You can use the + key at the right, in the numbers part of your keyboard. After a while, you'll find it blind, and don't have to look. The FOV is set up in "workshop". You just take your screen's best resolution, and then find the right relationship between horizontal and vertical value. The smaller the numbers, the closer you zoom. I use 25 : 20, but I could also use 24 : 19, or 23 : 18. But that's for my 4:3 screen. You must do your math for yours. Or send me your values here.

Gous, try the Airco DH-2, spring 1916. I like it somehow - much better than anything else of that time.

Yeah, she looks like she's seen a few battles - very good, Widowmaker!

Gous, I have been flying mostly in 1917, and never got one. But then I have recently started a British campaign with RFC-24 in 1916, and there, the second mission was a 'lone wolf'. Try 1916 - maybe they didn't do them later no more.

Good ones, Duce and mighty!

Good answer, Bullethead. Ras, not sure if you know this: you need to set your FOV (field of view) right for your desktop, so nothing is getting distorted. My monitor's max. resolution so far is 1280 x 1024, which is a field of view relationship of 25 : 20. But you can say, I want it a bit closer/zoomed in. The enemy aircraft will appear slightly larger then. If you don't want to change your FOV in workshop, you can still press the + key in the sim, and will get zoomed in one notch. If you press it again, all comes closer another notch, and so on. That will, of course, loose FOV at the sides, top and bottom, but therefor, all will also appear closer/larger. Just try it out. I think, the real fighter pilots had that problem too, especially in nasty wheather, that they lost their opponent's sight for seconds or even longer. A descending craft in dark green or brown might even escape you, cause you fail to trace it again.

Ze vite in my eyez?!? You vant to see ze vite in my eyez??!!?? Zenn - look behind youuu!!! Mmuahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!

Well, it would bo one of the stories, Peter Jackson could do. Because it is a story about the war in the air, that works; because it has substance other than the typical "nurse shows heroe the other side - and love" stuff. Let's hope, he'll do it - or find a story even better!

Well, the title says it - I'd like to know, if that movie is worth seeing it. Will I learn more about Rudyard Kipling? (I didn't know, that he had sent his son to WW1).

"Is she standing in a hole?" Yeah, the Great McGonnigle, or the movie director, or the Bank detective ("Let me give you another hearty handshake!") - the man was great. And he did the stunt, where he climbs on a ladder, thinking it was stairs, falling down the other side - he did that himself! Well, drunk and children have a guardian angel.

Would be great, if "Aces High" and "Battle of Britain" could be restored (keeping the acting), and get some great computer generated aircraft scenes added.

It may be finished soon anyway - it only looks, as if he will last.

I think he means the install of the add-on: could that additional install eliminate or corrupt his existing campaign pilot?

Yep - just imagine it being any other Jasta - then it works.

No, you are not lost, cause you have the map. And in there is a little plane flying along the route (or not - depending on you. But you see, if to go further left or right). That's a point where we aren't yet full realistic. But some of us, like RAF_Louvert, are flying after real paper printed maps, which are files made available by Rabu, I believe. Once I get to grips with all the reality I will try even that. And ground attacks are indeed very dangerous against airfields or railyards - I recommend to advance time, to get another mission. Cause I don't think, fighters without bombs did really attack such targets. Ballons, yes, but airfields?

Hahaha!! Der Dsherrmann planez arr made of Ironwood, mein Herr! Ant you Crumpetz viss only der one gun may find itt hard to doo damadge to us! Mmuahahahahaaaa!!!!

I never have, and I would much prefer a DVD version. You can get an English version now, which I've seen here: http://www.amazon.de/Red-Baron-UK-Tomas-Koutnik/dp/B002DMLG2Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1258298141&sr=1-3 The film wasn't bad, but don't expect it to be a historical von Richthofen. If you imagine, it was just about another German Jasta with aces, it is pretty good.

Holy Moly! A strangely touching form of poetry for this bird, Bullethead!

What exactly does "Roll on dice" mean, Fortiesboy? That DiD with Labels, Instruments and TAC switched off, was called "Full DiD rules" by Siggi recently. That's what we are supposed to use in "Krauts vs Crumpets". I find it very hard in a relatively fast fighter like my 1916 Albatros D II, to even spot the enemy, and to find them again, cause you always loose them without helps. I downed a Nieuport, but that was sand coloured. No idea, how one should see a British dark green or dark brown craft against the ground. It is extremely stressful - and I like it!

Thanks all - so I'll rent it soon and see. UncleAl: Sooo it's after WC Fields, and Humphry Bogart. Pretty exclusive company An exclusive company indeed, UncleAl! Bogart in "To have and to have not", one of my all-time-grands. And W.C. Fields: "I cut my way through a wall of human flesh with my bowie knife; my canoe always right behind me!" I just love his films.

Good to know, you're not SUPER cool - I know that "I'll throw the rig out of the window" rage!!!

Thanks for these great skins and photographs, Makai! Mast- und Schotbruch for your sea journey. Come back in one piece.

Couldn't say it any better, Dej. Siggi, is your "Langnasen" in your mail address from the Focke-Wulf 190 D9 ? One of my favourite WW2 fighters. My very first "real feel" in air combat was with Microprose's "Pacific Air War" (or similar name). My rig was linked to my companion's, and we had a dogfight. He was among 4 American "Lightning", and I was flying one of four Japanese "Frank". It was a big difference to know, that a human clever beast was among them, but soon we had found each other, and I chased him about, giving him several good hit, until he darkly smoked. He knew he was as good as lost like this. Now he acted real clever: he pulled throttle and stick full back! I was suddenly without sight - all black smoke around me. Then he pushed down the stick, and there I was, right in front of him! A Frank isn't made to survive a good burst from a Lightning, I learnt. I was dead! He never flew it with me again - I'm pretty sure he wanted to keep it as it was - 1:0

That's the sort that last, Capt.Sopwith! With a Jasta 6 campaign in Novermber 1916, you could as well enter the "Krauts & Crumpets" Full DiD caampaign. You would have to fly the DFW C.V two-seater, until you had 17 hours, or 5 confirmed kills. Then you can change over to Jasta 6. We have lots of fun, mostly on our "secret chainmail link up" - come in there, if you like. You must not fly any specific amount or days. All you got to do is advance time, when you missed one or several days, so you are up to the current date.

Great! The price is absolutely okay - so I don't have to sell my grandma!
