Thanks FT! And thanks for putting the CheckMods together...
It only took 34 minutes (!!!) to fix all the issues.

I'm patched up to 4.09m.
I also DL'd UP 2.0 from the vault and, throwing caution to the wind, threw it into my IL2 folder... How do I know if it properly installed? Any verification I can do?
thanks mates,

And it rocks!
I finally got off my butt and tried it on my old 17" monitor. It is one neat piece of software!
I haven't tried out the TB Tool Kit you made yet. I'm using Wraith's IL2 profile at the moment because it has all the trim options (rather than just the centering) and that's what I really need the most, though I really like your WBK profiles especially the comms page. Also, yours looks varry varry naice!
Eventually I think I'll try making a very simple profile for myself, I don't need all the bells and whistles (as I already have a full HOTAS set-up + Logitech rumble pad as a button bay) just the last commands that are still on the keyboard so I don't have to pull it out during an IL2 session.
Anyway, if any of the Dogz have an old monitor sitting around give TouchBuddy a try, it works with a mouse even if you don't have a touch screen (... must resist temptation to buy ...) and is really cool!

Actually I kinda enjoyed that (OK, not the 2:30 thing) but overall it was well done, especially the voice-actor dude who really sounded like the pre-view voice guy.
Fun stuff

On Saturday I went to the local hobby shop with the family and my son saw an 1/72nd A-10A model kit (Hasegawa) for C$10.50.
The primary attraction was that it comes with shark-mouth decals
He wants to paint it in Spider-Man colours... should be a fun build with him Anyway, long-story short, I bought it and the little history on the construction sheets indicates that the A-10A does not discharge the shell casings because the amount of weight lost when firing the GAU-8 alters the center of gravity significantly, so it needs to retain the casings to mitigate the CoG changes.
It's a freaking cool plane alright!

As I understand it, there aren't many things in the universe that you DON'T find yourself strangely attracted to, Painless

Pretty solid thumbs up from most of you on this movie.

LOL! That's great

Very interesting read! Thanks for posting this!

You've done a wonderful job. The house looks beautiful.
-
My wife wants you to know that you have "just the most charming little house", Delta.
I agree. It also looks like you've done a lovely job restoring/maintaining the wood/glass and detailing... shame the neighbour hasn't done the same.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, D.

1/24th Airfix Mossie!!
-
Thanks guys! I sure miss flying with you but it doesn't look like I'll be able to for a while...
I got some music and books from my lovely wife and.... Trumpeter's 1/24th Hawker Hurricane :-D (FANTASTIC model) for myself to join the 1/24th MPC Spitfire (horrible 1970's model--- spent 4 hours trimming flash from it) and the 1/24th Airfix Bf-109E (very nice model) to complete my BOB fighter set in 1/24th.
I can't do them to the standards you guys can but I'm having fun. I took advantage of the day off yesterday to install a micromotor in the Spit's RR to spin the prop, and spray-paint the bottom... the other two are going to stay boxed until the Spit is done.

LOL, whoda thunk that Verizon could spank my cable! Is that really on a phone line!
I would think it is fibre optics right to front door. Whether it is cable or phone would not make a difference. You will only get this in areas of very high density.
Well, I'm very dense so why is my connection crap? Huh?

Was that vid taken on the occasion of the recreation of a dambuster raid?
Interesting point about the sound!! Very surprising, living in Toronto I have heard the Lancaster based in Hamilton fly above and it has that rich deep sound... nothing like the vid!
-
not FFB
-
As an aside, I like that the videoplayer's volume goes up to 11. I mean, it's one louder than 10.

I have always thought of you as having a Full Member. I'll join you in a wee dramm though.
Where's JP with the sexual innuendo?
-
Man... between this puppy and the Logitech 940 it's going to be a tough choice for those able to shell out that kind of dime for a FFB control set up.
+ for the Saitek: all metal construction; + for Logitech: comes with rudder.

Very interesting CaptJAck, thanks for that.
-
Thank you all for your thoughts mates.
Much appreciated.
