Depending on what you need, the Fredde looks like it's probably a good choice. If you have an Ikea near you, you should check it out in person though. Sometimes, Ikea furniture is deceptively small.

Happy New Year guys!

Very excited that it's been officially released! Now I don't need two versions anymore.

Great flying Barton!

Glad to hear that you're on the mend! Get well soon Shnoze!

Hi Wulf, Sorry for the delayed response! As Vonrd mentioned, my availability is a bit shaky right now. I'll drop you an email today. Looking forward to talking with you!

Merry Christmas guys!

I like the K! It looks nice, but also has the feel of something that someone painted on using freehand or stencil. Which is a good thing.

Wow, great landing Hotlead! That really is catastrophic damage.

Great video Kempf! Wish I could have been there too!

The Muromets is definitely an interesting aircraft. Honestly, I really enjoyed flying it.

I've had problems in the past with the game's playback as well. I hope you're able to get it figured out!

That's awesome guys!

Thanks Mox!

Thanks for the update Vonrd! I was wondering why SoW hadn't been online. Now we know. Looking forward to what they're working on.

Great skin Vonrd! Voted.

Voted! They look awesome Kempf!

Yeah, great set up Hotlead! I'll have to show my brother this thread. He teaches interactive media and design, and always loves to see how people create their video projects.

Great video Barton! Nice escape from the 109s, btw. I'm amazed that your Spit kept flying after that last hit. PS: I uninstalled BOS too. To make room. I'll give it another go in a few weeks.

I'm out of touch with what the best components are right now. I was actually hoping to start spec'ing something out over the holidays. I'd gladly post what I come up with.

Was it the Oak Wood Arms, near the Shannon airport? http://www.oakwoodarms.com/

Thanks for that! I appreciate it. I'm currently trying to save enough money to build a new computer. Mine is currently from 2009, though I've Frankensteined it with more RAM, a newer card and a faster drive. When I finally take the plunge, I think Windows 10 is probably the way I'll go. It makes the most sense overall, and gives me the most longevity. And hopefully, by the time I do that, most of the problems Win10 is having with games will have gone away. Crossing my fingers.

Thanks Hardy for your thoughts! Being German, it's really interesting to get your perspective on things! To clarify the discussion we were having: The idea of the "Red Baron" is a concept that has permeated both North American and British culture. Not "Manfred von Richthofen" the person, necessarily. Few Americans / Canadians or Brits in 2015 would know his real name outside of military buffs or aviation fans. But the idea of there being a "Red Baron" has become a real touchstone (or focal point) for people. Most Americans / Canadians or Brits will say that he's a chivalric knight of the sky, flying a red aircraft. Or they'll call him Snoopy's adversary. Or reference some other incarnation they've seen. That's in large part due to Charles Schultz and Peanuts. But it's also because Richthofen (the person) has been romanticized into myth by the English speaking world. He's in songs, video games, TV programs, cartoons, movies, artwork, toy cars, murals. He's even on military vehicles as "nose art". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Baron_in_popular_culture I think the Wall Street Journal article is just commenting on how different that is from the way he's portrayed in Germany, where his name is remembered, but he's not mythologized. And that's all we were really saying too.

That's really amusing, Ludwig! Btw: here's a Red Baron clip from the new Peanuts movie. I haven't seen it, personally, but I've heard it's very good. It makes me happy to know that a new generation of people are being exposed to WW1 aviation, even if it is through Snoopy.

I liked it too. If for nothing else than the fact that I liked the actors, thought the acting was good, and liked how they represented the paint schemes. The real test was showing it to my wife. She gave the Red Baron a big thumbs up, and liked it more than Flyboys. So I think that it does have the potential for a bigger appeal. It's just too bad that it didn't have a better and more accurate script.
