  1. OT--Upload failed...

    Shiloh, I usually copy the address line from the top frame, and paste it into the post. Sometimes I get a YouTube video with the clickable arrow; but sometimes I only get the written (and clickable) address line. Why that is different, I don't know yet.
  2. OT--Upload failed...

    Hauksbee, click on your name bar in the top right forum corner, then on "My settings", and there at the left on "Manage attachments". You'll be able to go through the pages with the attachments, and delete per choice.
  3. Engine damage questions

    No, HPW, don't work on that. Today I had that noise, and it made return back over the lines, just in case. Then the engine lasted fine all the rest of the flight. So yes, it makes that noise after each and any hit, but I can live with that now.
  4. Immersion

    Good AI programming must be one of the hardest bits in flight sims. Winder recently announced, that OFF AI will be much improved. Or did I dream that?
  5. "Die roll on death" is absolutely okay and no cheating, Hasse Wind, as it decides about exactly that: wether an accident is fatal or if you will just stand up with minor bruises. By the way: I never have any landing accidents in Albatros fighters. Only exception: recently I made a landing approach in a strong sidewind - almost "side-storm". In that landing I had almost crashed into the parking planes.
  6. On Monday, French-German TV channel ARTE will present both Fritz Lang's 1924 films "Nibelungen" and "Krimhilds Rache". Unfortunately at the same time on ARD: the also extremely good "Das weisse Band". It's terrible - weeks of repetitions, and then all the good stuff on one day! Argghhh!!!
  7. Engine damage questions

    - I do NOT have too many leaking tanks (flying Albatros D.II, D.V and D.Va mostly). - I DO feel I have too many engine damages in above planes.
  8. Oh dear! Poor Boris! Well, he actually had a great face for stuff like that.
  9. Immersion

    Hellshade, you are right in both "positive lists" about both sims. And I'm happy I mustn't decide anything - I have them both.
  10. Didn't know that old sketch, Widow - must be from the mid-70s? R.A. seems perfect for playing real a**holes. Creaghorn, I believe to remember, that I posted a picture of Boris Karloff in the mask back then.
  11. Nope, Sir! I have a British REGA PLANAR III High End record player! Yes, sir!
  12. Same for James Whale, who made "Frankenstein". The horrible mask was a face he had seen in the war. An officer or soldier got caught in the barbed wire a bit into no man's land, when he tried to get back to their trench. He was shot dead by the Germans. But nobody dared to climb out of the trench to recover the corpse, and the guy was hanging in the wire, and he seemed to stare at them. Day after day, night after night. Whale said, the face became pale and then it began to decay. All that, even amplified by the light of flares, was engraved into his mind and gave him nightmares. He described that face to the makeup artist, who created one of the most famous film masks after that. Deja vu - could it be, that we had almost the same discussion two years ago? From Murnau to Whale?
  13. No idea about both names being also typical Jewish ones? I couldn't say. What I heard about names, was that the Jews once had to buy them family names in Germany. Those names had to be paid per letter. (No idea, when that was). So, rich Jews chose long names which sounded good and wealthy, like Garfunkel or Goldstein; while the poor chose short names like Süss or Blau.
  14. Maybe I expressed it wrong - my English isn't perfect. I meant, that Goering said these famous words no earlier than in WW2. And maybe Herr Meyer as well. Müller and Meyer are the two most common names in Germany.
  15. Head bob please

    Well, I don't know if you have a granny left to sell? (That's a German saying: I'd sell my grandma to get that device). But then I guess, yeah, I got it. Even if you sold your grandma, there would still be many other things more necessary to buy first?
  16. Well, I have a video recorder. Old fashioned, but works.
  17. Head bob please

    The appearance of running - in a WW1 aircraft? Wodin you rascal, you were kidding us? Here is a TrackIR 4 Pro for 124,- $ or 92,41 Euro - works well with TrackIR 5 software: http://www.ebay.de/itm/TrackIR-4-Pro-TrackClip-Pro-Optical-Track-System-NEW-/360369786985?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e7b69069
  18. Head bob please

    Wodin, there is - beside the static view angles - also a glide view possible.
  19. Mmuahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!
  20. What? Lou bombed Berlin??? Before Herr Goering could even offer to be called Herr Müller, if that ever happened? I knew you would say that, Widowmaker! Good success!
  21. Yes, Bob Pearson is another "maker of colour profiles", and he again has used a lot of the info Dan San-Abbott had collected and painted for sale. Our forum's own JFM also did and still does great profiles for his books, by the way.
  22. Head bob please

    Head bob? What is "head bob"? I know TrackIR is expensive. I bought it, when I was out of work for some time, and I sold some things per Ebay to get the money together. And I swear you - it was the best next buy after OFF. Put me in the cockpit. Never regreted it, not for for a second.
  23. OT/ Strange things happen...

    I bet you WERE damn surprised! Mmuahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!! Don't feed them, or they'll come again whenever they can.
  24. Sounds of WW1 - 3 Rotary Engine Aircraft HAFU Video present another YouTube vid, in which we can hear wonderfully well, how the Camel and other aircraft sound, when the blipswitch is getting used.
