Hauksbee, what did you just recently say about the work as a graphic designer; that the customers always try to tell you, what you got wrong?

Wow, that's a great colouring, Widow! Your yellow looks actually more juicy. Do you think you could make the nose and tail yellow the same way?

Good Luck! No parachute http://www.youtube.c...h?v=HgSSaENMuGA .

Dej, I don't know the time of the fight, but the painter showed a sunrise or sunset time here. At that time, the golden sunlight is warm at more altitude, while it only just begins to kiss away the bluer shades on the landscape down there. So IMHO it fits very well. Widowmaker, that is a great example of "action" in a painting - the cavalry almost exploding towards the viewer.

Yep, I thought the same about exactly the same clip, Dej. Some of it doesn't look like almost 100 years ago, but so much closer.

Indeed, Javito! We have brought up all gentlemanly conduct not to whine for six long months, Lou! (Damn, is it already six months ago? Where did the summer happen?)

Hauksbee, I know soooo bloody well, what you mean (same profession). Ditto, ditto, ditto! There must be so many people with the right knowledge about all this. Why does nobody ask them?

Checked Google Maps, and if he was starting in westerly direction, the village Heining wasn't far ahead. I guess, that the craft normally does a turn like that with not much effort. But an engine with cut-outs must be unpredictable, powerwise.

Couldn't find anything about the positioning so far, but here's Wiki about the British roundels: http://en.wikipedia...._Force_roundels For German Albatros, I read that the Johannisthal plant placed the fuselage crosses further back, while the OAW placed them further forward. But I guess, in case of the upper wing roundels, there was a change ordered by British High Command for some reasons?

Quite right, Shiloh - flying so close together would have been sheer madness. If two craft get that close to each other, yes, but not six or seven. The artists often attempt to fill it all into the chosen format; which unfortunately results in a less believeable painting. without any doubt, Flyby. I had written a similar post time ago. OFF has that artistic touch to it through and through, that lifts it out of the average sim or game.

Just found these two paintings by Steve Anderson over at "The Aerodrome". I guess they'd make good desktop backgrounds.

Well, one example is the Fokker Dreidecker with the Tatzenkreuz (1917 Iron Cross). It is shown all red in the film. But only MvR's last Triplane, short before his death, was all red. That craft had the new Balkenkreuz painted on. The others had a red nose and tail section and upper wing, but the rest was mostly grey-green.

The pilot seemed to remain almost unharmed in this crash (light injuries), due to a dud engine (if I interprete the sound right). A pity - she was a real beauty. .

Some of our newbies may not have seen this art school student video yet. It has an eerie atmosphere - produced most simple, but with great ideas.

WW1 Aviation History In Color HD - it's in French, but even if you don't understand it it is well worth to watch. Enjoy! Part One Part Two

The new aircrew look so alive, that Lewis so lethal - and there is even a little speedometer prop under the nacelle. Makes you want to fly out again with Farthington-Smythe, Mouldsworth-Thorplestorpe and Tottenhamspur to search for that lost rubber duck!

Ernst had a pact with the devil about flying.

Needed a break from Lt. Harms' "serious" Campaign and went up with Jasta 50 just for the flying. Some Nieuport 24 didn't know that and got me out of my daydreaming. Their own fault.

I guess we're just trying to fill the gaps between new screenshots, Pol. But perhaps we should make an own thread about "funny commercials" or such, Flyby?

Oh boy, we are just hopelessly silly cases here! Debonair, but hopeless!

Our cows also liked Cannonball Udderley.

Cute! After living on a farm with cows for three years, I know they are very friendly, warm and socialising beings.

Ah, now I could watch it too. Thanks, elephant! Raises the question, if man is really one step beyond the apes' intel.

???? sometimes I stand on the line - what are you talking about???
