Tools i've used in the past mate: - Hijackthis (purely to identify and delete nasty registry entries etc) If you have any queries, send me your hijackthis logfile and I should be able to decifer what is good and what is bad because this tool can cripple your system if used incorrectly! - Spybot Search & Destroy - Adaware These all apply well to XP, but I confess since running Win7, I'm pretty happy with MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials). It's relatively lightweight, simple to use and regularly updated.

Great episode. The lucky bar-stewards!

Good for you delta, glad to hear it. Despite the apparent troubles you're all having i'm still rather jealous of all you 'Clodders'! My PC would probably implode if I even hinted at putting the disc in the drive let alone actually run it lol! Still... you guys are like my beta testers making it all perfect for when I can finally afford a new rig

Happy Easter all! I've spent the time so far repairing and flying my Rc model aircraft, enjoying what feels like July weather, it really is uncanny. This time last year I did a local cycling event and I remember still wearing almost full winter gear and donning my waterproof more than once! Hope to get back online some time this week, hope you are All well.

Sorry can't make it tonight chaps, have other plans. I know it's been a while since i've flown with you all, a combination of heavy workload and taking advantage of this lovely early summer we're having in Blighty means i'm doing other things that are best enjoyed outside! Have fun.

Hi chaps, Those of you coming to Flying Legends this year may be interested to see the progress of the resident P-47G (Curtis built Razorback) that The Fighter Collection have been restoring for the last few years. We've seriously missed the presence of a 'Jug' since they sold 'No Guts No Glory' a couple of years back and to have a rare bird like this one nearing completion is rather exciting! Check out the latest progress over on this thread at WIX: Clicky Clicky! The last time I saw her, she was on jacks and lacking engine/prop u/c and many other parts, so the guys have been seriously busy of late!

I'm rather excited! Whooooooooooop!!!!! UP3 FTW OMG

For April the subject is old and new. This month saw the release of Cliffs of Dover in most countries and therefore a Battle of Britain theme was chosen. The upper image shows the old, Fruitbat's 'Nine Lives' campaign on Legacy IL2 captured superbly by FT and the new is SID making mincemeat of the boche in Oleg's new masterpiece! (tbc, lol). Now available to download in the vault.

Good question, I think you have a valid point though. Imagine if they were way out to sea and the 130 went U/S on the deck. Where would you put it?! lol. Great skill from the pilots in question, especially as they had no previous experience on type, or any multi engined type at all!

Saw this posted on one of the aviation forums, the quality of the footage isn't great but it's quite a sight all the same!

What a stunner!

Epic Shop Fail. Call me old fashinoed, but I really want the box, a physical artifact in my hands which would sit pride of place on my shelf. To be honest I would probably order online anyway, but it seems a shame that these retailers couldn't stock them. I guess, if it isn't an FPS or Sing-dance-shakeyourtits-and-play-plastic-fake-guitar-hero-star then they're not interested.

lol! Yes I am tempted! However this is food for thought: you're not a Jedi

Exactly Crash, there's plenty of life left in Legacy IL-2 yet! Just looking at SAS and the rest of the Mod community is encouragment enough. The way I see it, I've waited 5,6,7 however many years since CloD was first announced, another couple of months for me isn't going to matter.

I haven't got a rig capable of running it yet so I'm going to sit tight until I can afford it. Hopefully by that time this epilepsy issue will have been overcome and i'll also have a better idea what components to buy! I look forward to hearing all about the game from those Dogz that can run it now.

Welcome back!

Likewise Bucky, i've been running Win7 for over a year now and have had little to no problems running all my older applications from when I was using XP. I'm usually on TS a few times a week anyway but if you're needing some help sometime this weekend feel free to drop me a PM and i'd be happy to log on and help you out. I use LogMeIn for remote access, I find it stable, secure and simple to use. I used it to help my Father in Ireland get setup with his new PC also on Win7 running IL-2 and Track IR.

Friday Update 18/3 I actually got goosebumps watching these latest videos. I have faith in Oleg - He will deliver!

That guy hasn't got screws loose, they dropped out of his head and made a run for it! Still, pretty funny though.

It has been confirmed that the Flying Bulls collection will be sending over their P-38 and Corsair to Duxford this year for Flying Legends. Clicky here! This along with the possibility of a Mosquito stopping off from Oz to USA is a mouthwatering prospect. This will also be the first time since 1996 that a P-38 has been seen in the skies of England. I simply cannot wait!!!!!

Sounding positive Arthur, that's good to hear mate! Let's hope you can recover some/all of your data in due course and as cheaply as possible! I have to thank you actually, this thread has served as a catalyst for me pulling my finger out and finally getting round to ordering my new back up hdd. It's always one of those things on the list to do when I get five mins and always forget.
