All installed and running 4.03. Now I don't have the slightest idea how to optimise so the learning curve begins. Will spend some time with one of you chaps whenever

Wow....you are organised! Thank you for the very appropriate role

Sid's in. Wall bombing please.

Love it

Still with World of Tanks, over 3 years now......your fault Arthur Got some lovely kit but only by putting the hours in and being prepared to part with a bit of cash for 'Gold'. Don't use 'Premium' ammunition but am happy to buy a 'Premium' tank once in a blue moon. Working towards a T62 Russian medium but love playing tank destroyers...got many types from different countries from 88mm armed JagdTigers down to to 6 pdr on a Bren Carrier (piccie is a JagdPanther)

Ha Ha Ha very good

~S~ Pete, nice to see you on here

looks like fun.....some hours will be spent on this I'm sure

Nice one FT, forgot to mention that as it is so long since I installed it Been using this for years.

And they ended up as widow makers. Many of the Wacos built under licence fell apart due to sub standard working practices and parts. Some licence holders contracted to build eventually didn't build any as they couldn't do it - lots of law suits by US Government. From https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/aerospace-defense/the-flying-coffins-of-world-war-ii 'The Waco Aircraft Company of Troy, OH, a niche manufacturer of civilian airplanes, won the contract to design and build America's first combat glider. Big names like Ford, along with a dozen or so smaller firms, also won glider contracts, but only if they weren't already producing powered aircraft for the war effort. With more than 70,000 parts to assemble and with little or no standardization, some manufacturers produced a few duds, with sometimes tragic results. The wide range of expertise among these contractors, as well as an early lack of standardization of the 70,000-plus individual parts, caused pilots and mechanics no shortage of headaches and more than a few tragedies. MacRae recalls an incident that nearly scrapped the glider program less than a year before its D-Day triumph. In August 1943, a Saint Louis-based contractor invited the city's mayor and other dignitaries to experience the excitement of a glider flight before an airshow audience of 5,000. Aghast spectators watched as a glider abruptly lost a wing at 2,000 feet and crashed in front of the grandstand, killing all onboard. After ruling out sabotage, investigators traced the cause of the crash to a faulty bolt provided by a subcontractor in the coffin business.'

Yes....IL2 Stab. I use it http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=2169

Very good Made oi chuckle

Hmmm....info found here http://rhorta.home.xs4all.nl/jgstruc.htm Game appears to have 'Regiment' as the Gruppe within the Geschwader ie. Group within a Wing. That is right as there are 3 Gruppe and a HQ flight (Stab) within a Gruppe. Then you pick the Staffel using 'Squadron' (again, 4 is correct number) and then the 'Flight' would be the Schwarm (2 x 2 Rotte making 4). Using the game you would choose your Jagdgeschwader ie. Gruppe 1,2,3 or Stab of JG51, then your Staffel within the Gruppe ie. 1 of 4 and lastly your individual aircraft in your Schwarm consisting of 4 aircraft. The codes we see as icons eg. White < to 16 are the Staffel IDs (4 flights of 4). Rotte The Basic fighting unit. Comprising a leader (Rottenführer) and wing-man (Katchmarek). During cruising flight the two aircraft flew almost in line abreast about 200yd apart, each pilot concentrating his search inwards so that he covered his partner's blind areas. In combat it was the wing-man's duty to guard his leader's tail, while the latter did the fighting. Schwarm Two Rotte made up a Schwarm, with the leading Rotte flying to one side and slighty ahead of the other (finger Four). The Rotte and Schwarm are both TACTICAL formations. The better/more experienced pilot leads, skill is the decisive factor NOT rank and/or seniority. Staffel Nominal strength of 12 aircraft. A Staffel formation comprised of three Schwärme stepped up in line astern. The staffel was the lowest grade of formation within the organisation. Commanded by a Staffelkapitän usually an Oberleutnant or Hauptmann, members of it's flying personnel would supervise the technical and signals branches as secondary duties. Late in the war some Staffeln had their numbers raised to 16 aircraft on strength nominally. Gruppe Initially in the Gruppe comprised three Staffeln and a Stab (Headquarters flight), later in the war a fourth Staffel was added. The Stab flight consisted of 3-4 a/c. The Gruppe was the basic flying unit for operational and administrative purposes. When orders were given for moves of flying units, the recipients were usually Gruppen. Normally one complete Gruppe occupied a single airfield, occationally individual Staffeln might be detached from their parent Gruppe for operational reasons or to re-equip. The Gruppe commander carried the title of Kommandeur (Kdr.) and was usually a Hauptmann or a major, under his command he had an adjudant, specialist technical officers and a medical officer. Geschwader Initially the Geschwader comprised of three Gruppen and a Stab, later in the war a fourth Gruppe was added. The Geschwader was the largest German flying unit to have a fixed nominal strength. Originally it had been intended that the component Gruppen of each Geschwader should operate together from adjecent airfields, but under the stress of war this soon broke down. The Geschwader commander held the title of Kommodore (Kdore), and was usaully a Major, Oberstleutnant or Oberst. His Staff included and adjudant, an operations officer, an intelligence officer, a navigation officer, technical officers, a signal officer and such other specialist officers as the nature of the unit and task might dictate. Number of Aircraft in a Jagdgeschwader Stab (±4 a/c) 3-4 Gruppen (each Gruppe also a Stab flight of 4 a/c) 3-4 Staffeln in each Gruppe 12-16 aircraft in each Staffel Hope this helps Cheerzen

There is one Mr P but it is a vacform where you have to cut the parts out of sheet http://www.largescaleplanes.com/Marketplace/lsp_kitlist/kit_details.php?kit=708 Don't know how available it is, there was one on ebay a while back but it was sought after and was expensive. Also, reviews said it was a pig of a kit, nothing like building an injection moulding like we're used to...... I built the 1/32 Hunter like this....now that is up for a revamp. Thinking about 'Miss Demeanor'.......

Bid and got it at £25 plus £5.20 postage. Worth it at that as it is pristine condition in the box when you consider a new one is over £30 to buy before postage is put on...probably saved myself a tenner. However, by the time I've got some after market extras to detail it a bit more........ This is definitely going to end up a weathered old Aunty

One day I WILL be proved right............ One day in a parallel universe.....

Went into my local model shop and he had a Revell 1/48 Ju52 civilian airliner...not my cup of tea. Looked good as a kit so looked on net and on ebay for military version and found this.... Knock down price, box a bit battered but everything there and looking good. Supposed to be one of the best kits available so looking forward to it. Little bro, ex Para, loves the German Fallschirmjager. Kit comes with some figures so I'll build it with him in mind Damn you ebay......must stop looking

Now what it needs is a system of moving it in reaction to stick input......

Cool.....want one
