Man I dont believ these. Sara before she got the squared off bow, the repulse transiting the canal, Keystone bombers close up, Hawks, DH-4s, man, i nearly stained my Fruit of the looms. This was when one of my great uncles was a career NCO, but I only have a few pix. None like this. I cant believe how good the photography is with the lousy equipment they had back then. This man was amazing. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 005774/p/1

I was doing a very similiar tirade daily when I was flying CFS2.....no really, ask Dubbo, he knows how I am. i made this post on how I would make a sequel to it about CFS2....a bit down the page. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums?a=tpc& ... 8851066774

yeah, I kinda hate MS ever since my bad experiences and frustration with CFS2. I understand they got outta combat sims due to political incorrectness, and Im quite glad if thats the case. I didnt reboot it to get it to work again, just clicked on the profiles. For some reason it hadnt auto loaded my IL3 one. It happened one more time after that also. reformatting is jsut not an option rt now, as I have alot of work I have to do with this thing and just dont have time or resources to save all I need to . Ive gottenit pretty stable for themost part with various programs to clean stuff up, and I run em regularly. I still could use a visit by him for other tech stuff, like putting in this blasted video card arsenal sent me for free. I still cant get t he old one out, and I know better than to try. I just got back from Jasper Ga (in the mtns-I swear I thought I saw Jethro and granny on that old truck) from getting my moped headlight fixed. Turns out i installed the ground wires wrong when I put it together 8 mos ago. I aint workin on nuthing no more! Im letting folks do it that have some idea WTF theyre doin. I just gotta find a sat when im gonna be around here for sure. Certainly is generous to offer to drive all that way. :!:

:!: oh yeah, doubletap.....that's really cool the way you guys managed to keep that chick's mike on when she went to the head (I said went to the head, I mentioned nothing about giving it :roll: ). Man, do all the chicks that work there hate men that much? you should tell the guy that made that little "mistake" that he could always apply to Howard Stern.....i bet he'd hire 'im. well, back to shooting traps.

This time, I would really like to fly Red, but of course, if needed, I can fly for the forces of evil. I just have a thing for Midway since I was a kid, and have always tried to imagine what it would have been like flying F4Fs,SBDs,etc against such odds in such a desperate battle. Like I say, I can fly IJN if needed though, since by nature I am definiitely not normally the Dudley Dooright kinda guy (twirls handle bar mustache between fingers) and am widely considered the epitomy of evil. :twisted: Midway is the most fascinating battle to me, and Ived always admired those guys so much. I got to see George Gay at a symposium once (I was sitting behind Cliff Robertson), and I read his book, along with a million others. this looks like a wild ride. :!:

NOW I know why you guys are so damned hard to hit online....you're all smashed. Im calculating tangents, ballistics etc, and all you guys are doing is trying to fly a straight line. I guess that's why we keep getting that ominous "cheating has been detected" message. :idea:

wwell this is strange. Just as I was about to uninstall it, I went back to the interface that Id been messing with for so long, and clicked on profiles. I actually got in , and strangely it was working again. So its healed, and I dont have to go thru that damn hassle. Im kinda wondering why it happened though.

well i cant get Trak ir 3 to start back up without this deal about how it has a problem and must now close. The lights come on, but it wont work. Ive rebooted etc, but no go. I assume i must uninstall it and reinstall, but god thats a pain in the ass. It was just fine a few hrs ago. Ive not done anything, and ive kept my virus scan, spyware etc as up to date as I can. I ran windows reg cleaning program last week, but ran fine since. Not done a bloody thing. Any idea why this crap is happening? I know I gotta reinstall, but this is silly.

I posted a wad of screens on the ubi thread, but its already back to p2. I dont think anyone saw them actually. I had alot more, but this mysterious disapearing screenshot problem has wiped away most of the ones i took when I was testing it. Go figure.

BTW, how do you save a trak of this? I have a key mapped for quick start record trak whatever, but I wondered if that worked online. I could get some really good stuff if i could record this chaos. Like i said, i had some other really dramatic ones of the He and 110s attacking those Ruskie ships, but they just seem to disapear sometimes. Even after I see them, they just arent there after Ive done some more. Those file names changing must be the cause somehow.

:shock: OMG!

