"Bogey" here means unidentified (white spec on the TAC). Due to the fact, that you can't see very far, all "bogeys" become identified friend or foe, as soon as you're close enough.

If I knew, what AAA is... FLAK is short form of Flugabwehr-Kanone (that's a canon to defend flights with). But AAA sounds the same to me - AntiAircraft Artillery - or am I wrong?

Yes, Sutherland and Eastwood - great guys; came toghether again in "Space Cowboys" (right title?), with the also great Tommy Lee Jones and James Garner. Your new avatar is cute, CJ - your little boy must love it.

Enjoy this first flight of a Dr. 1 - and wonder, how small it is!

Thanks, Siggi. Yes, "Kelly's Heroes", or "Stosstrupp Gold" in German. Remember seeing it twice with my dad - he wanted to go in again; he liked it. Here's the English trailer for "The Red Baron"

Nice report, Godzilla. But bad for your family (there may come the day, when your wife and son are really annoied from your 3-sorties-a-day). But you'll be having fun - promised!

After these scenes, I really hope, that other movies will be made, using rendered aircraft. In "Pearl Harbour", there is a great short scene from the channel theater, were a Spitfire is hunting down a Bf 109 E. That was amazing, and since they seem to re-do almost any old movie these days, I wish, they'd do a new "Battle of Britain". Also, more stuff about WW1 air combat could be made - why not another, more accurate film about MvR, or about Udet? For tanks, I like that movie with Clint Eastwood and Telly Savallas (don't remember the title), were they rob a bank with Nazi gold, somewere in France, with the help of a German Tiger. Those Tigers, and the Shermans, looked like or were the real stuff, I'd say.

You sure deserved the pint, Winston But yes - sometimes it goes like easy meat, and another, it's sheer hell, and ended short and hard. Your tactics were good, as they worked, but be prepared, that in another scramble, they MAY care for you earlier - or even regard you as THE primary target. So, in addition to this tactics, a supreme rule is: never feel too sure to know, how it can be won. Have fun! Olham

See "Screenshots Tutorial" thread, two or three pages back.

If you watch it like this: - don't think, it's about MvR - imagine, it's just about any other Jasta - then I'd say it's interesting to watch. The planes were modelled with a lot of detail. Mostly, they seemed (to me) to fly right - the diving though, really, was insane, and physically impossible. But still, I don't know any other movie showing a German Jasta and their planes in such detail. Definitely a man's movie (like Titanic was a woman's movie).

Yes, it is. I always do that. When I read 60 miles total round trip, I fill in petrol for 90 miles, to have some reserved for fighting. If you want to warp, you might even take petrol for 100 - 110 miles with you. Warp doesn't seem to manage fuel control too well. But try it - you'll see.

Honoured by a veteran - thank you, Hood!

Welcome here, Church When you are an "old" RB3D simmer, you will find many friends here, as many others were, too. And some of the dev team had also worked on RB3D, as far as I know. I am just upgrading my rig, because I am SO HAPPY with "Over Flanders Fields", that I know, I'll play it for years. As long as you can't upgrade, don't hesitate to write a thread, asking for peoples help, who have a similar setup as you. You'll find them all very nice, helping hands and brains round here. Have fun! Olham

Well, with eighty-six, you don't want to take risks, right? You want to ROCK 'N ROLL! Have fun, Hood! (What did you fly back in the 1940s, if I may ask?)

Well, in this case, I made an exception and ressurected him; thanks, Siggi! Although I'd prefer to say, rescued him. (Zombies don't smell good...)

Someone said somewhere, it happened, when "auto mixture" or was it "auto level/trim" was switched off, or on - ??? you see, I'm no help. Next one, please. PS: the thread was "warping question", some 5 pages back.

The Bordeauxred Baron: Mmuahahahahahaaaa!!!!!!!! Olham: Hahaha!!! That was a nice and cool surprise you made me there, Jammer! Hope, I haven't shot at you? Creaghorn, it takes a pound of pomade, to glue that officer's cap onto my head - the sacrifice you make for style! The Bordeauxred Baron: Argh! Wels has told my trick. It took me montz to make zee enemy believe, I always only look to ze right! Now don't you tell zem also, zatt I DO check my six! - Bleech! - did I say zat, loud? In here? Verdammte hunderttausend Höllenhunde!!!

Yes, I think it is shift + "I", or only "I" ? Check "controls".

The (Warner ?) movie was made with the German actors speaking English, to reach a world wide market. Then the company decided, it wasn't interesting enough for the big market, and now, as far as I know, there is only a German DVD available - the actors synchronized themselves in German. I think, it even has no subtitles (thanks to Warner, or which studio ever!) But someone above announced a download in English from an unknown source, if I read that right?

There's really not much more flying in there, and I think it is historicaly inaccurate. The rest is a matter of taste - but I liked it better than Flyboys.

DEJ, I have changed my "Wolf skin" now, and used the idea, you had. Now it reads: "Sieh Dich mal um!" (Look around you, or Look back). Better, indeed!

This has been posted in the old forum before, but is worth to see again. I like the play of the valves on the Albatros engine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-58SS77U84...feature=related But, even when the real MvR appeared to look more mature - they still were rather boys but men. Mick Mannocks face (in WomenFly2's thread) too: the face of a tall boy.

Very encouraging indeed, UncleAl. Thanks!
