That Sabre sure has a nicely polished skin. Great picture! Is that you in the kinky black leather jacket?

I was browsing the Zoo today and saw this link for the latest version of iL2 Compare. http://war.by-airforce.com/downloads/il ... -4.07.html

George Bush dies and goes down below and meets the Devil who says. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'm going to have to let some-one else go. I've got three folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, so you can take their place. I'll even let you decide who leaves." George thought that sounded pretty good considering the circumstances, so he agreed. The devil opened the first room. In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of hot water. He kept divingin and climbing out, over and over. Such was his fate in Hell. "No!" George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and don't think I could stay in hot water all day." The devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a sledge hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing the hammer, time after time. 'No!" I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day" commented George. The devil opened a third door. In it, George saw Bill Clinton lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head and his legs staked in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. George Bush looked at this in disbelief for a while and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this." The devil smiled and said, "Ok, Monica, you're free to go!"

Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq, here is a sobering statistic. There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,867 deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq.

Don't leave me out Carl. I run all your crappy missions......... at least once!

One more thing that hasn't been mentioned here yet. IR4 was specifically designed to clip on to an LCD as well as to sit on a CRT.

No Dave. It was because they were only damaged on the ground not destroyed. Like a forced landing that you survive.

No Redeye. You didn't cost us an aircraft either. The final stats should show the two aircraft we lost. Jensenpark and B16Enk I believe it was.

@ Cold_Gambler I have just seen some of the stats from yesterday and you did not cost us a aircraft. The 352nd lost 6 to our 2.

I have reviewed the tape of the incident and consulted with our Propaganda Officer. The above procedure would not have prevented this accident. I think it should be amended to have the first pilot clear of the runway before the following pilot starts his roll. First pilot should call out

It is almost inevitable that someone will have an accident on take off. I used to do it all the time but have finally managed to get the hang of it................ most of the time.

Apparently the event log I sent Oscar after the game ended was incomplete and didn't contain any personal stats. My game froze when I tried to take a screenshot of the results and the only way I could end it was to ctrl/alt/delete. I think the personal stats got lost as a result. This would have meant that the group would have received credit for all the kills

I made a bunch of Glenn Miller wav files some time ago and sent them to Rog. Some stuff like Tail End Charlie, Jeep Jockey Jump, When we take Berlin. I don't think I have them anymore on my computer as I have reformatted since. I am not sure how I made them either since it was a while ago. Maybe Rog still has them. He never throws anything away

Hip, hip........

Again?

We did that as well Chris but the result was the same. Strange how his 4.071m game opens ok but he can't get 4.08m. Fortunately he made copies of his 4.071m game each time. He also has a copy of 4.05m on his computer. Maybe he should go back to that and patch back up from there and see if that will work.

Probably time of day you try Stef. I downloaded it at 600kb per sec.

I have 4.08m installed. BBloke what you say is correct if they installed from the DVD. If they used "another" method they have to install in the il2.FB

Colin. You don't need the patch. Just wait a short while for Quazi's email. There are written instructions in it.

Quazi is in the process of renewing installation instructions for his switch files and you may no be able to get them from usendit for a short while. Please note his switch files also include the official patch. I have installed his switcher and can now switch between 4.04m, 4.05m, 407m. 4.071m and 4.08m. Talk about overkill!

After reviewing all the stuff at UBI Zoo, this now looks like the real McCoy. Quazi has done a new switcher for it but I don't know if it will work with the way we each installed it (wink, wink). I have asked him be email and will let you know what he says.

ok I have reciprocated. But I hate begging for what is rightfully mine. You are hereby consigned to the dungeon with ten sheep.

And I get nothing for starting the thread. Humbug!

I think one of the mods deleted the link. I tried it earlier and it downloaded at 31 kb a sec. Let's wait until the official patch comes out.

Here is a link to the triple switcher which means you will be able to switch between 4.04m, 4.05m and 4.70m http://www.france-simulation.com/article.php?sid=1374 The install instructions are in French but easy to understand. Just extract this download to your il2 Sturmovik game folder.
