Not a movie or TV show, but a tube video on the Amelia Earhart journey.
Very detailed and very well done.
The detail make the whole thing more terrifying I think. Well worth watching.

Yah nothing has changed the bombardment missions are easy, though getting away later can be a bit tricky since patrols seem to be on alert..

Space hippies...aka The Way to Eden
Once is enough. This Jag campaign gets worse every day.

So Jaguar got out of making cars and into modern art?

Hello!
Is it possible model the famous landmarks,etc. Le Morte Homme or Kemmel Hill.
Le Morte Homme about 280m height.

Also possibility get more detailed in-flight map.Little villages and woods,claim report could be more precise!

I don't believe there are any significant revisions in the past handful of patches that would break the mod - as such, fine to use.

What about "The Price is Right?"

So, since we're up to OTT v1.11 and OTT Stock Populated Airfields v1.2 was made to work with OTT v1.05, does that mean it won't work correctly on anything after v1.05?

Finally found a good .45 that isn't the UDP Compact. It's called Dead Eye, but sadly it isn't any better than Skif's pistol, which is pretty good already. I don't think the guns themselves are spoilers, but where or how you get them is


It's heavier than Skif's but also has 15 round magazine. Just three upgrades, though one is armor-piercing. Neither pistol suppressor I have fits it. The Rhino revolver is really strong to carry as a side arm, but this ain't RDR dammit. No revolvers for me. But the stats are close to the best shotguns so a good choice if you dig this sort of weapon and would be great for a player who wants to carry long arms other than shotguns I reckon. Maybe you have a speedloader too. I should try it and see how effective it is, how well it shoots, how quickly it loads. Fires 9x39

Also got a good 5.56 rifle which I'll put in spoilers altogether

you have no idea of how many hours I spent/wasted at the student union at university playing Defender ...

Thanks Pol...

Super stuff mate!

If that concept car design is indeed accurate then I foresee a commercial FLOP.

Some cracking shots there Gecko, good job!

From the latest patch to the Over the Top expansion.

Make sure you try out some sunrise and sunset flights with the new patch!

Sounds interesting gecko, sizes rather than caching ?

And yet nothing ever came of this and was quickly forgotten about and we have yet to see any little green men or whatever actually land and confirm their existence to us.

Next.

Did they get rid of the search function for inputs?

Well, he did confirm this under oath:

Everything around us is moving at night. On the nearby rail line, trains roll without interruption. Artillery is rolling along the road, and Infantry. Columns, endless columns. Here a soldier’s song rises to the sky and dies away in the distance. There, a band strikes up to encourage the men to keep going, and over there one hears drums and pipes, and the fundamental sound behind everything is the rustling, stomping and trampling of countless boots.

This happens at night. Only at night. Nothing must be given away to the enemy. A lamp flashes, “Lichter aus! Lichter aus!”

Night after night Scheinwerfern* pierce the darkness and Sprengpunkten* flash at the englische reconnaissance planes.

Parachute flares descend from the black sky and illuminate the streets in a wide area. Then all traffic stops and the troops hide in the shelter of outhouses and trees. We cannot reveal anything.


* Scheinwerfern – Headlights/searchlights

*Sprengpunkten – (Flak/Archie) detonation points.





ENDE

CAPTION: Flight Commander Leonard William Ormerod DSC and Flight Sub-Lieutenant William Lawrence Hill Pattison (in DH4 A7908) failed to return from the mission and were likely shot down by Leunant Josef Mai, from Jasta 5 for his 9th victory.
Pictured here is Ormerod’s DH4 skin and Josef Mai’s Albatros DVa, both from the WOFF skin pack.
With the present aircraft assignments, Mai’s DVa is never flown because the DVa is only allocated ed to some of the default wingmen and Richard Flashar.
What this means is that if you FLY WITH Jasta 5, you will never see this DVa flown, unless you fly it yourself. However, it is possible, if you FLY AGAINST Jasta 5 or with another Jasta, you might see the aces of Staffel 5 flying the DVa. In Campaign, the aircraft assignments for these two cases is different.
Just onea them thangs.




I go out with a group from both Staffeln this evening to find Heins’ DH4. The village is quite close to the Front and mostly rubble.

The large bomber aircraft is now a pile of scrap in a meadow near the rubble of the village. The Feldgrau nearby tell us that they found the observer dead some distance from the wreck. The pilot is crushed by the Motor. The red, white and blue cockades shine out of the fresh green meadow.

