Actually sometimes the AI will fly the skin you are using. I had it happen the other day in Campaign mode, I was flying my Rising Sun Spad in a very large flight of Spads and sure enough there were about 3 more Rising Suns in the flight mixed in with normal US94th stock skins. Beard

I use it off and on, it certainly make your own aircraft look better from inside the cockpit. Beard

I only use them when flying online, that way I can separate my wingman from the AI. I do use the tac though. Beard

I'll be there. Beard

If we had copies of the original files those of us with HIR could possibly put them into the game using the Jones Soft Mod Enabler. With it we should be able to easily remove them after the game. I alas have already upgraded to HIR and therefore don't have the original files. Beard

Okay, here's a good question. Do these guys that just get OFF need to install the the previous updates before installing the expansion pack? Beard

I think it did that to me also, the first time if downloaded it in came out way to small and I had an invalid index er sumpin. Downloaded it a second time and got the whole thing without a problem. Good Luck Beard

When I got on with you guys last night I didn't have the FPS problem. Beard

The next to the last section of the OFF forums tells you how to make skins. However, it is not really easy and takes some work and special programs to open and view the skins that are already made (basically you need a program that will view dds files, like Irfan view, which is free). To paint skins you will need a dds to bmp converter like DXTbmp which is also free and there should be a link in the other section of the forum. The skins are located in the skins folder which is found in C:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\campaigns\CampaignData\skins If you go to the download section of this forum you will be able to find custom skins for all of the 94th Showbird Spads that were used after the war. It is a little early yet to find custom skins for the N28s. Beard

Here are Mrs. Beard and I, preparing for a Halloween Party many moons ago. Beard

Cool, I'll be there, hope I don't have that Gotha mismatch this week. Beard

If you go to the Config screen in workshops you may already have 1600 x 900 in there. I have it in mine, but it is using Nvdia drivers, and I can select it. When I experimented with (in search of faster FPS) it came up with black bands on the top and bottom (my native resolution is 1680 X 1050). So it should work for people with the 16 x 9 configuration without the black bands. Beard

I think Ricketycrate's Hanger is pretty full now Beard

You can make short videos with the free version, but it says FRAPS in red in the center at the top. Beard

Here's a Christmas Candy Cane to decorate Ricketycrate's Hanger Beard

That was neat Rickety, thanks for the pics. Beard

I'll be there, hope I have the right TS channel. I can log onto the Black Haze server, but there was mumbling a week ago about things being changed. Beard

LOL, I still have IL2 on mine and have even added all the latest mods, but I don,t fly it. Heck I have even forgotten what the buttons on my joystick do in that game. Beard
