Difficulty Settings for the match I will propose the following, please confirm our preferences; 1. Your own plane on the mini-map 2. Speed bar on 3. No enemy view (air or ground) externals 4. Our Short range icons dot 20km, colour 0.1, range 1.0, type 0.8, id 0.5, name 0.4 5. No Padlock Agree / disagree / suggest something else? Note: I added No Padlock after some of you had said ok, but I guess that it is still ok.

very nice streak.....planning on joining a Barber Shop Quartet?

The pictures for "Fanuary" will be interesting........

Nice idea for a post FT, will prove very useful I think

IgnoreSwep=1 (where has the laughing dog gone from the smiley's?) Interestingly FT, when I was looking for threads on this subject Fruitbat posted and he had Texcompres=0 Is this card dependant?

Brilliant, thats got it back to what I had it at before. 5 points to Brando and Sid (Sid - match back on for the 9th by the way)

Spot on old chap, made the change and the sky now looks right. My next question for a further 5 points... Screen resolution...I have been mucking about with the settings and have cocked things up I think. I have a 1920 x 1080 HD monitor If I set the resolution in the game to the same it seems to stretched. What should my resolution be? I currently have it at 1280x960 but that looks too wide as weel. I did have it so that the menus had a black bar eithee side but the game was fine. Now I cant seem to get back to those settings Any offers?

Hello, I have just installed gtx460 into my machine, gone through some tweaks as discussed in previous threads but am getting the image below Any thoughts or any one around to guide me through settings?

Please add your name if you want to fly in the match ALL skill levels welcome....... I am expecting it to be a sunday, Hopefully quite soon. ** date has been suggested for Sunday 9th December On the map front I have said that we would prefer Battle of Britain as first choice, then Midway but as we will fly both sides it does not matter tooooo much 1. Friar 2. Painless 3. Fenrir 4. Parts 5. Pooka 6. FT 7. Tonar 8. Jabo (provided it's a sunday) 9. Fruitbat 10 Sweper 11. Crash 12. Stryker 13. Delta7 14. Artie 15. Sid 16. Capt Jack 17. Mosh 18. Perfesser 19. Ovy 20. Tribunus 21. Arthur 22. BlueBear 23. Funflak 24. BadAim 25. Eshark 26. Gec 27. 28. 29. 30. more slots can be added when we get to 30 so dont think of this as a limit. ~S~P.

Ok Chaps, I need numbers. Thor has asked how many pilots we will be putting up. I will start a new 1 post thread that we can add to. I think I will also send out a flyer to all members, might get a few back in the fold.

Too right on what the guys say parts You get your self in line to fight with the rest of us You may well find your self in the right place at the right time to clear a mates six The more we have in the air the better. End of.

copy of post...... Sounds good to me. Midway map just needs bombers on the Japanese side and it is good to go. I will have to double check with the latest version of the BoB to see if we need to add targets to RED team, but that is no problem. Planeset: - Battle of Midway - RED (Carriers): SBD-3 SBD-3 Scout TBD-1 F4F4 RED (Midway island): TBF-1 F2A2 PBY-5 (limited to 4) BLUE: A6M2-21 D3A1 * B5N2 * * Currently only AI, but can be easily added to the carrier home bases. BLUE team has three AI attacks, one at the start of the DF map on Midway, then 45min/75min later two strikes on Yorktown that will get sunk 90% of time. These AI flights will be removed for the Match. I only need to do the briefing for the map. - Battle of Britain - RED: Blenheim Mk.IF Hurricane Mk.I 12Lbs Hurricane Mk. IIa Spitfire F I Spitfire F IIa BLUE: Bf-109E-1 Bf-109E-3 Bf-109E-4 Bf-110C-4 Ju-87B-2 He-111H-2 Do-17Z-2 looks like we need to start a headcount......

Update from the "other side" I asked about scenarios and thor has come back with Some minor issues with BoB map, but that will get sorted out well before we set the date. Two scenarios I personally would like to fly: Battle of Midway Battle of Britain Genova, Italy 1944 Since we are hosting, you guys pick one. Or two, we may even do 4 sorties (each team will fly both sides on one map). On thing is that we would like to focus on fighters as we're flying bombers all the time. You can shoot at us in the upcoming DBS Dedicated Missions. Last edited by T}{OR; Yesterday at 22:19.

Salutations my friends. Myself and the Sisters would like to wish you all a happy birthday.

salute

Ok, I have now registered and am on their forums. So I will try and get an update as soon as possible. Does anyone have any preferences for a map or scenario?

No, I am up here on a research trip for the Priory as our mission goal is to save fallen women and I have heard that northern women fall over easier than southern ones..... On the doors front FT, if it is the doors that cause an issue I will of course remove it with no problem, sadness yes, problem no. Many thanks for all your testing and time, by the way. Regards Friar, sent from Crashes, "ooup north"

Hello, I have this reply back from Thor Hi! Like yourself, RL got in the way here - hence my late reply. PM BoneHead over at BFs forums or send me a PM over there with your account so that we can sort out any problems. We're happy to fly fighters only, whilst we do enjoy flying bombers a lot - I wouldn't mind a change once a while. Besides, there are many other BFs pilots that will definitely join us if we decided on doing this. I'll start a thread about this on our forums. This is what has been posted on their forum

Hello, I have had a reply from T}{or over at 242 to my post about anyone wanting a match. He has replied to say they might be interested. As they are a dedicated bomber units I have suggested the following; Anyway my idea for the match would be, as you are a dedicated bomber unit, how about we set a map up so one side picks a bomber attack, the other fighters to intercept. The side using the bombers can choose how many of its pilots it uses in bombers, the other being escorts. Points will be placed in ground targets. The more bombers you fly the more chance of getting points, the more chance of getting hit with a lesser fighter cover. The other side has to intercept and stop the bombers getting through. As mentioned before, we swap sides and roles and have another go. At the end we add all the points together for bragging rights or just say cheers for a great night of fun! I know we have people who can lead bombers / enjoy the discipline so thought that might work. When I get more news I will update. DD_Friar

Ha Har land lubbers....who ear wants to join me on a pirate ship arrrgh, we sails the seven seas and sees what we can find, if yous get my drift....arrrrgh....

This addition is to the East of the map so existing missions should still work Ok on the map (but its worth running a few quick checks). Players and server do need to be on the same version. Palau Online moved back into the standard map availability.

A very creative idea FT, you are to be congratulated, I suspect you like me are always thinking of more and different ways to enjoy this beloved game of ours. Me, my ideas often come whilst sitting in the smallest room.....

I have downloaded it and will try and include it in this afternoons event

Hi Chaps, Just back from a short trip to Bavaria. Any thing been happening whilst I've been away, I had a nice quiet break.
