Champagne any vintage or wine are fine. In the younger days ,just about anything wet Carrick58

A CONSOLIDATED PT 6 A little off track but nice

Good choice: imerssive game, good price, and a forum of airplane nuts for advice and help. welcome!

Somewhere, I read about a Sop pup being forced to land by a German pilot , dont know if he had a red plane because the british pilot couldnt run away from him. ( out of ammo? Lack of speed ?, The wind at the front?)

I agree, the temptation is to Turn and fight them on take off. Lost one of my favorite Albatross D-3 pilots Johnny Wisemuller , Two D-3s were luanching when the 2 flights of N17s or N16s droped like rain, The Wingmate got smoked and was burnig just off the edge of the airdrome when a N16 overshot him I banked right and got a long burst of 50 or so rds from the spandos ( spandus?) the Nuieport staggered 6 hits but flew on while I picked up 2 Nuieports on my 6 oclock and they were the best shots in england 8 hits then 8 more barked the lewis drum fed machine guns. Clack went the motor , Black smoke then all Red as my kite hit the trees. Pity he had almost 9 hours 2 kills ( N 16 and a Sop 1 1/2 strutter) and 2 claims a Balloon and a N 16. In conclusion, follow the Olham Ditca because Low and slow= find a new pilot.

U know I dont know. F4b4 ? Whatever it is, They fly it in the month may. It screams but doesnt seem to go faster dowhill then uphill. Maybe the two wings ? Just a question. Anyone ever hear of an F-8 made in the 1920s or 1930s ? They said that the P-26 is being returned to flyable status and has had test flights. Susposed to have replicas of a sopwith Pup and a Fokker DR-1 coming in for the Airshow next May.

I agree the 30s Art Deco look still floors me and the paint schemes were wild. The Hd-1 Hanorit that French Ace Charles Nungesser Flew in the Film Skyraiders is located at Planes of Fame, in California. Its a no touchie roped off,but pics are ok As for OFF would luv to see the Hd-1, Fokker D-II and D-III s along with the early French 2 seaters as A I aircraft or flyable.

Your making me drool over the HD-1 yummy airplane and small. Next time, Will try and get a custodian ( they wear white gloves) to photograph the cockpit. The machine guns on Nungesser s plane are two wooden ones painted black for the film everything else is as it was in those days. Carrick58

OOPs sorry

Hope U guys like these a P 26 , a F4B4 ,and a orginal Hanorit brought over at the request of Charles Nungesser The French Ace for his Film called skyraiders 1925. Rumors had it that this was an aircraft he had flown in the war and wanted to fly it in the hollywood movie.

The Quick combat does work The FE s give a good fight that was as far as i got then same o same o crash back to start. Didnt try the fan as yet been going down the advice list i,e, duo core reconfigure to run the therad thur one processor ect.( this did stop the mission faliure to load msgs however, still get the failure to populate airfields msg) thanks I will get to the fan as the list gets shorter (PS luv the sounds and vis effects in the scenario s kudos! Carrick58

When ever I start the OFF game during the mission setup I get a blue and white pop up saying failure to populate airfields. doesnt seem to affect the game. Another msg pops up after I played for a few flights ( I seem doomed to only fly a few times) it reads: failure to load mission. This does effect the game (it wont let me play and I have to exit thru Officers Mess. If I dont shut the computer off for a while, I seems to repeat failure to load ect. Lastly, I down loaded the mod for 40 s D.M. but it doesnt seem to active HELP! Althought I will continue to play it a couple of flights at a time , the way it is set up. Thanks carrick58

Even befor the super patch was getting up to 40 (according to the Frame Rate thingy I downloaded) After ,a small increase 45 of course it does fluctuates lowest is 20 ( Heavy dog fighting 10 a/c minimum plus the flak and arty in the lines and weather) 1 5 1 2 1

U guys are struggleing to get 50 hours ! Ive never passed 8.5 flight hours in the game. The AI is a stinker I agree. Carrick58

