    I tried this - maybe it helped a little? I'll keep testing it and many thanks Widow! I'll give this a look. Thanks VP!

    This is a fine game Widow. I just downloaded, have played a few hours and already I'm more into it than Skyrim. Strange. Beating people up is a lot of fun and the facial animations and voiceover are amazing. I like to try and tell when people are lying. I am getting the stuttering issues however and will have to troubleshoot a bit. I haven't measured FPS but it gets pretty low at times. It doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the game all that much as it's pretty minor but for a brand new game, I shouldn't have to deal with it. Did you say you modified something to fix your issues?
  4. OT The First Snow of Winter

    It's snowed twice here in New England with the first storm causing widespread damage and power-outages. My sister lost power for more than a week and my brother and father stayed with me for 4 days. The weight of the snow/ice coupled with the fact that there were still leaves on the trees made for a disastrous combination. Then maybe 2" of snow the day before Thanksgiving. It's going to be high 50's today though with sunshine which is balmy for this time of year.
  5. For Olham

    I've used that same support email in the past and received a response back within a matter of hours.

    Thanks Hellshade for introducing me to the game - loads of fun so far. How do I get a companion? I'm near the end of level 1 right now.
  7. Happy thanksgiving Yanks!

    Thank you Widow, Lou, Von Paulus and all for Happy Thanksgiving wishes. At my dinner table, each person is given a card and asked to write what they are most thankful for and then elaborate on it. For me it's easy. It's my wife and children and all my family being healthy. And as Hellshade so eloquently noted, I am thankful for this wonderful forum and for all of you - my good friends. Best wishes everyone for a Happy Thanksgiving!

    I just took the plunge and started a Nord character named Saxe. I've just begun my 'open exploring' of SkyRim and it's amazing!
  9. Damage

    I run into them often enough Jarhead. Here is my D.VII which was very flyable even after this damage. The long piece on the tip was actually flapping back and forth as I flew.
  10. Thoroughly OT! But please help

    You can find some very knowledgeable people here and they've helped me upgrade my rig over the past year. Good luck with your new venture mighty! I too work at home for the past 9 months with a startup so if you want to swap war stories just PM me.

    I did some research and it looks like something I'd like to try. I haven't seen anything about performance issues on the PC but one would hope if there were issues on release, it would be patched by now. Can be had on Amazon for $33. so it's worth looking into.
  12. This was very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for posting Capt!
  13. P4 DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS

    The many little details that are often overlooked are the ones that make all the difference. Please allow me to buy you a virtual refreshment gents!
  14. OT Anagrams

    OFF DELIVERS LANDERS or DELIVERS OFF LANDERS .
  15. Amazing stories guys. Have you seen this one?
  16. Thanks for posting Olham! This is very valuable and as a relatively new flier, I need to remind myself of these things. As far as OFF is concerned, I don't necessarily agree with 3) Fire only at close range. A good deal of my kills are made possible by firing at distance and weakening the enemy craft to the point that they lose maneuverability, and then move in for the kill when they can only fly more-or-less straight-and-level. Recently I fought with my D.VII against Spad XIII craft and I couldn't keep up with their speed to save my life. Only by firing at distance at first could I then weaken, and then set them up for the kill.
  17. I was doing some research on Mannock as I fly with him in RFC-74 and I came across his rules of engagement. Most of it is common knowledge now but they serve as helpful reminders when we take to the skies Over Flanders Fields. Pilots must dive to attack with zest, and must hold their fire until they get within one hundred yards of their target. Achieve surprise by approaching from the East. (From the German side of the front.) Utilise the sun's glare and clouds to achieve surprise. Pilots must keep physically fit by exercise and the moderate use of stimulants. Pilots must sight their guns and practise as much as possible as targets are normally fleeting. Pilots must practise spotting machines in the air and recognising them at long range, and every aeroplane is to be treated as an enemy until it is certain it is not. Pilots must learn where the enemy's blind spots are. Scouts must be attacked from above and two-seaters from beneath their tails. Pilots must practise quick turns, as this manoeuvre is more used than any other in a fight. Pilots must practise judging distances in the air as these are very deceptive. Decoys must be guarded against — a single enemy is often a decoy — therefore the air above should be searched before attacking. If the day is sunny, machines should be turned with as little bank as possible, otherwise the sun glistening on the wings will give away their presence at a long range. Pilots must keep turning in a dog fightand never fly straight except when firing. Pilots must never, under any circumstances, dive away from an enemy, as he gives his opponent a non-deflection-shot— bullets are faster than aeroplanes. Pilots must keep their eye on their watches during patrols, and on the direction and strength of the wind.

    Very nice Widow. It must be cool to share things like this with your son. Was that you're trusted steed Swift?
  19. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    Nice MikeDixon. I've always preferred a human-looking character to one that is not as I feel it's easier to envision that it might be me out there causing mischief.
  20. OT: ScreenShotWorld

    I just checked back and now I can view photos fine. There must be a few minute period where they have to get our account up-and-running before we can view. Fantastic! Currently there are not that many members so let's go take that forum over men!
  21. OT: ScreenShotWorld

    If we show up in numbers they'll have to start an "OFF" thread.

    Nice site itifonham. I bookmarked and used one of the shots for my desktop.
  24. OT: Attention Fantasy RPG Fans

    Very nice Hellshade. That Lydia is a keeper! She goes in there and engages and then you can do damage from distance. It reminds me of when my wife and I play Halo. She runs into combat like a banshee and I hang back and we're the perfect team. That scene on the snowy mountain around 4:40 was epic including the sound effects of walking in the snow. You guys are slowly making me realize this game is a must have. I'm not sure when but at some point I'll definitely take the plunge. Right now I'm playing some Batman: Arkham Asylum to fill the void as I never really got started with it way back when.
  25. Thankful Villages...

    That's amazing and lucky for these towns. I live in a small village of perhaps 2,500 people and men have been lost in every major engagement going back to the American Civil War in the 1860's. The village was around during the Revolutionary war (1770's) but I can't say for sure whether any were lost.
