A D9 huh? Could have sworn it was a 109, though it was downed from a couple of short bursts a fair distance away.

Thinking about it now, I was surprised to see the starboard wing half fall off so easily, figured it was new damage modelling, but this was a quirk of hitting the ammo box of a 190 wasn't it? 

I'll have to check the track :)

Apologies for my early frustrations last night chaps, always annoying when you have set things up and run tests and everything was 100% - and then when you log on for ops it all goes to hell🤣

I have identified and confirmed the issue being the fact I was using Open Composite instead of Steam VR - although it gives extra FPS - it also completely messes up your sound settings, that is why my Windows sound devices were being ignored, studio monitors were not even seen and Teamspeak kept turning me into a Klingon - so for that reason, is not really worth it with my setup. Once I went back to Steam VR - all the issues were sorted. 👍

Well I'm not going crazy and my a/c recognition skills remain half decent, it was a 109 K4. Can't say I've seen the wing come off like this very often on a Messer though, new modelling?

P.s. Just look at FT - the model wingman. :salute:

Yeah. For a non sentient computer program PWCG certainly has a creative streak when it comes to assigning kill claims; we've seen examples of this since day one.

This is why I try to establish the precise sub-variant of each kill you claim as this can have a bearing on what gets awarded; if you claim a D-9 but actually shot an A-8 and no Dora's were in that mission then your claim could get denied or awarded to someone else.

"No No Chris, that was nót a D9 you shot down over our lines, it was a 109K4 ! I confirm!

(BTW, I claim a 190D9) "

Sorry I left server chaps, when I eventually caught you, you still couldn't hear me, I went in to attack a gun and all my controls froze up and I went straight into the ground - very annoying as this pilot was doing fairly well for his first few ops. 

I am starting to wish I never had this new PC to be honest - it works perfectly for everything I do and play - except  BOS. All sorts is going wrong with BOS and it is driving me nuts. 

I will try to do some re-installing this week and see if I can get it working, if not, I may step away for a while, so won't pick a new pilot name just yet. 

I will do whatever I can to get onto a different Dogs night in order to test comms etc. once re-installed.

Reggie, none of us saw you crash so as far as we're concerned you went MIA on mission but miraculously emerged in the Squadron Bar later that evening, somewhat worse for wear having had a set to with a Hun AAA gun and left your P-38 wrecked in no-mans land.

 Hi Fen, I appreciate that - I really do, but would prefer to be accepted as dead - I was clearly KIA - and it happened behind enemy lines, in all honesty I probably was diving too fast and that is why the controls locked up. I shouldn't be re-incarnated for frustration, I don't want to get a reputation in DD as a grumpy chap who throws a tantrum when he is killed - I died fair and square and will return as someone witty when I can. It is partly my fault for not being able to get on early enough on ops, or on other nights to test things more thoroughly.  😂

In the meantime, I need to try and sort out my gremlins, was up till 2am last night trying but only managed to fix the default VR view on the right wing issue - everything else is still happening it seems. I will post in the Tech Help room on here in case anyone has any ideas 👍
