Flyboy583 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I learned a good lesson on Friday ... Always fully research everything prior to you handing cash over... I ordered a copy of IL2 1946 last week in preparation of my new PC and joining the DD online... On Friday I logged onto Amazon to check when my copy will arrive. On the right hand side of the page I saw an advert for IL2 - Complete edition (Forgotten battles; ACE expansion Pack; Pacific Fighters) for only £5 brand new... I could not resist and ordered it.. When I got home on friday evening IL2 1946 was waiting for me.... And to my amazement, it included all the previous versions of IL2 Always check and don't impulse buy!! So now I am sitting with a brand new copy of IL2 that I don't need... So I know this is a long shot on this forum.... but if anybody has a good home for my unopened copy of IL2 (or knows of anybody that would appreciate it) it is yours FOC (or a pint at the next DD piss up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweper Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Upgradeing my Processor? I´m now using a Intel Core 2 E6750 and looking for an upgrade, like E8500 or likewise. Anyone who has upgraded and got one lying in a drawer that is not needed anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 6, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I've got a redundant BU0836 - otherwise known as a Bodnar joystick emulator board. Only used a couple of times, normally retails at £20 (including postage). Anyone interested in making their own button bay? Make me an offer!

DD_Arthur Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Have at last managed to get my hands on a Microsoft force feed back stick. Am now looking to go the whole-hog and get a throttle so I can have trim on a slider, extra buttons, etc. Anyone got a throttle from a Saitek X45 or X52 going spare? I'm ready to make a generous(ish) Xmas offer for it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted December 10, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 What about a G940 throttle? You'll only be needing Jabo's BU-board with it. But, how are we going to get the thing over there? You willing to pay for shipping? Guessing something like 20GBP? *** just guessing *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Thats interesting FT but is it worth splitting up the set? Is there something wrong with the stick? I'd feel rather better if you e-bayed it to recover some of your outlay. Edit; Just seen what you did with the stick part of it in another thread. O.K. Could be interesting. I'd need Jabo's Bodnar board to make the connection between throttle and 'puter? What about a power supply? Hmmm......gonna need a soldering iron with a bit more finesse. And plastic lunch box for the Bodnar board, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted December 10, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I really really have no use for the throttle...even though I've put the G940 stick back together to its original state. My lunchbox'o'slider works just fine for me... The Bodnar board goes inside the throttle, as thet throttle has no electronics on its own, apart from the pots and switches... The bodnar board will connect to your computer via USB, the switches and pots will connect to the bodnar board. Throttle has 12 buttons, two trim wheels, two sliders and two hat-switches. (And that single mode switch... which you probably can't use on the standard BU board...) Off course, you will not have the full functionalities of a G940 throttle has when connected to the G940 stick... Like that mode switch. Just PM me an adress, I'll check out shipping cost, and let you know, and then send it along its way... Edit: a power supply you will not be needing. Bodnar board gets its power via USB. And the g940 throtlle does not have anything that draws power... oh, apart from maybe the lights in the P1-P8 buttons.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 10, 2011 2. Administrators Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Depending on the voltage required, the Bodnar board could drive the lights as it has two +5V outputs. Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 @Jabo and FT, further to our conversation tonight.

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted December 16, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 To be honest, apart from connecting the pots in the throttle to the Bodnar board, what you need to be doing is quite different... :o As you will not be using a G940 stick, only a throttle and pedals, you'll have to remove the electronics in the throttle completely, and connect all switches/buttons to the bodnar board as well. And the pedals. Hm, as we still have plenty of time to DX, I'll open up my throttle, and have a look inside, see how many connectors need to be created. I can also prepare wiring for connections to the bodnar board. Could then even test it with my own board... And if that looks okay, what if Jabo sends the Bu board to me? Then I can build it in the throttle, and make sure it and the pedals work.... Saves you lots of thinkin', time and soldiering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted March 30, 2012 2. Administrators Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 OK, I'm interested. What are the shipping costs to the UK likely to be Mr Prop? Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PropNut Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 That is a good question sir, let me check with the trusty (sarcasm) United States Posal Service! be right back I'm Baaaaaack. Well, if, and that is a big if, I can get it all to fit into a medium priority mailing box with enough padding to make the trip it should be 48.00USD. If it takes a large priority mailing box it will be 61.00USD Let me know, paypal would be ok for payment. David Edit:Edit:Edit: I also have a full watercooling system for the Core i7 920 that I removed a year or so ago when I stopped using my Steampunked cherry and brass case (as it was designed for that case) I would sell that along with it for another 125.00 if you are interested.

PropNut Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks Rog, I didnt want to bother you with a minor issue since the website disaster of a few months ago. You have had enough headaches to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted April 3, 2012 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think I know what the issue is with the emails now.. possibly.. IPB in their infinite wisdom added a 'Follow This Topic' button. What this does is make the topic appear in the search 'Topics I am Following' and not an email when a reply is made. Apparently the upgrade removed everybody's email notifications... To get an email you have to visit your user control panel-settings and set the notification options: This image shows why I too don't get emails for followed topics: And why I DO get PM notifications etc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
