2 hour trying to get boonty box crap to work so I can download patch - not fuckin happy I have paid and have code but everytime I launch boontybox.exe and select language then my pc freezes. sorry about rant but very pissed off just now- will try again tomorrow.

I wont be able to get it until monday due to work but then Ill do a copy of my origonal so I can run 2 versions- I take it you just copy the il2fb folder somewhere- that will be old version and then patch up origonal for PE version.

for power generators ask B "Sparky" G hes blown up a few in his time- :violent2: he might be able to sell you one cheep

Please read and follow the instructions to ghost carefully- see link above and ghost home page on web-I wiped out a partition by backing up from one partition into another partition and not from partition into image on backup partition :oops: - fortunatly I had backed up my data on this file or I would have lost my digital photographs. I would make sure that no matter what you buy that you partition it and keep one or two partitions soley for ghost backups so you reduce chances of errors.

USA evening time would be too late for me In any case I cant promise regular attendance due to work and family, I already do my best to make the Thursdays and Sundays, any more might be pushing my luck with she-who-must-be obayed

the hes will circle the last way point until they run out of fuel - which will take some time so the idea is to nail them before this happens- :wink: - ignore the mission completed message this doesnt count - only the time to down all 8 It is best to assign a key to record a track in the game - this will record as a ntrk file and is better than trying to record afterwards- I use shift+t to record- you will need to assign this under controls-under quick start/save track key- it gets saved as quick0001.ntrk etc hope this helps

:shock: however if it had been you mate -Im sure I would have had a much shorter mission with nice views of the action from my chute. :wink:

nice dazza- is this a new tactic? fly through them and hope they miss you and shoot each other down ? actually Iv never seen the bomber gunners hit their own side - anyone ? there was a tale from the war from one of the B17 crews that Me 109 pilot flew along side them for a few minuites right in the heart of a box - then waved and split Sd away - always took it with a large dose of salt but maybe our Dazza is trying it out

I have started recording tracks of most of my engagements and play them back to see how I fly and Iv picked up many pointers. The main thing is that in a dogfight there is a very thin line between success and failure - for example on Sunday there was a good match up with spits vs Me109 k s , I was flying a spit and never saw one of the bandits close and actually hit me - fortunatly the shot didnt appear to do any damage and I went into a spiral dive and shook him off- I went on to fly and score well in that mission but it could have been so different - anyway this wee tale is just to recommend that you all think about recording tracks if you dont already do so . Oh and Check six !!!!!

thanks- Iv done it before for other pics- the pics above are jpegs but for some reason it has stopped working ?!? - will try again EDIT-got to download to site using filezila in first pic Im firing from long range as the p-38 was running away from me slightly and I couldnt close - managed to hit engine with this shot and then closed and finished it off

Hi mate- you will need to uninstall your existing copy - either through windows add remove or via the cd, then you will be able to install the new version. if you want to keep your old folders for campaigns , skins etc then copy the entire il2fb folder to another directory or better still another partition and name it something like il2backup. for good info on installing/uninstalling, multiple installs and trouble shooting see here http://www.airwarfare.com/guides/patching.htm good luck

got to download to site using filezila

I like variety and appreciate the work that people put into the missions to make them different or more playable so please keep tinkering away

hope so Ill be there on the Sunday if anyone else is

check your conf file in your main folder it should have this section [HotKey game] PrintScreen=ScreenShot P=pause Pause=pause if not add the first line above for full details on conf file see my guide here http://www.airwarfare.com/guides/config_guide.htm

The carrier pidgeon has just dropped off your e-mail with track - takes time for things to arrive in the old country-thanks Ill watch it later. A confirmed leader in the clubhouse - all destroyed in around 45 mins good thinking using the accelerated time to get hurricane into position and some excellent shooting

Do you have a time and track mate ?

Pooka Fsautostart baisically automatically shuts down some services. you can choose to do this yourself by following this guide http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=12 As for programs - you can usually disable them from launching on startup by either right clicking the icon of the program in the box next to the clock and looking for properties and looking for an option to disable or type msconfig in run box and look in startup tab see explination here http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/ there is also a program called enditall which does the same thing as fsautostart so you could try this but it is shareware now. http://www.docsdownloads.com/enditall-1.htm or here http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,697,00.asp you could also check out my article here for some tips http://www.airwarfare.com/guides/il2opt ... _guide.htm One word of warning- before tweaking back up your system !!!!!!!! make sure you only disable those programs and services that you know are not important - do not disable your firewall or antivirus if you are online good luck

when playtesting I got them all with the spit and the hawk (p-40) - the spit was too easy with the cannon. :mrgreen: I got 3 or 4 with the hurricane so should be possible to get all 8. :wink: The secret I found was to cull them out of the herd. Just get them leaking fuel or smoking on a pass and break and move onto next bandit and repeat. It will take a few passes on each plane. I have never been able to bring one of those SOBs down in a single run. If it aint possible with the huricane then Ill take the fastest time with the hawk as I know this is definatly possible. but Im sure you can do it with the hurricane psycho I like jensenparks suggestion so a second medel for the most downed on LIMITED ammo with the spitfire

Hmmm, interesting.....ehrm......I mean, what kind of loser would use that? That's a heinous cheat, that I didn't know about, and therefore must try out just to prove how terrible it is! :x I didnt know about it either until I flew on UKDED :oops: - In fact I flew on UKDED1 for about a month before I realised they had wonder women and externals enabled- coouldnt work out how some were pulling off the crazy deflection shots :shock: - anyway I dont play there now , just warclouds and UKded2. So even tho they allow externals I like the guys on UKDED2- most fly pit on and the cracks good there, and I get better pings than US servers. but if you use F6 in co-ops Iv heard that the Rightious Fairey of Fair Play will come along and remove yer reproductive gear :dmage:

F6 switches to externals and padlocks the nearest enemy aircraft F7 switches to externals and padlocks the nearest enemy ground target I dislike the use of these as much as wonder-woman on servers- as on some servers people use F6 as a radar- you can never bnz or sneak on them as they see you coming for miles, unfortunatly you cant fly with externals on and disable these so we are stuck with them. I think externals are ok for co-ops, to view action once you have been shot down or for takeoffs but I have always flown closed pit as it gives me the most immersion.

I hav ee-mailed the latest mission to you all - anyone who didnt get it please e-mail me and I will send out a copy - hope you enjoy this A wee taster
