Oooh! Olham is right. That is a bad omen. I believe most of those were awarded posthumously. Your pilot should think of asking for some leave as soon as possible!

Gently squeeze the trigger. Don't jerk it. It's not your...

Von Paulus: The computer was a: I5-760 , 2GB ram, GTX 460. Interesting, isn't it? It looks like... stop motion. Sheesh! I bought my current computer in 2008 ( e8400, 4 GB ram ) anticipating the release of this game in THAT year. It's still not released! I also recently upgraded my video card...to a...wait for it... GTX 460. *sigh* Oh, well. The new card runs OFF amazingly! All sliders are pushed to 5!

Hi V4Friend! I'm very excited about your program but can't get it to work. I'm using a webcam listed on your site. It's a S5500 Logitech. I've followed the steps and applied the version 4 patch. I've have the file TIRViews.dll placed in the folder named FaceTrackNoIR. I've ticked 'use TIRViews'. I can see the program tracking my face. I minimize the program and launch OFF. But the face tracking doesn't do anything. Is there something else within the game I need to adjust? Thanks for your help. Best regards, Ratatat

Nice one Olham! One less of those things in my sky!

I wonder how Storm of War:Battle of Britain by Oleg will measure up to this. I've been waiting ( not so patiently ) for the day it releases. But boy, Wings of Prey sure does look pretty, and now it's even customizable! Curse you Hellshade and your amazing videos! So many games! Not enough time! Of course P4 is somewhere just around the corner too!

I'll have to enlist a new pilot and give the bombers a try. Sounds very cool Hasse Wind. Right now my Alb. DV pilot "Helmut von Stahlhelm" has his hands full with nasty SPADs. They're extremely tough! They outrun me and I can hardly keep with them in a turn! I barely survived my last encounter. We outnumbered a flight of SPADs 2:1. It was 6 of us on 3 of them. I managed to down 1 SPAD after a vicious fight through lucky sniping. My plane was riddled with holes and the engine wasn't sounding good at all. When I looked around I was alone with only two other planes in the sky. They were both SPADs!!! Our entire flight was gone except for me! I hightailed it out of there right quick! How did the Albatross pilots deal with these enemy machines in real life without getting slaughtered???

Having been away from OFF for quite a while I decided to fire it up and have a go. Much to my dismay the first mission handed to my new Fokker Dr.1 pilot was an airfield attack. Ho-hum, I thought. I recall these missions as rather a dull, waste of my pilot's time and in the past allowed myself to be distracted by the odd speck flying on the horizon. But this time I did my duty and kept to the mission ( that darn speck was faster than me ). Alright, here comes the airfield. I stifled a yawn, throttled up, and dove down - lining up on a menacing truck. I waited until it loomed large in my sights. I held down the trigger and...KABOOM! Holy @#$%! The truck disappeared in an almighty explosion and I got a screen full of cloud and dirt! I hooted with glee as I flew out of the whirling debris, barely missing a poorly located hanger. I don't remember that happening before! I then proceeded on an unholy path of destruction. No vehicle was safe from my blazing twin machine guns. Black smoke soon blanketed the enemy airfield as anything with wheels burned to the ground. Hey! Are those little soldiers down there taking pot shots at me? Angry bullets whipped and whined past my triplane. This is great! Brave little men they were. Brave little men. Uh-oh. I realized that in my feverish excitement I had exhausted every last round I had for my guns! With a foolish grin I slunk back to base at tree top level, hoping and praying not to be noticed by the airfields owners. A lesson learned. Next time I bring more ammo!

That's wicked! Great video. Small but mean...like an angry wasp!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm off to check the fridge! I haven't poked my nose in to the forum since the P2 days. I think the forum changed hands since because my old name and password wouldn't work. Admittedly I spend most of my time lurking for handy tips and tricks. It was your fantastic work on Paul Blum's story that prompted me to come out of the wood work and post once again. Inspired writing sir! Keep it up! Best regards, Ratatat

This is marvelous! I really enjoyed the read. I found some parts to be quite moving - like Paul's first reunion with his family. I look forward to the next chapter!

Anyone else get this working yet? It sounds promising. I intend to try it out when I get the time. It'll be a nice alternative to commercial products if it works well, eh?

Great poem. Thanks for sharing UK_Widowmaker. I've sent this one out to my friends and family. A bit late perhaps...but definately worth spreading around.

Well done painting jamieandnici! May I ask what size it is?
