The short of it appraiserfl is that the Hat In The Ring (HITR) expansion does not include a method of 'creating' custom skins. The expansion simply allows you now to assign one of the OFF/HITR skins or skins that you have downloaded. You need an entirely separate program if you want to 'create' your own.

Well since we're all sharing. 1. In front of a Cesna 150. I earned my ppl in that little bird. 2. Silly 4th of July costume. Just my little tribute to my country.

Ill be around tonight (wed) if anyone wants to fly. Ill try to leave TS up around 7:30est.

Ill join you as well.

Missed Axe yesterday for campaign sunday too. Watching football again i suppose?

I still havent set my system up to host. Red Dog or stump can host. Teamspeak IP is 69.162.122.47:8784

I'm usually game for a filght or two around that time.

Maybe an american nieuport campaign after the Jasta 4 campaign ends?

That looks fun!

Had itnternet issues last night duck. Going to try and be on today after our work meeting.

Flew with SittingDuck the other night, along with Axe and Av8er. We flew some anti shipping missions with the shorts and bristol bombers. Also German anti shipping mission. Here are just a couple shots I took of us playing in the flak of the two cruisers just off shore. Good Stuff. Keeping the Archie boys busy for SD to make a bomb run. Flying over cruisers in wooden crates of canvas is a dangerous business.

Yup good stuff. That bridge had no chance haha.

Hey guys, I was just currious how much tweaking it takes to take a campaign generated mission and make it flyable for MP. Kinda like Vasco's missions on sundays. I understand that getting the individual skins into the mission is a bit tricky, but if I just wanted to be able to host a campaign mission, is there anything i need to change to make it flyable for multiplayer?

Thanks duck, ill give that a shot.

The Hunt

sounds good Axe!

2:30pst (5:30est) I'm on TS and going to fly some OFF. If any of you host types are around. PS- i saw RD pop his head in a second ago (on ts) but i was grabbin' a smoke.

Unfortuneatly I'm in the 'Vista' category. Yaaaaaa

Agreed! We are flying with real life wingmen and the advantages are more than just a better pilot than the AI. Human wingmen give you an extra set of eyes to survey the fight, often times things are happening around you that you do not see because of all the action in front of you. Also they can confirm your kills for you, not so much if you're off tree hopping over lone enemy craft by yourself. The REASON I play multiplayer is to fly WITH other HUMAN pilots. I'm always looking for the "lightblue" on the TAC and offer support when possible. Don't know if i'm ready for any blueangles stuff just yet. hehe But some practice flying in formation and learning some 'team' tactics would be fun! King, Firecage and i had a great fight yesterday. That's why I love MP!

Ill be around most of the day. I'll keep my TS up if you want to fly earlier too.

Jasta 4 Pilot: Macklroy 11/29/1917 Report: We were tasked with assisting ground troops along the coastal front lines. Red Dog and I had lifted earlier in the morning to get a good idea of the surrounding area and we were climbing through a cloud bank at 10,000ft as we spotted Axegrinder taking his flight of Dv's off the field. With our top cover available Axe's flight circled only once and headed for our target. Axe's flight encountered sopwith triplanes high just as we were crossing over the front lines. By now I had spotted the enemy tripes and Red Dog and Firecage had now joined our flight turned to attack. Av8er had a computer problem and Axe was left to defend for himself as the tripelanes circled above him. At least a pair of aces were among the tripes it was reported by VonBaur. I turned for the high pair of enemy planes that were chasing an albatross. I pulled into attack the tailing fighter and pulled the trigger......... ........Low on ammo, fuel and cruising at a fairly low altitude on the trip home I spotted a group of no less than six enemy sopwith pups. Dispair set in at first, but a quick glance over my right shoulder and I noticed Kingkat had turned into the attack as well. And to even greater amusement to me was the sight of a third albatross pulling into the attack as Firecage tore into the tailing pup and sent him into a spin. The two lead pups now dove away as the rest of the flight broke up into the engagement. Kingkat pulled onto the tail of one of the sopwith fighters and peppered him on his first pass. Now the distressed pups wignmate pulled up and towards Kings tail. His target fixation on Kingkat made him easy prey for my guns. Down in flames he went just in time for me to snap a couple shots of King finishing off his own tommy fighter*(pictures attactched). With still not all of the pups accounted for we turned back toward the lines. After only a few short seconds we spotted a fight low in front of us. Axegrinder had joined the fight with the pups and was putting one in as we dove in to help. Firecage latched onto the tail of one of the enemy and sent him down. The advantage of altitude helped to take the advantage of manuverability away from our opponents. Another pup turned infront of me and I turned to attack. He caught fire after a few long bursts at close range and spiraled in. Firecage was now pulling in on Axegrinders wing and just behind me Kingkat was forming up. We spotted a chemical convoy along with enemy troops along the roads as we were on our way home and decided to empty our ammo belts on some targets of opportunity. One of the tommy boys got lucky and put a round through Axe's engine he turned for home. The rest of the flight formed up with him and we landed at the nearest friendly aereodrome that we spotted. Signed: Von Makkenhiem ************************* Throught the fight described above Red Dog and Av8er had linked up and others were engaged in other battles at different parts of the map. This is just an AAR of what I saw. I had a frozen screen when i engaged the triplanes so my AAR pics up from the moment I reentered a plane on that same mission.

Cheers to a couple really fun missions, and another .... well not so fun lol (recalls the Dr1 lawndart competition missions) But serriously, Thank you Axegrinder for hosting some really fun missions. I am posting some SS's in my AAR for the 'mock' campaign mission.

69.162.122.47:8784 is the new ip for TS. everything else remains the same.

Perfect for us west coast guys that work evenings as well.

She looked fine from my perspective on the quick MP session you set up today RD.
