I am still more curious as to why the tailwheel is extended and another pic shows the elevator trim tab potentially missing.

I really hope these people do not vote.
That and they breed and move freely among us and are classed human enough to have rights so we can't make them dissapear.

This is a great group I got invited to, I hope I get back in the saddle when rl flying calms down a bit, just sad to hear Mr BG won't be with us, my first impressions on one of my first co-ops was he is a kind sounding man, warm and welcoming.....I think it was BG who said I had a massive piece of equipment too.....so he won a new friend for life here

I thought any old cassette player with a 3.5mm audio jack would work, just use a double ended audio lead and plug it into the AUX input of the soundcard, record the whole tape...chop it up into individual tracks if you like with cheap or free audio editing sofware.

Just a problem with widescreen for me so far
-
I have a problem......I just can't get any widescreen to work with it, all the other mods work just not widescreen.........any ideas?

Wide screen for menus or widescreen for gameplay? If you want gameplay widescreen with proper aspect ratio you are gonna need San's IL-2 FOV changer otherwise your game will be a stretched 4:3 aspect ratio instead of the typical 16:10 for widescreen LCDs. If you talking about widescreen menus, apart from using the Ecran Wide mod I don't know what to tell you. If it's not working anymore then they possibly need to update it for UP 3.0 but I would have thought that would have already been a taken care of if not integrated into UP as its a no brainer.
Well I think widescreen for both, there is a widescreen mod included with the UP 3.0 install and it just isn't working....nor is ecran for 4.101

YAY! I'm not 'the' FNG anymore, you'll love flying with these guys Beta........but don't be sucked in with the promise of sheep, I havent been anywhere near one since joining.

Hi Guys,
I have to say that after the steam patch I am playing this thing on max settings and having really fluid dogfights........I'm still crap but it is to all intents 'fixed' for me, still a bit choppy over dense cities but the frames are steady if low.
I don't think my rig is spectacular

Thanks all,
It was an experience for me to fly with some of you over the last coulpe of days, have't done any online flying other than some random stuff in hyperlobby servers, it was exellent, I will spend some more time getting some offline practice in.
-
Superb! thank you very much for the welcome, I'm gonna have to get my ass into gear and get my desk cockpit reorganised, and make sure I'm all set up, sounds like flying with you guys will be a blast, and hopefully in the course of time I will be fairly regular.

Fruit, did you tell him the noob has the wear the sheep costume for the first month?
Result!!!!.........I knew I was right to buy one, people thought I was crazy weird and stuff, but I can show them now.

Hi Jim,
I will try to get over to Manston at some point, make sure they don't forget about me, i will have to get into a c152 to do my 3 take offs and landings before I can fly the Stearman again, how is Sue doing after the accident? heard she got pretty smashed up.
-
I am in the UK, I can be perssuaded to do the late night thing, but as of yet I havent ventured into rise of flight so will have to buy it soon I guess.
-
I have teamspeak......I'm glad to hear you guys use it, I will await the acess to the server, looking forward to this new experience for me, don't worry propNut.....I have a feeling I am going to be the new bullet magnet.
-
I look forward to the banter

at 500mph yes....here is my purely speculative sequence of events based on a few videos I've seen, first I believe there 'was' some sort of mechanical failure (the tailwheel makes me believe something went wrong in the aft section) the trim tab is harder to confirm, either way it really did seem to me the aircraft made a sudden pitch up from a level attitude, so the pilot was not under any g loads until the pitch up, I believe that was an effect of a failure, this 'may' have put the pilot unconcious through the rest of the sequence, the continuous pitch up resulted in the aircraft stalling out and flicking putting the aircraft inverted right above the crowd line, the pitching force was still in place and the aircraft pulled through vertical straight into the crowd below, good chance the pilot was unconcious because I heard no reduction of thrust.
