Good news m8. I take it you've solved your SLI+Win7 problems then?
Jabo
Yep. I PM'd you earlier....did you not get it?

Something I found today was that I was getting micro stutters from the 2 x Nvidia 8800GTX I'm running in sli.
I tried the available options for the sli setup found within the 'Control Panel' but to no avail so kept them at 'Nvidia Recommended', default for IL2.
I remember having stutter free sli when I was running XP so I knew it was down to a setting. Most of my graphics settings stay the same and I tweak very few so I changed from 'High Quality' to 'High Performance'. Bingo, stutter free sli and it looks absolutely no different. This is with the 'Trilinear' and 'Anisotropic' optimisations set to 'On' also - in 'High Quality' these are defaulted to 'Off' and unchangable through tghe 'Control Panel'.
Try it, it may help your setup.

Yeeeah, another convert
!Since I've been running the instrument gauges and warning lights on another monitor via UDPSpeed I've not been using the messages having switched them off via 'IL2 Stab'. Very immersive, and like you say, not knowing if you hit or downed anything makes for a surprise at the end of the mission.

I recommend you Nvidia users look at this thread. It is very useful and gives excellent descriptions of the various settings. It looks as if it is all about SLI setup for multiple cards but bear with it and read on, it isn't very long.

OMG - that's a better selection than my local model shop!
Nice pics, btw.

also i had a little program that i used to run and it would let me choose differant gfx level and resoultions, keys etc, its not the original il2 one, but one with a plane noise at the start, can remember that either
thx
That will be 'IL2 Stab', found at Mission4Today here http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=2169

Great find SP...I'm going to include it in my Hazardous Materials training package at work. I will use it the day before I finish as I doubt I will have a job soon afterwards....

Ta ta old monitor, Hi new one!

Thanks Dave, plenty of scope for browsing there.
Oh, and thanks Rog, good idea to start a section for modellers......

The small paint reservoir cylinder that clips onto the side flew off! I connected the air can to the airbrush and turned it on. I had a little spit of paint through the vent hole on the cylinder lid, then when I pushed the airbrush lever to start spraying the lid popped off, the force popping off the reservoir and sending it somewhere behind the chest freezer...where it can stay!

I think we ought to have a modeller's area - hints and tips and to show off stuff, watcha think?
This is a thread on a 1/48 scale 'Trumpeter' (as opposed to Airfix or Revell) MiG3. I haven't built a plane for years but still have some gear and the paint collection. Anyway, I have restarted this hobby and wanted to build something to try out a few techniques. I should have taken more photos but maybe next time.
It's built 'out of the box' apart from adding a pilot figure and some finer exhausts.
This is the cockpit under construction
A few more bits added and the aircraft is taking shape
Still a WIP, but now with paint and markings applied and awaiting a weathering wash, exhaust heat and smoke marks and varnishing, matt (flat) finish on the wooden areas ie, rear fuselage and wings and a satin on the metal areas.
I intend putting it on a stand as if flying. The markings and scheme are fictional but hey, it's my MiG......
I'll put some more up when done.

The fact that the Dogz fly in the evening in the UK makes it possible for me as I would find it difficult to justify the time in the day. I will always try to get on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sunday - Sunday is set in stone, the others when work allows. I like the 'Zoo' evenings on Saturday but social stuff usual blocks that. I could fly every night if I wanted but, this is a hobby and is only one aspect of my life.
Generally works out at about 12 - 15 hours per week if I sneak some offline stuff on off duty days too.

Good read m8, thanks. By all acounts all three were lucky to get out successfully from a Gannet, and the 2 crew with broken arms appear to have escaped more serious injury being caused by the stabilisers.
I wonder if current aircrew are told to avoid visiting pubs following trauma, just in case it affects medical treatment lol.
It is a very distinctive aircraft isn't it. Functional, limited effort for looks due to being built around the engines? perhaps

Cheers Snack, that made me laugh out loud......'old' geezers have a wicked sense of humour and have no inhibitions when it comes to displaying it!

They will return from their mission in 6 months.
And when they return it will be as if nothing happened............

Superb.....the skill and timing is fantastic. I love the rifle drill without music, just the sound of the rifles being slapped and cracked on the ground. Immaculate. Thanks m8.
-
Stunning views, cheers for sharing. Historic doesn't seem the right word to describe the sites....can't think of an appropriate one though.

Shell leaving a naval gun, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldne ... annon.html
Camera caught the shot precisely - I love this sort of stuff.

The anomoly is probably because the recording is a 'trk', not an 'ntrak'.
'trk' recordings saved after the flight are notorious for not reproducing the original flight whereas 'ntrk' recordings are generally faithful to the original.
-
That is impressive!!
Wonder what speed wind they are heading into?
-
Can't 'lol' because you're right......
Nice one

By no means ugly in any sense of the word, but 2 pictures show 2 sides of the Hunter
First, mean and functional
Second, sleek and very pretty

If it's any good to you, Shadrach, you were a bit 'jerky' tonight - the only one during Dino's maps.....
