And the next one: A bridge, an old one: Ships
FoolTrottel replied to FoolTrottel's topic in Modellers
Well, they said it was a test, but I found it to be a crazy test. Just like the people that tried to interviewed me there, and concluded I wás crazy. In retrospect, I think my mom was crazy even having me tested. Come to think of it, you're all crazy too! I am the only sane one. I'm sure! -
And the next one: A bridge, an old one: Ships
FoolTrottel replied to FoolTrottel's topic in Modellers
So, I need to create nice small ships first. Basic material is bamboo, cheap skewers. The same I used on the rail bridge, and I got plenty of them left. Need to split each skewer in half, length wise, as they are too thick to bend, and I need like 6 halves for one ship, three on each side. As you can tell from the picture, not all ships are the same, so I do not need to be that precise. That's nice. Though knowing me myself and I, seeing what my OCD is like (Mind you, I am crazy - as my mother never ever had me tested for that ) I will end up with nine very rather similar ships. That is, if I live that long. Anyhow, you can see one of them is ready, the next one is being built... so, yeah, I am all good. And shift. -
This will be a challenge. First part is fixed to the quay (quay not visible here), then there's a part that can be lifted, next a fixed element, next a three-ship element that can be ferried out. Some six ships on a flexible part, where the ships rise and fall with the river's water level. On the far side, all fixed stuff.

Dennis took a wrong turn, really, you know, shift and all! And next, I decided the color of the lifting booms was all off...they should not be like Red ... An there's a willow in the background, created from scratch ...

Cool! So it can go do "BANG!" like 60 times! -

lol... brilliant! Thanks!! (Must add: the ferry in the video is the later model, the one I am creating was operational until 1982... I think it would've been too small to host a live band, ánd move people and vehicles back and forth )

Il-2 1946 Cup Jet Age Module Simpit
FoolTrottel replied to OverDhill's topic in IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946
Immersion? Don't forget to add: * That really big fan pointing at your face that starts running when you open your cockpit, and make sure to use that UPD thingie so its speed is directly related to your airspeed! * Some of the rags you were using when you last gave your car an oil change ... hang 'm close to your nostrils. Or maybe hang 'm over the fan? -

FoolTrottel replied to OverDhill's topic in IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946
Won't be helping you out, as this stuff is so obviously a cheat Can't be collaborating with that! For BoB campaigns in 1946, apart from the a/c you already got done, you maybe find yourself in a Me-110C1, C7, D3, E1 or F2? -
Brando? BRANDO!!! That would be mighty fine ... you back 'round here, and with us vairborn! (eh, lemme splain' : Virtually Airborne is what I on about)

Me thinks he re-worked it and/or converted it for HSFX, or no, wait for Clod maybe? Lol... can't remember!

Nine Lives is good. Not sure how it will work with HSFX, as it was built for UP2/3 ... http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=545 Here's a comment from someone in 2015, so ... if you edit it a bit, it might work! So far goodThis campaign is well worthy. I´ve experienced some issues with two or three missions but just went to FMB and removed some parked planes in hangars saved and close it. Then it worked fine. You will fly all kind of aerial engagements, always outnumbered and with good immersion. Even a mission searching for a german flying boat like the ones that often scout the channel for german pilots - as so many of them were forced to ditch or bail over the sea. Not outstanding but good. I recommend it

Them aircraft look like they are kinda great fun to fly 'm...
