Oy BG!! Rog told me that you're still holding your ground with fixed bayonet and ammo runing low. Alone. You are not alone Jim. See, many of us came. All of us. Don't be afraid ...or sad...old dragon. Time of fear and sorrow is gone for you. It was just a dream BG. And you are about to be awoke. At much better place than this shithole that we call world. And then...one day... we shall stand our ground and fight same battle as you now. One by one. And you will lead us. One more time. Salute Jim! Good speed you Sir. Vila

Yep, Russian bear is waking up.

I have seen this post one minute ago. I'm sorry for your lost Beebop. Last Salute to an old Marine.

I'm speechless. Does anybody know minimum rig requirements? I still have robber mask somewhere. Maybe it's time to use it.

I am back and so much in .

I am using Thrustmaster T - Flight HOTAS X. You can fly while controller complet is attached, or dissemble it and have separate stick and throttle. No sliders, one Hat switch (usable for four functions), 12 buttons in total. Before i bought pedals, on stick I had buttons for: - guns - cannons - guns + cannons - bombs - elevator trims (Hat switch) - rudder - zoom in view (Hat switch) - zoom out view (Hat switch) Throttle: - Flaps (all 3 stages) - flaps neutral - landing gear (up and down) - lock tail wheel (also "push to talk button" for TS) - trim neutral - boost (on and off). It allso have "rocking button" originally made for rudder contoll, but since it have rudder on stick (left - right rotation), i have never used it. On keyboard, I am using keys for :Engine on - off, complexe engine management, map, navlights, cockpit lights. Until now, I did not have any need for anything else. Controller is very simple, it costs 40Euro, when you plug it in (UBS) it is more than easy to program buttons. Sorry to hear that you returned pedals They serve me nicely.

You Ogre you.

I know mate! Had the same problem for first 10 minutes. Then I put pedals Little farther under the table, fixate them, and now everything is OK. Plastic heel support on both pedals are enough big to have nicely legs and feet position during flight. It works fine now. Well at least for me. I am using only socs too. About that problem with "big play in the middle of the stick", Gec had the same issue with his Cougar stick. I know that he dissembled it and figure out some kind of problem with spring. He even ordered another, modified spring and replaced first, originally one. Do not know how it went. BTW, I am looking photo of your rig. You are really far away from monitor. When in game, I have to stick my nose maximum 40 cm from the screen, otherwise would not see anything that is 1,5+ Km away.

Mine is like owl.

4. The rudderpedals has a very low support for the heels. A bit dissapointing I think.

Hell of a story Tribunus! Example of bravery and determination! I am so glad he make home safely! He probably hated winter after that though. I have story too. February 1992. War in Croatia. Western Slavonia region. 48 hours of Cease fire on that part of the Front. 3 uniformed, armed individuals with white flag (T-Shirt) are crossing open field toward 1st defence sector of litle town named Novska. Nobody fires. "They are probably not surrending are they?" "No way bro". "Their mates would cut them on half with MGs". So my platoon CMDR orderd "Keep them on sights but hold your fire guys, I am going to see what they want". So he went. Came back 15 minutes after talking an smoking with them. "They want to set a Soccer mach"! What? "THEY WANT TO SET A SOCCER MACH!!!!!" (8 days before that after all day battle, we stoped their infantry-armorred Brigade on advance). "Can we get some of what ever they use?" "Well, we are siting over here for some time now and doing nothin anyway!" 2 days after "are they serious" talking in battalion, 3 more meetings on "nobodys land" and putting everything and everybody on first defence line, I wached that soccer game. We won 4:2. It was not WW1, it was not in some imaginary country, I was sober, they did it and I saw it. Nobody fired a single bullet until next morning. How to explain that? I do not know. Each side did not hesitate to kill before, or after that. During game, it chross my mind to kill our goolman after 0:1. So much present hate was absent that day and war did not seem so cold und ugly.

No m8, you guys are much more polite than we usually are . Both of us feel more than welcome over there. It was just...GREAT!!! Thanks again.

