He left the name on?!? Damn! I hadn't checked that! Seems like it's your turn again, Corsaire! WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER PILOTS WHO LIKE QUIZ SHOWS?!?

Cripes - I need a "photo-backwards-search"... I bet Lou would at least know what uniform that is...

Congrats, Adger! You guys are getting this to a level, that I'm afraid I may not have another adequate question, when it's my turn again...

Sounds good to me, Adger - good luck! But remember: when you win, you will have to put the next question! Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

Jeeze - seaplanes... I hope someone with better knowledge will come in on this...

Okay, thank you, gavagai. Next weekend I may be able to test both the D.V and D.Va mods. Until then I will fly both aircraft as vanilla FMs, to get a feel for the default ones. I never flew the D.Va much even in OFF - never lived that long.

Yes, you had to, indeed! Well, think about it - maybe you'll find a special little question about WW1 aviation.

Hey, great to hear you will fly a campaign now, Hauksbee! Don't let any misfortunes demoralise you - you may lose some pilots, but then others may do longer ( the more careful, the longer, maybe...)

Did anyone cast an eye on the AI behaviour, when using an FM mod? Did they still behave well, and could they still achieve anything?

Still today, these problems are regarded under very different aspects. I just read in WIKIPEDIA about the Treaty of Versailles, and I realised, that the English text - especially about the hardship and the consequences of the treaty's conditions - is pretty much different from the German WIKIPEDIA text. Seems that it is such a complex matter, that it can be regarded from quite different angles, with differing conclusions. Which seems to be a major problem in politics generally: politicians often do not have enough phantasy or imagination to forsee ALL consequences of their decisions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_the_Weimar_Republic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_ultimatum

Well, the Freemasons didn't make a total secret of it all - some of them were wearing rings or other signs in public with the freemason symbols on them. You even find their symbols on American dollar notes. And at WIKIPEDIA you can read about them.

Must remember to donate to WIKIPEDIA again - it's getting better and better. Here is the link to a list of German military abbreviations. One wouldn't find "OffzStv" * as one term, but you find "Offz" and "Stv". http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_milit%C3%A4rischer_Abk%C3%BCrzungen * Offiziers-Stellvertreter (deputy officer)

Great, Corsaire - now it's your turn to come up with a quiz-question!

Buhl is Alsace-Lorraine indeed, or Elsass-Lothringen, as it is named in German. A beautiful area, which often "changed hands" between France and Germany.

The Command KeyChart is - and always was - here: http://combatace.com/topic/39122-command-key-card-for-off/?do=findComment&comment=268281

What is a "slip turn", guys?

Deadhead, you may want to read the threads about the FMs at SimHQ. To say it very short: forget the OFF FMs - they were childsplay. I am beginning to get familiar with the new, the much more realistic Albatros FM, and I like it more and more (after they patched it). And not only the Germans - all FMs have been made much more realistic. So if you think it's flying like a logc - the enemy may feel the same.

Great skins, aren't they? Jasta 70 - should be in the Marne or Verdun region?

Gee, I think I might be close! But let us see, if any French fellers will take part here? If nobody comes until midnight, I will reveal my guess.

Good to hear, Buck! I LIKE this place!

All mods should be written for the MODS folder right in the WOFF folder - not anywhere "deeper". I have changed the ini for the shaders, which were also written for a "deeper" directory path. I eliminated that one line which addressed the mod, and now it works fine where it should be. Maybe you guys could just do the same?

I find it quite strange to celebrate the beginning, the outbreak of a world war. I don't know if anything is planned for Germany for the END of the war - but that's what I would celebrate. War memorial celebrations, I guess, are always the victors' celebrations. They have - IMHO - something to do with the pride about the victory. They may give those, who lost a loved person, at least a bit of a feeling, that he or she didn't die for nothing. For the defeated, there is no such consolation. Germany has a day every year since 1952 - the Volkstrauertag (people's day of mourning), on which we remember the fallen, the waste. It is a quiet memorial. Families which lost their members would go to the cemetaries, and maybe to church. But you would see less and less widows on the cemetaries every year - even those of the fallen of Word War Two will soon have all died. In October 2010, 92 years after the defeat, Germany payed it's final instalment - the last payment of monitary reparations. Not sure if many countries payed so long and so much for their war deeds, but Germany did. And though it cannot bring back all the fallen young men - what a waste, imagine, what they might have achieved with their young lives! - it did at least make the rebuilding of towns and traffic roads and rails possible; the recultivation of the shell-ploughed pockmarked land; it allowed the rebuilding of schools and hospitals, churches and historical buildings. That is something. If I would have to vote for a memorial day - it would be the day when the war was officially ended. That should be a very good reason for a celebration - for either side.

Well, here's an honest man! elephant, I have such placebos sometimes, when I want to shade parts of my skins very subtly in Photoshop. I often brush over that part several times, thinking I'm getting there - just a bit slowly - until I realise: the layer is not activated. Mwahahahaaa!!! (OT: 'Placebo' had some nice songs - like 'Slave to the Wage'...)

Hey, I am excused - after all, we have nighthours here, when you have dinner time! Seems it's your turn now, Lou!

Too much honour - I have never flown a real Albatros D model, so all I know is how they were/are in OFF or in RoF. (I wished I knew more...) I had written a post in the Albatros D.V thread on SimHQ today, where I said I was quite pleased with the D.V we now have (after that correcting patch). Gavagai, I'm not sure if you interprete Gene deMarco right (I guess you quoted him), who said that the Albatros D.Va was "quite sensitive on the elevator". It must not mean, that you had to constantly control the stick IMHO - it could just mean, that when you pulled or pushed the stick, the reaction was immediate and strong. At least of the D.V I read it had a more balanced flight, even if you let the stick go. When MvR had his head-shot he was unconscious for a while. His Albatros D.V performed a kind of wave without control. It went downwards, until it had gained so much speed/lift, that it went up again. Of course that doesn't automatically mean, the D.Va was the same.
