nice pictures mate- Its nice to see historical aviation items with links to our squad mates. And you should not be so modest , your grandfathers service history , like so many others, is much appreciated by many in UK .
OOPs sorry Rog - I was going to tease you a bit about this but decided better not to - very good flying on the track - the rockets certainly look easier than bombs so I might award 2 gongs - one for rockets and one for bombs- that should keep you all busy. :toothy7:
yes as long as you are alive on the runway.- BTW you missed a convoy in your first track - there are 3 in total and 4 boats- you can see them all using ctrl F2 as I have ground cameras placed. :wink:
Just a reminder that us brits turn our clocks FORWARD 1 hour at 0200 hrs tomorrow morning so tomorrow we will effectivly be 1 hour earlier for co-ops unless the colonials also change
Sorry - yes one release ( button press) of either bombs or rockets per sweep please- the idea is to help improve aiming techniques so multiple releases would I think spoil this.
this is only a bit of fun for the gong - for your own enjoyment you can do as you wish - you can edit the mission in FMB or shift Es mission tuner to increase or decrease flack , objects , change planes etc- I dont mind
there are review on TIR on www.airwarfare.com by one of the finest reviewers on the web :wink: a shy modesty chap :oops: :shock:
Seriously TIR is the best thing I have for this game. there was a fix in the last patch for those who experienced problems with it slowing down but I never have had problems
I have a barely used TIR 3 +VE +hat that I was going to auction but if you are interested in cutting a deal then e-mail me mate we can discuss shipping to USA etc
Glad to help - my strike rate is still too low as I still tend to fire too early- Iv got to try to control this better and only shoot when certain.
Im also going thro a bad patch just now where I cant seem to judge deflection and Im stalling out too much so I need to work some more on my stick settings and concentrate on smooth inputs.
BTW if Rog improves any more then ill be ordering extra armour and invisable paint to give me a chance to bail when he nails me or escape
I have nose mounted cannon and m/c at 1000m e.g. Bf109s
wing mounted cannon at 500m e.g Spits
wing mounted m/c at 300m e.g hurricanes
If I have nose and wing cannon e.g. FW 190 I set to 500m but some recommend 600 or 700m
If you set the nose guns lower the trajectory falls low- the longer range gives flatter trajectory.
The wing guns settings are closer as they fire in a x pattern so need closer to ensure more hits
The m/c guns closer still to make up for lack of firepower.
200m is ok offline for fighters but youll probable get shot down a lot with sniper bomber gunners if you are getting that close so increasing it might help.
Online there is always slight packet loss so the plane you are targeting isnt quite where you see it.- give it that 1/4 ring extra lead also helps me
here are two helpful articles

and here is my article and practice missions

hope this helps
p.s if you ever work out how to hit with 30mm cannons please let me know :oops: the slow rate of fire and lobbed flight path means I cant hit anything with these
NAH it was only cancelled due to me informing them that you sneak up and shoot guys who have just cleared yer 6 in dogfight maps- even they thought that was just not cricket old chap :wink:
NP getting it for any mates who need it - if you want to order from USA then Jason from GOGamer is importing them - see here

Forgot to add please record your missions using quick record which gives a ntrk file- you will have to assign a key to start recording. It will help those of us who suck at groundpounding pick up some tips.
Sorry to hear this mate- I had a cocker spaniel for 12 years - one of the best friends I ever had- never got another dog as I dont think he could be replaced.
BTW my 2 lads both love Star Wars too and we have some great light sabre fights around the house.
Iv checked and you were on my mailing list mate- if it doesnt arrive in a few hours let me know and i will resend it to you
Id recommend the same as we fly co-op e.g. closed pit except for take off - anything else is acceptable - unlimited ammo but only one bomb release/ rocket fire per run - so no blanket bombing.
I have sent an e-mail to all with this mission - If Iv missed anyone then let me know and Ill send you a copy or you can download it in the missions section of the web site
Good Luck all
Will Psycho get his hat-trick
Dazza Im off next Tuesday and Wednesday a.m if you are free then we could try ukded 2 as our pings would be better. If interested drop me an e-mail and we can meet up on line then.
I fly on warclouds when not on squad nights- I would recommend that you use their teamspeak as the guys there are usually very good They tend to have a better SA than me so help me a lot - They have a few spare rooms so you could use one of these in whisper mode for the squad while benifitting from the general info in the main rooms. good article here on setting this up

Id love to bee there but I think that our time differences will rule me out from joining up with you :crybaby:
If warclouds is busy try UKdedicated 2 - they are trying out full real settings and are a good bunch of guys- only thing is they only have one TS channel so both sides can hear each other- perhaps here using the DD channel would be better. They are pretty friendly on UKD2 - not as intense as Warclouds.
Let us know how it works out mate - I might try to set up something similar for UK members if enough are interested.
here is Psychos track - how it stays so low without the height in the speed bar escapes me

well done mate
