Come on already, the boy did good but FOUR threads geez....give me a break

Have you tried Air Charter in Surbiton, Surrey. I might be able to get you a name if they interest you. Friar

Hi FT, Do you mean Forest=2 or is Trees=2 a different setting. Coz' I just looked through my conf.ini and I only have the forest setting? regards Friar

its not how fast your are it's what you do with it

oh Craig.... my hero.....

a bit "slap-dash" there Pete (thats a term we use here in the UK for a job thats done correctly). You have not picked out the "Rolls Royce" in chrome

Thats exactly what I was thinking Jeddi

Did'nt the Russians already have that sort of thing, a certain Dangerdogz favourite mission springs to mind............

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I have tried the separate toggle for gear up and down but can only get the gear to come down. Assigning a command to Magneto next does not work I have added the command to a MODS section at the end of my conf.ini Any pointers?

wow, excellent work Pete, I for one did not realise that Mossie pilots had their own beer can rack just below the seat.

I, along with all the Sisters at The Priory would like to wish to you all a safe and prosperous new year. Salute Friar

If they do, it is bound to be under strength

Dino, If the MDS server has no externals on at the moment, that is my fault. It is where I have been testing the settings for the event. I will check this afternoon and if they are off I will put them back on. I am of the opinion the group is NOT heading towards permanent tougher settings for the weekly co-op nights, we just happen to be in a period of testing the newly found settings that are available to us at the moment. Your right that players can set their own difficulty settings for regular nights, its just that once in a while people like to have these events where pilots know that they can work to get on someone's six without them being spotted via an external view. This group is all about getting enjoyment from the game. The vast majority of the time I believe it is played so that all players, regardless of the equipment they have, get to "fly" and have a laugh, it is my opinion that it is only fair that just as the group accommodates the fun flyer, once in a while we also go that bit extra for those that like the settings a bit tougher. The work you have done in building the MDS missions is very much appreciated by the group, giving anyone the chance that wants to fly for a bit on the MDS server and have plenty to keep them occupied. Salute Friar Edit. I have just checked and below are the current settings and as you can see, externals are on. Friar

Hi Zooly, No, these settings are just being tried out as we have only just discovered how to do it! It was always one of Jim's rules that The Dogz have always tried to fly at the lowest common denominator for our general flying to make sure everyone gets to have a good time, for example if someone had not patched up then we would always try and drop down to what ever they had, I have been the benefactor on more than occasion of this rule. Anyone that wants to stick to no externals can do so with their own settings / choice, using what ever aids they have at their disposal. We are however, intending to fly the North Africa event with externals only on the ground plus very short icons just to "notch it up a bit", as these events have done in the past. FT is our main host during the week and I am sure that once we have these new setting sussed, (we had an interesting scenario tonight when I skilfully dived on Sweper and strafed him whilst he was landing killing him but not destroying the plane, he could not go to externals at all, where he should have been able to. Once I had returned and finished the job and destroyed his plane, he could then use externals to look at what was going on, albeit, his own side only,) we will be going back to normal. It is sessions like this that wheedle out such quirks. I am sorry that you feel you were not able to fly with these settings and left before we had a chance to explain. I have already posted in another thread stating that I believe co-ops should remain with "lax" settings and from talking to the chaps that were left last night, the consensus was the same. Myself and the other guys all hope to fly with you again soon and enjoy the madness that is the Dogz. Friar

Thanks Jabo Just been on to the site but it is unable to process my order at the moment, probably lots of people with new pc's buying software! Cheers Friar

Ok chaps, Made the decision that now is the time to park XP, as much as I love it and move to Win 7 (I do have 4gb of ram sitting in my machine after all). My specs are as follows; Intel® Core™2 Duo E8600 (2 X 3.33GHz) 1333MHz FSB/6MB L2 Cache 4GB CORSAIR XMS2 800MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY! (2x2GB) ASUS® P5N-D: DDR2, SATAII, 2 x PCI-e x16, 2 PCI, 2 x PCI-e x1 1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE 9800GT PCI EXPRESS ONBOARD 8 CHANNEL (7.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD) (Realtek) 600W Quiet Quad Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan 500GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7,200rpm) I was thinking of going for 64bit - How can I check if my memory / processor will work with 64 bit software? Anyone see any problems? I know that it is a complete new install from XP by the way.. Friar

Wow....the full README certainly contains some interesting stuff for mission builders. I would suggest you have a read. They seem to have incorporated quite a few of the UP3 features as standard now plus some interesting new ones.......

I think I would agree with Jabo on not using it for co-ops. Each .mis file would have to be amended for it to work, so perhaps it could depend on who was flying and what the lowest common denominator was?

Ok I have now got this sorted (thanks to Fruitbat for asking the question over at SAS). I spent some time this afternoon going through various settings until, bingo, it worked. Settings needed to be as follows In difficulty settings - External Views to Off (toggle switch to left) No Externals light illuminated. then at the end of the .mis file the following lines of code [Mods] ExternalViewLevel 0 ExternalViewGround 1 On the ground you can use externals but then once in the air, external views are disabled. I shall be adding it to the North Africa Map settings. Friar

emmmmmm....... mosquiteo........nice
