Can you write a seller rating about her perhaps, as I always do in AMAZON? If you are asked to write a short line, you just write something like: "This lady keeps selling the same item again and again, without even owning it".

Update 17 December; 2010; 15:10 h Berlin time (= GMT + 1) Kaa, France added. All the maps are in post 1 of this thread

During the last months, I have started Campaigns with Roland C.II, Fokker E.III, and the Halberstadt. Especially the Halberstadt proves to be a very capable opponent of Nieuport 11 and 16, or the Airco DH-2. It is, similarly as the Albatros, an energy fighter, that can also turn quite well - in a left turn, a Nieuport 16 has no chance to get behind me. Just avoid right turns - those rotaries are better there! The single gun is no disadvantage, as the enemy craft also only have one. But the robustness of the Halberstadt definitely IS an advantage. It can carry on with hits, that would cripple a Nieuport, and steep dives don't seem to irritate her much. I would like to recommend this fighter to all of you, who never tried it yet, who want something new, or who want to fly earlier in the war than 1917 or 1918. Jasta 1 has the Halberstadt since August 1916. If you want appetizers, check the "Screenshots" and the "Reports from the Front" threads.

Wood, the most scouts of those days tended to either lower or raise their noses. UncleAl is only partly right here: most craft could not get trimmed in flight, but pilots and mechanics did trim the aircraft on the ground.

...and what happened?

This was almost certainly a replica, Lou. The Original has a slightly brighter blue enamel, which is coming up, like a cake so to say. Here is one such pic.

Doh!!!!

Of course you know your area, Shredward - there are not too many houses in Lake Lousie. TaillyHo, you surprised me! You are from Hobart, Tasmania, and you have really been there?

The second video is unavailable in Germany. The first one is a wunderful stunt - one of Clouseau's best attacks!

I know, I know - P4 may be far from being ready. But couldn't you devs perhaps think of releasing - say - 5 screenshots every month? They must not always show something new; only what you have got done, from different angles? (I know I still have to grow up, but that makes me the right sort of customer, eyh?)

Sounds unbelieveable - to repair an aircraft engine under attack, whilst being defended by a single wounded pilot with only a revolver???

Huh, gottcha, couch potatoe! Slarti, I was driving down "Briggate" from Leeds center, and after crossing "The Calls" north of the river Aire, I was on "Bridge End" bridge, looking south over the river. There seem to be many former store houses, which got renovated to be used as flats? (Very expensive, surely)

Indeed, Lou - the planet seems smaller in the age of internet and jet planes, but still... Town No. 13 is Leeds, hometown of Slartibartfast (who is in Vienna right now). Town No. 14 is Dahlonega, Georgia - hometown of CaptSopwith (who missed this by an inch) Here comes the next one. Town No. 15 is Lake Louise, Alberta - home area of Shredward.

The person who lives there, should recognise it - but there is little activity here recently, and often they don't seem to look into the forum for days. So short before Xmas, they all seem to be on the chase for presents.

Well, you would also have to wear a leather helmet and googles and a silk scarf; You'd have to operate your keyboard, mouse and joystick with thick gloves on; to make a room temperature of 40° Fahrenheit or lower; to ask your wife or a friend to occasionally pour cold water over you from a watering can - and to give the kids some fun, you could ask them to throw some Chinese fireworks at you every now and then. And after all this, you would still be able to stop all this any time, or to go to a good hospital, if the kids really hit you. If you should do all this for full immersion: we want photos!!!

UncleAl, UncleAl - you sometimes are the Roger Corman of the forum. Or maybe the George Romero. Your little shop of horrors, eyh?

Guys - it won't do anything with your necks. There may be an initial dizzyness, and it may take longer for some to get used to it. I get dizzy rather easily, and it took me about two months, until I could really handle my fighter, whilst I was looking elsewhere via TrackIR. The fixed angles of snap view I had used before when I was fighting, gave me kind of hold - now it was suddenly all free and I could look in all directions - wasn't easy first. But I would never go back - TrackIR really makes me feel to be the pilot of the craft, to be above the landscape - it makes it feel real.

Congratulations, tranquillo! Now you have the chance to see the world through the eyes of a child once again. I sometimes hate, that I gave up alcohol - please have one for me, too, ja?

Lou - I hope you have a very safe & secret password for this Forum...

A pity that they didn't allow this or similar skins for combat duties - it looks marvellous! The End of a young Aviator My Jasta 1 pilot (April 1918, Argonne) has just shot down a single flying Nieuport N24. Instead of trying to run, the French flyboy turned to fight - despite a load of Le Prieur rockets. I ordered my flight to remain passive, and took him on. Three minutes later, his beautiful craft went down in flames. The moment touched me somehow - here the victor, cheering about the almost certain confirmation, with 5 witnesses for his kill; there the young flyboy, having left to himself only one last and so very terrible decision: wether to jump or to burn to death. Before anyone asks: I have manipulated the picture. It was a work of only a few pixels, to give you the impression, as if the young aviator in his despair tries to climb up the rear fuselage, to save himself some more seconds of his lifetime - not more...

Sooooo true!

Write to them, and Winder or Polovski will answer you. Another idea, if you suspect the change on the computer to be the reason, would be to write a PM to Parky and/or von Paulus - they know a lot about computers.

Javito: ...she's getting me a TrackIR 5 for Christmas so I stop getting blown away by the "hun in the sun". Bordeauxred Baron: "Huhuhu!!! Ziss Herr from Wisconsin ssinks, zatt hee vill see us comink out of der Sun viss his TrackIR!" Other Staffel pilots: "Hahaha - very good one, Herr Rittmeister!" Bordeauxred Baron: "Mmuahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!"
