Tamper, all the PCs of all people I know - mine included - are high tower cases, standing on the floor under the workdesk. Why should I have that gigantic monster on the table?

You guys are now at the point, where one can possibly recognise the reasons for the Fokker Dr.1's wing failures.

Make sure you followed the correct install and patching order, as in OFF Website here: http://overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#Installation_and_settings

This article seems to explain what you want to know, Pips: http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aero/axes32.htm

The first one, and that with the ambulance truck are keepers IMHO! The Nieuport is the craft I would pick if I started an American campaign. The craft performs quite well, and the top wing fabric failures were mentioned far more than they ever happened. What was more of a bad point was, that the craft often had engine failures, which can get nasty. But in a sim, I like flying it.

Great - remember me when you got the money, Si!

Si, you only need to go to the "Reports from the Front" Thread, and type into the search frame "Vic Timm"; make sure the tickbox "Search this post" is chosen. Here is the result of my search, it begins in July 2010 - perhaps that's what helps you? http://combatace.com...arch_app=forums (I hope they won't shoot me for helping the enemy!) .

Wow, the landscape alone would be great to look at - the alley ways, the meandering river; the great winter scenery! And then this new damage - canvas ripped to shreds by rounds fired from behind, flat over the pilot's head into the wing! This is top-most realistic looking damage! Superb work done, gents!

Wow, that's what I call great lighting - in any meaning of the word! The first pic looks almost like a painting, Shiloh - great stuff!

Gee, what BIG compliments, Widowmaker and Jarhead! Thank you both!

True, Javito. Personally, I was touched by the very quiet and slow, but also so imaginative way "My Neighbour Totoro" is told. "Princess Mononoke" is a bigger story, and it's great! Here is a well made trailer for "My Neighbour Totoro":

Well, we are flying a WW1 simulation - so we have to make do with some limitations. Still, we are much better off than the flyers back then - we don't burn, when we're shot down in flames.

I see what you mean about not liking anime too much, von Paulus - the figures all look and move similar. Nevertheless, there are some pearls. Thanks for pointing out "Ghost in a Shell" - never saw it before. I like some of the stuff Miyazaki has done, like "My neighbour Totoro" - a rather quiet immersive little film about a child discovering and befriending the forest spirit "Totoro". On the other hand, he made stuff with fighting and shooting for the elder kids in us all, like Porco Rosso. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIxFvnw7nII&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKHadOHOw78&feature=related

Nbryant asked me in the "Screenshots" thread, why I don't make more "Allied" skins. Well, I don't fly Entente very much, simply because they don't offer any Albatros. But I remembered a SPAD XIII skin for Esc.48 which I had made long ago. I had actually thought I had uploaded it back then - but I hadn't. Well, now I have. This is a fabric new (pretty clean) SPAD, with all emblems freshly painted on to. So, this skin may disappoint all fans of heavy weathering. Widowmaker - know what I mean? Nudge, nudge? Or perhaps you make your weathering on top of it? However - this skin was made of an OBD skin (Sandbagger's?), so thank you guys for all the amazing wonderful lots of skins you have created! .

View File SPAD XIII Esc 48 1918 Olham This is a SPAD XIII skin I did long time ago, but forgot to load up here somehow. Now nbryant asked me in the "Screenshots" thread, why I don't make "Allied" skins - well, here is one for you. The very most of the skin is of course the fine detailed work by one of the OBD skinners. Thank you guys for your incredible amount of wonderful skins! I have made the SPAD rather very clean, like an almost new craft, with all emblems painted on freshly. So, this may not be for the fans of weathering really. I have made the colours of the camo a bit more dynamic, and the emblems really juicy - one could say, it's over the top, but hey, it's fun. Enjoy!

Thank you, nbryant ! Well, the Allied craft don't give me so much freedom fro colouring (if trying to remain halfways historically possible). And then I don't fly Entente side much at all, cause they don't have Albatros. Perhaps you would like my American SPAD XIII - it's with stars & stripes all over. See here: http://combatace.com/files/file/9772-american-spad-xiii/

Will that be a game, or a film?

I don't know the answer, Pips, but I found at least one picture of the prototype. I guess other craft with the same good qualities were easier or cheaper to produce. The sesquiplane wing on the Albatros is much criticised, but I must say, that from my sim experience with flying without Labels and TAC, the overall view is a decisive factor, and the excellent view you have in the Albatros is a great advantage. If dreaming is allowed: I wished there was a sesquiplane lower wing with two spars, stable enough for steeper dives - and the D.V would be a very dangerous opponent. Still was in the hands of good pilots, as the history of the "Golden Triumvirat" in Jasta 5 shows.

After another test-flight with my new Jasta 10 skin (applied some more varnish), I'm back at Heule airfield - and content.

After fying lots of serious campaign with my Jasta 14 pilot I felt like having a go in the action-stuffed Flanders today. But boy, was I weaned of the danger! Without Labels, I was almost permanently under threat, or at least felt like. Nevertheless did I shoot a Triplane and a Nieuport down. But I wonder if I'm getting too old for this sorta thing!

Damn, Hellshade, you caused my adrenaline to flow high up to the brain, when I read the title. But this video contains nothing that is new. Absolutely nothing. I wished they would build another, really good sequel or prequel. I liked the game very much.

Man, you had me worried - I had been thinking you might have emigrated to California or something like that! Gawd, I can imagine what you must have gone through - no OFF, no Forum, no internet at all - that's tough! Good to see you back, Creaghorn!

Capitaine, I just compared the longer and more informative German Wikipedia article with the very short French version, and I saw the difference. That "strangled with the ribbon of his own 'Blue Max' " seems to be a legend. He got beaten and kicked, but the mortal wounds were gun shots. That must have been a very desperate time for Germany in general, with a bad morale among the German officers. Seeking to keep the old order up, or to bring about a new stern order for Germany, most of them fell for the Nazis.

Isn't it amazing, how they didn't need any high-tech computer tricks to produce a good atmosphere?
