Roman reenactments? Gee - do you have pics of those?

ZoomZoom, nice to see you back around here! WOFF will still need central CFS3 files, and therefor the user must have or get CFS3. Apart from that it will be a whole new sim - not just an update or add-on for OFF. Robert, thanks for your kind offer, but I'm addicted to skinning - so I'll do any new skins I need, myself. But when the download section works again, you could always make them available for everyone there. Wasp, the "R" skin is a special paintjob for CaptSopwith, but you may like any another of my skins from the download section. Mind you, they are mostly Albatros skins.

Okay then - check your messages, Capt.

Thank you, Shiloh. Wether each man knows exactly where to fall or not - it seems to work well anyway. I guess I would be drawn back in time, right into this battle. Not sure how that would feel though.

Damn, that looks like you could well be all employed for a movie like "Gods & Generals" - so many blue tunics, and the guns look really old too. I wonder: did the grey ones each know, where they had to play being hit, and fall? Or does everybody play it "by ear"?

He didn't say: "...will be..." - he said "...is..." - amazing!

They seem to fly at least two miles, before they turn. If you don't want to follow them, you could sit in your crate at your field and switch onto the others' aircraft. It's often hilarious to watch them all aim for the same line of trees, where you may see as many columns of smoke in the end, as there were comrades. :flyer:

Follow them long enough, and you will reach the turning point with them. From there they fly back towards the field and (try to) land. It depends on the landscape (trees, hills etc.), wether they make it or not. But the airfield of Bertincourt (Jasta 2) made me witness several fine landings of my AI comrades in their Halberstadts. And when they make it, it is a very heartwarming experience!

Here is another new photo again from the great BUDDECKE website. They add new stuff quite often; it's always worth to check. The photo shows Feldflieger-Abteilung 62 (FFA 62) with Max Immelmann (5. from left) in front of the "Immelmann-Haus" at Douai.

Nope - no idea what it is. I just found it in AMAZON, but it seems to be more like a cyber helmet - as if the pics are shown in little screens right before your eyes?

Here is the address of 2connect Ltd. (via AMAZON) for the TrackIR 4 Pro for the acceptable price (IMHO) of 119,- Euro. http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B000EP3BAC/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new The TrackIR 4 Pro can be used with the newer TrackIR 5 Software.

Best tip for fighting rotary-fighters: never turn right turns with them - force them into turning left. And make early use of your twin Spandaus. A half damaged kite is even useless in the hands of an ace. If you can't turn tight enough with them, fly no circles but ovals or eights, with dives for gaining speed, and tight turns in the high curves. In left turn rounds you CAN get behind them - I did it many times. Good luck!

Better now than when WOFF will be released, I say.

Wasp, you can actually fly across the Alpes to the Riviera and northern Italy. I have flown to several places in the Alpes and checked the coordinates with GoogleMaps - they were almost spot on. If you fly in the Alsace area, you can use the many lakes there as landmarks. They are also very close to what I found in GoogleMaps, and give you a fine orientation.

Alright, thanks for the info, Dave!

Aaaahhhh! Albatros! .... Lovely!

Yes - Erik simply had to do some work on the forum. He announced it at the top of the forum page.

Yeah - that's another good picture!

Feels like having been under water, holding my breath for a long time - and then: surfaced. Good to see you all again! Erik will hopefully find some sleep now, although maybe the work isn't finished yet? However - have a good rest for now, man.

He must have missed them all the time...

Looks like it has found a new owner then? Thanks for the link, Robert! You don't see windsocks??? On my German fields I'm sure we have them.

Just stumbled across this offer: "Stow Maries", a British WW1 training aerodrome for sale. Anyone with 2 Million Pounds at hand? I collected some photos from various forums - perhaps one of our history buffs can contribute some information on this old aerodrome?

I couldn't rate it, cause for me as a graphic designer it's easy, and I have the tools. For a start, you should get IRFANVIEW here: http://www.irfanview.de/ With this program you browse through the skins (CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields > campaigns > CampaignData > skins) and select a basic skin for your additional works. You save it a a bitmap file (BMP), on which you can work now. From here it depends what programs you have available. The finished work must be re-converted into a dds-file again (DDS1). For this, I use the freeware "DXTBmp". There is a great OFF Forum department on skinning here: http://combatace.com/forum/212-off-photoshop-and-paint-shop-help-for-skinning-and-3d-modeling/

D.III skins are mostly or all from James Romano (OvS), Adger. So you added the "stolen heart" (Werner would like that!) and the writing?

I guess that was a close one, Robert! Great to see a French fighter around here, Adger, and your "Mathilde" skin looks very believeable!
