I would be very wary of using a russian version. I have done a bit of digging and found this http://www.sukhoi.ru/ FAQ on the game, installing and configuring STEAM Is there an option to buy a version of 1C in the West? Would it be possible to ask a friend to buy the CD in Russia and inform key, and I will introduce it in his client Steam? Answer: In Steam implemented a regional system of protection because in different regions of the boxed edition of Steam-games vary in price. Therefore, Games, purchased in Russia (boxed version) will not work outside the CIS. . To determine the location of the player's Steam verifies the IP-address from its database of IP compliance and countries. Attempts to circumvent this protection through proxies can lead to blocking your account.

crap !!!! I pre-ordered 2 days ago hopefully if the russians get a workaround it will find its way here too

Crashing is usually due to overheating or less likely a poor memory stick Depending on your motherboard you usually have sensors that monitor procesor temp and graphics card temp so check and see if there is a utility on your PC that you can run to see if the temp spikes prior to the crash. There is freeware programs on the net such as a program called motherboard monitor that does the same thing A good clean out will help - Pcs clog up a lot with dust - switch off, remove power cord, take off the side panel and use a hairdrier set to cold to blow the dust out then try again - BE CAREFULL - if you short out the components -by touching them when not earthed- it will be expensive although I have never done this in 10 years For your memory there is a program called memtest run this to check your memory is ok- if not then get some new memory crucial are good they check your pc and recommend the correct memory to add

It might as the mods have more visable tracers and hit effects. To improve your gunnery try using the p-51-d-20 with predictor sight , it will show you how much lead to use, set your convergence at 200- 250m and set up the sight at convergence. there is a guide on how to use the sight at mission4today http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&cat=44 hope this helps

I see flatspinman has posted here http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2601013236/m/6881067419 Hope he is ok and my thoughts are with everyone effected there

Steam must have improved , I had no end of trouble with it and half life. I can understand them wanting to use it as an antipiracy measure but I prefer a good old hard copy on dvd

IMHO The clip is better but not WOW THIS IS FANTASTIC great and the extra leads can be a hassle sometimes as they tangle up with your headphones leads but its less than the price of a tank of petrol

Found this neat utility at UKDED http://www.yougamers.com/gameometer/10438/ You run a little utility and it spits out how your machine stacks up - looks like Im above minimum spec

I have 2 scoobies , both imprezas , one old shape and one new shape and they are great cars. 4WD makes all the difference and the newer one has a low gear ratio selector for slippery conditions which helped this winter. A bit expensive to service them as they only hold their value here with authorised dealer stamp but I would certainly recommend them

Im not sure if I can afford this right away Im on what is probably minimum specs just now - dual core 2.6 pentium, 8800GT card and 2GB ram with windows XP reading the info available so far I will probably need the game, new graphics card, more memory and windows 7 64 to get it to run so thats around £250 , then there is the hassle of a new Operating System install so Ill wait until I see how others get on and see what I need to upgrade to get decent results

check out the last section of this report for a nice virtual pit http://video.globo.com/Videos/Player/Noticias/0,,GIM1415834-7823-NERDS+APRESENTAM+SUAS+INVENCOES+NA+CAMPUS+PARTY,00.html

very nice - bet that takes up a fair bit of shelf room

Well after much practice I sucessfully got a ship last night http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/467-skipbomb410/ I have also practiced against columns and find that I have most sucess by winging over and diving straight down on them but hit rate is still low S

No probs Colin This " feature" is really spoiling the game for me and Im really hoping for an answer soon S

If your serious Colin - which I dont think you are mate - please post tracks so I can copy this - its still killing me too often on the servers This is what I am trying with limited sucess from height dive gentlly to around 2500m when directly over target, pulling up vertically , cut engine power to zero and winging over into a near verticle dive - hold target in gunsight dive to 1500m and pull gently through target Wait until target passes under nose, count 1.2.3 quickly and drop this will be around 1000m - pull gentlly out of dive, power up and egress , 1000m is lowest for sucessful pullout rate - lower leads to many lawndarts even this has poor hit rate

Here are some slightly different games that have surprised me recently The kids got a wii last year and im really impressed with some of the titles , I used to think they were kiddie but the mario games are fantastic , the new super mario galaxy 2 is one of the best designed games I have ever played, mario kart is a blast and Iv just got goldeneye , a remake of the snes classic FPS Th eldest has just got a x-box and Batman arkym asylem and Bayonetta are 2 very good games, he likes the Assasins Creed games.

I have found this so will try it out http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&op=show&kid=279 any other help or suggestions appreciated

@Fruitbat Thanks for the videos however they are similar to what I have been trying so while I agree you can bomb a target with the right run, I dont think that you can survive those runs to any great degree - I had a 75% sortie completion before and if I used those runs then Id be lucky to see halve of that . the corsair attack was very good but you still got hit and if there had been any flak on the P-51 attack then I dont think you would have survived. I have read some of the comments on the 1c site , and while it was hard finding the diamonds , I thought there were some valid points from guys I have known for years and flown with often. They used the tactics that they had developed over time and that worked in the situation - now the game has changed and folk will have to adapt , this old dog will need to learn new tricks I really dont think you can do low runs now on some servers, I read how 603 squadron used spits with 500lb bombs against V2 sites in holland and had success with winging over and diving in so Ill try that Thanks for your help S

LOL, i've already dropped that 'bomb' over at the banana forums bloody hell 29 pages of argument - no wonder I hardly ever go there or the zoo- is there any useful info on how to suceed in 4.1 ? Or is it all shite ?

Yeah I have tried this but still get hammered at the pop up - Ill watch your vid and see if you are doing anything different - might just be a case of getting different cockpit refrences for dropping higher- I fly closed pit and had it down to a tee with the old approach , knew just when to drop thanks again S
