Hi Bishop, nice to hear from you Great offer, and it's the sort of thing we like. I imagine there will be interest and enough Dogz straining at their leashes wanting to get involved....me for one. Cheerzen Sid

Happy Birthday Gents Hope it's a good 'un!

Cheers Gec, much appreciated

~S~ chaps Do we have a map running on the Dangerdogz server? There are times when we are short of hosts on a Sunday and would like to fly around.....I know there is an answer, get hosting yourself but not always possible. Any maintenance required?

The advert was on the London Underground and was taken down the same day, hopefully before too much upset.

As you have done AP, starting point is 4.12.2, however you get to it. Then apply Modact 5.3 only. Then it has to be module 1, which is the maps that all the other 3 flight eras use. Then module 2, module 3 and module 4. It doesn't matter which of the flight era modules goes first, they are all optional and totally separate from eachother. Just make sure the separate module parts go in order and yes, you overwrite any files that the installation asks to be overwritten.

It's my other IL2 install Intended for single player use, it's the product of months and months of trial and error, install and testing to give the most stable and interesting mod pack out there. Three scenarios are covered...WW1 (with Gothas and Zeppelins) 30's to WW2 and after including Korea, Vietnam, F4 Phantoms, Tu Bears and F18s. Still moddable, enables me to fly stuff we Dogz don't

+1 Blubear!

Could be Pook, I guess it adds to the story by giving it an uncertain end, just like it was on ops.

Well worth a look http://the-man-shed.com/lancaster-movie-review/ A tribute to bomber crews everywhere, but thinking of my Uncle Phil, lost over Germany in a Stirling, April 1942. Salute to them all.

Good luck, and thanks for what you do at M4T

very good

Practice is one of the keys, checking height the target is above sea level and deducting that from altimeter height and airspeed. There are tables for true airspeed around that are useful but I found the most important physical motion thing to check is maintaining a constant airspeed that keeps the crosshairs on the target. Many other things too I'm sure but it is good fun to do.

Thanks Arthur, fantastic link. They make great desktops too A great study of aircraft in the hellcat/sbd/flightdeck piccie....shows how much variation in the finish there is and how different the camo lines are demarcated...just right for model painters. Until you see these raw piccies you don't realise, especially as an awe struck kiddie, just how uniformity went overboard and randomness was acceptable in times of strife. Contrast that with the gleaming dig out tools on the gun carrier Monty and Ike were in...bull was still necessary when they dropped in. Are those shovels painted? Ever tried to use a painted shovel....waste of time. Natural, washed off and lightly oiled gives the best finish and performance for shovels....same goes for a woman too apparently

Various forums on the interweb come up with variations in advice so I would say that there is no hard and fast rule. For example, the official nvidia site http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/IO_13955.html says to uninstall first before upgrading the card and then reinstall new drivers (even though they could be the same ones). Doesn't give a reason why. A forum on the 'Geforce' site https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/687029/video-card-upgrade-driver-question/ says a little bit more but says both ways is ok. Tom'sHardware http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/315235-33-installing-graphics-card-steps says it isn't necessary but the comments on forums are a personal view from a non-tech person perhaps. As it is so easy to do I use the update system for drivers on my nvidia and don't remove when going from one driver version to another. However when replacing a card I always uninstall the current drivers, put in the new card and reinstall new ones. I feel that as it is new hardware I am allowing the card to be properly configured instead of using computer settings (not graphics card settings) that were configured by different hardware. Just me but this gives me peace of mind instead of wondering if it's properly configured and if I'm getting the most from the expensive picture-producing-electrical-thing I've invested in. Cheerzen

What a bummer....I'll keep mine as is for the time being methinks. Cheerzen ODH

Epic...really epic! Well done FT...mucho impressed

I have had that issue a few times over the years Dave...turned out it was a conflict with other controller software, one being the Belkin N52 gaming pad. Uninstalled it and it was fine.

That's just a trailer..!! I'm all excited now......

I'm in. Mossie...can do section lead. Done it before so will be a numpty if required... x

Cheers dave
