patched up - need to sort out my controls now

Id like to see how this has improved ( if any ) and if my machine can run it now so is there an idiots guide to patching somewhere ? It is that long since I flew it that I cant even remember how I installed the mod initially. When I launch the game it says MOD over the gunsight and the version is team fusion v1 3.00 which is a bit old, do I need to incrementally patch up or is there one big mega patch that would save me some effort EDIT - I have found this http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5058&p=52711 which seems to answer my own question but if you have any tips or suggestions to help then Id appreciate it TY Dave

for x-52 see vault -documents x-52 layout I have put in the buttons I use as some arnt default but it should give you a template to work from - If you want the actual profile to put in your folder then Ill put it in the vault

In the vault in documents I have uploaded 2 files 1 called bombing guides and 1 called deadfalls bombing guide. I use deadfalls method. Hear is the sequence on a bomb run 1.Go to bomber position 2.hit level stabiliser 3. toggle on bomsight 4.increase sight velocity in sight to match TAS 5.Increase sight altitude to match planes 6.Increase line of sight to match up target 7.use rudder trim to stay on line 8.Once stable and on target hit bombsight auto key 9 If the target is sliding up or down adjust speed - increasing speed will move crosshairs down. 10 bombs will drop automatically. If you are taking off from ground on a SEOW long mission you can put in the rough height and speed before take off to save you time and allow you to concentrate on the target. Manual drops are roughly the same process - do a few practice runs to work out offset for release.e.g see this for sm-79

Thanks guys , hes been warned and has agreed not to do mods so hes back online

My son is addicted to this game , the problem is that when he downloads stuff for this game, sometimes my pc gets infected with homepage hijackers so I was wondering if anyone knew if this was common or could recommend safe sites/practices for downloads for this game. He claims he did nothing wrong etc, but I just cant risk my main pc so he is on his final warning about downloads and will be banned off my computer if I cant resolve this. Thats a shame as he has made mini-games etc and put a lot of time and effort into this, Any help appreciated

+1 LOL or perhaps maybe ......................................................................................no mods at all

Good to have you around again mate. Look forward to seeing and hearing from you online, need to grease my neck muscles to check six now

Many thanks to the guys here, the help is much appreciated hopefully thats me sorted for tomorrow,

thanks friar Ill be online at 1.00 I could connect to FT but need to know if others can find me and connect ok regards dave

I need help with setting up and using skype - have a job interview tomorrow and have never used it before so want to make sure it works ok any help appreciated Dave

Don't know what he is trying to prove, just a sad petty article and I'm sure not representative of how the vast majority feel

Happy Christmas to all here, I hope Santa is good to you all and hope 2014 is a good year for you and your families. Id also like once again to thank all for their support this year, it made a big difference to me and proves once again what a great bunch the Dogz are S Dave

new sata cable fitted last night mate - heres hoping that will cure it

ok its a bit more complicated; Im still having problems with one of my drives when I bought the computer I installed xp on its hard drive - drive 1 when I wanted to upgrade to windows 7 I bought a second drive and installed it on here as a dual boot.- drive 2 It is drive 1 that seems to have a loose connection and thats what caused the origonal problem. Drive 1 has the master boot files and so thats why these are corrupted.And I cant seem to get it fixed properly. I dont need all the partitions on drive 1 , only 1 has programs I use but I think it will be difficult to save these. The problem is either drive connections, sata lead or motherboard Anyway plan is to swop the Sata leads one final time to try to secure all connections, then make drive 2 ( win 7) bootable and active and finally if drive is still erratic then copy the partition I need and install this onto a new hard drive If its the motherboard then Im screwed and itll be a new pc

Thanks guys ran the startup repair from the windows disc , then the command line on the windows recovery, then ran bootrec and seems ok. Still puzzled about the cause, I suspect a faulty connection so I will strip, clean and reinstall everything on tuesday when I have a bit of time Im also going to get an external harddrive and mirror the drive in case it is the drive giving out good to have the reassurance here thanks Dave S

Computer crashed due to power trip and when I restarted had the error message "DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER", The drives are detected in BIOS so I switched the boot sequence and booted off my win 7 disc, did a repair but no joy. The sysetm boots off the windows disc and everything is ok bit I cant boot off the hard drive. I think I have to repair the mbr? what is the best way to do this? how do I know what partition this is on ? I have 2 harddrives each with partitions on them

I agree around 50$ for standard game and around 90$ for game plus 2 additional planes ?!! Im not risking that until I see some concrete reviews and specs

nice pics, I was there around 1975 with my folks, one of our last family holidays, and I fondly remember it. We were staying in a small hotel near the museum and there was an ex RAF pilot ,who flew in the middle east between the wars, staying there also. He was kind enough to spend some evenings with an enthusiastic teanager pestering him but unfortunatly I cant remember any of his stories now. My Dad drove a ford zodiak almost non stop home to central scotland at the end of the holiday.

Have a great day tomorrow guys, I'm just back from Paris and will be chilling out after walking for bloody miles

anyone following the developments here http://forum.il2sturmovik.net/ ? any thoughts? Personally I think the ROF team have done a good job but there are some worrying aspects in the dev updates e.g. having to do offline campaign to get upgrades, not something I ever associated with flight sims , more x-box shooters getting XP points. good to see a lot of the old ubi names on the forums as well tho we live in interesting times

superb !!!!!

The memorial was very moving and the replica was dedicated to all fliers who died during OTU at Grangemouth, the spitfire is a replica of that flown by Sargent Eugeniusz Lukomsky from poland There were representatives from the RAF, British Legion, Poland,Czechoslovakia , Australia and New Zealand. there is some photos here http://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/news/local-headlines/grangemouth-air-cadets-unveil-spitfire-memorial-1-2925235 and these are the ones I took one of the veterans attending links to his story http://heroesreturn.org/heroes-return/ian-forsyths-story/ http://local.stv.tv/hamilton/news/features/108216-war-veteran-pays-his-respects-to-fallen-comrades-in-normandy/ flypast The building in the background with the blue writing was one of the origonal hangers from the aerodrome
