You missed your calling on stage Jim!

Your path to IL2 is probably (like gec says): c:\program files\ubi soft\il2 sturmovik\ I would create a new folder in the root of C called IL2, then copy the contents of c:\program files\ubi soft\il2 sturmovik\ into it. That way it is simple to patch and you won't run into the Vista permissions issues.

Sweet! You're still a vandal though I'll delete the other thread!

Oops, I'll add: 'to the article in response'. My comment on the topic was largely tongue in cheek, it was after all JP and for anyone to take offense at anything he says would be really funny (only kidding Kelly - I'm a fan!).

Flabbergasted.. When I was un-employed and getting benefits not that long ago my council wouldn't pay the full rent on my home, because we have one bedroom too many! And I don't know how people survive on benefits here, in my experience the 'handouts' are insufficient to meet the utility bills let alone buy food or clothing! What really worries me about that article is the comments that have been posted, is there really an as yet hidden extreme anti-Islam swell? [off-topic]The title for this post comes very close to being insulting - us Brits have no love for that bastard either... I'll stop now.[/off-topic]

Really tight! And a long peek too Was shocked to see how low down some of those maneuvers were, they were really good.

Wow, now that is cold! We're getting almost excited that there may be flurries of snow here on Friday... [off-topic]Wonder if this tag works?[/off-topic] Yup it does [off-topic]Usual blarney[/off-topic]

Shit, so what Painless has is contagious?

Don't worry about the registry JP, you don't need it unless you have a 3rd party application that relies upon it (none spring to mind). Systems failing to run IL2 over the network (as you last post suggests you are trying) is no surprise, given time they will probably spring to life considering the amount of data that is required to start the game. IL2 will run perfectly off the disk, and when you copy it all back to your main disk post format/re-install. I have not re-installed IL2 for years...but have fromatted many times

+1 on it not being your router Augusto. I agree with Snacko, possible graphics driver or sound driver issue. CPU temp ok too?

I'm right, and if anyone disagrees I'm going to ban myself... So there. What was this about again?

Err....is it just me or what? What a crap calendar, ony One tin a day? Is it some sort of diet? I'd want at least two or three for breakfast alone... Unless this is implying the Scottish are tight?

As others have reported, I don't always get to see posts i have not read when I click the 'Show unread posts since last visit' link. However I get 39 Pages of them when I click this: http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0 Ooops! Got 3 weeks holiday starting tomorrow (Friday) so will upgrade the forums to V2 from current v1.1.1.0 (pretty sure all forum mods we use are now available for the new version )

Thanks Augusto, and merry Christmas and a stunning 2010 to you too (and I didn't notice the socks 'til you mentioned it )

The missing icons is linked to your Firefox problem I think, I have icons fine. You got 3.5.5 Firefox (help-about)?

ctrl+shift+delete in firefox. Clear out all cache files to start, if still no joy repeat and clear out cookies too.

I feel sorry for Ralph the Reindeer, that was so cruel but he was the first Anvilnaut

Tell us your budget! Whatever that may be, and taking into account variable pricing in different countries (us Euro's get raped by the US companies sadly when it comes to pricing) you have two choices of architecture: 1. Intel with an i5 or i7 CPU (top of the range i7 is £780 here in the UK) and a DDR 3 based board. 2. AMD PhenomII CPU, dual or quad core again coupled with a DDR 3 based board Choice of above combined with either an ATi or nVidia GPU, two hard drives and a DVD writer (or Blue Ray if budget stretches). Best bet would be for you to post up the model of the Mac you would have bought, we on the other bits of land can then compare local price of that against our local prices for a component build shopping list. You will end up with a 'smokin' system, and have the added bonus of the satisfaction of building it and increasing your knowledge of computers.

Personally I would not buy a Mac unless I had a good business reason to do so because: 1. Overpriced. 2. Software availability 3. Previous investment in Windows Software. 4. Learning curve required to become as comfortable with OSX as I am with Windows. Yes you can run Windows in a virtual machine, but performance is lousy and suitable only for office applications. Yes you can dual boot with an Intel based Mac, but if you want to run Windows then better value for money buying a PC unless Mac software requirement. Running WINE on a Mac is not for the faint hearted, a good degree of knowledge of both the Windows and the OSX environment is required. So unless you have a well founded reason for buying a Mac (you can't get equivalent software on PC for example) then don't bother. Case in point: My brother was persuaded by a guy he employed that he needed a Mac, not a PC, for his brochure production. So he bought a Mac, Photoshop and Illustrator and ended up paying more than double to do what he could have easily done on a PC with the same software and not alienated his brother who did his best to support his business IT (me being said brother ). Getting the Mac to work with the PCs was a nightmare, as was the Mac implementation of wireless networking... He had Windows based systems already... and three years down the line he still struggles with his Mac! I'm not a fan of Macs, I will be buying one next year possibly for software development for iPhone though..

I just got an Acer 24", with native HD 1920 x 1080 resolution(ACER/TFT/V243HBD) for £150 inc. Really pleased with it, not tried it with IL2 yet (have to re-install all my controllers in readyness for my 3 week Xmas holiday ). I would say to make sure it supports a higher resolution, compare specs amongst same size panels, and look for quick refresh rate and high contrast ratios. DVI/HDMI inputs are becoming a must have if you also want to view DVD movies, and multiple inputs can be a boon if you have a laptop or 2nd system.

One thing is for sure, with Win 7 you must install drivers with Admin privs by right clicking and running as administrator, otherwise some kooky stuff can happen. Found this with the original 7 ATI drivers. (to be fair 7 has pretty good drivers already installed as ATI themselves admit albeit without the control panel).

Not going to miss this one.. Expecting to still be in contract @ Reuters July 2010, but will be taking a summer break this time. If we are still in our house here in Cambridgeshire we will have a couple of spare beds plus floor space and a few gaming rigs. Might consider the Normady bit too, and as I have 2 7 seaters it could help..

Or not, as he seems to be saying

Damn - our secret weapon has been discovered, which PR twerp allowed that! - oh, and yum yum! In my day we had WRAC*s (Weekly Ration of Army Crumpet) who's looks could peel wallpaper at fifty paces, and that is not a compliment! *Womans Royal Auxillary Corps - since disbanded and the 'fairer' (yeah right) sex absorbed into the mainstream Army.
