Generally I've been hearing good things about Win7 and it doesn't seem to be possible to hold onto XP with new hardware anymore so I'm off to the brave new world soon. As I recall, CloD wasn't working for you until you did your upgrade from XP, right Dave? Yes, this was the only reason I upgraded, Clod would not run on XP ; but having done so Im happy It took me a while but all my old games, hardware and other programs installed fine remember to save all your savegame or config files from old games, then when you install them into windows 7 you can copy them in and you wont have to start from scratch you are probably aware of this but you should also save your my documents folder to an external drive and any other valuable folders such as photographs then you can copy them into your new install windows does a migration tool, see here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/windows-easy-transfer , I didnt use it as I am dual booting so still have all my old info on an old hard drive on the same computer but it might help you

watch what folders you install programs to or it will nag you to death( think second wife) dont allow them to install into default program files but create new folders e.g. C:/ il246 overall I really like it and I was a XP diehard, I havnt had time to get into the real nuts and bolts of windows7 but it seems stable

still not fixed the spitfire gunsight

well its up and running and settling out my controls, does not seem to like some of my x-45 inputs so will remap and try again but first impressions are very good

I left virgin this year and Im with sky now still adsl and works fine, virgin were a major pain to deal with and their helpless lines terrible

ty Ill give this a try what got me started on air sims was rowans WW1 sim so this should be interesting

I found this http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,2591.0.html for old reticles but the link is dead so Ill probably have to wait until they fix this

bump the reticle in spit IXs is very small - is this a bug or a feature - I tried using it like a predictor sight but it didnt increase in size any ideas guys - this is really annoying

These are a bit more expensive than here - we are around £3 to £3.50 a pint of lager/ale and £3.50 for a bottle of miller/budweiser etc , much cheaper at a weatherspoons pub tho

installed and was crashing to desktop after about 10 secs even when I touch nothing - FIXED I had only activated UP3.0 in JSME and not in the executable selector box that pops up- click change settings and then ultrapack 3 in game type box

Im having trouble installing - I am getting errors CRC failed in cockpits 04.sfs and maps 1 and 2 all with unexpected end of archieve. It then stops the installation- have pmd Rog

thanks this worked for me - updated and will try it out over the weekend thanks this worked for me - updated and will try it out over the weekend

coming on nice mate

Here is a few shots of this speed build. It was completed in around a week including breaks for work. A nice kit , with few pieces and a good fit. only problems were no location holes/pegs for surfaces, instructions were very basic resulting in me doing the undercarraige wrong and having to fix, but that might just be me. OOB except for decal seatbelts from a tamiya P-47 paint is tamiya and xtracrylix applied with a brush , colours were mixed to some samples I found on discussions on forums, the blue still looks a bit garish and I might tone it down later but Im happy with it just now

Apologies - have to be kids taxi tonight - I hope that I will be able to join you guys sometime soon

very nice please take care ... too many of my biker mates ended up in hospital at one time or another, I broke my kneecap when I was 24 on my bonneville 750. usually not the bikers fault but someone not looking I love bikes but I dont think Ill ever get another, too many folk on the roads around here who dont know what they are doing

Ill see if I can get time. Unfortunatly I have not had a lot of time to get used to the game so I will be a complete novice at CEM- if I get time Ill watch some of the you tube videos posted One thing Im interested in, do you the mouse for clicking on things like magnetos etc or have you your keys mapped?

@rattler - definatly look at the eduard etch - I used this one http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ED32075 and the coloured seat belts and it really improved the pit . I used eaglecal decals and have spares if you need any let me know and Ill post them to you @ fooltrottle , it isnt that big , 11" long with a foot wing span, my 1/48 phantom is about the same length .

99% complete just the aerial wire and cockpit canopy wire to do - might do some light weathering later on 21st centuary toys kit , eduard etch for pit and seatbelts and eagle cal decals nice kit - only real bugbear were that machinegun bulges were poor so I didnt fit them and the airleon balance were not included in the kit and are a distinctive feature on 109s
