UPdate - it seems to be a problem if you run a game in a different resolution from desktop - 1280* 1024 - I have moved all my game resolutions to this setting and the problem seems to have gone away for no w- Im also thinking of investing in a better cooler for the card.

welcome mate - hope to see you soon on line- some background to help you settle in We are more of a fun squad than interested in many rules and regs 1) we play mainly co-ops but occaisonal dogfight nights 2) we do play pacific theatre so make sure you know how to take off from a carrier - wing extend , chocks etc 3) dont worry about landing most of us prefer the fiery route to ground 4) we play cockpit on and have a gentlemans agreement only to use externals for taxying and taking off /landing so the use of F6 is frowned upon 5) if you need any help just shout someone will be along soon to try to help you out 6) if you dont already know of this site then you will find a lot of help and tips on improving at www.airwarfare.com 7) have FUN hope this helps

thanks all - have changed to vanilla cats and seems to be better - so ill stick with these.

Hi flash and welcome to forums , unfortunatly I believe our membership is currently full, however please wait until Blairgowrie confirms this. Im sure he will be in touch soon with more details,

Im starting to get graphical glitches When I start any 3d game the load screen goes into like horizontal triangular mozaics. I hit the windows key , CTRL _ALT _DEL and close game then relaunch game and everything is OK. This happens for IL2FB, UT2004 and RED ORCHESTRA - Once in the game I get no problems - so far -and have played for over 2 hrs I even put the black death track on loop for 30 mins with no problems- its only at launch I get this. It started 2 days ago - I cleaned everything and reinstalled a pci blower so I know all my fans are clean and working and the case is as cool as I can get it. After cleaning it ran ok for a day but now its back. the card is an ati 850 . It does not seem to matter what resolutions I have the game at - the monitor is a VP930 running at default resolution and I usually play the game at 1024*768* 32 in excllent settings I dont have heat sensors on card or motherboard so I cant run mbm to get temps, but the ambient temp in the room is warmer the past few days- Scotlands 2 days of Summer. I am running the latest omega drivers based on Cat 6.5 with ATI tray tools and I while I was going through the options in ATI tools the other day I dont believe I changed anything that would cause this. Tonight I am going to revisit ATI tools and check all the options - there is a good guide on here http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_10.html If this doesnt work Ill try the 6.3 version which was stable and as a last resort the new ATI catalyst drivers and I might underclock it to see if this helps If you guys can think of anything Im missing then please post to help out. I m at work so cant post dxdiag but apart from updating omega drivers I havnt made any hardware/software changes recently It stinks of heat problems but I hope its not -

Just ordered this- £8 aint bad http://www.play.com/Games/PC/PROD/3-/87 ... add=877318 got excellent reviews on SIMHQ http://www.simhq.com/_air6/air_210a.html I dont fly offline often but Ian Boys has done sterling work on this sim with maps etc so Ill try this out. sure Quazi has it and he liked it.

I have used a hoover but prefer the hairdrier - or can of compressed air - it seems to get into all the corners better

WOW thanks for posting mate

I started to get graphical glitches when he game was loading- done it with other games too so today I gave the inside of my PC a spring clean - WOW - more dust than a dusty thing covered in dust :shock: I blew it out with a hairdrier set to blow. anyway I seem to be ok now - I hope this has cured it- the card is only 6 months old. anyway it might be a good time for people to check their cooling systems and make sure they are clean and working. when working inside your PC - TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST STATIC- remove power supply and earth yourself before touching anything Yep even in Scotland it gets warm for two days in the year :roll:

hope this helps

TThanks guys Ill give it a try

I was bitching about my problem with map loading and stopping- well last night I remembered somthing Rog said about TS display so I stopped using this and have had no probs since - TY ROG Apologies in advance if I get your names wrong on TS guys but Im not going to use this anymore so I might make some mistakes :oops:

Found this on my regular trawls of my favoutite sites - well worth reading http://www.virtualpilots.fi/hist/WW2His ... cture.html The finnish air force were among the best led and deadliest fighters in WW2 with tremendous success against the odds and this was from one of their experten

Rattler - Im sure we will be flying IL2FB for a while to come - BOB will have few planes and maps and co-ops when launched - it will take some time to get up to the level of what we have. And it will have to be something special for me to assign IL2 to the bin . I enjoy flying the later war planes and so do many others so I think there will still be a need for IL2 FB

Im down in Windsor for hols in august and hope to make the spitfire day http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/server/show/conEvent.882

sged - this game does not support 6dof - but the new battle of britain will. however the tir4 is better than tir3 +ve and is the version I would go for- you can see my comments in the link I gave to Quazi above. I have used 6dof in WOV Battle of britain and it is awsome - I cant wait to see it in one of Olegs sims.

