  1. Submarine? WTF? If anything like it, it's only half a U boat! It's a very nicely built wooden very speedy speedyboat! And the trailer is scratch built as well, apart from its wheels...
  2. You need to 'clone' the disk. With either specific software that can do that from windows, or use Clonezilla. (link) where you boot a different OS (Linux like) Some free software that can clone your disk: An example (AOMEI Partition Assistant) There are others available as well, I would not know which one is best currently... Be careful with this stuff, specifically when selecting source/target!
  3. Amma goin' to visit Duxford this summer, aye! w00t!
  4. Session 1. Basic Wingman tactics: FFA Islands, DF, Fifty Fuel Training Pair is flying 109-F4, 1941, spawning Six O’clock base. (Airstart at 1km, hdg 0, speed 250kmh) Opponent spawns at 8 o’clock base. (Airstart at 1km, hdg 75, speed 250kmh) Observer(s) Spawn in at 12 o‘clock base. (On the ground) All record N-tracks (Assign key to start quick recording), once a fight is over and deemed good for review, all disconnect and timely replay the track. Review with observer – what went wrong where? Fight will be repeated if lessons learned are clear to Trainees. 2 vs 1 - Same aircraft. Opponent at 2km, Pair is at 1km. Fly towards eachother, the opponent Attacks from above, the pair defend. 2 vs 1 - Opponent in an I-153 at 1km - vs Pair at 2km. Meet over center island, the Training Pair is attacking the opponent. 2 vs 2 - Opponents in an I-153 at 1km - vs Pair at 2km. Meet over center island, the Training Pair is attacking the opponent. At C. we decided to split the TS channels. This is free to decide for training Pair, though it is highly recommended that once reviewing a track and starting a new fight, all are in the same channel J The three fights took us two hours... Correct tactics to be used / what is to be learned: The pair keep defensive positions, keep an eye out and warn each other to keep from getting hit by the aggressor. This should lead into a situation where gradually the aggressor looses his energy, and the pair can then execute simultaneous attacks from different angles. The pair should dive attack on the opponent, keeping up speed, if #1 cannot get a firing solution due to evasive actions, #2 probably will. Same as B, where the pair should quickly knock one of the opponents out of the fight via method B. and then the other. =========================================== FT’s experiences with opponent #1 being Dizzy (aka ametzeala) FT: First off, Dizzy is a good pilot. He knows how and when to move his a/c in what direction, is a pretty good shot as well. He’s a very worthy opponent for this training. For me, the applied manouvres made complete sense once applied. Me and Ovy as a team need a some tuning, as for me extending is like exteeeeeeeeeeeeeending, whereas for Ovy it is exteeending. In the end it meant that I was usually safe and high (yeah, up to at 3800m unable to spot anyone anymore) and he was tangling with the opposition down there somewhere very low J. We got separated too often, and were too far away from each other. Better communication between him and me is also needed. Loved this. Good show. (Ovy, can you now post your thoughts please?) (Painless, can you please check, correct and add missing stuff to the tactics bit?) (Attached is the map used. Well, no, it is a derivetive of it, but is should do if you want to familiarize) BWT 01 - TrainingIslands.mis BWT 01 - TrainingIslands_ru.properties Attached here is the one good track I made, if you watch me, you can see I need better shooting ... and at 5:15 I made the mistake to dive/turn in again, where Ovy was still chasing Dizzy, I loose way too much energy, and give Dizzy the opportunity... w00t. Next tries were much more succesful, though I have no recordings of those.. lol Oh, and, BTW, I love how we are doing this currently: Just not overthink it, have the right people at the right number at the right time there, and we get somewhere! Please do note that it may become a mess later, I can imagine the next session where we create the second lesson, while others may be doing their first lesson. No worries its all good. WMT-001-A-Dizzy-Ovy-FT.ntrk @Jabo, Sorry, no TS sound recorded! @Perfesser, your words are the wisest, we do not really train for them, we do find out we need improvement though! But, as we are the DangerDogz... there's just too much sense and logic in your aproach, we'd stop being DD's should we train and fly having that all under control!