Amsel is at my elbow, humming and mumbling a doggerel song:

Jeßt trinkt er keinen Kognak mehr
Und sein Herz ist kalt und Ieer.
Ach was fiel denn deisem Menschen ein,
Daß er stieg in eien Flugmaxchine ‘rein!”

(He doesn't drink cognac anymore
And his heart is cold and empty.
Oh, what did this person think of,
That he got into a plane!”)


Not far away on the unplowed ground, the first spring flowers are blooming, violets, some white and half white ones among them. It’s Spring!

The englische Bombengeschwadern have become very bold. A daylight Bombenfilm* was carried out on the Flugplatz und Munitionslagern at Busigny.

Fifty-Six was able to catch the formation of DeHavilland Dopplesitzern on the way back. A geschwader from the Flasharstaffel also attacked them.

Rudi Heins brought one of these down near Villeret at 1130 Uhr Morgens for his 2nd Luftsieg.

Another Bombenkähn was seen to go down under the guns of a Jasta 5 Maschine.

There was little activity for our second Patrouillenflüg.

* Bombenfilm – literal translation bombing film. It means bombing mission, like saying bombing ‘show’ in English.
* Munitionslager – ammunition dump/depot
* Bombenkähne – Bombing barges.



NOTE: No. 5 Squadron RNAS first dropped 101 25-lb bombs on Etreux Aerodrome. One hangar was hit and a Gotha which attempted to get off the ground was seen to crash. Other aircraft from this squadron also dropped 28 25-lb bombs on Busigny Aerodrome and 65 25-lb bombs on Busigny Ammunition Dump.
On their way back from Busigny, the Squadron was attacked by 12 enemy aircraft from Jastas 5 and 56. Flight Lieutenant T Watkins and Squadron Commander Stanley James Goble, and Flight Lieutenant Euan Dickson DSC and Sub Lieutenant Walter Henry Scott both claimed to have shot down enemy Albatrosses. Dickson and Scott had both guns jam and then they ran out of ammunition. They were badly shot up with bullets entering the petrol tanks, the fuselage, planes and tail. Dickson received a bar to his DSC for the combat.
Two DH4s were lost to the Deutsche Jagdfliegern.

CAPTION: Flight Sub-Lieutenant George Musgrove Cartmell and Gun Layer R B Wilcox, of RNAS-5, in DH4 N6005 were forced down by Leutnant Rudolph Heins from Jasta 56. Both were wounded in the crash. Wilcox returned to action soon after. Some reports suggest Wilcox later died of his wounds

When one of the handlers transferred to become a Funker, he took Bruno with him, and so here he is.

The Kamandant at the Funkerschule decided to get a little notoriety by awarding Bruno a medal. So Bruno got his picture in the Army Newspaper. Where he once carried a message tube on his collar, he now wears die Eisernes Kreuze

Bruno gets around very well on his three legs, except that he seems a bit uncertain when he needs to hike a leg. He’s a very dignified and well behaved sort.

Elsie is in love with him and must see him whenever she’s out. She’s neither dignified nor so well behaved. I think perhaps there will be some puppies in der Häuptling’s future.

It may prove difficult for Bruno to accomplish that mission, but he’s a good German dog and I have every confidence in him that he’ll manage to carry out his duty.


NOTE: Germany is estimated to have used a total of 30,000 dogs during the war, mainly as messengers and ambulance dogs. Of those, 7,000 were killed.


Nachtbombenfilmen are being carried out nightly. It was mostly rest billets that were hit last night.

Along with the wireless, there is another Neu Mann for the ‘gelbe Schnauzen’ (yellow snouts).* Leutnant der Reserve Hermann Manger, a Silecian from Münsterberg, has come from Jastaschule I at Valenciennes.

Air activity at the Front was brisk from 11 to 12 Uhr Mittags. Several squadrons attempted reconnaissance into Deutchland but were turned back.

We saw a number of Luftkampfs from a distance, but did not become involved in any ourselves.


* Nachtbombenfilm – night bombing film, night bombing mission, like saying night bombing ‘show’ in English.

*If Jasta 56 has a nickname of this sort, it is not recorded. I have decided that I will call them the Yellow Snouts. Why? CAUSE I KIN!
