Kinda Quiet...

Didn't we used to do Rick Rawlings Challenges? Well, I can say that the new one continues apace... but for reasons both esoteric and just teric, the going is slow. I am working on it however:

I guess the good news is that this is the last one I will be making a full intro for, I have successfully scratched that itch, it seems, so subsequent challenges should appear at more regular intervals. Perhaps even...*gasp* two per year!

Carry on...


Edit: I also don't know how to use the new image tools, obviously...

Sweeeet! Now that winter is arriving I need an excuse to do some flying!

Rick check Raines explenation on how to implementate the image in the text at http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4123731/312/did-centenary-challenge

It is kind of weird on how to post images on Simhq,

That is an improvement by simhq way . Quite intuitive, is not it?

Thanks, dutch!

yippy...I'd like a new challenge too.

yayyy! Not only a new Rick_Rawlings challenge, but new textures and shaders, too, by the looks of it...! And a new prototype model Be_2...H? or is that an RE-8Q? It looks like the obs. is in the back.

The upper plane is in the way to properly distinguish the pilot and Obs, but it is quickly getting close to that time of year that one might expect to see Snoopy in the cockpit aye what?

It's my (bad) attempt at a "Harry Tate", and 80 men tried and 80 men died and they are buried together in the countryside...because their RE 8s got them killed!

Another Rawlings Challenge, Another one of my Pilots to be lost.. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Lets do it.

What is a Rawlings Challenge? I'm confused.

Basically, U fly a in a unit, Missions, from an AF, under conditions that some one else has chosen. I have never made thru any of Mr. Rawlings challenges,but always had a lot of fun. The challenges also gave me a lot experience in cashing and burning including running into a few Trees.

They are basically like the above-the-line challenges, DiD and DiD Centennial, just more limited in scope and duration...

Here's some light reading...
Eindecker Challenge Yes, this was a thing...
Revenge of Der Flieger
Bloody April
SPAD Challenge
Circus Challenge Where we all learned to skin...
Brisfit Challenge
Final Challenge *cough*
Anniversary Challenge
Albatros Dos
Sopwith Challenge

And to add to Carricks comments, "a fun time" !

They're great fun and an honor sytem free for all....but a great opportunity to measure yourself against friends (here) and foe (here). Love to see another one Rick......they were marvellous. My prize....second place, years ago, was a skin which I still fly today. Thx

I can testify that these are a lot of fun. I'm still using the skin that Lou designed for me after winning the Albatros Dos challenge.

I'm ready to join

Don’t start without me! I need some time to get back from my vacation. Rick, are we flying Harry’s? This is going to be a slaughter!

AHHHHHHRRRRGGGGGHHHH! Um, it's still a bit off. I had a brief bout of Silent Hunter 5 that I am in the middle of recuperating from... *cough* and no, it's not Re8s, communism was just a red herring!

*edit: I'm sure it will show up just in time to screw up Robert's hunting season...

Howdy, been awhile....

Game crashed one day, and I explored the CFS3 underneath and became caught up in WWII....and building balsa tissue rubber powered airplanes...and just living life.
Think I might uninstall and reinstall WOFF, but probably not compete with you folks...if I'm up and running I'll ghost play, and probably die quickly from lack of practice/familiarity with the sim..

Just dropped in to say hello, rumors of my demise were exaggerated, somewhat...lol

OMG, MudWasp! It has been a long while! Forget this CFS3 nonsense and get your butt into a proper biplane and start practicing!

Hallo, Mudwasp! Please don't be a stranger.

No, no, Mudwasp - Get WOFF UE, you shan't be disappointed! Really great to see you around.

My father-in-law likes to build the balsa and tissue planes as well. I've never even tried that! Good on ya!

Mud wasp

Good to hear from you. If money is not an issue for you, invest in WOFF UE. You won't be disappointed. It is miles ahead of the previous release and there are tons of new mods for it here.

Best Regards