  5. Next session: Saturday january 16th 14:00 - 16:00 GMT A report of the first session will follow ...
  6. Would love to do that Ovy, but ... I aint got it, and can't find it anywhere!
  7. This suggestion was initiated by Ovy, and Painless and me are cooperating here, as to see whether we can setup some form of training, where us IL2 pilots can improve on our air-to-air fighting skills... Now it's not our goal to setup a surrogate for Joint Ops - that'd be a bit too much - but we do find a dedicated and serious approach is needed here. So, should you be interested, we do need you to show up fresh and sober (clean underware too!) whenever a traning session is on. Here's the initial idea for setup, it's not final yet. Four chapters of Wingman Tactics: 1 - Dealing with basics ACM, The flight envelope, a plane pros and cons etc. 2 - 2 versus 1 3 - 2 versus 2 4 - Escort tactics, Air Superority (Possibly into Air War Tactics and Strategy, though that migh be a bit too much / too deep) How many sessions one chapter will take is also unknown yet, but it's not to be as extended as JO was (5 sessions per chapter) Sessions will be held outside the normal 1946-coop-windows! Probably on a Saturday afternoon GMT, but that's not fixed yet. The idea is that if you sign up, you need to roll onto all four chapters, completing each with a good result, before moving on to the next. (How that is going to be achieved still has to be determined!) Ideally, you will be flying as a fixed pair, you will be training with the same wingman as much as possible. Besides pil2ots who want to be trained, the training will also be requiring some experienced pil2ots to join, who know what it is all about, as we will be needing observers, pil2ots who can judge the performance of others, and who can tell the trainees which of their actions were good, and which require improvement. Also, some capable fighter pilots that can play the role of opposition are needed. This post here just to try and get an idea of how many of us would be joining a training like this. So, who would like to participate? As a Trainee? As as an Observer? As an Opponent? As a Trainer? As a Knowledge base to setup/fine tune the training? Note: One cán participate in multiple roles, though that's mainly for the latter four... though this line up of roles may be way too large and overcomplicating things... lol Note: Trainees need to be dedicated 100%, the other roles may be filled in more freely, but that will surely depend on the numbers interested! Feel free to reply ... but keep any ideas and suggestions to a minumum for now, once there's sufficient interest, we will press on, and come up with a more detailed plan and planning... Yours Truly, Team DD_Rusty (Currently DD_Ovy, DD_Painless and DD_FT)
  8. Okaym, well, then your motherboard must have a RAID controller on it... and, as it is new, it should be running at 6GB ... Still, two minutes...
  9. My load times for DCS are under 10 seconds, but I only got the P51D ... How can you have a RAID setup, without a RAID controller?
  10. Wot? So, you have SSD, yet it takes two minutes to load DCS from it? You then must have each and every extension of the game installed? Is that raid set on a 6GB Sata controller? Something is off here ... my SSD disks shows 540Mb/s it can read. Sequential reads. In two minutes, that's 64GB!
  11. Two minutes, on a new rig? Software/Games stored in a cache? Extra RAM Memory? To me, this sounds like you need to get yourself an SSD type disk ...
  12. Try these: EnableResize=0 ChangeScreenRes=1
  13. Touching models is a grand fun!
  14. Start disk cleanup, select C-drive, go 'Cleanup system files', select C-drive again, in that list select the old versions (not too sure what they are named) Hm, for B and C, some manual deletion action may be needed...
  15. I vote for the Sata cable... it won teh war afterall... Good show!
  16. Same to you dave, take care out there, hold on to your hat!
  17. Hm, I very much doubt Windows 10 will fix it.... maybe a clean install, but an upgrade... can't see that ...
  18. Came across lots of different possible causes: - Software, as in broken/badly configurer - even Windows Defender could cause it. - Memory: Re-seating memory modules solved it for one guy... Is this is temporary freeze and next, it continues? Or does it just get stuck, and stays stuck? Next to reseating memory, you may want to reseat the video card? I dunno, it's a difficult one, lots of possible causes ...
  19. Cheech & Chong inside, does not really work on this scale... oh well...
  20. You must've found this by now, is my guess.... yet if you have not: Edit: what I picked up from this video: 1. He's at the airport 2. He's using a custom antenna...
