Hey, she can really give an interview! If I ever had to face a running camera and mike - I'd probably get stuck mute.

In the Wiki article about the CV "USS Langley", these aircraft are named: Vought VE-7 (two-seat trainer and later also fighter) Aeromarine 39 (two-seat training seaplane)

Thanks, HPW - I need to fit into the slim Pfalz, once your FMs are finally ready.

...and I had been afraid that he was now on the road even over the weekend...

Congrats, LIMA - I must admit I never heard of that school before. Albatros or Pfalz are always good choices! So are HPW's FMs now finally all ready? A more balanced Pfalz could attract me too.

Hmmm - 450 km south of Le Mans - could it be Toulouse? The nowadays Airbus Industries are located there. So it may be an old center of French aviation?

You see the wires and the crosshair - for some reason, the AA setting doesn't work. Yes, try AA 4x or 8x; and Anisotropic Filtering 4x. And search any setting that may disable AA. Good luck! If you can, post a screenprint of you NVidia card settings - perhaps someone else can help.

Welcome to the OFF world, sceptre. It is a running gag that we keep saying "in two weeks" - OFF II will be released, when it's ready. No official estimation. My personal guess would be 1 May - perhaps. Second question: as P3 has Multiplayer, I guess P4 will have too.

Well, if we name non-combat movies, one of my top favourites is "To be or not to be" by Ernst Lubitsch.

Wow, Lou - when the American pound is like the German half a kilogram, you have lost 34 pounds = 17 kilogram??? Is there anything left of you? Yeah, I think we could be the champs in the old age! My good example is Clint Eastwood - the man never had any face lift as far as I know, and he still has good presence.

Help! Dej?!

Yes, Pumpernickel or spelt bread mostly, and not very much. I often go to bed with a feeling of hunger. But that's only my stomach and it's greed - finds it hard to quit on the tasty things. In the morning a pot of freshly brewed thin-sliced ginger with green tea. Breakfast not before 11 AM (two slices of spelt bread or Pumpernickel). Warm meal between 16 - 17 h (today: lentils with garlic, ginger and coriander leaves - hmmm!) At 20 h two more slices of bread. Hardly any meat of mamals anymore. Salad with good olive oil. No fruit which contain lots of sugar - like grapes or bananas. I really celebrate now some pieces of good chocolate, or a piece of cake, or milk rice with cinnamon - like something rare and special. But I admit: things like a tasty pizza often come to mind, right when I'm in my bed...

I have no chart to offer, but I can proudly announce, that I have managed to loose 6 Kilogramm since Christmas. From 94 down to 88 kg, by eating only full grain bread, far less sugar and products with sugar in them (you wouldn't believe, where they all put sugar into - read the small printed ingredients!); and (non-regular) jogging and fitness training. Now I need to work on making the jogging "regularly".

Perhaps the "Exposition Internationale de la Locomotion Aérienne" in Paris, which was run by the "Chambre Syndicate des Industries Aéronautiques" ?

Must have been somewhere northwest of Bertincourt, Lou.

"The Magnificent Men and their flying Machines" ?

Maybe 16x will be too high (it is very high and may use a lot of performance) - in that case 8x or even 4x for both AA and Anisotropic should look very good still. I wish you good luck, Sid!

When I read, how they have flown one of the missions in thickest mist; when I read how he almost crashed into a huge chimeney; how he lost his fellow pilot in the fog, who was later found dead in a treetop - and then these three forced landings - one, where he was so soaked with petrol from his own pierced tank, that he had to reject a cigarette offered to him by an infantry soldier - when I read all this, I though, what a great courageous character Lee was. You would take your hat off and stand in awe, indeed.

Jasta 14 had a big day today. We went out with 12 Albatros D.II and D.III, to patrol south of the Argonne forest. When A-flight had gone low already, to fly home, we sighted 4 French Sopwith Strutter, escorted by 2 Nieuport 17. My 5 wingmen killed the Nieuport 17, before I could even intervene. Then we hunted the four Strutters down. They had no chance. None of them returned. I got one. I shot off a whole wing. Then I watched him spiralling down in his steep descend, to his inescapable end. He slammed in on an opening. What a contrast - the fighting and the killing, and then the flying over a wonderful landscape in the sun...

I think that's called Darwinism?

Sid, make sure you have selected the native screen resolution of your monitor in OFF. If you haven't done that, it might otherwise look pixelated. Anti-Aliasing should look fine 4x or 8x. To show you how that is in ATI CatalystControlCenter, here is a screen print. It shows the tick-boxes.

Sid, I cannot help you much with NVidia cards. But 16x AA is more than plenty. But one thing is very important: make sure that "Use application settings" (or similar) is NOT checked - otherwise the graphic card settings would NOT be used, but the ingame OFF settings. So if there is a tick-box like that, it must NOT be ticked/selected - you want to use the settings of your graphic card.

Sid, good shots - but I bet you can have OFF look even much nicer. You use very low Anti-Aliasing settings, as you see for the wires being pixelated. What graphic card do you use?

Great shots, Hellshade! Do you also use "High res" for skins?

No, I better go to bed - and hope this will be over tomorrow.
