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...

Looking into the issue... looks like something with Steam ...

Good show Fritz! Today, starting around 20:00 GMT, I will be hosting Coop's, using Hyperlobby, so that one is open for others - non dangerdogz - to join. (Will be using the public TS server.) On Sundays, we usually gather on the private TS server, and decide there and then what will be next... Sundays are usually for something special, SEOW, or some special event, or one of the longer missions... (Nothing really planned at the moment) Tuesdays and Thursdays are the our regular coop sessions. Also starting around 20:00 GMT.

Copy the current installation over to a different folder. Keep this for flying online. Now, uninstall the original one (this to get the 'Install' option available again). Install it, that will leave you with 4.07m. Next, patch the 4.07m up to the latest 4.12.2m. (Lots of patches!) Then apply HSFX 7.00 and 7.01 patch. BTW, have you tried the EnjoyrPatches I linked to? That did fix the issues regarding the campaigns on my test-install....

Are you looking in the Missions folder? (Like stated, ChkMods is focused on online play, not so much on offline play. So, it could very well be missing... not that ChkMods would remove it, it just ignores it, won't delete it, won't add it if it is missing.) However, I am pretty sure, once you've been able to start a Campaign, that Missions\Campaign folder will be created, it did on my system...

Fritz, ChkMods should have put IL2.exe in there, but it did not. My bad. I left it out somehow... I do not think with modding like you did removed the il2.exe, I'm pretty sure it was not there from the start. What I meant by my sentence "(And, for sure, that's not the case after using ChkMods.)" is that I knew for sure ChkMods would leave you with an IL2.exe and an IL2fb.exe which are not identical. In the end, that was not true, due to mistake I made. So basically, ignore that one sentence... Did some googling on the Stab thing, check these threads on the issue: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3226041/all/IL_2_Shturmovik_Stab_6_3_help.html If you now have both an il2.exe and an il2fb.exe that are equal, then ... I do not know what is wrong with ILStab, why it won't run...

If I remember correctly, you need to have file named il2.exe which is identical to il2fb.exe file ... (And, for sure, that's not the case after using ChkMods.) Try and delete the il2.exe file, then copy/paste il2fb.exe, then rename 'copy of il2fb.exe' to il2.exe and try again!

What Fruitbat said. If you'd ever run that risk, by applying a fix, I would state that loud and clear, and would ask you first if you wanted to continue fixing this issue Installing a separate version of IL2 for offline play may not be a bad idea for you. As you may find out, there are a lot more mods for IL2 than just HSFX, you might like them... but the downside is, some of them will indeed make online play with us impossible. Make a backup copy of your installation of IL2 now, so you can use it now for offline play, or use it later on for the installation of other mods / modsets.
