Glad you like it, it's always good to get positivity from someone in the know.... Bit messy but that's a piccie of my X52 and quadrant setup. Like Friar, I also use rudder pedals for steering and throttle for forward/reverse. A lot of the key mappings, especially those on the quadrant, probably don't get used very much. I did the setup as an exercise to include as many of the available mappings as possible. As Friar says, some of the mappings are double mapped with aircraft mappings but it doesn't make any difference to either because they aren't being used at the same time. The key mappings written mext to the action are there to remind me of either the default setting or one I have changed it to. Cheerzen Sid

Hi Billy and welcome to the pound!! There are plenty of people here for advice and will point you in whatever direction you wish to go....just ask. there is no such thing here as a stupid question....I think....

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/75629-announcing-the-churchill-mkiv-tank-stug-iii-ausfg-mobile-assault-gun-and-iar-8081-pre-orders/ I thought correctly

Here is a great piece of work by Kappone - an airfield reference database. Useful for briefings. level bombing runs....screenshots showing spawn points for example. https://www.il2art.altervista.org/index.html

I really like the dials on a second monitor. Can be put on an Android too. Looking forward to the engine management dials being usable.

Once I had asked a couple of questions and sussed out a couple of things the installation is a breeze. Download the 'Windows Server' and the 'Windows Client' from the links. Install the server, I put it on a drive of my choosing, and it creates a folder called 'IL-2 Dials' and a desktop shortcut. Unzip the client to the 'IL-2 Dials' folder (I got rid of one of the folders that are unzipped and brought the files up a folder level...might not need to do it but it's me tidying up) I created a desktop shortcut of the 'IL-2 Dials' application found in the client folder. Run the server. Click on the settings icon in the bottom left corner and tick the 'Local Client (IP 127.0.0.1). This needs to be done if you are using the two screens on the same computer. Run the client. Tick the 'Don't show me again' reminder about downloading the server, click on the bars at the bottom and click the wireless button. Where it says 'Automatic Scan' enter in 127.0.0.1. Drag the box onto the second screen. That's the setting up done. Run the game. When you start a mission, actually flying, the gauges appear in the client box. Away you go!

I have been trying this utility here https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/71086-il-2-dials-instrument-panel-app/?tab=comments#comment-1138624 It works on my second monitor very well. I have been wanting to do this for ages...looks like Jason approves because he has pinned it.... This is a screenshot of my desktop showing the dials as I see them, off to the right of my main monitor. The maker is ironing out bugs and then he will look to including engine management dials. Great stuff...clever chap

Looking great....can't wait, very excited

I'm there!

Perhaps quite a bit more comfortable..... 😬 I'm afraid I won't be there tomorrow Fen 😕, evening out with Suzi 🙂

Rodger dodge 👍

Are you happy keeping the Tiffies Fen?

Nope, not this one. Not a big deal, everything works fine. I understand the need for security but I feel it's a way to make people upgrade....

Cheers Jabo. Still not sure if mine will take it as my mobo doesn't have the extra security software needed....that was a few months back though, perhaps the criteria have changed

Hi Mainz, thanks for dropping in and saying hello Give us a try, we are a very unique bunch and we enjoy the chat and banter as much as the flying. We are lucky to have our own dedicated private Dogz servers that are running 24/7 so it's great to drop in and find peeps there at all hours. Cheerzen

Oooo, nice info I suggest that the two new tanks will be the StuG III and a Churchill Mark III or IV.....reason being they were around at Kursk and most other common tanks are available already https://www.forces.net/news/battle-kursk-clash-tanks . Be great if it is these as they will drop into other scenarios too.

Thanks for putting your deck up Bob, it works a treat for controlling the AI. I flew a flight of 4 A20s and they did as they were told every time. This has given me another level of control that doesn't need mapping on my controls I only have an Android phone but it works a treat. +1 from me.
