  1. I got a response from Mark the support person who pointed me to page 68 of their 72 page FAQ! It seems that if using a laptop you have to get rid of the opening movie OBDSplash.WMV by renaming it. The game then loads like a charm. I am not used to wading through FAQ's or manuals so I must have fallen asleep after page 10 😄

  2. Reviving this thread. I bought the WOTR game, downloaded and installed it last night but I cannot run it. I click on the desktop icon and get a blue circle with a line through it on a black screen for a few seconds then back to desktop! I cannot see anything covering this on their 70 page FAQ so I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?.

     

  3. Thanks Fenris, I would have instantly failed because of the way my plane is set up in practice.  I am going to fiddle with my settings to make them compatible with your instructions. Also I am slightly confused with the start time. The forum calendar shows that the game will be from 0530 to 0730 my time which is GMT plus 10.5. Your start time is 2 hours later than that, not that I am complaining or anything. 🙂

    Hey AOB.

    Glad you're interested in joining the campaign, our next mission is on Sunday 7th February at 2100GMT which I understand is your Monday morning? If you could join half an hour/15 minutes before hand I will happily include you if you can still make it.

    One thing that consistently catches out the first timers is getting the engine start procedure running without a hitch; we start engines off at the ramp then taxi to the relevant runway. Due to the specific procedure to engine starts in the Lightning we have often found that it can catch out those unfamiliar with how to do it, people mostly being used to air starts, or on the runway with engines already going, so I would suggest you take some time to get comfortable with getting the motors running, and how to rescue the engine start procedure should you accidentally fluff it!

    Here's the procedure in case you haven't tried it before:

    1. Ensure both engines selected (they are both selected by default when you spawn in).

    2. Mixture 100% - Levers fully forward 

    3. RPM 100% - Levers fully forward

    4. Press Engine start key (default 'E')

    5. Left Engine will start first, then Right Engine.

    6. When both motors running reduce Mixture to 70%

    7. When ready to taxi release Parking Brake by pressing your brake input/key once.

    8. Should either motor fail to start ensure you switch off that engine by selecting it and pressing 'E' to switch it off prior to trying again.

     

     

  5. Hello all,

    i am AOB, that is pronounced AY, OH, BEE. I do not seriously wish to change my moniker as this one has been around since my Fighter Ace (which I certainly was not) days. I thought it was a good choice as it sounded vaguely Japanese and we used to do a lot of flying with and against that lot.

    The answers must be in here somewhere, but after an hour or two I cannot find them (probably my fault) but:-

    What servers does DD have or use for Great Battles?

    What are the Teamspeak channel details for DD?

    Where are the DD skin packs located?

    Is there a DD starter info pack that I should read?

    I have CLoD and most of the Great Battles plus a few of the collection aircraft. (Aren't sales great). 

    I am probably going to spend a day or two getting my control keys sorted but I look forward to catching up with  you up there.

    Cheers

    AOB

     

  6. That sounds good to me. I am in the process of learning this sim, so if you want an old pre-schooler I would like to fly with you.

    PS. I don,t mind AOB as an allround Moniker. It stands for Ancient Old person born out of wedlock. ☺

  7. I am looking for a friendly and laid back group to play with who:-

    1. Do not use Discord or Facebook as a primary means of communication. (Teamspeak or Mumble is good for me).

    2. Do not do full real anything. (I have little interest in becoming a real pilot in these games).

    3. Do not swear too much.

    3. Do not mind having having an older member onboard who would rather fly transport planes or ground pounders. (and not very well).

    Any such animal exist out there?
