I have just updated the Barker Black nosed Camel within the set of four currently in the download directory to improve the skin graphics which were rather crude on my first attempt. Best Regards;

Olham; I also ordered it just recently and am awaiting it's delivery so I will keep you informed as well. It will be going on my Intel I7 board which I use now.

In Canada we have a saying" If you ever need a police man (cop) in a hurry just go to the nearest 'Tim Hortons' (very popular Donut and coffee shop), but after looking at your photo, Please don't let the word get around. Berlin is too far away for our police to respond when we need them!!!

Oh there will likely be a good market for generators in the next few days as I suspect considerable power outages.

Good Idea Tom; Since I am located in Ontario, Just north east of the Toronto area (100km), I can say we have been receiving temps in teh 46 deg. area with constant rain for the last 3 days and brisk winds but so far no more than that. The real front is suspected to hit us by Monday. Hopefully the Delaware to New York sector will fare well. We will just have to wait it out. Best Wishes to all in Sandy's path.

Salute! and to all those who went before!!

Thanks Lou, I appreciate the comment but I still have a lot to learn on this subject.

Snipe you say!!! OOOOHHHH! Now I get to model Barker's final aircraft. The one he was seriously maimed during his last combat mission against a multitude of german aircraft. Thanks for the tip, just another great reason to drool over WOFF!!

Thanks Widowmaker; I'm kind of partial to Barker's planes and wanted to fly them in OFF. I'm also new to skinning and have a lot to learn. The effort certainly makes me appreciate the time time involved in generating a really great skin, and I'm certainly not even close to that yet and it took me almost a days effort to just mod these 4 craft. Thanks for looking at them. Best Regards;

For those interested I have modified the original OFF skins and added a Red Canadian Maple Leaf. They are posted at the following link: http://combatace.com/files/file/13478-se5a-and-camel-moded-skins-with-canadian-maple-leaf/ Best Regards to all;

The skins download has been modified as of 2012-10-25 to correct an error in one of the skins. I have also added images of the skins to the download for those interested as suggested by Olham (Thanks Olham for your suggestion). Best Regards;

Thanks to Olham for pointing me in this direction. These skins have been zipped with "7Zip". I have added a Red Canadian Maple Leaf to the original OFF skins for those interested. and the zip also includes .bmp screen captures of each image.

The download file for these skins has been updated as a result of discovering a flaw in one of the skins and to add ".bmp' images of each skin. If you have downloaded them I suggest taking a fresh download to ensure you have the latest update. see attached skin images of the download package Best Regards

Nice vid Olham! It's great to see these historical craft in the air for posterity, whether repro or original! Thanks muchly!

What you have discovered is one of many things which we could learn about the "Pilot Dossier Text" file. I have a post in BHaH General Help at this link: http://combatace.com/topic/70886-question-re-pilot-dossier-text-files/ To date there has not be much new knowledge posted at this link, mostly speculation. I think a sticky on "Pilot Dossier Text file" would be a great place to accumulate the knowledge of the few for the benefit of the many. This post of your could be the first. What do you think??

Well, how do I say this!......At the time I thought I might have had too many virtual beers, but thanks to FRAPS I know I'm alright!!! You have to view the attached vid to believe it. Either those British ground crews are amazingly exceptional in response time or God occasionally lends a hand! Whew!

I'm with RamblingSid on this one. Want to make sure Workshop is tweaked to optimum before campaigning so I will use QC in free flight mode to start. Hopefully there won't be too much tweaking necessary!

Many thanks for the post. It is a great slice of history.

Love that smiley you added at the end of your comment. Is that your own creation? I haven't seen that one before. I'm still laughing half hour after seeing it so I just had to respond.

Loved the scramble vid!!!

Shiloh; I think if it had another 200 feet to fall it just might have got it's lower wing as well and then who knows!!
