This financial crisis is forcing State and local agencies to make some tough decisions. If things continue for much longer, there's a real risk that we may have to lay off Jose.

No software for MSFFB2 with Win7. So no macros for it, but you can assign buttons to actions. There is commercial software that can program both though..

Boxed version vs Steam? I have the Steam version, I read that boxed is easier to do the Combined Operations bit, but even with Steam it is a snap so long as you have ARMAII and Arrowpoint. Steam did a mid-week madness last week for it, £17 for the two but back up to £29 now I think. Well worth £29 if you are seeking realism vs arcade.

Just looking into the Normandy mod.. 2 million + objects...

FFB loss only lasts, in my experience, until you respawn. Not so bad in a DF but in a Co-Op a pain. So don't alt-tab unless you have died/landed. Replacing the FFB files is dead easy, once you have the files, as it is simply a case of copying the files over the old ones. I have attached 2 zip files containing (if my memory serves me well - but I can't remember the last time it did) modified ffe files. Backup the contents of the ForceFeedback directory in your install, and extract the contents of either zip to that directory. I think they are two variations on tuning, so experimentation is in order And yes, I should have put these in the vault but want to be a hypocrite today ForceFeedback.zip ForceFeedback2.zip

@Streak, glad you got it sorted. @Propnut, got any details on the Normandy Mission - what is needed to host/play etc? Jake's clan (my son) are quite keen on trying out a WWII aspect, and as they are quite young (15 - 21 year olds) I'm all for encouraging it as it can maintain respect for what was done by many for us. They are a nice bunch, some are NA, and surprisingly mature and very much into the team work aspect this game demands. Unlike BBFC2, MoH, CoD etc. lone wolves have a very short life span, and respawning is usually at least 2 clicks from the action - having chopper specialists ferrying us into action is cool

Great to have friends like that Jim. Impressive pile of wood growing there too!

I've got the Pips for Pippa. That is for sure.

Sweet! Screenies, as ever, show the beauty of IL2

Guys. This was about the appraisal of a wedding. Not an invitation to debate politics and history. The former we avoid (along with religion due to possibility of falling out) and the latter is usually related to WW2 or WW1 Let's keep it on topic please

It should be fully patched. To run combined Ops (after running ARMA 2 at least once) you can either: Right Click Arrowhead in library and select 'Launch ARMA 2: Combined Operations Or browse to the Arrowhead installation folder and run _runA2CO.cmd (send it to desktop, rename and change icon to make it easier).

Well that too, but that is a whole other discussion Kev!

Happy Birthday TOAD!

Made me feel proud to be British again About time we had a good looking Queen, and her sister .. yum!

+1 on the MSFFB2 and CH Throttle combo. There are FFB files you can replace to tone down gun and cannon, this leaves feedback just as you want.

Has been posted in the past, when it was buggy. Several patches, and a multitude of mods later, and it is now an engaging experience. One great feature is persistence (SEOW like) for multi-player. You can leave the sim and rejoin later and the AI will have progressed in your absence. Massive maps populated with AI friends and foes, and civilians, using Warfare mod (Benny Edition) makes this the FPS[imulator] it set out to be. If any of you have ARMAII and Operation Arrow head and fancy a session, I have a dedicated server running We use Mumble rather than TS, largely due to lower memory foot print and the built-in overlay, and you can find it on the default port on RCCLan.com (my son's Clan site).

Censored?

Can't open it for some reason. Divx it's a black screen. WMP I have sound but no video. QT wants a plugin, I have Divx installed.. What Codec does it use mate?

So pleased they used English. Would have been a nightmare to translate from Russian

Sweet. So far I have found my 4870 is too aged to run it smoothly enough to be playable.

2007 runs fine, if you are using that for your emai then again you have no problems! Just ensure you bring across the settings. Like Arthur says, your system is OK for Win 7 64 bit and should handle CoD reasonably well.

Only benefit from retaining XP is if you have an application that will not run under Win 7, IL2 is not one of those applications, or you have some exotic hardware for which Win 7/Vista drivers have not been developed. There is one possible side benefit, and that is you do not loose any data. Book marks and emails are the most likely candidates for omission in a backup due to odd location of the files.
