My advice is, to use the German planes in an order of descending quality. You start with pilots in the D VII or D VII F (best overall fighter), then change to the Fokker Dr.1 (best tight turner), after that you do the Albvatros D II or III - as early as possible! Then I'd pick the D V, D Va or D Va 200; then the Pfalz D III, the Halberstadt, and last the Eindecker. I'm working on a time scheme for the German planes, that will show the earliest availability for each plane, and the Jasta, were to find it.

Hi, Rickity Great you got it, and running. If you can tell me how to find the profile data, then I could send you mine. I started from "Combat", but made it much more aggressive rearwards. So, after 90°, the head turns much faster, to check the six. Have fun! Olham PS: and we expect movies!

Oh yes!..We don't do Sadness or Dissatisfaction here old boy!...That was Sim Outhouse! Here, we are all happy people!!! Beavis + Butthead style: Oh yes! Huh!Huh! Huh! So happy!!! Just got shreddered by S.E.5 aces, but I'm happy, it was only a "game". Happyyy!!! Huh! Huh!

There should be something like "groundfire" in the workshop; put that on "normal" or "easy" for the beginning. The sim is hard enough without them being cracks. Also, don't fly straight. You best zig zag on your way - that helps a lot!

Zoomzoom, I feel with you. I had nothing but trouble, setting everything up new again, after messing with my graphic card. Now, that everything worked again, I thought I'd start a new Campaign with a superb war plane- the Fokker Dr. 1. But at 7.000 it behaved just strange; stalled so easy, that I found it hard to get behind the S.E.5as. But I got to grips with it after short time, and plastered one (marked with a white capital "B" - any- one knows, who they were?) twice. But what happened next? Two from flight one jumped on the descending plane and shot it to pieces. Before I could reach any other target: the same. They just ate them! After some miles, we met more from this Squadron. This time, whilst trying to catch up from stalling, I got shot up by at least two of them! I was short before tearing down a wall or kick my rig out the window! Think, I'll go and do some jogging now.

There's so much more in that site. All the British airforce, and Luftwaffe museums etc. And the Lysander may look ugly to us, but maybe their pilots saw that different. Pilots are more practical people, I'd say, and find a plane beautiful, whe it behaves beutiful. Right, WomenFly2?

My admiration and respect for those men, who fought Fashism alone, or with only a handful of comrades. Most of all soldiers, they had to fight the enemy AND their own fears. They were heroes, as much as a man can be a heroe. So I'd like to contribute a link to an interesting website, and a picture. http://www.bredow-web.de/RAF_Museum/Westla...d_lysander.html

Hi, MK2 Can we post more than one skin? Cause I'd find it hard to pick out the best one; I have made several ones I like for myself. Thanks, Olham

Thank you, Shredward - that might have been him. Dutch - do you mean the dogfight against Guynemer, or is there more about Udet?

Great link, Creaghorn. Just when I was told by my mother, that my father had known some Jeschonneks; one of them was a fighter pilot in WW1 and had known Ernst Udet. I found three here, and will research for the first name now. Thanks for posting!

Mmuahahahaaaa!!! Zeese crumpets are flyink der high tech Camels, but don't even know how to handl zeire controlls. But vott vill you expect from people, who drive on ze wrong sside of ze street!

That's a threatening picture of a devil - like an ancient caveman's painting! Imagine that on a white or yellow fuselage! There is a white Albatros D V or D Va, I think; and yellow ones too. If they have other signs on already, I try to find another part of the fuselage, that is empty, copy a patch out, and put it in were to cover the undesired sign. Just thought of your devil, on a white fuselage, with a black tail (can be copied from another plane), and a red nose (also to be copied). Try to get a program, that can do that, and let it rock, Beanie!

A design with stripes, I'm working on. But not yet what I want it like. It's difficult, as you work on an "unfolded" skin, to get the lining right.

Great, you got it with the screens, Creaghorn! Here's my latest kill - the Twin Gun Tripe of Collishaw. He preferred to jump to death. The skin is my latest test version of an Albatros design, but not yet what I want.

Creaghorn, best to check your "controls" menue for the key for "screenshots" - mine is F12, but maybe I changed that. You also can assign another key there. The make a screenshot, and look also at C: eigen dateien > eigen bilder (But I think, it should be in the CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields folder). Grüsse! Olham

Although I could really do very well with that new monitor myself, I ask all to read the very first sticky thread, and take part in the contest. Come on!

It has happened to a (real life) female parachute glider. She was lifted up so high, she lost conciousness. She survived it though; woke up, when she was descending. A colleague though, died in the same incident.

Hey, Creaghorn Die Bilder sind auf C:eigene Dateien; da ist ein Folder der Sim irgendwo, und da sind sie drin. Gruß. Olham

Rickity, here's a website of the airial photographer Werner Dittmann. There are photo albums (many!) and SANKE cards! And I can read a little Sütterlin, so post the Marseille text, MK2! Cheers; Olham

My goodness - I could really do with a better monitor. I'll be with it!

Very impressive collection - they look so close suddenly. Especially with Udet I had this impression. Wonder how he felt in this funny special uniform (looks like one of Goering's designs).

Krasny and Ras; TrackIR will improve your overall view, and situational awareness immense. It will NOT improve your shooting skills. Shooting will rather get more difficult, as your head moves now. But you can press "precision", that's like stiffening up your body and neck. Now you can't check your six so quick anymore, but therefor aim and shoot more precise. Your shooting skills must be developed. Forget the gunsights. Find out, were the tracers meet (when you have two guns) - that's your "hit spot". Do some Quick Combat, and shoot at planes. When they come from right to left, shoot somewere in front of them. The faster they fly, the more distance in front of them. That is deflection shooting. It will sooner or later become a feeling. You will now feel, were to shoot. That's when you've got it. Then, you can become an ace.

Click on "add reply", and below the text field, you will find "manage attachments". There, click "search / durchsuchen", there search for the folder and picture, click "open / öffnen", and then click "upload". That's it. See you!

The best reward to me is, that you really seem to enjoy it. And now that you told it, you may as well show some air combat pics of this flight in the skinning section. Have fun!

Hey, Widow - when you start FRAPS, there are choices for framerates and screensize. Try half size, and frames max 25 or so. That should also make it smaller. You can later still view it full screen. Just try.
