Ive tried that manuveur with no success either. The closest I can get its basically a controlled spin that flicks the plane 180 degrees within its own length.

Maybe its not possible with the current FM, perhaps Voss did something different? On the whole though Im chuffed to bits with the FM.

I've seen it as a different number. Maybe I should change it.

I love Kempf's Dr.1, so please would you recheck your fonts MM.

Yeah the DR.1 is supposed to be easier to sideslip to the left than to the right due to the torque of the engine, but the documentary Dogfights shows it as a right hand turn, and in the game its easier to sideslip to the right, either the P-factor value for the DR.1 is reversed for some reason (Maybe to not make the DR.1 too good a fighter.) or something else is not how its supposed to be.

I managed to do the maneuver somewhat correctly, but to the right, and using the engine blip to stabilize whenever it rolled in either direction, but it went very slow, and at the end of the turn my nose was pointing down, if I was to do that maneuver to counter a diving attack, whether it be against humans or AI in-game, I`d probably find myself shot to mincemeat before I`m even half way

Either way, if RoF really does portray the DR.1 as real as it can get in a sim, I find it stunning and incredible that Voss was not blasted to pieces when doing a slow 6 second turn when not 1 but 5 S.E.5a`s dived and fired upon him, and all of them experienced British aces at that.


Nice Kempf skin musicman! Keep it up

Good stuff MM!

Not being a Bavarian speaker, I googled "Kennscht mi noch" to get the (very disappointing) low down.

I much prefer this version, as posted by some wag on another forum.

"Ironically, "Kennscht mi noch?" also has a Klingon translation. It is loosely eqivalent to: "Will you marry me without a significant physical struggle?"

*Apologies to the Kempf Estate*

Someone has posted this pic on here somewhere.
What fonts are we speaking of? You mean the top wing? I see it is different.

I'm moveing this plane and post over the ROF skins section.

I do not know what Klingonian has to do with it (other then giving a wrong meaning) but being a born Suebian (Southern Germany) I definitely can confirm that "Kennscht mi noch?" is not Bavarian (South Eastern Germany) but the German dialect from either Schwaben (Suebia) or Baden (South Western Germany) the neighbouring region of Suebia. As I know that Kempf is born in the town of Freiburg in the region Baden it must be the dialect from Baden which in this case is written the same way as in Suebian but is pronounced a little bit differently.

"Kennscht mi noch?" means "Do you still know me?" and could be regarded as a tongue-in-cheek provocation to enemy pilots. In reality it came from Fritz Kempf's habit to ask people he met after some time again "Kennscht mi noch?". I would translate it very loosely to the habit of greeting people with the word "Howdy".

See? It wasn't that difficult


Cheers

Hehehe, thanks for the info Gremlin! (great website BTW ) No, you were not being a smartarse mate, I was being a Dumbkopf and you corrected me in an assertive manner....Nothing wrong with that! Learn something new everyday

PS Gremlin, the last time I was in Germany was at an 'Oktoberfest'....I got so plastered (with a bunch of Germans and my mates) that I could barely remember my own name, never mind any German language lol.

Had a great time though, and a good laugh. You lads truly are the Sausage and Ale Meisters of the known World. HAIL THE MIGHTY BRATWURST, AND BECKS BIER!!!

Lol!

If you visited the Oktoberfest then you already know the greatest Bavarian tradition so to speak. I do hope you got plastered with genuine Bavarian beer and not with Becks

Great Stuff Fox!


And here's a tribute to your skin, a little "Voss" in action...
