, guys - there are other skinners, who wrote helpfull stuff down there; skinners like Gous, RAF_Louvert, Widowmaker, Bullethead, BurningBeard and others more.

Thanks, Shredder! Thank you, Duke - the Jastas (maybe the RFC officers too) often resided in the local Chateaus (the French seem to have hundreds of them - no wonder they found it too much one day and made a revolution ). Jasta 11 did not fly from Cappy before 12 April 1918; the Chateau you mean could have been either at Roucourt, or that near Marcke.
