Stiffy

Here is a detailed account of the raid, describing how people were queing for extra food when it happened. It was a bank holiday weekend so unusual amount of shoppers stocking up on food (including rationed potatoes) http://freepages.gen...ntinestreet.htm The pont is... noone went to a shelter in the folkestone raid, thats why it was a massacre. It is very unlikely there even was a shelter, they had after all never been bombed before.

Dont think you guys have really read the rest of the poem.... they are not going to a shelter because they dont believe they are at risk, instead they are 'seeing it through' (ignoring it) and joining the ration queue for potatoes. Next verses continue to describe that they are in a shop called 'Stoke's' queing for rations. The people queuing are killed when the shop takes a direct hit. It all makes sense when you read the whole thing through.

Thats not bad ram at all, and 2gig would be fine for OFF. Very generous! I'm on 4 now so no use to me but I'm sure someone can use it!

Ive found the stuff from 1916! Might start putting it in a seperate thread.

Looks like it makes no difference what version of windows it runs on.... for the record my medals have never reapeared.

Just a thought but when was MvR shot down and hospitalised? Maybe they thought he was dead then...

Lol sorry forgot to put it up!

Ispired by other users ideas I've decided that each time I get a medal in game I will buy myself a replica.... But first things first, cant be a pilot without my wings! I love ebay :) Next up will be my DFC!

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 1917 Von richtofen is dead!!!.... in 1917?..... Think they need to check thier sources.

Out of interest... if anyone finds any source of replica bars for second award medals let me know, so far only found basic medal

Dowe know what planes are already on the way?... Snipe, DH4, Gunbus, Tabloid.... take your pick!

She'd get my vote!

Its not really about whether it matters... its about taking the time to give feedback to the devs to help them polish their game as it is obvious they are getting close to a profesional product. I think it is the least we can do to help them as I don't expect they can afford to hire playtesters. With constant feedback from players they can make the game perfect alot easier.

Not even a cake? So it seems the bug effects all pilots! I bet microsoft are to blame in one way or another! I REALLY hope you mean POLL

Huzzah looks like Ive found a bug! do i win a prize? :) German pilots all seem to keep their medals here is a post from Ryan H showing his... http://forum.combata...rn-his-passing/ There are many more screenshots of deceased and captured german flyers on the forum.... all with thier medals still there. Also... I dont know if it is possible with the limitations of CFS3 or if there are already any plans to update the medals in game.... is it possible to correct the miss-alocation of DFCs? Shouldnt be getting them with an RFC pilot at all. They were only ever awarded in the RAF in the last months of the war. It also wasnt unkown to recieve foreign medals, british pilots where often awarded the croix de guerre by the french or Belgians. Also noticed that the Iron cross first class is missing?

actually what is more amazing is that the celeron runs at 1.2! I havent edited the file, and it has happened with all my pilots (they are so far all british) I will start up a german pilot to see if the same occurs. Does anyone have a dead british pilot who has still got his medals? Not sure I understand the medals - bodies thing lol. Medals arent burried with people they are sent back to thier families... makes no odds whether there is a body or not as they certainly wouldnt be wearing medals while flying, they are only worn for ceremonial occasions, at all other times a ribbon strip is worn. Different with germans as they wore the actual medals, british soldiers dont, it would be far to showy for english modesty!

as far as I can work out that is 1-3 am here or 12-2 if you are really on daylight saving (EDT) now... Either way to late for me :)

Downloaded teamspeak... so what address do people use?

Lol you got a big backlog... or did you forget me?... going to be hard fitting me in to uk!

Here you go Lou, they are an ebay trader based in UK but they ship to US (ironically they ship there stock over from US!) The service was good when i used them. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/HOME-OF-THE-BRAVE__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Blast! Now I have to buy 2 Bars!

Very nice medal, Ive been thinking about investing in some more antiques, might go for some medals or maybe an original uniform. I'd love to see your WW1 display when finished!

And for the record the telephone works! bit crackly though and try explaining to a call center that you cant press 1 when you have a turn dial!

Or perhaps I really do live in 1916....