Gec and I came home two hours ago. Safely. From Duxford to airport, everybody drove in wrong direction...again, all cars had steering wheel on wrong side...again... Mad Brits!!!! Anyway, I had a time of my life during last three days. The DD crew over there is really something. Everything, I mean everything was perfect. Laughter that we had, Show by it self, thunderstorm of engines, air maneuvers, pools of beer, Bulgarian waitress, bunch of drunken Germans, guys from RAF with British version of "Lillie Marlen", debate is Painless human or does he in fact belongs to still uncovered category, pricks from 69th GIAP... Gec, Jabo, Friar, Painless, Sid, Knight, OT, Sged, Crash...A huge THANK YOU for everything m8s!!!!!! It was fantastic!!!!! P.S. Sid m8, I'll get sick if you don't tell me WHAT TO HELL DID YOU DO TO YOUR WIFE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Now, that was funny. Hell I almost choke of laughter. But you know...Those guys are skilled with rocks AND firearms. Yesterday on "Operation Honor our Heroes" I found this: 3. "Of the Iraq/Afghanistan veterans who sought care from the VA, about 38 percent have received at least a preliminary diagnosis of a mental health condition, and 18 percent have received a preliminary diagnosis for PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), making it the most common, but by no means, the only mental health condition related to the stress of deployment," Michael Kussman, undersecretary of the Veterans Health Administration, told a House Committee on Veterans' Affairs hearing in February, 2008. 4.

~S~ Jabo Squad number - 30, size...I'll play XXL. If you can get them for us I would be more than grateful. Thank you for all your effort. And this is from the hart m8.

I AM nice. Why nobody believes me ? You are all helpful m8. Two of us will actually show up in Duxford. Free of wife supervision. My first time in England. I was thinking about options. And I shear them with you guys. Bad dog I am

If she piss in your combat helmet in crowded bar? Yeap, that really brings luck. Nothing and nobody can not wound you after that. Except maybe guy whose helmet is been switched over afterward. Sid, me and Gec are so nice to you.

We suppose to sleep in the car????? And before that we need to rent it? What to hell is wrong with you??? We'll steal a car, find ourselves two single waitresses...ok one is enough, and try NOT to sleep at all. You amateur.

Welcome Sweper. You are on the right place m8.

If we hijack plane to London and steal a care to reach Duxford, we would actually have enough money to taste that British beer . I'll bring two bottles of Rakija and my combat helmet. We need to convince those Polish waitresses to piss in helmet. First - they are not familiar wit Rakija. Second - that brings luck. Third - that would be a sight wouldn't it .

Hey Delta! Iv learned few things sins last post on this topic. First of all, I start to fly FW much more often than before (my sympathy lies with German planes). Then, many hours were spent on off line sims (quick mission builder, La5 FN or on Ace level, map Smolensk, no icons, both of us leveled at 1000m). Pretty soon, it was exactly as TOAD told. FW is energy fighter, so speed is essential. It took some time to master maneuver, but once I did it, La on my 6 was not problem any more. It overshoot every time, and after that everything was in deflection shooting (I'm still working on that). Anyway, next step was hiperloby and again, many hours on server "Dedicado...something" Spanish dogfight server. Taking off, avoiding contact until 3000 - 4000m is reached, looking for tracers or clean target down below, shallow or sharp diving, cca 600km/h speed, BnZ, stay fast, stay high, stay alive. Every time, when I loose nerves and start to chase bad guy instead pulling back, somebody sticks to my 6. If bandit is seen on time, in 8 of 10 cases he overshoot after rolling scissors. On Eastern Sundays coop, two DDs (don't know who but they were flying P47 and something else) glued to my back and I manage to roll them both. I get killed some minute after that, but my FW rolled them!!! For better pilots that is not something, but for me that was great accomplishment. It seems my skills are growing. Slowly but enough to move in Ladder pool and challenge somebody this week. I don't feel like sheep any more (and we have guys in squadron...well they prefer sheep, so try to understand my fears ). Those links that you posted, they are more than useful. Man is learning until he lives. THX m8.
