Crash

I said it would be easy

Should be easy

Do we need key assignments for the taxi bit?

Props just clear of the ground then

Any chance of the mission file? Obviously showing only the red side

Go on, you know you want to

Thanks for your advise

After the issues I had with malware, I now have a 8 gig usb stick which show no files, however shows 4 gig in use This is the stick that I think transferred the issue to the gaming rig. Is there anything I can do to clean it? I am a bit wary of just plugging it into a computer.

Nice to hear from you

This could end up on the Christmas list http://www.amazon.co.uk/Havilland-Mosquito-Manual-developing-fighter-bomber/dp/0857333607/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_266239_b4_1_p?ie=UTF8&refRID=0QBMJHNPP38739CT630Y

Sorry, still flaccid over here but I think I detect a trend. How are you feeling, Crash? Quite mellow and relaxed. I have a feeling that I wont be doing too much testing, what with DD Co-ops Tuesday, TV evening Wednesday and the Thursday night binge drinking However as I no long have to go to work I might be able to fly a bit in the afternoons after I have done a few jobs about the house.

Todays update http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/1763-developer-diary-part-38/

Anything with an engine or two please

Glad you are flying again Todd. I will set my controls up and give it a go.

News from Zac Before 19 November we'll announce the start of early access + some other news later this week in the dev blog update.

Audacity is free and good.

Much button assignments have taken place. I am using xpadder which is a nice program and you can have a picture of your controller and show the button assignments BUT its not too obvious how to set up 2 controllers with different profiles. I think I have now sorted it and successfully wobbled my way into the sky using the profile and then back to Il-2 set the profiles and then flew that On the to do list are A-10C, FC3 Clifford and Rof. This might take some time.

You guys going for the DCS as well? Looks like they have enough donations for the Me-262 so its going to get complicated

Check your control assignments mate - unfortunately in DCS unlike Il-2 you can assign two axes to the same function so it maybe that you have another axis giving throttle input - as default the game assigns all axes equally so throttle quadrant axis y is mapped to exactly the same as joystick axis y and rudder axis y. Straight out of the box you'll have an impossible task trying to fly it so getting the controls all ironed out is a must! The crucial point here is to clear any input devices other than that you want it to be from the various input fields. Hope I am making sense. Otherwise post a screenie of your controls page for me. Thanks for your help Tom. An other problem I had was the brakes axis was reversed! Anyway the 1st 2 attempts at taking off resulted in flying :) On the second flight I tried stalls loops low level flybys and I landed OK only to run off the runway onto the grass and lose a piece of wing. Much button assignments to come.

Thanks for that, I did a bit of flying about earlier on (Not tried take of or landing yet) and the manifold pressure gauge was bouncing about like mad. Also the throttle handle was displayed as jumping about. I might have to put some damping on my throttle or something but it didnt show when I checked in the windows controllers.

Hi Fen, I feel like giving the P51 a go, so what are the basic essential buttons to allocate to practice take-offs and landings?

Glad you are having a good day mate. Best wishes from the Land of Song. Isnt it.

Hi OD, the Bodnar board uses a small USB port and you need to get a USB cable to plug into your computer.

I understand Brando, I bought the box as well. However the 2 new games ARE different as 777 and DCS are both involved. Jason and Loft are doing a great job communicating what it happening, and although Luthier has previous, with The Fighter Collection/Eagle Dynamics doing quality control I feel that we should get 2 excellent sims by this time next year.
