JimAttril, you're not alone down there. The "Lord of Winding" must be very near you (Lol!) Steve Drew, you break my heart with your sobbing headover - if you find at least 5 members in Australia, I will make another Australia map - promised! (Wasn't scouserlad living down there? And what about Capt.Winters? And there where more...)

BuB, warp is allowed in Siggi's DiD standards. You can use 'warp', 'labels' and 'TAC', and then name your settings DiD/TWL in his killboard. But I think, you should first get into it more. You should set your pilot to "easy: die roll at death" - that is no cheat and doesn't make anything easier (correct me if I'm wrong), but your pilot doesn't have to be written in again and again. Only his credits will be erased.

Hey, hello all "southpaws" ! I am one too! But I fly with the right hand (it's like cutting with scissors - doesn't work with the left).

Just set up my views in 'workshop' one notch closer; and as I read, that should also increase fraps, I thought, I give it a try and make a movie for fun. (Had not made any since before the last patches). So I chose one wingman for me (Albatros DIII), against 2 S.E.5a (Aces). Wow! I tell you, they where damn good and after us like bloodhounds! Fortunately, my wingman lasted long enough for me to shoot the first S.E.5 to pieces. But right after that, the other S.E.5 had achieved the same. Now I was lucky enough to give the second S.E.5 a good hit. Cause then followed some ten minutes of circling low, tossing and turning about. I couldn't get behind him and had problems enough, not to let him get behind ME. After ten minutes, I went down dangerously low, to evade in between the trees. I came out after short zigzagging, and now he had just turned around as if he had lost me. My chance! I approached him from behind and low and gave him a good burst. From there on, it was like slaughter in slomo - he dropped away and tried to climb again; it was a tearing sight; his engine produced grey smoke now, and I went down to give him the final kill shot (it felt like a Torrero may feel, when he does the final killing with his rapier, knowing, that the bull has already given up fighting). A big compliment to the team - making movies will now be a real challenge again! Thank you!

Say What? - if you liked Red Baron 3D, you will L-O-V-E "Over Flanders Fields". Here, you won't only feel like playing a sim - here you will be a pilot in those days! Promised! Okay, I have begun working on an America map. It would be great, if you Amreicans could send me a Google-Map link with your hometown - otherwise it would be just too much research for me to do. Best to send it as a PM, I think? Thanks. Olham

He's the one, who "owned us all", as the title seems to say - ze Kaiser of our great Fazzerland!

Oh, I see. Will put that right.

He wouldn't say, but somewhere along the "Blues highway" - I would guess Arizona, Colorado or Nevada, from the flint arrow peaks.

Ah, I could watch the pics without registration. Have you photographed the flint tools, and drawn them? That's incredible! My girl friend's dad used to do that. He had found three place in Ostfriesland, that had been neolithic settlements. I have often walked the field with him, and found some great stuff.

Bullet, I would try a more modern version of freedom. So I would like to say: Humanity is never free, as long as it is not free from fear, from envy and hate, from lazyness and boredom.

Thank you! I'm thinking of making a new thread of that map, so more people find it and will hopefully join in there. You're all welcome.

Good find, thank you, hughesyman - will watch it all! I would like to add you to my OFF Europe map - if you like, PM me your hometown, and possibly, where you live now. Thank you.

ZoomZoom, Dimus - if you PM me your nationality and home town, I'll add you to the OFF Europe map. If you like.

Hahaha!!! Great, Rickity - you found a copy of it! Don't even have one myself. I hope, they only wrote good things about me. But that I even made it on the cover - now, that abashes me almost (blush). Please report, if it's a good read!

Dej, you know the good men! Yes "onkel Theo" they called him in WW2. The fact that he has been kicked out in 1944 nicely rounds his fighter career - certainly not a Nazi bum. It was enough, if you had words against Herr Goerings and Herr Hitler's infinite wisdom.

Is that the book "Fokker Werke" ?

Hey, Bullethead - good you're back. Your description of your home place is so cosy - you might have written as well: Please - I don't want anybody to come up with the idea to make a visit! I think, it's understood (Lol!) When I wanted to look at your pics, Yahoo wanted a registration, where I'd even get an E-mail address. Is that for free? I don't like to read all the conditions; if it's for free, I'll do it.

Some of you may smile now, but to me, this find I just made in the web, was a surprise - I hadn't known that! Als im September 1909 zwischen Teltowkanal (...) und der Berlin-Görlitzer Eisenbahn der erste Flugplatz Deutschlands eröffnet worden war, zogen auf dem Experimentierfeld die Flugzeugbauer ein: Wilbur und Orville Wright mit ihrer Firma "Flugmaschinen Wright", Anthony Fokker mit dem "Fokker Aeroplanbau", Walther Huth, Ernst Heinkel und Robert Thielen mit der "Albatros Werke AG" und Edmund Rumpler mit seiner "E. Rumpler Luftfahrzeugbau GmbH". http://www.maerkischeallgemeine.de/cms/bei...ben-fliegt.html When in September 1909 the first airport of Germany was opened (...), the aircraft constructors moved in to the experimental field: Wibur and Orville Wright with their "Flugmaschinen Wright" company, Anthony Fokker with the "Fokker Aeroplanbau", Walther Huth, Ernst Heinkel and Robert Thielen with the "Albatros Werke AG" and Edmund Rumpler with his "E: Rumpler Luftfahrzeugbau GmbH". The airport terrain still exists, but isn't used for flying anymore. Here is a satelite pic.

...where we bury the Boche? Traitor!

Now this is a funny find: an advertising poster from 1919, showing the DVIII. The subtitle reads: "the ideal sports plane!"

A craft we may be flying some day - the Fokker E.V with it's pilot, German ace Theo Osterkamp. Theodor Osterkamp, Oberleutnant zur See 32 victories Medals: Pour le Mérite (Blue Max), Iron Cross 1st class Units: Marine Feld Jasta I, Marine Feld Jasta II Osterkamp was one of the fewer aces, who survived the war - he died 1975. Photograph borrowed from: www.flieger-album.de A website full of great finds - have a look!

Well parried, Kowalski - officer, eyh? Well - I'll have the "Talon" then. I'll use it to shoot that grin out of hqbn's b*m.

Black Adder again - don't know if you'll make friends in France showing this excerpt, but I liked every episode you showed here so far. Happy Guillotine day, everybody.

The airfield tactic is one I use, when out of ammo. But I don't land - I lure them to follow me around and around, until the ground fire finishes them off. When I come back on the last drop (and that happens often - my brain is like a sieve; I keep forgetting to fill in the right amount), I have even had to make a landing in a forrest. There was just this one road cutting through it. Ever tried to land in a narrow alley way?
