Does anyone know what kind of powerplant pulls that IL-2?
Prolly a licence-built Allison
Kidding aside, I agree that one of a kind is very special - to the point of being unique...
I'll get my coat.

Actually I'm led to believe it is in fact an original (reconditioned of course) AM-38.
Check the video again and you'll notice the cowlings all seem accurate to the type, plus the tell tale sign is the rotation of the propeller which is the opposite to an Allison.
I stand corrected, it is indeed Allison powered, and must have an opposite handed gearbox from a P-38 or summat. Whatever, it's a beauty!
It was restored in the same facility that recently brought the Mig-3 back to life and rumour has it that the IL-2 is set to join the Fw-190 at the Flying Heritage Collection stateside.
WHAT MIG 3? Where? Show me...NOW!!!
Ahhh....this MiG 3. Sounds Allison powered too

Laughed out loud.....caught me right. Nice one Papa

I kind of lost interest after the first beta and until the AA and multicore issues are sorted I'm going to be patient (which is really quite rare for me at least), I do have a quick blast maybe once a week in the forlorn hope I was wrong about the abortion that is SoW (ClOD is still a stoopid name).
Ditto Zooly. However, I haven't touched it for months.

Just saw it now Mick.
It still makes me a little uneasy
Especially since we were under it.5 seconds mate...
There was one other clip I have seen. Taken from, I'd approximate 20-30 feet below and to the right of where we sat.
Not seen either of those. The impact on the first one still makes me jump...the second one shows just how close it was to us. There are many vids to see about it, but those are 2 of the clearest I've seen.
It is still very vivid in my mind, the sound of the impact as much as anything.

Sounds, and looks, like a great day was had
Thanks for sharing.

You don't really need the other things mr P, the Nvidia updater is just an auto updater, which is quite unnecessary. All you really need is the driver, which you have installed.
Quite right.
There is a way to ensure a completely fresh install, 'gis a call if you want to go through it.

You there?

Great start to the morning...lol.

Whip aerial...or any aerial. Have you ever 'stretched sprue'?
Not sure what it's called now, I always knew it as the sprue - it's the carrier that the parts you are using are cut from.
Take a length about 6" long. Hold both ends in your hands (one in each!!) and gently heat it over a flame/heat source eg. gas or electric hob, for a couple of seconds and, when you can see it start to droop, take it away from the heat source and slowly stretch it by moving your hands apart. Get it to the thickness you want and stop - it cools very quickly so practice a few times. Usually the 6" length of sprue has doubled in length and gives you a thin line of plastic that can be used as aerial wire, handles, cables etc. Secure in place at the end of building with a dab of super glue or resin.
Grey plastic is good as it looks the right colour.
Don't try this at home, children, WITHOUT adult supervision........'Matches, matches never touch....they can hurt you very much!'

Looks good so far, Nick! C - wing?
BTW - I just saw a link online for a 1/32 Typhoon in resin from a company in the UK for £70 and £10 shipping - I'm thinking about it........
Ooooo, oooooo - I just posed it to the missus, and she ok-ed it! Go figure! Ordering now.......
That's a nice kit Pete. I've never seen 1/32 wings cast as one before - the Typhoon is chunky so those are impressive castings.

Duxford one day? Can but dream.......

IF I can ever get fully patched up..... Seem to have a working RC4 now, but only 4 mods. Can I copy the mods over from my 2.01 install? And do I need to install the Dogfight server?
Only 4 mods is correct OT. When flying with us, enable 'UP RC4' ONLY, otherwise there could be issues.
Copying over Mods may be a bit fraught with complications due to compatibilities - no definitive answer I'm afraid. I have some additional mods in a '#UP#' folder that I created in the main folder - that's the way it's done in this UP.
No, you don't need to install the dogfight server. You, like most of us, are a 'client'.

MT: if we let the DDz RoF team grow, there may not be enough sheep to go around.
Let's be practical here.
Hey JP, so...
looks like we'll have to share the sheeps 
There are competitions for that...oh no. sorry........that's sheep shearing
Welcome Navy, even if it is to the 'Splitters'

No OT, this is an unmodded game. It's the original disc game updated from 4.07 to 4.08m, 4.08m to 4.09m, 4.09m t0 4.10m and then 4.10m t0 4.101m. I'll find you a link........
This is in the Vault http://dangerdogz.com/forums/files/file/511-il-2-megapatch4101m-enrar/ - it takes a new install straight up to 4.101m

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise for the stupid comments I make after having had only one drink and the completely unnecessary burping after two drinks, whether it be during co-ops or when meeting face to face.........only I'm not going to apologise. I don't need to.
Being one of the Dogz means I can be the real me. Being one of the Dogz allows me to really relax, to chill and enjoy my favourite hobby in the company of friends that accept me as I am. I haven't enjoyed myself so much for years. Thank you for allowing me in.
Your advice and support have helped me and your courage and dogged determination have inspired me. A person's legacy, I really believe, is not measured by what they do - it's measured by how they make you feel when you think of them. I think of you as a gentleman, a comrade and a friend.

~S~ mate!
Fully understand your problem, but still missed you tonight
Look out for a Youtube vid that BluBear is hoping to get up tonight.

The countdown can start.......

Love 'em....
The piccies.....not the Hens! Well, maybe....Brilliant! Was fun avoiding the security geezers in the American Museum

Just confirming.....that's a 8pm GMT start as Dogz time is currently 1 hour behind.

I've been watching this with interest all day GK.
I have had it loaded onto my hard drive since Day 1 but have run the game offline for a total of 13 hours - to be honest I didn't think it was that much but that is the Steam figure.
I haven't enjoyed it. Too many bugs and glitches and until antialiasing is sorted out I won't take it seriously. I will be flying IL2 for a loooong time yet, probably some Rise of Flight too. That looks nice and behaves itself.

~S~ Colin m8,
I think it would have sounded better if maybe just Tom and Chris had sung it but it sure did impress that "hen" party !! LOL
~S~ Toneless.
To the point where a Hen approached me and said that they (the Hen Party) wished that they, quote "....had spent some time with you lot instead of going out. You seemed to be having fun!" unquote
I agreed, saying that we indeed had had great fun and also that it's a shame the Hens didn't join us as their presence would have enhanced our evening greatly.
The Hen suggested that she could enhance my evening greatly if I wanted.
I coyly suggested that I didn't need any enhancements as I was happy with what I had.
She laughed and playfully slapped my shoulder.
At this, we both knew what should be happening that night.
She leant toward me and said "I cant invite you back to my room, I'm in with my sister"
I said, with a cheeky wink, that's not a problem......
She giggled, and said "Your room would be fine, I'm sure" And, nodding towards a figure behind me, said "Any way your pet monkey could go elsewhere for the night....?"
I knew without turning that I was scuppered....I didn't need to look......'effin Painless....again.....
Blown out.
PS The quote is true.
