I bought SAITKEK flight pedals recently, but found, that some manoeuvers were much different to the flying with my yaw stick. An Albatros - not being the most agile plane - is very hard to fly with them in tight turning combat, and I stall crashed so often, that I threw the pedals in a corner. For a while. But I'm not one, who gives up easy on something (or ...one) he loves. To Womenfly2 and Duck and the other pilots round here: how is rudder to be used in tight turning? And which amounts of? (I think I always pushed it to the limits).

Wow, you flew this plane, WomenFly2 - perhaps you could give me (and others) some rudder advice? I wrote a new thread asking for this.

Welcome, Junnu A good wife you have, when she buys you cans of beer, instead of throwing them after you (Lol!) After two or three flights in "Between Heaven and Hell", I'm rellay exhausted. Sometimes almost trembling. It's so realistic and immersive - and then I must catch a breath, and come here. Perhaps you will make the same experience. Have fun! Olham

So I understand: a rotary is what you call rotating engine; a radial is fixed mounted?

Welcome, Tom I'm SURE, you'll spend what's left of your time, with OFF. You'll be excited! Have fun! Olham

...and more: Red Dr.1 over the Missouri Look at the climb after takeoff, and the rudder work at the end (turning flat on a plate).

Could be the same plane, CJ. Here's more from a red Dr.1 test flight and build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8GtIWp3v1Q...feature=related

Florrie Capp: "Did you even notice: you often talked to yourself recently?" Andy Capp: "The only way to have an intelligent conversation in this house." (I love the Andy Capp books by Smythe. They should make you depressed about his view at mankind - but they make me laugh each time again.)

Yes, it would be a great addition, if the German pilots could write reports in German. Maybe, many or them round here are not too confident with their English. That's why I made the hint to just fill in basic data, without the prose. Perhaps, in a later Version 4 or 5, it may be possible to add. In that case, I offer my help for all German text bits and data to Winder & team; and I would believe, Wels (former Catfish) would join in, too. Just an offer.

How close "our" skinners of "Between Heaven and Hell" (*) have got with their art works, can nicely be seen in these two videos about a Fokker Dr.1 triplane. Flight of the Fokker Dr.1 Triplane--Kingsbury Why Not Land Your Fokker Triplane in a Crosswind? A pitty, that the first video has got the soundtrack removed by YouTube. *) thank you, Paarma, OvS, Makai, Sandbagger and Pol

You don't give up easy, eyh, Widow? (Lol!)

Hi, Typhoon Since you're the one, who sent me my first Phase 2 copy (and many thanks for your kindness again!), I feel the urge to help you with this. To feel good, you want some time for your fun, too. So, make an own list, with BHaH in it. Tell her, it's doctors order. It's a necessity, if she wants a well-tempered husband around the house. And make one sortie a day. It's become so immersive - a must-do on the priority list! Have fun, and all the best for the well deserved new life now! Olham

Pol recently said somewere, that the claim report relates to rather few data (if I understood that right). So, I assume, you could write it very plain and short, like: "Craft hit and destroyed at 08:15 h south-west of Douai." or "SPAD XIII hit with 200 rounds, plane crashed about 11:14 h near Brayelles airfield." If you add more, it should be data "known" to the sim; like altitude, waypoint, direction. For me, such short reports worked and got confirmed. As the sim is in English, I can't imagine it a good idea, to write the report in German. But you could do this check: switch the instruments (like altimeter) to German version, and press "Z" ingame. Red text with data appears. If they are still in English, you should better use "feet/miles" etc. than "Meter/Kilometer". But that's just my idea of it, off course.

Bleech! Dozz anywon take ziss war seriouss anymore?!! Gentleman - we have a war to fight out! Instaed, I see pilots make landink attemtz in hangarrs, flyink ssrough other aircraft, or even into balloonz! Vatt is der matter vizz der Youth of today?

Hi, MK2 You could put the "pause" on a button easy to reach. I often press "pause", when I encounter aces, cause I want to write down their names for the claim report. Also, for your learning, it is very interesting to pan through your outside viwe in that "frozen" status, to find, were evryone else is, and how they are doing. Now the purists would say: "Spoils the immersion! Cheat! Etc." But sometimes, I do that anyway; especially for good screenshots, to choose the right angle.

Bleech!!! Zee crumpetz have a Wunderwaffe! A plane, zat LOOKS like an S.E.5a, butt can shoot wormholes through German planez, fly ssrough zem, and kick out der Engine from der Albatros! Now, vee can only put lots of Sauerkraut into der rear fuselage, zatt would perhaps clogg ze wormhole. In ze best case, zee enemy plane vould not come through! It vould perhaps never come out again???!!! Zatt is der best idea I ever had! Mmmuahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!

If the AI could run out of ammo, it would make sense, to perform some zigzagging or winding manoeuvers, to let it shoot the magazines empty, and then have the advantage. If not, that would be an extreme disadvantage for the player, as they could shoot and shoot, without taking care even, how good aiming is. If AI could run out of fuel, it would have to turn home at some point, or make a forced landing. If not, the player would always be the one, who would at some point, have to get out of the fighting, to reach his hoem base, while the AI could then follow him and carry on shooting. Would you devels tell?

Good idea, Dej (Winder will be winding in his sleep again - lol!) Woohoo!!! Widow - first the Stranglers, and now this! - RFC metal rocker (funny mix! Lol!)

Regard it as a compliment - your great granddad in his younger days.

Great, you all join in with it - Rooster, Hauksbee, Lou and Red Dog, well done! (and if you want to start a German campaign, Red Dog, you would be Roter Hund, or, like a family name: Reinhard Rothund).

Would perhaps be a good idea for scrambles - hide in the shed first, and then roll out for attack, when the enemy is short of ammo. Nice text layout work and music - funny to watch, Lou!

I just did a quick bash on a D III, but read this only later. So, you get a black fuselage now, but with quite some Croatian checker. If you want, I can write something on it. Just say, what, and I'll add that.

Hi, Rooster! Looks believable to me! A bit stiff in the neck, perhaps. I found it very tricky, to get the right size of the face, for the pilot picture. You got the size right, I think. Perhaps, if you moved the head a little tick forwrds, and cut out the cap, to move it a bit deeper down; he (you) would appear "more relaxed" (Lol!) You definitely got the right approach, and the hand for it!

Yes, a plane, hard to achieve a high kill tally with. The Dr.1 or the D VII would be much easier.

Is she standing on a barbeque (Spanish Inquisition?)? Still looking rather happy though. Did you use Photoshop, Beanie?
