Nice combination of report and screen caps Duke!

Thank you sir. And our stars must be in alignment.
Since people come to the Screenshot thread to see screenshots (weird I know!) I have decided to move my chatty combo of career progress/mission report with pics posts to the "Reports from the Front" thread.
Seemed more appropriate I think.

Home again safely!

You have an arrester cable at the hanger entrance?

Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

The higher-ups decide that now that Lt. DIH is a 10 victory ace they award him with a personal plane for recognition of his service to King and Country.
He tries to tell them he is really American but the brass just poo poo's that.
No contact patrol (another cloudy day of course) so no flaming enemy aircraft for the "Reports from the Front" thread.

Thank you sir for the time and effort for the beautiful job!
Hopefully next flight you can see it in combat action.

AnKor's Horizonline-Mod included

After a protracted fight more against the wind than my enemy, I was down to about 2/3 of a Lewis drum when I saw some Archie puffs low down on my way back home. I flew over and saw one of the Halberstadts that we had attacked earlier break off from a couple of our guys and make a run for it. After carefully peppering him with my remaining rounds to no great effect, I decided to practice my formation flying as I escorted him back across the lines...

Duke, Creaghor and Rick, very nice screenies folks. Can't wait for Ankor's release of the horizon

Duke: what does the Latin motto on your cockpit say? (I get the bit about 'mortis'.)

I threw it in a Latin translator and I got "Death is here."
I like it!

Me too!

Yep, that's what it means. It's a play on DIH.

Ach! *Slaps self in head*

I was trying to figure out what you meant!
That saying is even more awesome now then it was 60 seconds ago!
You are very clever sir and thanks again for the skin.
Just got back from a DOP 17 KM in Hunland but saw nothing. Maybe the Jastas have heard and are scared too.

I also introduced your "ACE's 1" mod into my existing 56 Squadron campaign - making a back up first - so we will see how it does with an existing campaign. The squadron now lists 12 pilots in the Ready Room so I will give it some time and maybe restart if we don't get back up to strength.

Terrible weather to fight and die in...

Al and Phil



Foggy morning patrol

Phil looks pretty happy despite standing there in a 70 MPH sub-zero gale.
Must be still relishing his Fokker kill.

Wow, they have yellow goggles, and they look very realistically human!

Yes. It was a OldHat video where I really saw the observer (and Phil) in action for the first time.
OBD did their usual great job on that part also.