VT, was that you that time that shot me down in my FW? I was chasing a Lagg after blasting another one, and I saw tracers fly over my shoulder. I checked and saw no VVS planes, just a friendly, so i went back to chasing. Then I get blasted outta the air, and I start raising hell wondering who was shooting me! Then someone sheepisly says...."oops, that was me. sorry....". I was gonna kick somebody's ass when I got back to base, but I got captured and was put to workin a male brothel catering to nightwitches.........except for the hairy armpits, it wasnt too bad and I forgot about it.....till now. Well last night, I and another 109 (Pooka, I think) were chasing that indestructable bullet absorbing Rata. he was gyrating so violently that I could only make snap shots and hope I hit him. So once when I saw pieces fly past my windscreen, i thought I was hitting him (really close). So when a plane appeared in front of me, I just hosed that sucker down with my two 7.92mm mgs, and I kept hosing him down. Feathers flew all over the place, and I was feeling rather proud of myself....... Until I heard someone say..."who the hell is shooting me?", and I realized that it was a 109 in front of me. I said "oops, that was me. sorry....." I hoped that the 109 made it back, till I saw the message that said "Pooka is blasted outta the air by Enforcer". Ouch. This is the most fun I have that doesnt involve chicks.

I know I took some screenies of that He as it made that run tonightand rammed that cargo ship, but for some reason about half the ones I take dont save or show up. Pisses me off cause they were great shots. Anyway, I took some more of the treachery of Von Tonar (Im pretty sure it was him) when I was fighting those corsairs in my faithful Tony, as Lt. Itchy Snatchie, JAAF. There I was in a fight with VT, unable to come within effective range or get a shot at his gyrating machine, when to my horror, He goes after my comrades on the ground that have....."landed", more or less. And there was poor Quaz, having had a bit of, um, trouble on landing. Something to do with a control tower getting in the way or such. But anyway, here he was looking like he was conducting a course in Japanese aircraft construction techniques, when he discovers why the Corsair was called whistling death. My Tony was very fast (as some Seafires found out later), but I couldnt catch this round eyed western devil (barely visible under my left wing, hugging the ground). He went after Quaz like he was a wet rat waiting to be stomped. His 4 20mm had much greater range and hitting power than my tiger tank killing four 50s. He and Dazza thought it was miller sakai time, but ....... Then, he goes vertical on me after making Quazi and machine into buzzard poop and scrap, but i couldnt match the performance of this demonic product of the evil Vought corporation, so he makes another pass on Dazza, who is sitting there with his nav lights on saying "kill me! kill me! Im over here damn it!". I was boiling my engine but was helpless against this evil evil westerner. Then He goes vertical on me again, this time we both made it to our max apogee, but his was slightly higer than mine. He went out of control, falling out of the air in a flat spin. I watched gleefully as I waited for him to dig a hole, but he regained control and kept straffing our base. :evil: He got away with this outrage, but i got revenge on the Allies later leading my flight of drones against FAA Seafires, and helping to wipe out an entire squadron of them. At any rate, we sure have a blast doing this shit. I just wish to god we had this stuff when I was a kid.

Heh, heh. Id still rather have a 1928 Thompson. Id be afraid Id poke my eye out with that mag. The hats made up for it though. Did they carry webleys also? Those things are so clunky, but they worked. I guess they carried about anything they could shoot. They made the SMLE Enfield .303 rifle (WW1 version) rather than the Mk4 that replaced it. I had an Aussie version once, in mint unissued condition, made in 1941-how it never got issued in that time period, i have no idea. I think they built Brens to. I like the owen parade float-sounds like something I'd come up with. How about the parade float for the topless chicks on the beach? I'd have thought that one up to. They would of course have to apply to me for inclusion, and Id have to do some appropriate photography to help me pick the participants. You can keep those damn crocs, sharks, and big ass spiders though. I kinda like the roos and quawala bears though. firing an smg though is best accomplished via aiming over the barrel and putting the muzzle at the feet of the target, which puts it about chest hieght. That blasted mag getting in the way would drive me nuts. But the guys that used it liked it, so.......

God I wish. Ive seen Robert taylors books like that to, all 3 of em. Damn that's just too much money. if i could afford that, id being buying the damn paintings.

