For going one step back with Lasso tool in Photoshop, I have to press the "back" key. Perhaps it works there too? If you want a part in a bright colour, you could copy the area and insert it into a new file. Then you turn it into "greyscale" and work on it's brightness and contrast. After that, you make it an RGB file again, and now you can work out it's colour. Later you copy it back into the other, position it correct, and cut it free.

Hey, then all the messin' payd in the end! Congrats!

No idea - I have an ATI card. But next time you're bored, you better fly a mission instead.

Well, that speaks even more for flying her. Should keep the kill tally more realistic, I guess.

Ah, good to see you actually did your first steps on the way to become a bulletproof skinner, Duke - great to see! It takes some time to find out tricks how to get there more easily, but it is easy time compared to modelling. I don't know Paint.net - can you work with layers there? Cause working with layers makes it much easier, as you can always keep the basic ones, you can duplicate layers and cut or work on the duplicate, without loosing the other. If you cannot do that, it will always be a good idea to save many steps as numbers 3, 4,5 ... 12, 13 etc. Later, when you're sure you got what you wanted, you can delete all others and save it under the final name.

After all this time we only find them now.... OFF is still coming up with something new every week.

That's cool indeed, Mack! I have never seen that before! Must fly the Nupe again.

Hey, that is a very nice shot, Mack! Good to see you back in action!

Enjoy! http://youtu.be/RLXsNHVEdZk http://youtu.be/7zpxOJncVmw

I have to come back to the last posted screenshot. If that is an airfield - and it looks like it is one ! - then we may be in for quite a surprise? Maybe Winder has decided to use a different way of creating the fields? A more open way, which isn't so hardware-hungry like the "runway decals" before? And one that allows to create historical airfields without using too many resources? Could that be? Is this a dream? Or a clue? To something new? PS: of course, it maybe only my brain running hot phantasizing about P4! Had the same, when I was about twelve, and had got all the adventures of Tim & Struppi (Tintin et Milou; Tintin and Snowy - does anyone know them not?) I began dreaming new ones in my sleep. Really new; and drawn like from Hergé! They'd be a coupla thousand pounds worth now! Maybe millions?

Now you know, why a man like Udet "only" had 60 victories in a relatively long service time. Sounds a lot like the reports of the later aces about their first kills. You'll get there - but not overnight!

From "New pilot asking for help!" to Aztecs and the Ottoman Empire in 25 posts.

Must be the French champaign then - I never had problems with the other fuels. But what can you expect, when a drink is called "dry"? Tch!

Bletchley's mods are great! I have just made an escort for 3 Roland C.II with my early Jasta 2 Pilot, in September 1916. Not sure if it was the mod, but the Rolands joined in to a scrap with FE2b, and even helped us chasing the last Fee all the way from the lines to S. Quentin. A mission with famous company - Böhme, Ritter von Müller, Reimann and von Richthofen were all there with us. Despite the nasty weather, we felt invincible. OFF can create these special moments!

Welcome to our mess, Trackpad! Since there are not many here flying my favourite fighter, the Albatros, I welcome you even more! It's a fighter with a most perfect field of view, and very easy to fly I find. Great to hear that your install and first missions went flawless. If you send me a message with your town and country, I will add you to our OFF Forum Pilots maps (see in the Sticky Threads above). Oh, and I'll have a virtual Warsteiner! Cheers!

No way in a German military aircraft - it was definitely secured.

In this website, you find a fine French flare gun, a German and an American one. Click on "Leucht- und Signalpistolen" on the left. http://www.leuchtpis...ebr_Rempt_1915/

Hahaha - hupss! - I recognize myself - the third from the right, that's me! It was a great night! Very fine piano playing even, until Widowmaker tried to stepdance on it and broke in. Thank you all, gents - for the Lieutenant's cap, TaillyHo - now I'll keep it as a souvenir! - for redeeming me from the arrest cell, Lou! - for helping me back into my German uniform, Wayfarer and Duke (I know it was tough)! - for carrying me back to our lines, Creaghorn! Man, I am so glad I don't have to - hupps! - don't have to fly today - when the - hupps! - Hauptmann saw me this morn, he strictly banned me from service. I will get up, when this damn room stops turning.

It may well be, that the magneto handle was hung overboard by MvR deliberately and always after landing, as to show his Werkmeister and mechanics, that the handle had been taken off and that there was no danger of accidental ignition.

Yes, that is right. The Pup seemed to be very good at high altitude. While the Pup only weighed 556 kg at takeoff, the Albatros weighed 886 kg. So the lift to weight ratio was better for the light Pup. Someone here (Pol?) said some time ago: "While Sopwith built wonderful flying machines, the Germans built great war machines."

I know that path - came from IL2, but then I remembered "Flying Corps Gold" and google for WW1 air combat sims. So I came to OFF and it's forum, where gentlemen as the above RAF_Louvert taught me more about that time period with patience; gentleman Typhoon sent me the Phase2 DVD for free (all the way from Canada! - Thanks again, Tony!) and gentlemen like UncleAl and Cameljockey taught me first OFF steps. (Forgive me the "gentleman", UncleAl, I know you're trying hard not to appear like one. ) You will grow with the Forum and your interest, Adger. Oh, and "Sagittarius rising" is next on my list.

It would surely help to see the thing?

Jasta 2, Proville, 26. Juni 1917 Leutnant Harms After lunch, we had to patrol over Phalempin, where we ran into two flights of Sopwith Pup from No. 46 RFC. Like usual, they spread out and were all over the sky, but our Albatros are faster, and our wolfpack tactics are showing effect. Two of them went down today, the rest got quite beaten up. Kemper and Dirks, our greenhorns, received some minor damage. Now they are battle-baptised, and after the first shock, they feel like veterans now already. Well, time will tell...

If the service ceiling for the Albatros D.III was 5500 Meter, that would be 18.044 ft. And in the time of the D.III they may still have flown lone wolf missions.
