he must be based in london then - no 3 hr commutes here. Yes you can still get snobbery and class distinction in some areas. Also some folk look down on people in the service industries. I would say that it isnt as bad as the steriotypes and has decreased over the years but still exists.

there are quite a few regional accents in Scotland mate - mine is central - a mix of glaswegian and edinburgheese. Folk have different words for ordinery things like soda - Dazza will know what Im talking about, he'll get the broad glaswegian accent where he works. the lowlands around the borders is softer and the highlands are a seriese of grunts and squeeks

do you use the switcher or do you have 2 installs - if you have 2 installs then copy your config.ini and user folder from 46 into il2fb. you will want to back up files from il2fb to somewhere safe in case it goes very tits up I dont use the switcher so cant help with that mate

hi mate - your spec is low end for the game - dont know how much you wish to upgrade or are able to but the obvious culprit is your processor - If possible get this up to 2.4 or above. your motherboard manual will tell you what is possible. your graphics card is low end and Im surprised you can handle a resolution of 1600 x 1200 (32 bit) - do you have a flat panel that you have to run this high ? If you have a normal crt then reduce this to 1024* 768, this will help and make sure you are only running 2* AA and 2*AF in windows display properties. you could also try running your sound in basic as this will help run dxdiag - click sound tab and move slider to left until basic shows, save and exit. hope this helps Dave

I have had problems with flying online since going to 4.08. It was more noticable on warclouds than our co-ops but last night was pretty bad especially on one of the ardennes maps when I was low dogfighting spits in a 109 over flak. as it seems to be the uk guys that noticed it then it might have been UK network fault as I have to admit I havnt seen it as bad before on jims server and the last SEOW was smooth for me until I got over Caen when it went tits up. as soon as I moved east it was better and even with the heavy flak as I attacked ground targets I didnt notice any problems.

nice find mate- everyone is different but I think that 4.08 is more harder hitting so convergencies are coming down - Im still playing but I am at 200 for most now. 150 for .303 and slow ROF guns

more from interview -talking about spits

thought this would interest some of you

I have read a few biographies and my feelings are that the luftwaffe developed a highly sucessful tactical way of fighting with their fighters. The experten were the flight leader and attacker and the other 3 in the flight looked after his back. In the eastern front and desert they would often fly with 2 or 3 staggered flights in a wing , the lower being the scoring wing. Each theatre dictated the height with the desert and eastern front being low whereas the western front was high. They also had to chose their engagements carefully as by 1942 they were outnumbered on all fronts and the experten started to get whittled down by attrition, to be replaced by inexperienced pilots. However there is strong evidence that the herp warship of richthoven was strong, so many wanted to emulate him and the desire for kills that led to points and decorations made many to regard this as their prime objective and not the mission or strategic goals. The russian pilots are very scathing of the german tactics, they never left their bombers or il2s and often found that the germans fighters would if they were threatened. The german airforce of course made a more determined stand when defending their homeland skies against the allied bomber forces . All accounts are that the attacks on the bombing boxes protected by the long range fighter were regarded as suicide and it was only a matter of time before the luftwaffe was effectivly wiped out in the west. luftwaffe aces by micheal spink and gallands biography " the first and the Last " and steinhoffs "messchersmitts over sicily"

hi I have some reviews at airwarfare under my alto ego dieg777 here http://www.airwarfare.com/AWX/features/index.htm as the others have said, once you use this you wont fly without it. I would recommend the tir4 or the tir3 and get the vector expansion for tir3. TIR 4 is better - all depends on what you can afford mate.

ah thanks for that

Yep sged has had a great few days- excellent covering for Rattler on Sunday and 2 kills in 1 mission on warclouds. S mate Good to fly with the guys last night- I agree with jensenpark working together we can do

excellent colin - your writting style is very good mate

All I dont know what the situation is with everyone but I hope we all have 46 i.e. 4.07m or are getting it soon. there is a new official patch for this out now 4.08m -this is the final patch for the game. I propose we all move to 4.08m ASAP If there is real problems with anyone getting 46 DVD then we could have 4.05m as a backup and only use these 2 versions.

havnt used these mate, heard mixed reports about earlier ones. I did use omega optimised drivers for a while but have found that the ati latest are good enough to stop me going back to these types. If you are interested then omega are here http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati/win2k_xp.php. you need to use atitraytools with these. If I remember rightly this was bundled with the drivers. The install takes a long time. I remember thinking my system ha hung once and was going to reboot but left it to get on with the install and it did. hope this helps

well done mate - if I ever get the time this will be the next one I try

have a look at il2 wingman http://www.airwarfare.com/Sims/FB/fb_es ... es.htm#053 it records a log file of events , im at work so cant check if it does chat messages but will update tomorrow its a nice program anyway with lots of info in it

rattler and I were on fire last night on ukded2 we both got around 3 each- pete maybe got more - anyway it was good fun with a fellow dogz as company

there is something wrong with this forum as I have been posting but the last thread is an old one - none of the 2007 posts appear?

Pooka the book is better laid out with a few more details on what he is discussing, there are not more pictures or illustrations, but they are clearer.

when not flying with the dogz you can usually find me on warclouds at all kinds of funny times. UKded are thinking of launching a closed pit server so Ill try that out for a while if they launch it.

Im back at all 100s with 46 and feel it is better

Iv bought the book version of "in persuit" , you can get it from amazon - better than pdf version

some of mine
