Pfalz is still really good!

Hotlead, I wish I had not have landed. I had no idea you were there until I looked up from the ground. Next time I'll cover your 6!

S! Thank you and congrats everyone.

Congrats you two! S!

Hey Fellas S!, Well I made a post on Toms hardware but I would like more input on the matter. Ever sense I upgraded my SSD (Cloned). I have noticed my internet dropping out more. I think this is just a coincidence though. My internet doesn't drop all the way out, just low enough that programs will disconnect. I even watched my modem which my PC is directly connected to and I see no change of the green lights. Also my PC never shows that it's disconnected from the network, maybe do to how fast the network reconnects. Either way this is killing my ability to play game like Rise of Flight. If I'm on Teamspeak the connection gets choppy and most people can't understand me. The connection drops and reconnects anywhere from 5 - 40 seconds. Rise of Flight I normally don't even get a warning, just dropped from the server. Last night I was dropped twice with in 30 minutes of the start of the game. It probably doesn't help I was connecting to Europe (J99). However when I play Day Z, a game on Steam. If I play on servers with low pings (40-130s) I may loose connection on TS but still remain in game with Day Z. Sometimes I'll drop out or warp. Today I played Day Z for about 2 hours and no drop from the game, just a few drops from TS. I also tested my router to ensure it is not just the PC. I setup my laptop with TS using my router and my PC also ran TS. The Laptop would always drop a few seconds before the PC. These signs all tell me it must be caused from the providers end. Anyone have any other ideas? I had the provider send out a fella two days ago and all he did was check cable connection (PC-modem-wall), modem, and use [cmd], "ping ip -t". Which was only testing with 32kbps. I don't think this test is ideal, it tests the connection with only 32kbps how would it notice the other 94mbps dropping off.

You think TS has been making you drop connection?

Good eye Vonrd, I never noticed those scratched up crosses. You think I would have when I was painting around the rudder one. I fixed it up and think they look a lot smoother now. I hear you about the paints. I just get a little annoyed not knowing if that is Paul Baumer's Albatross or if Kempf actually flew it. I would like to do historical paints, but most skin have no real facts to claim to them.

S! All, I put a lot of paints up yesterday. Some are for Kartoffel, one for Archer, and a few for myself. Let me know what you guys think. http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46778-fictional-n17b-skin-jg1-kempf/ http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46777-fictional-n17b-skin-jg1-kartoffel/ http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46776-fictional-fokker-eiii-skin-jg1-kartoffel/ http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46780-fictional-n11-skin-jg1-kempf/ http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46775-fictional-n11-skin-jg1-kartoffel/ Archer was talking about an all black D7f like this. I never heard back from him so I'm posting it anyways. http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46774-fictional-fokker-dviif-skin-jg1-archer/ Kartoffel mentioned an all black plane the other day. So two birds with one stone! http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46773-fictional-fokker-dviif-skin-jg1-kartoffel/ I was going with the old DOS red baron paint scheme here. http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46770-fictional-n17-skin-jg1-kartoffel/ Is the dragon emblem to shiny? Let me know asap so I can fix it. http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46771-fictional-albatross-dva-skin-jg1-kartoffel/ Removed the band around the edelweiss. Kept the extra black trim as well. http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46772-fictional-albatross-dva-skin-jg1-kempf-version-2/ All feedback welcome, I did do all those in one night. So if you guys see an error I missed please let me know. I already had to fix number trim on the pair of N17B.

Wow! Such a wonderful airplane. Really makes me wanna get a pilot's license.

Well when I am about to go to the range and listen to the A-10 Warthogs brrrrrt all over a mountain. I like to get pumped up with a little bit of this...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owb4HkbpgX0

My PC is a 64 bit operating system and have had no problem with the DDS converter. However, I am using the DDS converter provided by NVIDIA. I can speak for NVIDIA, just google Photoshop DDS converter for NVIDIA and the top link will be it. Before you get to into the world of photoshop understand your tools. Play with them and go to Youtube, they have a video on all the tools and their uses. http://www.photoshoplab.com/photoshop-tool-basics.html When you feel comfortable with, layers, and working between them with the tools in the toolbar then look at the video I posted. Just pause it step by step at first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OmIn1Y49qQ

Thank you Sir!

