Can't be Mick, no fruit or sparkler

That was similar to one of the words I used Dave!

That's a bit odd. It should run clean with all errors fixed. Run it again, do the check and grab a screenshot then fix and grab another screenie. Post tgem both here and we'll take a look. If you want to test your game, try the dogfight server (df.dangerdogz.com + the same password as we use for TS). That server uses our usual coop settings so if you can get in there you should be good togo.

Sadly I have to report an accident with the Seafire. During a move round here a box weighing somewhat in excess of 20 kilos was put on top of the kit box. Which contalned the mostly complete model (major decals on etc). Result, one rather squashed Seafire. I've had a look at it this evening and have decided to write this one off. I'll get another one at some point and have another go. Suffice it to say that the Beau and the Lanc are now safely stored elsewhere.

Update #5 No photos this time but the paintwork is coming along now. Underside is pretty much complete and the desert camo is going on topside too. Will I have it complete before Duxford? Frankly, probably not given that I've not picked up a brush for several months. However, progress is progress.

Good luck mate.

Except wherever that post states 7.0.1 substitute with 7.0.2. The underlying process is sound though. tw, if you've been downloading for 12 hours I'd say something's wrong. 7.0.2 is probably still 5-6GB so it will take quite some time to download. Checkmods is your friend!

Not sure Mick, the BBMF Lanc is supposed to be at Eastbourne on the Saturday and Sywell on the Sunday, so it's not clear at this point whether it'll be both or 'just' the CWH one.

Bump. See first post

And I got to fly the JU88 (well, temporarily anyway - that thing's a pig close to the max t/o weight)

Huzzah! More clodding tonight. Flushed with successfully starting the blenheim and 110, I will throwing caution to the wind and starting the ju88 this evening!

I don't think there's many of the regular hosts here still using dyndns (most people use dangerdogz.com) but I still had an account (jabo.servegame.com) so I guess that's going. Thanks for the heads-up mate.

Thanks Dave. I understand from TS last night that he's waiting to get an idea of interest levels before starting to make a new batch. I'll send him an email. Jabo

Today is an important day for my family. 74 years ago today my great-uncle William Nicol was lost during a Reconnaissance misson over the North Sea. The bodies of the crew were never found. Below is the RAF report. 07/04/1940: Reconnaissance, North Sea type: Wellington Mk IA serial number: N2949, KO-H operation: Reconnaissance lost: 07/04/1940 Pilot Officer Roy A. Gayford, RAF 40295, 115 Sqdn., age unknown, 07/04/1940, missing Sergeant William F. Nicol, RAFVR 740335, 115 Sqdn., age 21, 07/04/1940, missing Sergeant Michael F. Murphy, RAF 580735, 115 Sqdn., age 20, 07/04/1940, missing Sergeant Robert J. Moore, RAF 522730, 115 Sqdn., age 23, 07/04/1940, missing Leading Aircraftman Daniel Armstrong, RAF 543847, 115 Sqdn., age 20, 07/04/1940, missing Aircraftman 1st Class John Moss, RAF 629737, 115 Sqdn., age unknown, 07/04/1940, missing Took off from Lossiemouth at 11.15 hrs, in company with aircraft from No. 9 Squadron to search for enemy shipping off Denmark. Both Squadrons were operating under the authority of HQ 18 Group, Coastal Command. Became separated from the main formation and was shot down by Me 110's. The crew are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. Lest we forget... Nick With my own personal thanks to the Commonwealth War Graves Commision and the RAF Museum Hendon for helping me track this down.

If it's possible to get an idea of price, I might be persuaded to spring for these.

For those interested in attending, the participation list is here. Nice to see the Kennet Aviation Seafire XVII (SX336) making a very welcome return to the display circuit after it's...erm..'mishap' in France a couple of years ago. Jabo

I have a spare if required, it's a 4-port pci job. Free for the asking (except postage)

Ooo, ta! I shall peruse.

I agree, my g15 keyboard operates as a hub so I plug my throttle quadrant and bodnar box into that but the sidewinder is plugged directly into the pc.

Lol, I have this on my wishlist but I am a little suspicious of the release date.

Oh yes, we certainly obliterated the 88 formation and then found a load of Stukas too but most of us only managed a pass or two before the guns went dry. Especially pleased with the Blenheim too- first time I'd ever tried to start it and after one false attempt managed to get it into the air and keep it there before a safe landing at Manston. Loads of fun. Aiming for this Wednesday for certs Jabo

Nurse! Pass the Spot-On! Oh yeah, nice photos Arthur. Looks like you had a good day for it!

Who's out of touch?

It may be a pain but you're the one that let things get out of step. No-one to blame but...etc etc etc. However, a bit like L'Oréal, we ARE worth it. Anyway, although I don't use the x52 anymore, I'll send you my tir profile later. Jabo

We're on 7.0.2 Kelly, To update from 7.0 to 7.0.2, look for the HSFX_Client_Updater.exe file in your game folder. Run that and it will update your version to 7.0.2. Alternatively hop onto TS and we'll talk you through it. Jabo
