bullethead: Its funny you were writing about former enemies. an that now you associate with them. Just a week or so back at a Jiffy Lube, I swear that I had seen the guy changing the oil sometime ago. The only thing was that I remember that he was wearing black P.J s and holding an AK 47 in a tree line by a rice paddy. Time does change things.

I say, hes a fine lookin chap. You did well Con grats on the Blue Max. I am sure you earned it. On the upside we have post girls over here too. On the down side most of them look like someones brother. Since I do my own ironing too, I buy a lot of wash and wear or permament press. ( it gives more time for OFF) ENJOY

Erich Zann : E Z ? This game is fun and intense. Welcome

Yes I thought that I would loose the pilot didnt like that kind of risk by accident

Found 3 two seaters slighty above me. I was on their 6 like stink on a monkey. Closed in under them like all my BE2c Kills. Raised slighty ready to fireonce I was Level Thats when the tail gun opened up. They were RE 8 s and at that range their rear seaters gun was deadly. took 12 hits in the wing and a bunch in the Body and tail was nearly shot to bits but I still could glide to a forced landing. Moral Look be for you leep.

My wife gives me bills and honey do this and that.

Opened with paint, but only shows where to save i.e. Documents ect. Tried to save the fraps screen shot and post from documents. Didnt work said failed to load. I must be doing something wrong cant be super hard. to post shots or make a movie for U tube.?

FRESH MEAT, welcome the grinder awaits.

Hi all, was wondering if their was any information on uploading screen shots from FRAPS I have the free version. When I tryed to up load a screen shot , I get an error msg ? Any Ideas ? Thanks Carrick58

Yes, More cannon fodder please. or signal recon aircraft instead of flights of the silly beggers.

Thanks Rickycrate I was worried but now its cool.

My AVG Virus sas no virus detected, but cant get the emoticons to work. Anyone having a problem?

Never read anything that stated The OAW Albatross D-3 had any mods to the wing, But I did read that the Austrian build D-3 were changed, Some think that the aircraft was a different model. Some authors state that the Oeffag version had a stronger wing and body design thusthey could take stronger engines without extensive modifications. They fitted a 185 hp motor for power. However, the Oeffag company did maintain the common fuselage, undercarriage, and tail surfaces of the D-3 but the wing design and body were changed. With that said, They did build a strong and beautifully crafted airplane.

Jasta 3 flight of 5 Albatross D-3s got Bounced by a 56 sgn a flight of 5 aircraft. I used Olham method of assigning targets. The fight started with them 3000ft higher then Emil v Tripiz s (2 Kills) flight at 5 000ft Lots of diving twisting and turning and pot shots. Great deflection shot long range but only a handful of hits. Spoted a SE 5 being chased by a D-3 being chased by another SE 5. Looked up and saw a diving SE 5 shooting at an Albatross circling right a lot of misses. finally, after staying away from the enemy fighters saw close by a lone SE 5 slanted down for the weeds. The D-3s machine guns chatted and got hits as a thin veil of smoke streamed back from the english scout smearing the blue sky. Hearing gun fire from behind , Emil broke left nosed down and signaled recall. The Jasta broke off the fight. Score Card. Both sides: Loss: 0

Right on! Used it for payback Thanks

patroling the lines at 8000ft Jasta3 flight leader saw two flights. 5 Se5 s 2000ft lower and to the left. Signaling to attack the 56 sgn SE5 fighters . Emil von Tripiz turned alone to attack a closer flight of BE2c s slightly above and ahead. Slowing he slide sliped as the range closed. This is hammer time, Fangs out he fired 200 rds or so parts flew off the enemy twoseater. the 2 seater then pointed his nose down. Seeing his winmate heading back, Emil kicked the rudder of his Albatri D-3 and sent 180 rds into the second Be2c which started and engine fire. Sprialing down he watched as the smoking BE2c went into the ground below. Meanwhile, 56 sgn sent one albatross spining into the trees. The others landed with holes sometime later. Payback. no easy kills for the wingies.

Id like to give it a go. since my computer overheats, I cant do any long flights. I am in( USA) so the time differance might be a problem

Got into a position to shoot up 2 sitters in a flight of 4 as they were flying straight and level, no evasive action.( Jasta 3 Flying Albatross D-3s) The wing was just hangin back (3 other D-3s) so I closed The BE2c bursts into flame an engine fire and slants down in straight and level flight. Nose to the left and the remaining ammo goes into the other tommy BE2c chunks flyoff light smoke streams back as he drops out of formation and sinks towards the ground below. 2 More a/c left to go. What does my wing do they shoot up both of my smoking BE2cs and let the rest go back to France. They get the kills and I get Zippo. Pilot Emil von Tripiz, still has only 1 Kill.

Maybe we could use letters to mark ace a/c individually ? The Cfs3 had a feature that let u could put letters on your individual a/c ( the P 47 ?) and go swaming off into the cyber blue maybe we could convert that to OFF ? Just my 0.02 cents.

mmmmmmmmmmm full figure and nice lines But can she cook ?

Welcome to the meatgrinder, the people in the forum is whats makes this place great. The game is really good but the people go to the 10 percent extra to push it over the top along with the game support and developers.

I Cant speak about others, But I use the Guess-I -Mate method. U can get fairly close by setting the cam directly overhead so u look directly down from the aircraft . At 3000ft punchoff the bombs just as the nose lines up with the target. At 6000ft let go the bombs way before u get to the target. I used airfields so u can spot the bombs hits and adjust. Under 3000ft not a good idea.

Well, that made me drool. Now I have someting else to save money for. Thanks for the peek at a great show.

Good information

I am just getting back into modeling. I used to do 1/72 but I seriously think that 1/48 scale would be best due to costs and ease of access from the web. Check modelmadness.com for kit reviews and the ads listed or amazon.com to price and buy. Hope to learn enough to built R/C in scale.
