Olham

Thank you guys - wish me luck to get through the war alive with Ernst.

Not sure about the others, but the German DFW has a bombsite. Hasse Wind may even still have the modified site with a better crosshair.

Yes, will do! But half a year, before I could fly the fighters? I must shorten the proceedure a bit, but it's a good idea to do that. Manfred also had to fly a Roland C.II, before he came to Jasta 2. Should be quite challenging. It can almost be flown as the Bristol fighter; and when you have managed the landing, you can be really proud of yourself.

Must have been OvS and Pol doing a test flight - very promising!

I'm with Hellshade there. I'll order P4 as soon as it's out, but I don't feel that nibbling inside, that I must get info about it's release date, or at least some info on how it will be. I still have so much to try in P3, that I never did. Like flying the Roland C.II "Walfisch" - takeoff, combat, and landing (with a forward view next to none - it's on the list!).

Polovski: ...but if you fly Brit there's nearly always someone above you anyway. Not only for the Brits, Pol - I hardly ever find myself the highest flyer on German side; there will always be some S.E.5a or SPAD XIII safely above. I don't really understand that complaints about the waypoints. To reach a certain altitude WITH your wingmen near you, you need them. You can cut that bit, by either using "warp", or by leading your flight and press "rejoin"; or a third way: you activate TAC, press "W" repeatedly, until the blue line shows the flight path to the first real waypoint (wait until all craft are airborne; it won't work earlier); then open the inflight map, and press "X" for "warp", but place your fingers over "Control" and "X", and stop warp shortly after. You may now have reached the altitude, without doing all the way by warp. If all this is still not right, cause you want it more realistic - well, then you can only perform all the climbing spirals, as the real pilots also had to do.

So you took it over from Lothar then, Morris? One note so far : the "type in service" in the lower right corner should be "Albatros D V". Thanks for your time doing this!

Widowmaker: I knew you would take a bite there Olham! Anglers - tch!!!

Hellshade: I also just started a Jasta 1 pilot flying a Albatros DII. Not as fast or as agile as an Entente N-16 it seems, but still makes for truly exciting fighting! The Albatros D.II is given a max. speed of 175 km/h over at the aerodrome; the Nieuport Ni 17 is given 170 km/h. Dej, I also like to fly at the north sea, as it reminds me of Ostfriesland, my home. And when I fly British side, RNAS is a good choice; I like the Pup, and especially the Triplane.

Creaghorn: i consider myself a normal pilot among other normal pilots. so i like to fly for normal jastas. Good point - I often do that too; and pick Jasta 21 then, or Jasta 17 with Julius Buckler.

Crapp - I AM A BLOCKHEAD. In the first text designs, I had it in - then I forgot to paste it in. Look there now.

Hasse Wind, I have edited the poll, so one can click more than one option. You may find it possible to delete your vote, and vote again.

Just found this pictorial demonstration of how to paint the Lozenge sheme of a Roland. http://www.ivanberryman.com/roland_dvia_dhm1727.htm

Perth, I know and am flying P3 plus "Hat in the Ring" add-on, and if I had the same knowledge, but not the above products, I would get them, even if I knew P4 might appear next Christmas (which we don't know at all). Why should I wait soooo long? The price is so low now, it's a bargain!

Widow, will you ever get off the "propaganda rail" ? He didn't shoot down "Huns", but other airmen, who also fought for their fatherland. I haven't said anything much in this respect about him, as I haven't said much about von Richthofen in this respect either. All I say, for both of them, is: may they rest in peace.

What about Alice Shreddard - very effective girl, when the claim pile grows.

There are actually two such aircraft cemetaries, I think both in New Mexico. The other one is even larger. But I forgot the name. Check this touching picture - the T-33 in the foreground seems still intact. http://en.wikipedia....ST-89-10583.jpg Or see these "Phantoms" and "Hueys": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tucson05_AMARCHelicoptersFightersMountain.jpg

Inspired by Ernst Udet's silver Albatros D.V "LO" (Jasta 37), I painted mine silver too. My personal marking is the Reichsflagge band around the fuselage.

Here's link for a timetable with all Groups, matches and times. Today England will play against the United States. And I must say "sorry" to my American friends, but I'm with England here for several reasons. 1. England is one of the motherlands of soccer. 2. Americans don't take soccer serious enough 3. It's about time, English football gets a heads up. http://de.fifa.com/w...d=google_onebox A German link though - maybe you want to google it in your areas.

No, Paul is an oldtimer already; he won't live much longer. The Spanish team wanted to buy him, by the way, for 30.000 Euro - some German football fans wanted to frie after his oracle. Here you can see him once again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAQf2ovAEz0

PS: It was wonderful to see the after-match fireworks, Morris, and I was wondering: your side it's winter now; I saw people with scarfs; Loew has caught a flue - what are the temperatures down south these days? Here in Berlin, we have "Hundstage" - dog days of summer: 37° Celsius! I can't even open the windows during the night - the incoming air still feels like luke warm honey.

Well, it must be a hard job to do such a cup final. Had he wistled like the ref in the first German play, it would have become a disaster. I think, as an English ref, he knows that such matches will have some rougher tacklings, and didn't want to pull tickets too easily. Then towards the end he realised, he should have pulled some earlier, and now, after enough warning words, he produced them. I'm sure they showed him some of the nasty scenes in slomo in the break. But had he wistled too much, they would have had a word with him about that then. A job with little gratitude - seems, whatever you do: everyone hates you. I think, he could have done a far worse job today.

I didn't find him "trigger-happy". I mean, the way the Netherlands played, he could (and perhaps should) have dealt out several more yellow, and at least one red card. The kick into the chest was without any example I had ever seen before - you can kill with a kick like that! He rather tried NOT to destroy the match, and so he was perhaps too careful rather. I was really glad, when in the end that team had won, that deserved it. It could have been a nice match, if the ref had told the Dutch, that is was a football match. European football - not American.

Hmmm - then this pilot might be corrupted. If you haven't already achieved much with him, you could leave him alone and start another pilot in the same squadron, same date - to see if he works better?

Well, the top tick box is for 18.000 feet in my OFF Workshop. The medium one for 10.000 feet, and the low one for 3.000 feet. I don't want to make you look stupid, but I myself have sometime gotten things wrong, simply because I only did believe I knew what I had done. On second looks, I found, I shouldn't trust my beliefs.
