Carl do you need an assistant, i'll work for nothing.

Im a big fan of Monty's il2 movies very talented chap and he's always willing to help out with questions on the il2 movie maker forum.

At 10 seconds i had 38fps at 2.30mins i had 42fps, the highest was 57fps and i reckon the average is low-mid 30's.

Thankyou for all your help gentleman, its running nice and smooth now.

Latest dxdiag. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 10/8/2006, 14:12:42

Right chaps, i ran cpuz and i have a nvidia 3, i got driver cleaner and ran that process.I downloaded the platform nforce drivers and installed them, did the sound tweak and the il2 setup change and it seems to run alot smoother.I then run a dxdiag again but that still says AGP Status: Not Available. I unchecked the IDE like you said chris in the list of what to install but i couldn't see anything relating to graphics there.Do i have to enable anything else. Thankyou for all your help lads im not out to get a super fast system its just when taking off in the game my frame rate was low and its tricky at the best of times.

How in the hell did we end up with frikken paul daniels. Great video

Thankyou for your help Dave i will have alook at what you have pointed out, your help is much appreciated.

I run the BD track, the lowest i saw was 10fps highest was 54 i think the average would be mid twenty's. I tried to post myDxDiag but got this error message. The following error or errors occurred while posting this message: The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (20000 characters). Which bits do you need and i'll post them, or do you need it all.

This is aimed at our very gifted IT dept. I have a ATI X700 is there any way i can get a few more frames out of it, i have the ATI Tray tools but im not sure on what to tick and fiddle with.I have a 3000+ AMD Athlon 64 and 1.50GB ram. Any help or idiots guide would be great. cheers chaps.

I try to fly on Hyperlobby when i have a spare hour just to get abit of online practice, as its a different game compared to flying on your own as a solo player. Maybe we could add a hyperlobby channel to one of the teamspeak servers so when anyone goes to play online they could checkout the comms room on the homepage of the web site and see if any other DD's are flying, that way you could have a wingman who you know and be able to have comms.All good practice maybe?

Jeremy on the subject of your PSP skills would you fancy doing a post on a basic colouring a template for a il2 skins, i would like to have ago at this but dont know

Hi Marco,

Last night a question was raised on the FW variants, this is what the Jane's Vintage Aircraft Recognition Guide has on the A/F/G difference's. The FW 190 caught the RAF by surprise when it appeared over the channel front in 1941, and it remained unmatched in aerial combat until the advent of the Spitfire Mk IX in late 1942.Powered by the compact BMW 801 radial engine, the FW 190 boasted excellent handling characteristics to match its turn of speed.The A-model FW190S were the dedicated fighter variants, and as the design matured so more guns were fitted and more power squeezed out of the BMW engine.By the end of 1942, production of the FW190 accounted for half of all German fighters built that year, and the fighter-bomber F/G had also been developed- F-models entered frontline service on the Eastern Front during the winter of 1942-43.All manner of ordnance from bombs to rockets could be carried by the fighter-bomber FW190, and additional protective armour for the pilot was added around the cockpit.Variants of the FW190 saw action against the Allies on all fronts of the war in Europe, and the aircraft remained a deadly opponent until VE-Day. Hope this is of interest

First class as always glenn, great missions made for a real sense of tension in not losing midway at the start.Its hard to take off when your shaking with nerves and i managed to shot down a zero, what a bonus.Would love to play it again.

What time is the kick off for tonights action, in gmt please

The b-17 is great, managed to sink a carrier and land it back on midway on 2 engines :arrow: i have put the track in the resources bit on the web site.

Im a RED devil. :twisted:

Your better off packing a scuba outfit, cause your going to need one to find your carriers. :shock:

Just watched the track rog, great flying by yourself and bbloke between you, you never missed a thing.Now i see why i get my ass kicked ever week.Learnt a few things though watching it, great stuff.
