U guys proabaly already seen this ( a replica FEB4 taxing in New Zeland) just go to youtube.com and search FEB4 I was impressed wating the Mighty FE.

Best I can do: Wikipeda.Org Flying aces of World War I. scroll down lists all pilot names both sides. Starts at 5 Kills and goes up. Thought I saw it mention 2 seaters too.

On the emeny side of the lines, our flights ran into 5 N-17s. 1st flight (3 a/c) had attacked and had the the Frenchies down low by the Argonne and the front lines. My flight of 4 Albatross D-3 persuits dived to attack. Remembering what Olham preches in the forum I kept higher then the N-17s circling. while making a slow right turn saw a N-17 behind a D-3. slight dive lining him up and gave him a squirt (32 rds) got 1 hit then as I drew closer fangs out long burst (46 rds) 6 hits another burst(37 Rds) 8 hits pulled up to stay higher then the circling fight in the weeds and saw my victim hit the ground. Checking my six , I saw an N-17 closing . broke Right, he stayed back there ,tryed a chandel he stayed with me like stink on a monkey, Started a loop then broke hard left for the weeds. I thought ,Hope that they have Maverick and Goose on the Alert Ramp this fight will be over in secs The French a/c closed but never fired ( he must have used up his ammo) so I slowed made a gental right turn clawing for height and a D-3 smoking flew by and crashed. Putting the nose down ,I picked up a N17 heading at me firing a long burst (42 Rds) I got one hit . Hard left nose down I lined up for deflection shot as he began to turn a burst of 40 rds resulted in 4hits closed the range and pulled more leed fired (33Rds) 6-8 hits pulled up saw the N17 still flying in the weeds. Right Rudder and a gentle dive long burst (52 Rds) 9 hits all arond the cockpit boom the N17 slamed in the ground and I finally lost the N17 flying behind me. Losses: 1st flight loss one D-3 I lossed my wingman ( forced landing their side of the lines) TT: 2 albatross D-3. Allied : 4 N-17s (2 were mine) 1st flight got one 2d flight 3 (my flight) :yes:

Someone mentioned in the forum that the Dawn Patrol Allied planes were N-24s ? and the fokker ( in Blue Max) replica is running a moden engine hence the smaller prop. Dont know if that is correct. hope it helps

Pip Pip old chap Rather what? Thanks will try ,I have the mscfs3 dvd and have to insert the 2d disk to play OFF How would one check to see if one is using no cd version cfs3 exe?

Cool will give it a try. Will run a FPS check befor useing the 132b patch. Will it work over the super patch? Still havin g the crash back to the duty room after a couple of flights problem. Dont really know what to do about that one. Thanks

My D-3 pilot Dirty Oil shot up 3 BE2c s over five missions then notice the last one spun from the flight trailing smoke but while the Albatross D-3 circled the BE2c flatten out and ran for the lines this was pior to the super patch. Could have something to do with claims being rejected? Theres a lot going on in the sim.

I like the patch, it does enhance the game. The arty sound did kinda of bother me at 1`st but I just lowered the sound. I think the developers are standing behind the product by offering ( if the gamer wants to install the patch) patches so we can mirco manage the game. I seem to have problems with MSCFS3 remaining stable but thats up to Bill Gates not the OFF developers. Via la Super Patch.

nope didnt defrag befor installing the patch. I went ahead and re installed OFF and the lastest patch. Runs like befor a few flights then Boom I get msg for the next flight file did not load so have to exit. The new patch is real good already noticed a few changes like: Engine cut out as I was swinging into a fight ( not cool) or a heavy landing in a roland crushed the landing gear. P.S. did follow someones advice and lowered the sliders all is set at 1 except the aircraft at 3. Thanks to all.

Polovski: Forgive me, ( I am new to all of this i.e. , mods ,memory checks , unzipping files, running mini programs to check heating of processor) In fact, sitting duck spent 3 hrs of his time just helping me get OFF installed and running. Whats FAQ Q25 ?

I dont think it is a question of being popular. The Commanding Officer had to stay outside the loop in order to function. I think the film 12 O clock high visually explains it best besides it has airplanes. I do know that I never saw a big bunch of people hanging around the C.O. s even when I was in a small HQ Air Scout unit in the Army back in the late 60 s and early 70 s.

No Kiddin, What ya think might be doing it?