I went balloon busting and hunting on or near argonne with jasta 37 in Albatross D-3s While alone I fired 100 rds in bursts at a british balloon a nice (improvement with the patch)( I liked it) experience they pop so nicely. spotted a flight of 3 sopwith 1 1/2 strutters 3000 ft above going to wards my side of the lines circled to the right and taged along gaining height normanly I fire multi bursts at long range and started to here fired off 100 rds in short bursts and the #3 a/c to the right began to smoke but that was all so went closer, at maybe 5 airplane lenghts fired 2 long burts wood splinters were flying off the wings walking to the cockpit . The second burst walking the fire along the aircraft caught the cockpit area an I heard a loud scream then fire from the engine and it fell smoking into the Argonne Forest . Thats when my computer crashed back to the desk top Never noticed those effects befor really nice and I was totally involved in the flight Bravo to the developers and the patchers.

thanks all still working on it will do all the advice one at a time. Thanks have fun gotta luv this place. Carrick58

LOL sorry But couldnt resist spoofing Top Gun of course the best spoof I ever saw on it was a youtube a vid called sungun with korean Mig 21 s but voice over with Top Gun dialog out and out funny

Flying over the lines at 6000 ft, Baron auto Matic and a flight of 2 albatross D-3 s plowed thu the rain streaked cloudy skys. Wondering why he was flying ( no one would be out in this weather). Suddenly ,ack ack poped to the left as he spoted a lone D-3 prsued by 5 N17s . Off to the right and higher at 10000 ft droned another flight of 5 Spad 7s. Starting a slow bank to the right so the hafe circle end up pointing at the lower flying N-17s and the lone D-3. turning around, he saw the other two V strutters were gone lost in the towering clouds. The Baron began to dive figuring for the fatherland. A little left rudder and He was lined up on the flight of 5 N17 s as their two lead a/c began firing at the lone D-3. The V strutter was from 1st flight He thought spotting the markings just as smoke and a long flame started licking along side the body of the single seater the smoke grew darker as the flame grew longer and more intense. all He could think was that Hollywood had been hit. They got Hollywood as his D-3 smacked into the trees. Diving and firing into the emeny flight ( couldnt hit nothing) They scattered as the Baron shot thru the formation like a good looking woman spends money at a sale heading towards a german airfied on the other side of the lines while thinking Home James. Landing at a forward airfield He was surprized to see Willy von Kuberman offering him a bottle of champagne Vintage 1903 seeing how that was hard to get. Willy asked who we got up there. Just as 2 D-3s droned into the landing circle. The Baron auto matic could only point and say all we got up there is Maverick and Goose heaven help us. Slowly they walked off singing you lost that loving feeling, you have lost that loving feeling, bullet holes, holes.

I would to add my thanks to the OFF team and the BOBII team a lot of work with little thanks. You guys Rock .

I tryed one time to go to D.C. Never made IT, I flew into asheboro N.C. to visit Friends Rented a car drove to Va. and found traffic was so bad in D.C. that people take trains in and out. ended up turing Manass Va. and where George Washington grew up then went thru Richmon. Not an airplane in sight. Have a good trip. lol

Thanks all, got it reinstalled and running but it still has issues after a few flights a mesg pops up failure to load mission so I have to exit the program althought it doesnt say it ,I shut dow n the computer. After a while I restart the computer and run OFF and it behaves for a few flights then it starts over mission failed to load. yada yada yada. So for now thats how I play OFF a few flights at a sitting. With that said, I love this game.

Does look like a ski mask Iv seen some like that in Alaska when the wind chill is 30 below zero. However I really dont know

Being foolish, I decided to start flying as Seendly Whiplash in be2c s Not brave (Dumb) enough for the FE2B ,but will Keep the Count Dirty Oil as my Albatross D-3 pilot Its hard for me to think that I was avoiding N11 s and N17 s now I look for them. I drink and sing a version of the WW I English Airmans Drinking song. My Airman Take the crankcase out of my back and remember my wingmate Hass to take the british piston out of my ^%%$$###@ Hooray for the next one that flys. The Champagne I got from Willy Vintage 1903, I Found It Hard to Get.! :yes:

World at War, Silent Hunter III ,and IV and Combat Mission Afrika Korps But looking for a good Tank game.
