" on a seventy-two hours a week basis for a couple of months. Initial access to the game will be Tuesday to Thursday only." Am I understanding this right, you will only be able to fy on Tuesday to Thursday each week?

Love too but time not good for Western Canada time zone during a work week.

Yikes!!!

a post from over at Joint Ops "It is tempting. I have been flying the DCS P51 for about a month now and love the flight model but am getting frustrated with not being able to shoot down the FW190. I can see the hits but I never seem to make any critical ones. I assumed it was lack of skill on my part until the day I shot off the tail and a new one grew back (I have the track); so, I am a little skeptical about the damage model and not sure I want to invest. But thanks for posting the links."

$1,000,000 Everything at the previous level, plus: A flyable Boeing B-17 A flyable Luftwaffe plane (Me 410 A or Ju 88, as voted for by the backers) Romania, new large gameplay map 4 new single-player campaigns for the new aircraft and theaters Can you imagine many going for this level of expense for a sim.

LOL, we had a good laugh.

Thank you sir. I kind of thought it was an add on but I was not going to do that until I was sure it was the right thing to do.

Hi Where do I find [DGen] in the Conf.ini? I have instructions on setup for a campaign that reads: ____________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT: Recommended settings for the [DGEN] section of the CONF.INI: My settings are these [DGen] RandomFlights=3 ;UseParkedPlanes=0 HistoricalRanks=1 NoAirfieldHighlight=1 MaxFLAK=40 MissionDistance=75 MaxBomberSkill=0 Very important is MaxFlak: I inserted a lot of anti aircraft guns in the Berlin map, make sure that MaxFlak is NOT more than 40 or you will have a flak hell over Berlin. With 40 you will have a lot of flak, adding immersion. If you don´t like it, experiment with less than 40. MaxBomberSkill: Set it to "0" or the sniper gunners of the Fortresses will shoot you to pieces from huge distances. DISABLE "UseParkedPlanes" or the campaign will crash when changing to the NWE and Ardennes maps. I just don’t see [DGen] in my Conf.ini Do I just add this to my Conf.ini?

That brick wall just before touchdown, could have been interesting if he did not judge that right.

Understood. So far I have seen no control issues. I was just reviving a 4.11.1 install to allow an update to 4.12 in prep for the new HSFX that is supposed to be in the works for the new version.

Thank you sir, that worked like a charm!!!!

What file(s) do I copy if I want to copy all my flight control settings from one IL2 install to another IL2 install? One is a HSFX install and I want to copy my current settings for my controllers from that install over to a IL2 4.11.1 install.

Great stuff!!!!!

Humm, I am no expert but I had no problem. I set up a left hand pattern to drop altitude and speed. I like to be on final at 200kmh, prop pitch at 100 (fine) if you need the power you want it now, not wait for it to slowly pick up speed. I keep all 3 engines running during the landing. I have it to takeoff flaps on final, as I actually approach the beginning of the runway I hit landing flaps, going about 150kmh now. I watch airspeed, chop throttle and flare just above ground. If tail does not drop for some reason I raise flaps to get it down, but that does not seem to be a problem. Found this site for an explanation on what the gauges are, as I fly with the inflight gauge info in the lower left corner of the screen turned off and you have to be able to find the gauges to fly. http://www.ju52-3m.ch/diverse/Ju52_v60_ref.htm At the bottom of the page is a link to the aircraft’s checklists. Nice page. I also found the rather opposite engine / turning plane response as well when on the ground. If you know the peculiarities of the engines on the ground (seems to work opposite to logic) you can turn “control all engines off” and select the engines individually to really get you turning around on the ground pronto. Still have to fiddle with the engine mixture settings as of right now, as I don’t have the drill down yet.

Been trying my hand at flying on the JU52, just to add some variety. Nice bird, very short takoff. How do I get to sit in the co-pilot seat? My “C” command only will get me to the gunner position, which I can’t seem to control either; (move gun and fire) I will have to figure that out as well. I could do that at one time, I must have changed something along the way. At what alt. do I drop the mixture at? Seems like somewhere just above 1000m it should drop from 100 to 80. What alts. after that? The radio beacon compass is a nice feature, too bad no radio transmitter towers in current SEOW.

Too bad, did not hear that news, thanks for the heads-up.

Called base today. Static displays mainly. There will be a small flyover at 42 Radar site (now a museum) at about 10:30. Are you still going, and if so when? I have a very limited time window on that day.

What link to utube did you look at, must have been some past open house, this year's might be totally different. I will try to make time tomorrow to call the base and see if I can get info on what they have planned for this year. I fly with some pals (IL2) on Saturday afternoons, so if I am going to go I would have to be back in B'ville before 3. With that in mind I would be inclined to go on a morning / early afternoon trip. I doubt that they will put on much of a demonstration if is similar to one I have seen in the past, pretty tame. Now if they had some WW2 warbirds on display and in action, that would be a different matter entirely. I don't blame you for going no matter what, like you are in Elk Point, and what goes on there, not too much. So what work are you doing in Elk Point?

What is happening at the open house, it sounds like static displays but I have no info on that, do you?

Now with most game computers being different, is this a cut and paste operation or should I pick and choose what aspects I should change to the specs in my config? If it is a pick and choose, which ones should I be considering? Thanks

What time on Sunday nights? Intrested but will wait till you are flying back in the West again if the time your flying works for me.

Amazing work. It goes to show what a person can accomplish with a little imagination and know how. Also interesting to see how people fly in the sense of the buttons they use. I have a CH set up, with both the regular throttle and the throttle quadrant for things like elevator trim, flaps, rad settings etc. I find I have extra buttons that are not mapped to do anything. If I had all my buttons mapped I probably would not remember the ones I don’t use every day.

Not a bad sim, don't like the gun sight modeling much, chasing the crosshair around is my main beef. The lock into gun sight view not bad but limits vision to the forward too much.
