JP -

i meant to say about ambient light - i often play with the central room light on, its reflections/lights in line of sight to the camera thats the problem

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! Not Elvis that is my worst nightmare, go to a Chinese restaurant for a nice meal and an Elvis impersonator comes on, its enough to make you puke in your won-ton soup

Salute JP! Just remember to watch out for background light on the tir and you will be fine. I sometimes to a quick check by going into the "view" option and clicking on the "tracking" tab. That should show 3 nice green blobs. If there is background light it will show as red patches. Useful for checking head movement as well. You can see if any of the blobs disapear which will mean that the camera will loose tracking. My weak spot was on looking up. As the top reflector went back the camera lost it. I cured it by raising the height of the camera and had it looking slightly down. It really is amazing when you add a bit of new tecnology to this game how often if makes it like finding it for the first time.

Following on from GK's post about an average Axis SEOW outing, please do yourself a favour and have a look at the following video by the same creator. His Polish story in two parts is also very clever and worth watching.

Happy birthday for sunday m8. from our brief meeting at duxford and from the ts channel you are, how do the young erks say it?, ah yes.."A diamond geezer" I shall raise a glass in the Priory to and perhaps get a couple of the sisters to do nice things to me in your honour. Cheers Mick, have a great day (except between 21:00 and 22:00gmt)

I am definatly on for that. I will probably do it in a day also, unless I can be persuaded to sleep in the back of the car at a camp site of course !

Yea, happy birthday. Come back and tell us how they do birthday parties in Wales

i watched some others last night, there is a mosquito mission which is really good as well. Very clever.

that really funny, had me giggling all the way, but what does the granny say at the end to finally crack everyone up, something about an "asshole" ?

fully allowing the canopy to slide back may be what was causing mine not to work, the gap between key preses was too short. I shall have to have a look at it again after taking it out.

Chris, Are you using the macro feature or multiple key presses? I had trouble with the macro feature getting all 3 commands to wotk for the canopy (toggle gunsight, open canopy, raise seat and the reverse to close lower seat, close canopy then toggle gunsight back

A candidate to be included...... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e1c_1199748135 :o :o

I have just come across the site below and thought those wishing to lean the skill may find it useful http://www.il2-fullmissionbuilder.com/index.php Cheers Friar

Hi, i have just sent you my .dat and .pro file. the penny has just dropped what the .pr0 file is DOH of course, to use my profile, you will also have to set the commands in the game to the same key mappings, but at least looking at it it might give you a few ideas of ways of doing it. i must say that it took 3 or 4 goes until i have come up with a layout that i am happy with.

the magic mouse is the mini hat and mouse wheel on the throttle. i did have a problem

The work I do with the Sisters up at the Priory is purly for their benifit, I take no personal pleasure in having semi naked women pappering to my evey wish and need. I offer my self to them in order that they develop the skills required to take to the outside world.

ok thanks chris

on a similar subject..... I am at a friends house who has a dell machine with a built in card reader, except that it is not working and apparently has not done so for some time ! what should show in the deveice manager for the unit? the light on the front does not illuminate when a card is inserted can any one give me some pointers as to get it working ta Friar

i think that those wishing to stay over will have trouble finding a hotel nearby now. when i checked with the red lion just before christmas they were fully booked for duxford. i tried a couple of other hotels and they were booked also.

make sure you do it in a backup folder. i dont know about seow compatability.

Still did'nt work for some reason i think Chris I am happy to disable connection and shut za down thanks for the info anyway. Cheers Colin.

This is probably a silly question, but here goes anyway. When I want to work an seow campaign, testing the mission planner etc, it only works if i shut down my zone alarm av/firewall suite. So to be safe, before shutting it down I pull the power lead from my router to isolate myself. My question is, to save keep doing this, can i just disable the connection through the control panel. When I do this i am not able to connect to the internet, i take it it would still stop traffic the other way? My router is a netgear dg834g

thats the way i shall be making any future tweaks, rest assured !

Having been looking at Darts training videos during the week I decided to modify my rudder setting. I currently fly with all 100's and do sometimes find it "twitchy" on straffing and bombing runs. Dart explains in his videos that you should not use the rudder at all on approach to such attacks. The upshot of this is that I used IL2Sticks to change my rudder setting to a smooth curve. I updated the conf.ini file and left it at that. Last night (Thursday) I settled into to the much looked forward to session, only to find that both the rotary dials on the throttle were not working. Klinger very kindly agreed to help sort it out and I must appologise for taking up his valuable flying time. The dials worked OK via the Control Panel/Game devices/properties. But when in the HOTAS section of the in-game controls set-up, I could click on a field e.g prop pitch but then turning the rotary gave no response. The other inputs were recognozed, throttle and flaps on the slider. I re-booted - same problem I unplugged and re-plugged the x52 - same problem I removed the stick via the device manager and re-installed it - same problem I had a look at the conf.ini file and found that there was a blank line between the settings for the rotarys and the other input axis. I took out the line (one assumes put there by il2sticks for some reason?) the dials then worked.......but the joystick buttons did'nt. Having first made a back-up of my profile, I uninstalled the sst software and tried to re-install it. Put the cd in but nothing happened. Downloaded the files form the saitek website, still nothing installed. Ran a registry cleaner and removed all entries for Saitek Tried again with the install of drivers and sst software. This time it all went ok and the X52 is now fully functional. Any one else tried using il2sticks when the x52 is plugged in?
