As the older hands will tell you my shooting sucks. I have worked on this for a while. there is info posted in the vault - the RAF gunnery guide http://www.dangerdogz.com/K9Vault/p13_sectionid/5/p13_fileid/241 here are some other training missions I use http://www.dangerdogz.com/K9Vault/p13_sectionid/5/p13_fileid/212 there is also darts video and over at simhq aircraft library there are articles by andy bush What professer asays about ping is key - a low ping will improve you a lot , but learn to lead that extra 1/2 ring online Here is what helps me 1) Get close - 300m max , 200m optimum 2) set your convergence low - 200m 3) If the plane in front is turning, dont pull on the stick to follow, you will always fire behind it. Reposition your plane to get a lower angle off then fire. 4) have patience. the guy has made a mistaske allowing you to get in a firing position, dont blow your position trying desperatly for a shot. Fly smart and keep you r E up and the gun position will come again. Fly stupid and you will , stall/ overshoot/ bleed E and suddenly you are on the defensive and even madder with yourself 5) record tracks and view from externals and from the enemy plane and see how far your bullets miss. 6) good suggestion about using the P-51 gyro gunsight , this really shows you how much lead you need. But remember this is for .50 cals. For 20mm you will need to lead more and for 30mm more still. hope this helps S

It was my feeble attempt at a joke David. No Problems Jim S

well done rattler jnr. I used to make 1/72 tanks to go with my airfix soldiers. My favourite was the tiger tank

Software worked fine last night. I closed the running TIR program I then installed the TIR5 into a fresh directory, not over my TIR4 directory I copied my profiles from my TIR4 directory into my TIR5 directory and selected my edited Charvel profile and everything was fine

version 5 is available from here http://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/06-support/support-download-software-and-manuals.html It works for TIR 4 and I

Looking good - I fancy a 1/32 ME109 F4 but Iv got a few to finish first. Do you find that the detailing work like the cockpit is easier on the larger scale? My eyes are getting old for the 1/48th

Admiral or Direct Line are worth looking at , direct line arnt on the comparison sites

I posted my settings here afrte a few folk asked for them http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&op=show&kid=555 I am rock steady on black death 60fps with vsync on

@sged the weathering was done with humbrol silver and a small piece of sponge for larger areas and a needle for the panel/hatch scratches @fooltrottel The tyres are grey as I was going to do dark washes on them but then couldnt be bothered , I liked them light so left them alone- might darken them later if my mood changes mate

zero finished has a problem with the varnish so not entirely happy with finish, was very smooth until I put on a coat of silk and when it dried it was streaky and has not dried to a smooth finish so had to do some repairs which wernt as good as the origonal paint job - I suppose its only really noticable if you look for it but a bit annoying after all the work

this one is my next purchase http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-032-DE the overclockers forums have good reviews of all monitors mate http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=85

As Sulky said the 9800 is the nvidea upgrade to the 8800 that I run just now. It isnt the fastest available but good enough for what you want just now. e.g. I have a dual core Intel processor and 512mb nvidea 8800GT and 2mb memory and I get rock steady 60 fps with nsync on across anything the game can throw at me e.g. black death or kamikazi track, I can also run ARMA 2 so far with little slowdown

Hi sged - the plane was sprayed allover the light grey first, then the demarcation line was done with tamiya masking tape and the top painted - I used tamiya acryllics throughout. I plan to only lightly weather it . I will do a wash to highlight the panels then very light chipping. I will do faint powder lines for the exhaust and guns and then put a final coat of varnish 50% klear to 50 % satin to dull it down a bit If you have good tips for effective chipping then please post them here mate , mine always look a bit overdone and false I like how this guy finished his http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2601013236/m/7221064657?r=1561005677#1561005677 so will probably try to be very similar

friar got a nice machine http://www.dangerdogz.com/forums/index.php/topic,7284.msg61196.html#msg61196 have a read through his thread mate as it has good info - as always you get what you pay for but if its just for il2 then you dont have to go full bore, if its upgrade potential then check out what some of the latest fps gamer sites recommend e.g. for arma 2 Optimal PC System Requirements

Just back from a Dr Who exhibition at a local museum - k-9 daleks spit Messerschmitt One from last week - a memorial to costal command at North Berwich

latest update

Shift_E is a good guy and in addition to the mission tuner developed a Voice Activated Control program which is excellent. You can operate ant key press by voice command only e.g. drop flaps , cockpit open etc. It is paticularly immersive for talking to the AI instead of having to use the menus See he has a nice shiney and professional looking site here