Spray and Pray, yup makes sense. You guys ever see an Owen SMG? WW2 issue, it looks like a Sten, kinda, but instead of the magazine being on the side in sensible fashion, it was placed....on top. Yup, on top, a 32 rd mad of 9mm standing up like a rectangular erection. You 'bout had to spray and pray, since the little sight beside the mag well was useless. I guess when you got about 400 guys with enfields and Lewis MGs spraying and praying, it can add up. this is what happens in a country where the beer cans are the size of everyone elses oil cans. They had the best hats by far though. Still do.

All i get on that link is a fanciful Red barron text. I think they may have disconected it or some such. They always have that love theme crap screwing up every movie....its like some kinda addiction to trying to please chicks. No chick is gonna get into this movie, I dont care how much kissie poo crap they have in it. anyway, It's gonna be an eternal mystery, since there is no way to do ballistics tests to the single .303 bullet that killed him. He actually managed to land the plane intact and nosed over gently. The photos of the plane after that show that it was stripped by souvenir grabbers (cant really blame them). one lousy bullet, no real AC damage, odd angle that couldve come from anywhere. I think his number was up, and his luck just ran out. And its also sad that the silver goblets he used to indicate his kills (that became thimbles due to silver shortage) were lost to the Soviet army in 1945 when the red army overan the family property. There is probably one or two somewhere in Rus. that hasnt been melted down. Be cool if someone found one on a street market in Riga or somewhere. STill you gotta wonder where it wound up at. Manfred was a fascinating guy.

:!: Great shots. What's the story on the Spit in French markings? Is it a Mk9 in post war livery? And what models are the Griffin engine spits? I cant keep up with them after the mk14. And that is a great shot of the kid and the Hurri. He's gonna want copies of that when he's older. Priceless shot. God I'd love to go there someday.

In the words of Friend's character Chandler (Mathew Perry), could you MAKE that pic any smaller? I realize I may not be as young as you whippersnappers from the great white north, but damn, I can't even tell what class that destroyer is. Can I be the gunnery officer? Are there chicks in bikinis running around? (or out of them, which is actually better). Do you keep diet coke on hand (I'm a diabetic). Well I was gonna ask about the chicks again, but I already did that. :idea: Oh yeah, 2 things I gotta add. You need 2 things on that boat at all times: A shotgun to ward off pirate types (or an AR-15), and a camera in case the afore mentioned chicks show up. BTW, I'm an experienced photographer, and I work cheap. :!:

Kinda makes ya wonder what the point is in developing a new sim engine for BoB.... ok, I know, because they can and you can only upgrade something so much, a la B-52s. But damn, that reminds me of the Gillows WW1 planes-all those ribs and stringers. They'll probably have barf bags and virtual castor oil that gives you the virtual runs. I hope someday 1C lets loose on the coding for that stuff a bit. I can only imagine what some guys could come up with, especially the artisans that are being wasted on CFS.

Man you guys need to drop by the hellhounds on sat if you are that short.....we also have a shortage of folks who dont have lives to, er, uh, I mean aren't too busy chasing nasty ol chicks, partying, etc. I mean, it IS the summer y'know. I mean our best pilot was Emann, who is 16, and one night he suddenly realized what he was doing on sat night and said "WTF am I doing with all these old dudes when there is all this hot A running around out here trying to outdo each other's exhibitionist tendancies? I'm outta here!" He disapeared. As I would have. So, if youse guys are down to just a handful, you oughta come by the HHers. Im sure the Hounds feel the same way. Hunting down AI just isn't the same as hunting down people. (sounds like something Charlie Manson would say, but it's true). We should have enough by then to do sumthin. Our CO is easy to please. I expect us to have LOTS of canadians there. I started to say it sure beats hell outta digging holes, but it probably doesn't beat paying peasants to dig them for you. He who has all the gold, digs all the holes....or sumthin like that.

I posted this on the ubi zoo to stimulate the less fortunate. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums?a=tpc& ... 1571005374 I've seen similiar stuff on actual film from CV ops, but this is the most amazing CV landing Ive ever seen.

Hmmmmm.....you could sure hide alot of bodies in those things. I think somebody should call Fox mulder and Skully on this guy. :idea: You dont need anyone rubbed out do ya? I work real cheap. And are there any fish in those things?

yeah, and your AC loss rate will be mostly to landing and take-off accidents. Better fly that practice take off misn a few times. I wound up having to come in frm the south most of the time since i overan the runway on so many occaisns.....at least that way i didnt kiss any trees. And when you fly castaways, you will be entertained, i promis. Castaways is the best of the many cmpns ive flown.