One of these days I'll go to England and play tourist.

This reminds me of the Addison airfield in Texas! Very nice photos.

Nope never played it. I have a few games of the build and survive type games. I however am so fed up with all the alpha money grabs. I like Day Z the most, even though they are not perfect either. A few friends in my steam group have talked about it, but that's about it.

Well I posted them on the RoF forum, let me know what you guys think. Too purple? Too dark on the other? http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46608-fictional-n17-skin-jg1-kempf-version-2/ http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46607-fictional-n17-skin-jg1-kempf/

Ah never mind, I see that no one has been able to repaint those struts.

I am recreating the fake Jean Navarre N17 from Red Baron 3d, and everything was perfect until I went to get the in game pictures. The struts holding the windscreen as still white/silver even though I painted the actual pieces Looking through the PSD file I am not seeing anything that has cockpit pieces. Anyone have any ideas?

Nice fighting Sir!

This will be worth watching! Thanks for the link.

Warthunder or Ragethunder... I have spent many an hour in that game. The airplanes fly like shoes and the Russians will always keep their tech tree packed with the best planes. The Russian version of anything is the best in WT. So the American P40 is worse then the Russian because of the holy Stalin wood. Don't get me started on the bullsh#t bomb loads of the bombers! Now the tanks, boy where to start. Some people give WoT crap because it's an arcade game, and it is which is why I stopped playing it after a while. However atleast they stayed true to what they advertised. I respect WoT for that and in someways would rather play that game again before even looking at the unpleasant arcade game of WT. The over bias Russian devs made sure that anything anyone wields can be stopped by their tanks. I played the tanks in WT when they were first released. With in about 4 days I had reached tier IV German tanks. This was all when Realistic battles were popular in the community. This was the best game play for a tank enthusiast like myself. I hate Hubs, and I hate hit markers. I was a tanker for 8 years and I wanna feel at home. The first big problem I have is the Russians believe on their tests during WWII. They keep falling on data from the USSR and only the USSR. Numerous posts and battles in the forum were fought to have them see reason. We provided testing of Armor and ballistics from Germany, US, and UK. which those three nations all had pretty similar results. IE the Tiger's 88L56 and it's penetration. The one thing the Russians never can accept is that their metal ore is not as strong as the three I mentioned before. So 4 inches of German steel is naturally better then 4 inches of test steal the Russians used to test to penetrate the Tiger's frontal hull. So from the very start the Dev's hunted down the German armor. Heck the JadgTiger for the longest time was 1 shot able in the front hull by shooting the toe hooks. Which brings me to the final bullet of WT, everytime the "fix" one thing the break 5 others. Their code is too long for them to keep up and after the fired their international Devs, sold themselves to the money and not the promise of staying historically accurate. Closed beta it had so much potential! The tanks still are plagued with issues and they don't say anything about this in the patch notes. The Tiger II "105" for example has had a broken lot of pzrgt 40 and 39 for the longest time. If you grind that tank those round will not explode! They broke one of the top German tanks almost a year ago and just like the FW 190 D 12, won't fix it. I can keep going tank by tank, but mostly the community has watered down the game. Too many want quick arcade games instead of the realistic game mode. Using a stadia reticle is too hard for most people, and sky lining a tank is suicide in the tanker world. So again, I'd rather play WoT if you want a good tank game. At least they are not full of broken codes and false promises. Just my two cents.

His plane is alive, could use some feedback fellas! http://riseofflight.com/forum/topic/46545-fictional-fokker-dri-skin-jg1-zerfass/

Work in progress.

What this your idea?
