Here is the serious stuff... Aimbots... for FB I can upload the track if anyone wants, but this copy/paste of the readme should tell you all you need to know: The file TrueAim_Cheat.ntrk demonstrates how effectively the new TrueAim Cheatcode for IL-2 works. As you will see, I've started with a single P-40, against two Me 109 F4, three Me 110 G2 and a sixpack of Opel Blitz Trucks. First of all let me tell you that the TrueAim works best with caliber .50. Get a plane with as much guns as you can. Late P-51, Corsair, F4-U and P-47 are most preferrable. The amazing thing about TrueAim is that you can configure it IN FLIGHT, selecting your preffered hitzone. In case of an admin showing up, you can even switch it off instantly to avoid unnecesarry trouble. First victim: 109 #2. Setting: Critical Wing-Hit. First blow misses the nodepoint of the wingstructure for a few inches, but the second one sends the 109 down. Second victim: Bf109 #1. Setting: Critical Tank-Hit. Right on the first burst, the tank is set on fire, one second later it goes off. This setting is most suitable for guaranteed Pilot kills. So you can whipe away enemy resistance pretty easily. Coming to the Me 110, you will recognize the only disadvantage of TrueAim: It doesn't work so well in head ons. This is because of the great amounts of lead that you have to pull. So take your time, and cream their asses rather than their heads. ;-) Third victim: 110 #2. Setting: Critical Wing-Hit plus Anti-Admin. This feature is beta still, so you won't find it on the current releases. It allows you to misfire some shots, so it doesn't look that suspicious. Anyway, the 110 is doomed. Fourth victim: 110 #3. Setting: TrueAim OFF. Here you can see how easily you can swap off TrueAim in case of an Admin being nearby. The 110 takes major hits, but only loses a landing wheel (LOL!) and some oil. On the next approach, i switch back to TrueAim, selecting Critical Motor hit. The result is quite impressive on the 110, because the motor nodepoints are almost identical with the wing nodepoints, so you get a cut-off wing along with a burning motor pretty often. Fifth victim: 110 #1. Setting: Critical Fuselage-Hit. Take note that extreme angles between the flight paths are bad for TrueAim. Settle down behind your enemy, before you blow him. Fuselage is a rather longlasting target, especially on bigger planes. They've got plenty of nodepoints, which have to be taken out one by one. Also take note, that you aren't safe from gunners' fire! Last victims: Ground targets. One thing to remember is, that the tool needs some time to settle on ground targets, because there are so many different types of them. Switch to Critical Ground Hit, wait for TrueAim to settle on the targets and then let them have it! Groups of similar targets are easily destroyed, because TrueAim can jump from one object to the next while you're firing. Have fun! Have fun, indeed. Don't know if I much like this. Freelancer

Hi sged First off, I should say how much I like your designs. I spent a lot of time admiring them while I was dead the last time you were hosting a game I was in. Those wing bumps can be a real pain for skinners. I don't know the Spit void all that well to say with authority but usually things like that are a spot somewhere that is mirrored for all the bumps. Here is a perfect example on a B-239. The only place on the skin I put the black colour is under "A", yet it's mirrored in four other spots on the two wings. Because of this I had to change my original cammo scheme. Sometimes I have to wonder at the original designers of some of these skins. After you spend some time with more of the voids you will discover all kinds of annoying little glitches. Some skinners simply ignore them and others end up having to rethink their design to take them into account. Either way a PITA! Freelancer

Hi all, A question: I like taking screen shots and I like using Fraps to do it with as there is more flexibility that the built in. In Fraps you have the option of saving your pics as BMP, JPG or PNG. What I'm wondering is, are there major differences in quality between these different compressions? As a rule I usually save as a Bmp and convert to jpeg for the web. I personally don't find much loss in this method, but, alas... my eyes are not those of a younger man and I may just be not noticing. In fact, I don't see much difference between a jpeg and a gif aside from maybe some very minor pixelation in the gif. Any advice in this would be appreciated, Freelancer

A question. As I've remapped all my keys and F6 is now a Fraps control, can someone tell me what F6 is actually used for? And why it is considered a bad thing? Thanks, Freelancer

My view: Ones mans vultching is another mans straffing. I enjoy dodging flack and taking out aircraft on the ground. It also teaches the enemy to fly CAP and cover thier airbase. As for externals. I never use 'em unless I'm dead and bored. That said, if it's a D/F server you don't need to stay dead so there is no real need for them.

