confound it, Biff Hahvud knows darn-tootin' well that he told that peon recruiter that he was a 'veteran,' not a 'rookie.' When Daddy hears of this, someone's going to be losing their housestaff...

I know, right! You'd think our social status would rate at least a sergeant-ship! Nice paint scheme, by the way!

I suppose so too, but I think it will be Phineas Smith. Its not an outrageous name but it has a place in American History on the East Coast.

Hi all, new recruit here. This sounds like a lot of fun and would love to give it a go.
I only recently picked up WOFF and can't believe how immersive it is. I still have to get
ver 2 and 3, (and I absolutely will), but it will be a min since I don't have a silver spoon in my wallet,
and a female commandant standing in my way. So, can a new pilot participate with ver 1?

Yes, that should be fine, we're in the middle of the war, so the plane set should be pretty good even in the base game. Welcome aboard, sir!

rtoolooze: Welcome to the meatgrinder. You will luv these tasks by Mr. Rawlings. I have been killed off in these things by all manner of things, Fences, trees, ground fire ( ours and theirs) , Mid-airs, the ground. Watching your fellow flyers get thiers in different ways are a great amount of fun. Thanks to Mr Raqwlings.

If RL allows me the time I will certainly participate in this latest challenge. l'escadrille Américaine is one of my most favorite outfits to fly with.

Rick, that's one really cool skin. I'm still trying to figure out how you made it look like a comic book.

Well - as a Canadian, I'll just have to... join this challenge biggrin

Do sign me up - timing couldn't be better since I get my TrackIR next week. Maybe it'll help me survive 5 instead of only 3 missions!

Welcome aboard CCIP!


Thanks, Banjoman! I did basically the same thing I used for the into movie and poster. I got a drawing tablet for my birthday and used an open source drawing program called Krita. The two are surprisingly flexible:




For the skin, I wanted to make sure everything lined up, so I traced over the regular Nieuport skin to get an outline:

Then I just added in the color:

I think the SPAD looks even better...I hope I live long enough to use it!

Haha, you are a creative soul, Rick - I had no idea that you did the comic pics yourself!
And then you extended the idea on to the skin and pilot "photo" - great approach!
