Problem is that when you add

Welcome BSword. RE TIR - have you considered a TrackClip instead of the hat reflectors? I find it's significantly better at the outer edges of the sensor range

Indeed. ~S~ doc.

Painless had it last time I heard - something about 'working through some personal issues'... Welcome Shadrach.

Time to break out the soldering iron I think - I'm sure I have a spare servo somewhere here. Jabo

1Hr and 11 mins here - Snow's all melting though so...

I'd probably buy that...

Typical.

Nice part of the world you're in there Swep, bit chilly though. Good pics too. Jabo

Yeah, I missed it, thanks for that Delta

It's good to see you're over that JP.

I'd agree with OT, my X52 Pro suffers with the same issues, but they're so minor, the good features of the stick by far outweigh them.

You've got the name right JP, yeah, they had to continue on course for 30 seconds after the drop so they would get a shot of their bombs exploding. Failure to do so once led to some tough questions for the crew back at base, failure twice would mean being branded LMF and demoted to the lowest possible ranks including loss of commission for officers. Bomber Command were tough on what was viewed as cowardice to the point where there were several recorded instances of men taking their own lives rather than have LMF stamped on their records. Jabo

A shot from a few weeks back when Jedi and I were playing with the UP1.8

Awesomeness - rofl, I did the same thing the first time I installed UP 1.8. Doh doh doh doh DOH!

No. They're not taking bookings yet, and no block bookings in any case. I'm ringing them daily at the moment in the hope they'll get bored, and let us get started. Keep your powder dry for a couple of days and we'll see. As soon as I know, you'll know. Jabo

...erm

I've just tried it on my Win 7 rig, and there are some small improvements over normal working

There is another way to do this by setting the 'Affinity' of the process (in Task Manager) to run in one core. I have mine set up like this to run the IL2FB.exe on core 1 and TS on core 2

None I'm afraid m8, IL2 was written to run on single core machines, and it doesn't know how to take advantage of a multicore system. Your h/w though, that's a different matter. Multicore systems with 64-bit OS's can be very quick indeed, which will have a direct impact on startup & shutdown speeds, amongst other things. Just as an example, my rig running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit is 20% faster (via PassMark) than the same rig running Windows XP Pro 32-bit. That's quite a lot in my view and I've had no serious driver issues with my joystick, TIR etc etc etc. Jabo

Thanks for the recommendation Kelly, I'll keep an eye open for it. In 'First Light' by Geoffery Wellum, there's a good bit where they're flying Spitfires off carriers in the Med to relieve the Hurri's on Malta. Thirty-odd spits with operational overload of fuel and not a bullet between them - the ammo bays were packed with cigarettes! Another great read if you can find it - and you'll need to look in the second-hand bookshops, is a book called 'The Ship Busters' (it's from the '50's) recounting the development of the RAF's torpedo capability during the war through the story of 22 Squadron, who operated Beauforts and Beaufighters from Malta during the time the Axis powers were desperately trying to resupply Rommel in North Africa.

~S~ JP, nice piccies. True, 18 Gladiators were delivered by HMS Glorious in early 1940, although not fully assembled. Six were subsequently moved on to other theatres (Norway and Egpyt). A flight of aircraft were assembled and test flown during April 1940 although whether this was a flight of three or six is unclear. Two of these were lost, and two more of the kits were assembled. During the ten days that the Gladiators defended Malta, more than three aircraft were deemed operational, although not always at the same time. It was only later that names were given to the aircraft. from "Gladiator At War" N5520 is Faith though, there are pictures of her on Malta in 1940. Apparently there are moves afoot to have the fuselage shifted to the Malta Air Museum where there are a set of wings waiting for it. It would appear that the fuselage incorporates parts from at least one other Gladiator, but given the way in which aircraft were maintained during the war, this is not surprising. It's a bit like the axe of my grandfather - the head and handle have been replaced many times, but it's still his axe. Jabo
