Toad, IE7 had some security features which really screwed up a friend who after upgrading could not get to her on line bank! I use Fireox and find it much better. there are IE addins for it as well. I have'nt touched IE in ages.

Following on from a comment that jediteo made the other night about how to modify Track Ir to work in a bright room I conducted a little experiment. jedi suggested that if you are in a room where the light sends the trackir camera crazy and just will not work then the light can be filtered out by placing the insides of a floppy disk over the camera. Experiment. 1. remove the floppy disk from inside of a floppy disk.. 2. start up your track ir on a bright sunny day. 3. click view and tracking from within the track ir software. you track ir screen will probably be awash with red and green reflected light. 4. Hold the floppy disk over the camera. the reflected light disappears. now the only way i could test the next bit was as follows... Whilst holding the floppy disk in front of the camera, i pointed my tv remove control at the camera pressed a channel number. this brought up a green dot on the track ir screen. this confirms what jediteo said, the disk blocks out normal light but lets through infra red light. So to conclude, although this mod will not work for the normal reflected spots system, if you have the clip or can wire together 3 ir l.e.ds it should, theoretically work the track ir system. if any one would like to take this further, please post. ......so the cat is put in a sealed box..........

I would like to say well done to eveyone that took part last night (was there anyone in the dogz that was NOt there last night!) I hope that eveyone that wanted to fly did so and that the "pool" system worked for both sides. If there is anyone who did not think it worked, please drop me PM so that I can think about what to do for the next one

badger, there is nothing you can do in the game, it is in the domain of the people who have the skill to do the mods. you could try the "all aircraft arcade" forum which seems to be the home of every thing mods for this game.

Hi guys Saturday 6th sep 14:30 in the uk. i am in doors on my own. pooring with rain outside so am powering my game up to practice. if anyone out there wants to join me perhaps we can go on the dog fight server. Salute Friar

This event is intended for K9 Squadron members only. It was not intended to be a "fully open" event. I sent out the original email and perhaps should have made it clear. I appolgise for any inconvienence caused. We are always looking for other squads to set events like this up with and perhaps we could do something togther in the future. Salute Friar.

what about adding it to a blank spit mk1 skin, would that be possible?

hi guys, I have just purchased a very nice model of a spit mk1 with bob markings DW E. This is a skin that is in the game already, however, i think the lettering is a little large compared to my model (which is supposed to be very accurate) Is there anyone skilled enough to be able to either re-do it or do it with reduced (not by much) lettering size. I dont have the skill or software to, so am hoping there is someone out there. It will be cool to fly a plane with the exact model sitting in front of me. just for info the plane is serial no R6595 of 610 Squadron "County Of Chester" which was based at Biggin Hill (just up the road from me). It's duties were covering the channel and was part of 11 group. It is being recorded as being flown by a W. Maxwell but was shot down (pilot safe) by a 109. (Dont you just love the internet, all i did was put "spitfire R6595" into google!) many thanks Cheers Friar

will the joystick work on its own? does it not have to connect to the throttle and the throttle to the pc?

I am not sure I agree/happy with your inclusion of that smile Toad. If the American conitations are the same as the English, i think its a bit strong in this instance.

:k9lmao:

I have the x52 and more than happy with it. I could'nt afford the pro at the time. I have been able to config it to suit me, although it is so versatile, I am still finding new and improved ways of mapping the functions. I have also just bought the pro pedals and they are great.

Vulching (vul-ching) To Vulch. The act of attacking by means of strafing and or rockets enemy aircraft parked or attempting to take off from an airfield. Players that "Vulch" are known as "Vulchers". On a friendly dog fight map, this is considered bad sportsmanship.

Its good to know your still out there Rog, watching over us.

have you checked the set up in case a dead zone has got set by accident? control panel/game devices/x52/properties (just in case you did'nt know, please excuse if you did!) Friar

i cant wait till i get mine in a couple of weeks.

All the best things come from Croydon

I have now copied it into the "utils" section of the vault. It should be ok for people to get from there now. Cheers Friar

what if you took all the sponges out of the ocean, what would happen to the water level?

it works on co-ops but not it seems dog fights

looks like its a non starter for a dog fight map Kling. I have looking through the zoo and someone asked the same question and got an answer that its not possible. I have been trying various things and keep getting the same results, the plane will airstart but not be sitting in the sea.

sorry I cant offer anything except my support and to say you will be missed......

although mine is an oldr machine with a small hd, I have mine down to 26

stand easy lads.....this is an urban myth.....I have seen it rubbished on a site somewhere, even the arrows are fed up with it and have posted to say its not true. when i find the link i'll post it
