Hey, wazzamatta here? Everybody feeling insufficient suddenly? That's what all the real artists feel most of the time - that it should be better. But why not let each other benefit from your ideas, your spirit. And ask for advice and improvement tips? Rooster - did you take the skins out again, or can my system just not open them?

I would have also voted for Udet, but dictators don't let people vote even. Udet, when he had become a Luftwaffe general, finally killed himself, when he saw, which direction everything went in Germany. A real shame - the fatty should have rather done so.

Thank you, Tuba, and all. We will try the setup on Thursday or weekend, and I'll report after that. Edit: Typhoon wrote in his signature: "The only stupid question is the one not asked" (or similar). I think, this forum is a great opportunity to get the most possible out of the BHaH, WW1 combat aviation, and even anything else, as this is a community, we won't find so easily elsewere. I wish, everyone would drop their shame to ask a "stupid" question. You'll always find gentle people, who are more than willing to answer them.

UncleAl: Control X - cancels any existing Warp Thank you for the reminder - haven't known this; very useful, Uncle.

Thank you all! I have dug out the rudders again, and tried them on a plane, that's more forgiving, than the Albatros. I made two QC scrambles in a Fokker Dr.1, attacked by S.E.5a. Although the Dr.1 started with disadvantage, it was quickly above the attackers, and appeared to be incredibly agile with use of pedals. I could even almost do "impossible" things; like 180° turns with no more than a 30° bank. Only aiming and shooting will take some new learning now in combination with this new rudder. But I could already down two planes in each scramble. So that looks promising. Thanks again.

Enemy aces can be downed by you, but not killed. Nor can you in any way change the outcome of the war, so NO for both. And NO: my name is not Pol (Lol!)

Flieger Test Dummy just did a "test ride" on the Dr.1, with HOTAS Cougar and his pedals reinstalled. My god, what a ride! I thought I saw one of the pilots of an S.E.5a vomit out the cockpit - dizzydizzy - but they had no chance to get behind this plane. Shot two down in this scramble, and now I'm hot for more. What this plane can perform with realistic rudder, is incredible!

I only know the pier of Brighton (I think it was). My neighbour has made a flight through Germany, and even found the Berliner Tor (Berlin gate?) with the 4 horses on it. Wonder, how he got refueled?

Oh my - didn't I mention, I was rather a pc idiot? (But, well - perhaps you mean, if I get to grips with it, everybody can. Lol!)

Widow - here we agree. Even on a 19", the view can only concentrate on the mid section - for the corners, you must really look there, away from the mid. So, I don't want a widescreen. It's a bit like panorama fotos - funny to look at, but you can't see the whole at once.

So you're from Texas, eyh? Running 2 x 285 GTX's, you may only need an extra water tower for cooling. (Lol!!!) Well, for the settings of the overrides, maybe CAMELJOCKEY might know the best?

Aren't we merry men already - with a combat flight sim, leaving nothing much to desire, and a forum, that could hardly have any better members, Gous? Cheers, mate

Take the S.E.5a then - a solid, reliable plane; even when you fly her tired or half drunk. Have fun!

The Dr. 1 is not as beautifully shaped as the Albatros. I found it hard, to think of anything, I'd like to see. So I did a version first, that looks rather German military field grey. It's close to a plane, I've sent a video of, in the main forum. More will follow. PS: most work was, to make new, clean Iron Crosses - I didn't like them to be on a white band always. But on the sides, they are a bit too large.

And still believeable for an Allied plane - good work, RedDog.

Nevemind, Lou. He's in THAT mood again - I assume, Jasta 12 just kicked his boot again.

This looks really helpful to me about the IP adresses. I've copied and save this, and will use it on Thursday's meeting. Thank you very much, Tamper!

No, we all mess around sometimes. I even regularly, when trying to win the war single handed, and save every flight member personally. You have compared the pilot file with other intact files? Or you could make a new transfer with another pilot, (after saving his data), and see, what it needs?

Hey, flyboys! In between two f(l)ights: ditto to all! Isn't it great?? [Mercedes engine sound, increasing] See you over the lines!! [Mercedes engine really loud, leaving]

Test Pilot - the WW1 pilots DID trims, but couldn't do it in mid air. It was done with the ground crew. Now, why should you fly untrimmed? As you don't have a ground crew, you can only do it in mid air, by pressing a related button, until your trim is right. Not perfectly historical then, but the result is more like those pilots could have it. So don't be ashamed to use it, I'd say.

Thank you, Tamper We tried the direct connection with a crossover, but no connection. Maybe due to VISTA. Now, I'll get me a new router and try, what you described. Sounds plain easy. If I have success, I'll tell you on Thursday. Thakns again!

May I make this serious suggestion to the devels: Could and would you get in touch with WomenFly2 and other pilots, who have flown specific aircraft, which also appear in BHaH - for the exchange of information about their characteristics? Wouldn't this be a great expanding of the models. At least for future versions? I just assumed freshly, that you would exchange your knowledge with the team, WomenFly2, Todt von oben and other pilots, and you would - wouldn't you?

Have you checked all the pilot data? There might be some elsewere (forgot the name - pilot.xml or uisel something).

This is developing to a nice "pilot's banter and chatter" here - great stuff! Although being a non-pilot, I personally thought, when I saw the tip down of the right wing: Well, so what? The whole plane is dancing on these wings in the air, and at sudden, vast pull-ups or tight turns, an enormous power must work on these wings. So, what should this little touchin daisies do to them?

Hey, Rick - thank you and the investigators for trying to find out reasons for the early death of Gunther. But it was just nothing else but stupidity. The wheels are both orange on the outside, and light blue on the inside. But thanks anyway. Dej - the colour camera is a special development by a secret WW1 air combat service, called "OFF". No one knows, for whom they really work; they have an incredible knowledge about WW1 air combat, but don't seem to make much money with it yet. Perhaps with their new power package called "BHaH" - the camera is included there. Sure worth buying! LMFAO ??? NTSB ??? What's that all - my English isn't yet good enough, I'm afraid. Rick and Widow - are you having fun? You don't expect me flying a pink Dr.1, do you? Rather the plane for Major Liebling. And that's not pink, that's magenta, by the way! Brrrr - that would be one of the worst colour choices to make... The Dr.1 skin above was changed rather subtly, by making the grey-green a bit different, adding the colour stripes and the angle on the wing, a black cowling, and orange wheel caps. Now I'm thinking of a black one, with orange or yellow bits - I'll send it, when ready.