Quazi - when I did the review for TIR 3 I credited a guy with helping me as I used his profile. He got in touch and is actually a beta tester for TIR. Anyway when I did the review for TIR 4 I realised that a lot of people would like help in setting up profiles so I got in touch with him and he produced this excellent guide http://www.airwarfare.com/guides/tir_setup.htm there is also some thoughts and hints from users here http://www.airwarfare.com/AWX/features/ ... review.htm so S to charvel for his profile - which I still use and to the others- I just put them together mate.

well done mate

il sticks is the same as the control section in the game - it just makes it easier to adjust- both write to your config file when you use il2 sticks you are editing one profile , which contains all controllers. when you click on an axis e.g. roll Il2 sticks will display the stick id and the axis you are editing - your peddels will be id 0 and your joystick id 1 - see section below for all controler ids and axis the other way is to edit the config file manually - open main folder - right click conf file - edit FROM TULLYS INSTRUCTIONS Before commencing any edits, make a backup of the conf.ini file by making a copy and renaming it conf.bak. This will make it easier to fix any catastrophic errors we may make. Once you've backed up the existing conf.ini file, open it using notepad and scroll down to the section that looks like this: [rts_joystick] X=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0 Y=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0 Z=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 RZ=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 FF=0 U=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 V=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 1X=0 13 21 28 39 53 65 77 88 96 100 0 1Y=0 22 28 37 45 54 65 77 88 97 100 0 1RX=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1RZ=0 35 41 48 56 67 76 82 89 95 100 0 1U=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1V=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1Z=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1X1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1Y1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1RX1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1RZ1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1U1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1V1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 Now this looks very daunting at first, but don't be disheartened. Each line corresponds to one controller axis and six of the first seven lines don't even apply unless you're flying an early patch version (pre v1.04) of the original IL2 Sturmovik game. The line FF=0 is the Force Feedback toggle. If you're using a force feedback joystick and have forces switched on it will be set FF=1. The lines we're interested in start with the line beginning "1X=.....". The lines beginning 1X, 1Y, 1RX, 1RZ, 1U, 1V & 1Z correspond to the Windows ID#1 controller (there may be more or less in your file, depending on the number of axes present on your controllers). The lines corresponding to the ID#2 controller begin 1X1, 1Y1, 1RX1, 1RZ1 etc. If you have more controllers plugged in you will also have 1X2, 1Y2, 1RX2, 1RZ2 etc for Windows ID#3 and so forth. Though the author has never tested, it is believed that the IL2 series supports up to four controllers. After the axis designation tag at the start of each line there are twelve numbers. The numbers correspond to the slider control in the Hardware Setup / Input screen in the game, though that screen only has sliders for the controller showing in Windows as ID#1. The first number in each line corresponds to the deadband setting for that axis, the last number is the filtering setting and the ten numbers in between correspond to the ten sensitivity sliders found in the game's joystick setup screen. In order to set up your primary flight controller with the same sensitivity as you had before installing your second controller, you'll need to identify which line correspond to the axes of your second controller. When you assigned axes in the game controls screen you made notes of the axis designations. If you didn't, start the game now and write them down. The designations used there usually correspond as shown in the following table: Controller Controls Screen conf.ini ID#1 X-Axis 1X ID#1 Y-Axis 1Y ID#1 X-Axis Rotation 1RX ID#1 Z-Axis Rotation 1RZ ID#1 U-Slider 1U ID#1 V-Slider 1V ID#2 X-Axis ID2 1X1 ID#2 Y-Axis ID2 1Y1 ID#2 X-Axis Rotation ID2 1RX1 ID#2 Z-Axis Rotation ID2 1RZ1 ID#2 U-Slider ID2 1U1 ID#2 V-Slider ID2 1V1 here is my section [rts_joystick] X=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0 Y=0 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 0 Z=0 5 10 15 25 35 50 66 80 90 100 0 RZ=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 FF=0 U=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 V=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 0 1X=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 95 0 1Y=0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 95 0 1RZ=0 45 52 58 65 68 72 77 83 88 95 20 1U=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1V=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1X1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 95 0 1Y1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 95 0 1Z1=0 40 45 52 58 65 72 77 83 88 95 0 1RZ1=0 40 45 52 58 65 72 77 83 88 95 0 1X2=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1Y2=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1Z2=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1RZ2=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1RX=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1U1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1RX1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1Z=0 35 40 48 54 60 66 72 80 87 95 30 1V1=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1X3=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1Y3=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1Z3=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 1RZ3=0 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 0 good luck

as badaim ssaid - you are doing nothing wrong - your pedals are now controller 1 and your joystick controller 2 go to controls section in the game and reassign commands in hotas section at the bottom to get everything working then use il2 sticks to set up sensitivity the links are http://www.airwarfare.com/tech/sticks.htm to set up your controllers http://www.airwarfare.com/Sims/FB/fb_es ... es.htm#087 for seting up goood luck

dont remember the stars but here are some fun shots from a recent meet

found this where waldo .pepper helps out - migth be a good idea to e-mail him mate http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 005773/p/1 see this advice from thread http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 6871063973

VT are they gameport or usb ? If gasmeport you need to download the analogue drivers see here http://www.chproducts.com/retail/tech_chanlg.html http://www.chproducts.com/retail/tech_support_pc.html you will also need to ensure your gameport drivers are loaded for the soundcard - but as you have said that another device worked before this should not be necessary. If this does not work try posting here http://www.ch-hangar.com/forum/index.php?act=idx there used to be a boot disc available for analogue ch products to work on XP on that forum but I cant find them the reason I know is that I was going to try and get the analogue ones but ended up just buying the usb agter reading about the trouble some people had getting analogue to work. If they are usb then try various usb slots to test them out and if no luck then post in ch-hanger - someone might be able to help there. good luck

It is a really nice beer (ale) its a bit light and I prefer it in the summer months- prefer the darker more malty ales in the winter these go down better with a whisky chaser. more of the same - soccer themed http://www.spitfireale.co.uk/advertising/cartoons.htm nice quirky site I also liked this http://www.spitfireale.co.uk/spitfire_mess4.htm so worth visiting and checking out the links- the ones already shown are in the wallpaper section with some others - I like " rear gunners drink shandy "
