Hey Guys, Just wanted to plug a podcast that I listen to all the time. Dan Carlin, one of the people behind Hardcore History, just did an introductory episode about the beginning of the First World War. It's called Blueprint for Armageddon I. It's my impression that he'll go through the entire war, in the same type of detail that he does in this episode: http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php/hharchive https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dan-carlins-hardcore-history/id173001861?mt=2 I highly recommend listening to it. I listen at work, mostly. For those more interested in the Second World War, he had an excellent multiple-part series on the Battle of Stalingrad. I can't find a free link for it, but here's a purchase one: http://dancarlin.com/dccart/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&products_id=184

I've been aware of Augmented Reality (AR) for a while now. But this is the first time I've seen someone try to use it for computer gaming. Reminds me a lot of holochess from Star Wars. Very cool stuff! Also, I loved the table-top D&D example. So cool.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/technicalillusions/castar-the-most-versatile-ar-and-vr-system Spies told me about this today on TeamSpeak. Can you imagine...

Wow, you're right. I never noticed the raised lip until you posted the accident report. I guess he did know it was coming. Good post!

Yeah, especially since it didn't happen immediately upon wheels down. It's got to be about 2 seconds after touchdown - just enough time to think you're okay, until you're not.

Here you go. From 2005:

PS: I agree with Hess - When The Sun Goes Down is awesome!

Hey Renner! Great to hear from you. You know, I was going through some old files on my computer recently and found a bunch of screenshots of the two of us in our "new" Fw 190 skins. It easily had to from around 2005 or 6. I'll see if I can find them, and post them. Could be good for a laugh, as the birds are a bit tarted up. Also, I'll PM you our TS3 server. You should definitely stop by if you get the chance. While we mostly fly RoF and IL-2, we have a bunch of guys that play World of Tanks, Civ V, Star Wars Old Republic, Day Z, etc. Plus, it would be great to catch up. Talk more soon.

Very cool! I always enjoy reading the Osprey books.

Hi All, A long time ago, Moxy and I were looking for information on his grandfather. And we came across this website: http://www.aircrewremembered.com/Kracker/KrackerArchive.html It's a great resource. There is no comparable online resource for WW1 (that I know of). Though, the Ace list at The Aerodrome comes very close. http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/index.php WW1 does have the "encyclopedia" books by Norman Franks and others, however: The Jasta Pilots, The Jasta War Chronology, Above the Lines and Casualties of the German Air Service 1914-1920. I have all four and they're excellent. There are similar books for the Allied powers. But I unfortunately never got those: Over the Front (US & French), The French Air Service War Chronology, Above Flander's Fields (Belgian), Above the War Fronts (British two-seaters), Above the Trenches (British), and Above the Trenches Supplement (British). I may have missed an Allied book somewhere in there... if I did, please add them below. I'd love to check them out.

I saw this at SimHQ, but for the life of me can't find where. Regarding the video, I think Miss Helen was having engine trouble and performed an emergency landing in a field. Watch for the prop strike at the end (~23 seconds).

Wow, that looks like a really great book. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Thanks Pandacat!

Glad you like it! We've added a few new areas for you. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Chouf, I remember UrukHai from the Lafayette Escadrille. But unfortunately wasn't around when he was JG1_Pips. We still have a couple of active JG1 members who go back to the mid-to-late 1990s. Perhaps they'd have something to add. You may want to ask the Wing Walkers. They have a few pilots that I know go all the way back to the early 90s. Hope that helps! -Klai .

The direct URL to the DCG forums will be slightly different. But the direct URL to the main JG1 page should be the same. I'll send Lo the updated information, so he can change it over at Lowengrin.com Either way, when the forum goes down, the JG1 website will stay up. But once the new forums come back up, the JG1 website will temporarily disappear, leaving just the forum.

S! All, As some of you may know, JG1 is currently in the process of converting our forums over to IP Board. We are now in the final stages. We will be attempting to move the forum data over from both Richthofen and Oesau this week. That means that any posts that are made after this announcement may be lost. This is unavoidable. When the two JG1 forums (Richthofen and Oesau) come down, you will not be able to access them. However, the rest of the website should still be up. I'll make further announcements in the blog sections of the websites. Please let everyone know that the forum conversion will be happening soon! Thanks guys! -Klaiber

Ooo, definitely let me know what you think of it. I may pick it up.

I got my copy running this week, and started trying to map controls. However, I'm having trouble getting some of the key commands to work within my CH Control Manager. For example F for flaps down works great. But Left Shift + F doesn't want to work through the CH stick for flaps up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'll let you know how I make out - just got to put more time into attempting to fix it.

They look great Fred!

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

Awesome. Let us know how it runs.

Looking good!
