  1. Jericho Raid by Pathe News

    in Missions and mission building

    Posted

    I really enjoy flying Operation Jericho, cheers Tom for putting it together. One of the best parts is the feeling of realism in the mission, it works really well for me. Browsing through the 'net today I found a short Pathe News film about the raid that shows what we are out to achieve and how accurate we are in what we do! Brilliant stuff.

  6. Being Sid Viscous...

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    Pardon my perceived lack of understanding but from the DCS/Eagle Dynamics forums I believe my version of DCS World 1.5.5 will become DCS World 2.5 at some point in the future. I am asking because the Normandy map and assets looks very good and I would like to install them but can't because my version isn't ready for them yet. Is it worth downloading and installing DCS 2 and are all my current aircraft in 1.5.5 compatible?

  8. Theresa's flight, accompanied by Storm Doris...!

    in Jim's Place

    Posted

    Theresa (my daughter) flew from Eindhoven to Manchester today of all days. Storm Doris made it interesting.....

    "Take off was bumpy. Above the clouds was pretty. Manchester closed their airport while we were in-flight. Then they opened it for landing. Circled for landing for 20 minutes. Tried to land twice...couldn't. Got diverted to Liverpool. 10 minutes before landing at Liverpool a fight broke out. Three minutes to landing and a very drunk idiot decided to walk up and down the plane....laughing and cheering at himself while 100 people are screaming at him to sit his butt down. 1minute later he does it again and a woman passes out (bear in mind it feels like we're on a rollercoaster). The plane landed sideways.10 people threw up around me and we've been sitting on the plane for 25 minutes while police taserd said idoit. Police escorted the fighters off and the paramedics are here treating the woman who passed out. And due to the shortage of baggage handlers (we're not next to the terminal, out in an open parking spot) we're going to wait a while before we can get our luggage. I need ground beneath my feet...pronto. And someone please give this cabin crew a massive bonus #bumpyflight #groundnowplease#imtoooldforthis "

    Looking forward to a Dad Hug later when I pick her up from her uncle's in Droitwich, he was good enough to offer to pick her up so had to contend with the diversion.

  19. Geforce Gtx 970

    in Help!!

    Posted

    What card have you got? Not that it makes much difference because modern cards munch IL2 for breakfast. Can't do Clod though mate.

     

    Someone is bound to say different but these settings have worked well for me for years on cards from the old 6600GTX (the first card I could max it out on!!) up to the 970 I am using now.

     

    These NVIDIA settings are the ones you need to think about as the rest can be left as default as they have little or no impact on IL2:

     

    Anisotropic filtering = 16x

    Antialiasing - Mode = override application setting

    Antialiasing setting = 8x on big screens or x16 if you are running a resolution like 1920 x 1200

    Antialiasing - Transparency = Off

    Multi-display/mixed GPU = Single display

    Power management mode = Prefer maximum performance

    Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimisation = Off

    Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias = Clamp

    Texture filtering - Quality = Quality

    Threaded optimisation = Off

    Triple buffering = On

    Vertical sync = On

     

    Make sure your game resolution is the same as your screen resolution.

  20. Saitek Driver Problem - Solved

    in Hardware Hell

    Posted

    Back to normal on a clean win10 64bit install  :) Using old 2007 vintage saitek drivers for x52pro stick and rudder and the windows generic usb driver for the 2 lever quadrants. Stick and rudder were recognised by the newer mad catz (saitek replacement) driver and programming software but the profiles wouldn't work in game. Levers weren't being recognised when the driver was being installed using the old or new saitek software so I plugged in the usb, went to device manager, selected the hardware that had appeared with the yellow triangle and installed from it's properties window by searching for compatible software on the computer. Had options for mad catz driver and saitek driver when i installed the second lever quadrant but ignored them and stayed with the generic usb driver. Works a treat. Old saitek programming software and away we go!! Probably took me 3 hours of searching and trying different suggestions, pleased it was something relatively simple.

  21. Incorrect Keyboard Commands - Sorted

    in Hardware Hell

    Posted

    ~S~ chaps

     

    Not seen anyone else posting about this or heard it on chatter. I had a problem in the past few days where some of my keyboard commands were producing the wrong symbol eg. @ and " were reversed, so were £ and #. I think it was because of a windows 10 update but I haven't been around a week or so so haven't noticed it. Tried a different keyboard, same issue.

     

    Looked online and found a thread that said downloading the regional language pack was the answer and will put everything back. I went into my settings, found the language setting was English US and that English UK is a downloadable option. I downloaded English UK for language and keyboard. This now replaces English US and worked a treat.

    That is sweet Sid. I like how people put hem in pre-existing fire places.

     

    Yep, small metal flue sealed up into the original brick chimney. Access plate few feet above for the sweep to get in with his brushes. Easy peasy.
