did these post?

No training wheels, Full OFF did rules, ahh I wont last long so put me down too. I cant fly on any long missions because of heating problems on my low end computer. I will leave my bags packed so they will be easier to ship when I crash and burn. Any side is cool.

I was flying a N-17 and got into combat with a Albatross D-2 at around 7-10 000 ft. We were amid Tall white clouds and blue skies. He was the last of his pack ( 2 D-2s at low level and 3 above us 3 N-17s) The e/a scout circled wide then came down on the 6 of my flight .The other 2 Hun scouts were diving level so I cut inside his turn and got on his six. Slowing down , I took the shot ,two long bursts befor my lewis jamed. Gotta luv the graphics hits all over his kite poping up dust ? as they struck. Then a thin smoke trial as the enemy scout went into a flat wide spin. I watched him stay in that death spin all the way down till he hit the trees and exploded The smoke trail left from his burning aircraft smeared the clean blue sky . Awsome. .

Thanks for the advice will try sooner or later.

Took up 23 Sgn FE2Bs for a normal Bombing run. Didnt get to the enemy side of the lines when My flight of 4 got jumped. We were at 4000ft and they fell like rain from above 3 Fokker E-3s. 1st Time I ever got hit by fighters when flying a two seater . They fired as they came down then turned in a have circle and fired as they passed ( a Hafe hearted gun run) They fired 2 or 3 bursts at the most then they were off to whatever ? I took 7 hits during the second pass. so had to put the plane down at the 1st airfield. O ne of the gunners got 2 hits on an E-3 but that was about all.

Bravo Olham Beating those rear gunners. Well Done Good pics too.

Good storie. You can almost smell the powder from the Archie Bursts.

Thanks Sittin Duck: Followed ur directions and used the mouse to put the sighting circle back in the Zone. Works great Thanks Carrick

Kudos, Good pilot story.

Well I play OFF, and then theres playing OFF, Hey am I supposed to have other Hobbies?

Guess Its broke. F-5 OFF or on shoots mostly to point of aim. But punch F3 for the circle and its low and to the left Not sure about the (,) I guess will fly with F-5 always on.

Took 2 flight (2 N-172 lewis guns)60 sgn RFC up to defend a balloon. I say, Had a Row with the Bosche from Jasta 1 they had 5 Halbatstad D-3s. a lot of shooting 2 of the huns were Aces. Bit of an upset wot? they hit my mate right on as they dived thru us. 2 Halb got beind him and took turns shooting him to bits. Poor Chap was smoking badly as I got 4 hits on one of the blithers. Thought Id buy the farm too ( had only 67 rds left) untill I saw a fight of 5 FE2Bs going by so I poped over and the huns left me alone. Bloody bad day.

This is the 1st time that I have heard of FedX being Goosed.

I Dont kn ow How I did it. Has this happen to anyone else ? I was playing OFF hiting the F3 button or F5? and the sight circle is no longer centered The Machine guns shoot low and to the right when useing it. With the front of aircraft mask on (Wind screen machine guns ect ) they shoot striaght ahead just like the sighting circle used to do. Any ideas? Thanks Carrick

They deserve so much more then a Ribbon and a shiney decoration. Awsome.

Blue 78 Yes thats true the poorly rated wingies will leave u in the lurch. I have been with a full sgn of 10 a/c got hit with a 3 a/c Jasta and found myself alone . What a bunch of %$#@.

Thanks Olham, I have Been useing your advice about the tac. It does work. I Couldnt belive the game graphics when the pups came down on the D-3 s Tails. or the twisting and turning fights. Every where I looked something was going on. Awsome game.

Real nice attack, I was up with 2nd wing 3 Jasta on 18 may 1917. The flight of 4 Albatross D-3s spoted 5 Rnas Sopwith Pups 3000ft higher. I broke right. Looking back the 3 D-3s were climbing left in a corkscrew. 3 of the Pups came slanted down on the Albatri s six the other two stayed high circleing right but wide apart. I pulled tight right got off 2 bursts of 40 rds got 12 hits on one Pup then I spun out. Recovering low, I saw the pups and albatross s twisting and turning the lewis and spandua s barking. Noticed two of the pups go spinging to the dirt below one minus a top wing. Turning back to help ( they didnt need it) A 3rd Pup caught fire from a Abarti on its six and headed for the ground in a level dive albit slowly. The fight was over. My number 2 was wounded othwise no damage to the Flight.

Another could be worst: The B-17 s that flew into Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th ,1941 Air battle with Zero fighters all around. The flight Had no ammo and was runing out of gas.

It could be worst. Worked with a guy awhile back that brought land from a show on T.V. Turned out to be located at the bottom of a lake with no mineral rights.

Thanks will give it a go. I am begining to think that FRAPS wont work untill I down load the update which I might do anyway . Always wanted to do a Youtube.

I say, Bad luck. Hope that u have another warming up for his turn at bat.

" Alass poor yoric I knew him well". Mine are loss due to dumbness most of all. 4 example, a turning fight too low ( spun in) Not knowing their was a rear gunner ( RE 8) Going for a balloon instead of flying zig zag. (archie) Flying warp speed (enemy always above and mostly behind). Porching on anothers target ( midair) or shot down by friendly fire. Hiting a tree on landing. Then comes hostile aircraft, Archie fire mine and theirs. target fixation. and rear seater gunners that get better hits then I do.

Flynn; I know what u r talking about. My better hafe said she wanted things for the garden so picked up a shovel and a push broom and plants, Now she wants me to use them. Ya cant win