Help, post the mesg in the wrong place. I installed the lastest patch the game played but had a tenancy to stutter ( very little) a few games later it was skiping( like paying a dvd with scratches stutter than stops then contiues to play) Today after start up it gives error msg re install OFF. game will not play What did I do Wrong?

The sounds in game are very good and the developers should be given a pat on the back. However, I guess I have a moders mentality and was wondering if some of the sound files can be swaped out i.e., the vickers machine gun sound.

I showed the sentence to my dry cleaners, a veitnam lady and she said that it reads: Me number 1 Me do it long time.

Hi There, Hopeing to find help. Installed the lasted patch,but I must have done something wrong. Now all I get is a re install OFF msg , game wont play at all Its was running and I was having a good time now Grounded.

Will try, maybe its on line with amazon .com.uk or I will try to find an addy for the BBC? Luv radio Control will try to learn how to fly and build this winter. The english also had old BBC TV programs on Battle of Britain( A not so heroic version) and British Bomber Command I only saw 3 episoes. I think it was called they fly by night or am I confusing it with the gangster film They drive by night ?

I was looking at someone else s site and found good pics and a video of a 1/5th scale be2c. The site is www. 1 aero.org.au click on modeling and u will see it. Personnally, I found it hard to believe young men were brave enough to get near one of those things much less fly and fight in it. Unbelieveable.

Theres always something going on in OFF. My Fokker E-3 pilot learned not to turn in front of an E/A or to over shoot your target ( an FE2B) if u do you collect a lot of 303 cal lewis gun bullet holes. Now ,I Have to find another pilot

Finally in right place to see the AAA working over a flight. My E-3 Fokker flight of 3 was headed towards a lone N-16 down on the deck close to the front lines saw another flight of Fokker E-3s (4) and a lone Halb D-3 circling at about 3000 ft All of a sudden Bang a AAA shell when off inbetween two E-3s in the flight 1 broke towards my flight on fire with a long plum of black smoke trailing after it as it spun into the front lines. The other kinda broke apart into large parts all headed down. Gotta luv this game never know whats going to happen.

Thanks, I can live with that answere. I naturally thought it was my computer because it seems to over heat the processor temp goes from 34 to 54 after a few flights then the game seems to become unstable My other games work fine Slient Hunter III and IV and BOB II winged victory ( There is a lot for the processor to do in that airplane game furballs with up to 100 planes).

Would like to try it but not sure if I can do it. could ya give step by step instructions. I am figure Id screw it up without help.

The nueiports are nasty to E-3 Fokker pilots. been trying my hand in them but I mostly get shot up and forced to land or run for the closest german airfield. The pilot Linberger Cheese has one rejected kill and 8.5 hours and was in the nastiest furball between N-11, N16 s and two 5 aircraft flights of E-3 s holy smoke shoot and dodge was the name of the tune. As the a/c danced ,all I could do was pot shot as the frenchies flew by I fired in bursts of 10 and twenty till I was down to 100 rds. I got 1 hit one one a/c the 2 hits on another the rest went into thin air. During the turning swriling mess I saw one E-3 after another go down as the Nueiports skided under the guns. Finally some one got lucky and two N-11s began smoking off to the left Then my wingman went down and I ran for it with a N-16 303 cal machine gun barking after me. After getting down ok found I had been hit three times in the wing 1 in the fuel tank and had a cable cut. Totals: 5 E-3s destroyed for 2 N11s and one N16. I hate fur balls.

Hi there, I am new to this game and was wondering how to install your DM Mod ? Sounds like great fun and was looking for a mod which gives a better shot down in flames look . I downloaded it to my doc s section but cant get it to work?

Although I am new to this and single seaters in particular, I come to like a few on the easy settings. On the german side the Albatross D-3 as a boom and zoom or engery fighter works well till U get two Spad 7s on your tail at the same time ( guess they like my pilot). The D-5 is a nice kite steady as a rock and has ample power. The Albatross D-2 is a soild performer dives like a brick, but doesnt do well when engaging the Trip plane or a well flown Airco D-2. On the other side, The N 11 BeBe is a fun kite and turns on a dime. I dont do much damage, but I have a fun time. Gotta luv the 1 1/2 stutters by sopwith a completely steady machine.fun to fly. The down side, they seem to be easy meat on the table unless in large flights.
