  1. The need for speed...

    Here's a pic from "Rosebud's Aviation Site": http://www.earlyaeroplanes.com/archive1.htm
  2. The need for speed...

    Only this one craft was ever built. It flew in early 1914. See "Wings Palette" for more: http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww1/f/1841/174/0
  3. Autopilot? We have autopilot???
  4. Yes, it does. But that's no problem - you could just ignore it and hit "warp" again, until you get to the last waypoint.
  5. Well, if you know your area, you might be able to do it still. I have painted lakes and other typical landmarks into my map, and so if I warped, I would still see after some time, where I am right now - and continue from there by paper map. If I come out of warp near Ypres for example, I will know it's Ypres down there, and find my orientation rather quick. Also, you don't need to follow waypoints, when flying after map. I often follow rivers or railroads. If you then want to warp again, you can do that, and the warp will of course get you to the assigned waypoints again. Good for take off and circling the field, and for the home-flying. Inbetween, paper map is nice.
  6. Does P4 get it's own name?

    OFF: Death's Flying School (Mmuahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!)
  7. That should be a rather easy improvement for P4 to make - I hope Winder will read this. Because that would add another "thrill-dimension" to it; especially for the early war. Great! You're making even more of OFF for you! Do you ever fly after paper maps?

    Hey, Matt's "Death and Glory" sounds short and spot on.
  9. Hey, Ras, old chap! There sure are more "than a few" to remember you here. But there would be many even more, if you would write a bit more often, eyh? Not flying doesn't automatically mean "no posting" I guess? For me it is so, that even after 3 weeks of total holiday (no computer with me) I have to learn the "flying feeling" again. No need to be ashamed, I'd say. Just pick an easy to fly crate and take some stick time. And as for sex - it's anyway often pretty overrated. I mean, after all, some sorties can last sooo much longer...
  10. Lou, I bet you nailed it! Hey, if that's correct, Wodin: enjoy that new experience. It will take time to get used to it, but you'll never want to loose it again then. And Hauksbee - I hope you got yourself the newest TrackIR 5 Pro then?
  11. Does P4 get it's own name?

    Creaghorn, by all means - get yourself something to eat or drink, or kiss your lady. It is getting too much!
  12. Engine damage questions

    Well, I know the new P4 sounds are in good hands. So I can wait - I'm used to my "cement mixer" by now.
  13. Does P4 get it's own name?

    Too - ah - too philosophical!
  14. Although I must say this for the good old DFW - she keeps your nose warm in winter!
  15. If zooming out makes it worse, zoom in one or two notches. I am not the Nieuport man, but from what I saw, it WAS a very narrow craft, and it's pilots WERE crammed in. Lots of space and a perfect vision on the other hand in the Albatros! (Did I ever mention anywhere, that I love the Albatros?)
  16. Does P4 get it's own name?

    OVER FLANDERS FIELDS - Fire in the Sky OVER FLANDERS FIELDS - Skies on Fire
  17. Does P4 get it's own name?

    "Over Flanders Fields - Pour le Merite" would nicely combine - a British poem with - a French name for - a German medal
  18. Does P4 get it's own name?

    Short? "OFF - The Blue Max" or "OFF - Pour le Merite"
  19. Doesn't this FE2b look dangerous, a Lady in Black, with a lethal bomb - a perfect craft for Bullet, I thought. Ronny Bar's colour profiles are top notch, and if you haven't seen his website yet - go there to find more. Like Roderick Dallas' S.E.5a with an interesting camo pattern. http://www.ronnybarprofiles.com/profiles/
  20. Aaahh - now that might explain why some guys in two-seaters sometimes look like Borg? Good find, Creaghorn. I wonder, if I can do the "Next waypoint" command, although I never fly with TAC anymore? Never tried that.
  21. Does P4 get it's own name?

    I'm with JFM there - hardly anyone said "Between Heaven and Hell" - it's "Over Flanders Fields" or "OFF". So why not call it O.F.F. IV or more modern OFF v4.0 You could of course call it "OFF - 42" - the answer to everything. (or "Beyond the Poppies" ?)
  22. That works on some Nieuport (don't know which), not on all. Duke, you cannot just remove the "monitor" from the dds file only. That file is only the graphic texture laid over the aircraft modell. But the windshield would still appear as a modelled part. Try all Nupes with Creaghorn's advice - should work on some. There were several complaints about this, and I hope Pol and Winder read this; I guess/hope they will make them all downfoldable for P4.
  23. Damn - and I had thought it was a typical example of British understatement.
