Too bad Pooka, we did have a great time... apart from the one's who's computers were crushed under the heavy mission load, and / or some weird issues regarding some people were on 7.02 already, others weren't and some even had 7.015-ish versions... In the end... typical Dogz night... Half show up prepared and ready, the mission is fine, though it does not load fine, we need a restart, half of the ones who thought they were prepared now find they are not, the others find they are, and somehow the mission happens, gets done with, lots of things happening that no one ever thought could (Friar navigating succesfully to a Rendez vouz Waypoint!), and vice versa, (Sweper getting swept by the Luftwaffe without killin' half of them first..) I could go on and on...

MMAPRPI's: A blue dot marks where a bomb may have hit.. (Mid Mission Action Packed Recon Photoedited Images) (Recording track did not work out, once I pressed 'R' I got a massive pause of multiple seconds, then had to try and gain control/hading/whatnots back... Oh well)

Very good show.... Very cool mission. Thanks Fenrir !! Scores: (Can you send me the mission Fen, so I can do some testing and research on it? Compare it with the logfiles? My Log.lst file is over 500Mb's... )

(I may have to bail out at any moment, depending on a phone call, but, I'll be there!)

You have something wrong.

No, that's not what he said. Tolwyn said we should not need using it at all. AA was designed to get rid of 'steps' at low resolutions (ie like 640x480) At the high resolutions we are running nowadays, there's no longer speak of 'steps', but mear 'jaggies'. Hence, acccording to theory, we can do without AA... What it boils down to in my opinion, is that we are all so 'spoiled' in not wanting to see any jaggies at all. (Me thinks there's people that'd even use a magnifying glass to make sure there are none left after the latest new HW upgrade, driver and settings tunings...) Just think about the huge task AA has to perform, for each and every pixel drawn, it has to analyse whether it is part of a straight line, and if so, it has to change contrast and whatnots of pixels around it, to try and solve the jaggie issue. To smoothe it out, AAx4 does it probably with double the amount of work ('depth'?), even more for the x8 etc. Now, remember, we are running high resolutions... so, for each and every pixel...yeah. Sh1tloads of work... performance will go down .... alot...

Pressing Load loads the profile values stored under the listed/selected profile. Save saves them. So, that's where/how you lost your 'old settings'. You should have selected 'Joystick2' first, then press Save What worries me in your case, is the game cashing, that should not happen.

Jolly good! 140 Wing PR Flight I'm gonna bring the pictures home this time ... !

Me thinks it depends on how you are flying it... when attacking bombers, not so much, if you fly it correctly, and line up your attack in a proper way... Hurricane was known to be a 'stable gun platform', hence it must have been stable in flight... hence little need to use the rudder. Once in a dogfight with a 109 on yer tail... different story... Does make me think of a bomber attack sortie I did in CloD, remembering how I kept the throttle and pitch in a constant position, and just line up with a bomber, fire at it, pull out/up, make some turns while above it... setting up for another run .... now I can't remember using the rudder much, but as I never touched throttle nor pitch, I must've let it fly itself.... zooming? (Not sure if I can explain that 'feeling' correctly here)

bummer!

lol !

Snacko, one question, will this change any of my profiles? (Sorry, I could not resist, and I really tried to!)

Well, currently, we use a set of 2000 missions, on some 100 different maps. The most popular ones, that are also not that very large: - Ardennes - Normandy - Desert

I'm with Colin here...

Thanks for that Arthur, that take off was a blast, to be in it, and to see it again! (Gotta have to have a look at that Shadowplay thingie...)

IL2-Sticks is new best, be sure! Snacko is right, basically, the in game interface has the same functionality... so better use that, mainly, as you can access it 'on-the-fly' ... Both other utilities add the copy/paste which can be handy... Still, the biggest problem is figuring out what the best settings are for an axis... it so depends on hardware used, and your personal preferences...

Good show Fruitbat!

That looks good! Like... like .... Stalingrad!

Me thinks it certainly can be. But Fruitbat should have a look, he's got some ideas and plans, not sure if this will do what he is after. Thanks Arthur!

Thanks Jabo, looks good! I'd like to maybe add one thing to 'the things you need', though it might be obvious ... "you'll have to have the Tab connected to your local network / wireless router..." *** EDIT *** Addition made - Thanks Arjen!

Yes, and it did update the Steam client, saw it doing that....

Server is back up and running. Only the template mission is loaded currently...