I've partied with Burton. Nice guy and likes to, how shall I say, drink like a thirsty camel. Ask him when he's coming back to Healey's. You should have an interesting evening! Oops, :oops: Just noticed the date of your post. What I meant to say was "How did it go?".

Hi I just ran across this app over at Airwarfare and thought it may help the hosts with cataloging thier missions. Then again, maybe not. Have a look here: http://www.airwarfare.com/Sims/FB/fb_es ... es.htm#027 It's called Mission Saver Cheers, Freelancer

My joystick gets all tingley just thinking about this one...

As much as my wallet gets itchy just thinking about it, I'll prolly hold off a month as it will be able to purchaced at half the release price somewhere. Then I can put the money saved into a much needed new video card. Oh, and a new motherboard to hold it. And the new monitor so as not to waste the updated graphics and ... Freelancer

Or, you could just go into your configuration utility and turn everything off under the Start up tab that you don't need (which is pretty much everything, short of your firewall and anti-virus). Then you have one less program to remember to fire up when getting ready to play. You will also have a slightly faster boot. BTW, I just noticed. In the permissions it says I can moderate this forum. What is that all about? I don't even have a little title under my name. I'm still a nobody. A nobody who can moderate this forum. Who'da thought? Do we all get to do that? Could be scary. Freelancer

If you send it, they will come! Yes, please Freelancer

Just a little bump to get this post noticed since Wed is coming up fast. Anyone else have a interest in flying on Wednesdays? Freelancer

Nice setup guitarman! Is that Z-Board all it's cracked up to be?

Hi B G, I have one of these: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/ ... No=1112201 Hands off and works like a charm. If you are willing to make the trip down here where all us civilized folks live, you can hit the Spadina-College strip and pick one up in a smaller or larger capacity as needed. You get the drive, software, hookup all in the package. Trully a plug & play solution. BTW, I recently picked up on of the new 150 gig Raptors and I can't get it to play nice with my motherboard. Any help would be appreciated. Lot of money to pay for a paper weight! Freelancer

Hi Cold_Gambler I don't have any numbers for you, but there is a frame rate hit. Not much, though. I needed to drop my resolution down from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024 to stay smooth when the flak starts up in a Pacific battle group. Base specs: P4@3Ghz, 1gig DDR 400, X850xtPE BUT...Enough about mine. Lets see some pics of youze guys stuff! Freelancer

Just a quick thank you to all the fine pilots who took the time (on short notice) to help me get in a little practice. Cheers to all, Freelancer PS. I would be open to a regular Wed night get together. If there is enough interest?

Hi doubletap, After failing orienteering in grade nine, I have found the need for the crutch of a compass rose to figure out where I'm pointed when it says 54 degrees. So that is usually front and center. Then I have TS up so I can tell who I'm talking too without the need of TS Overlay. I usually have a map up if I'm flying in the online wars as the pop-up in game map is really next to useless in full switch. Really, though, there are a ton of things you can have. Stats for the A/C you'll be flying against or a movie for those long Pacific flights :wink: Cheers Freelancer

Just plug 'em into your video card. Then right click somewhere on your desktop and select Settings in the Display Properties box. Click on Monitor 1 and tick the "Use this device as the primary monitor" box. Then, click on monitor 2 and tick the "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" box. Hit Apply and you're good to go :wink: Freelancer

Not sure if this has been done yet. But I think it would be interesting to see what we all fly with. I'll Start: First, the Game Master And here is the office. Bit amateur, but it works for me:) I've since added (much to the annoyance of the neighbors) a Logitech Z-5300E Surround system. At three, it's rattling the pictures on the wall :twisted: Cheers, Freelancer

I'm good to go anytime after I shovel this Falafal down. Say.. sevenish till the wee hours EST. Cheers, Freelancer

So...why does everyone say wenzday? After some creative juggling, I finally have a night free of kids and work But it's Wednesday Any chance of someone hosting missions on these days? I might be able to if there is any interested parties. Someone would have to tell me, though, if my system is up to spec and then send me some missions. Let's here from you. Freelancer
