Thanks JP. About 1.5km.

Poor fella! You'd think he'd learn after the first time, wouldn't you? Nice pix, pity you couldn't of fed the ducks. Well, if I put it this way (so you understand my lousy english), what I ment with "they". Salmon and Trout fishing in summertime may look like this: And you may get a fish like this (I borrowed pic from local newspaper). Sorry for OT. Swep

A day off - took a walk around my neighborhood. -8 and a chilly wind made me dress in thermo pants and thick jacket, gloves and wollen cap. River half frozen. Summertime they fish salomon here. Ducks like cold and water. Gears up! When I arrived they thoght I brought food and surrounded me and started to nab on my shoes. This bridge was built around 1725. There was an older version where

Thanks GK. Very nice animations. He really caught it right.

"Bork"??

I prefer summer and tempered water...

LOL Lothar! Mom´s are great. I also got a pair of slippers

God Jul och Gott Nytt År Ovy!

Thanks B16. I´ll try that. Did not want to install another software, like CH´s, but FT´s one looks like what I need. Swep

Everything working pretty well so far. Only one question. I can not configure my joystick in game hardware setup. There is a mini joystick on the throttle that took the place of my real joystick. When I move the mini stick the x and y axis move in set up. I have tried to re-set the throttle in game setup in windows, thats all I tried sp far, and it did not do any difference. Joystick works fine in game though but it cant be adjusted in the game itself. In the Controlpanel- Game devices - The CH Pro Throttle is on top, second is Pedals and at bottom is the joystick. Is that ok or should I try to re-arrange the usb connections? Does this have anything to do with my problem? Swep

Got my gear today. Wow - fantastic feeling! Just plugged everything in and set it up in Windows and game controls. Bit tricky first since I set the breaks to the right pedal, had to change to the left one. This going to take some time to get used to. Particulary the rudders. And the buttons, and the... Swep

Me think too. Check the vid to the right, third from above: "Lövstaviken". Same guy who made the first one. This vid is more like it. But I think he is not allowed flying there since they have very strict rules where to fly. Swep

Did not know I had those guys around http://www.fmfk.se/ I may pay them a visit when the snow is gone and the tempature has risen a bit. The funny thing is I know one of the guys who is member of their board. It seems that they offer newbies to try with a double commanded radio controller. I found them because of an article in my local paper, about a horse owner who complained about their planes making noice and scaring his horses when passing by on a small road.

Thanks Rattler, very nice pics. Swep

Salute! Sorry for a late answer. I dont know what happend, maybe a partial break down of my grafic card. Anyway, I bought the latest Asus GTS250 512mb "Dark Knight" since I could not find a solution to get as steady fps as I used to have. Now IL-2 works like a charm. My first measurment was made in may (when I had no trouble with occasional low fps) and BlackDeath showed: 7348 Frames, 28 min, 62 max and 50.641 avrage fps. With new grafics I get: 7911, 28, 62 and 55.081. No bigger change compared to from the time it worked quiet well, but a big difference to what I got when it did not worked that well. I let the grafics run on default settings and the sceenery look so good. Also I see no fps drop in any wheather conditions, lots of trees, clouds, water, beaches whatsoever. Only when over large citys. My config file I set water to 3, forest to 3 and something else I forgot. Me happy now! Swep

I´m gonna take my time to get used to it - as Perfesser says. I´ve read so many positive reviews on Ubi forums and other sites so I hope I´ll feel more positive to this setup. By the way, I did go for the Combatstick since I got a bit scared of all settings with the Saitek. I think I´ll start with stick and rudders only, and when I feel more confident, I install the throttle. Swep

Wow, that´s cold! I suggest not to pee outside under such circumstances

About 5mm snow fell

Good advise Perfesser. Sorry for late answer but on friday I´ll get my new setup. Called the dealer for Scandinavia and spoke to the manageing director. I got 22% off and free delivery. I´ll try CH

~S~ If somebody is intrested in Swedish military aviation take a look here! Lots of picuters and the story behind each aircraft. (In English). Swep

I am in for either day.

Me too!

Very good photos. Thansk for sharing Pooka. Swep

Very nice Rattler! Watching your model makes me want to start again. Swep
