Just got some very good news from a reliable source at Duxford - the first visitor for Legends has arrived...and this one's staying. TFC are now the proud owners of another (airworthy) Sea Fury - bringing the total on site to...erm...two...But the news gets even better. This new one has an original Centaurus engine (most of the others around the place have been re-engined), so it'll even sound like a Sea Fury should - four bladed prop and all! Jabo

Awesome, brings a lump to the throat. Thanks for posting that TOAD Jabo

No argument there, but I'm not sure I agree with some (all) of the BNP's policies and I'm more than a little suspicious of their agenda.

Are we still talking about football?

It's possible, but looking at the results so far, the Conservatives have by far been the biggest winners. Prolly nothing to worry too much about. Jabo

I'll sort it m8, we can deal with the cash later. What size do you need - med is 38", large is 40", xl is 42" Can I second (or third) the suggestion that people DON'T post their phone numbers in this thread as it is open to the public. PM is prolly the best way Jabo

...And here's mine Forgot this is a public thread - number deleted - will send pm to those going. Please note this is not the same number as last year, so if you've kept it since then, you might want to change it. (I got an iPhone

On the subject of Gec and Vila's shirts...

Rgr m8, everything's cool. Do you need a DD shirt? I've ordered them for Gec and Vila, let me know if you want one too. Jabo

According to their blog, the first FL guest has arrived and is installed in Hangar 2. A 2-seat Sea Fury! Not had one there for the last couple of years, so to see that blasting round the circuit will be a treat. Jabo

Both GK and I tried Cachya, and found problems getting it to work in IL2 - The main issue is that it takes mouse pointer control from the mouse all the time it's loaded, so if you've loaded the tracking program first (it doesn't work at all the other way round in any case), then your mouse pointer goes whizzing about your desktop as you move your head. This raises bigger problems in game with regard to scrolling and resizing the map for instance. FreeTrack solves that problem, but I was never 100% happy with the setup despite assistance from the erstwhile Jedi and others, probably had more to do with the way I built the headset than the actual system. Despite the price, I haven't found anything that works as well as TIR, and with the minimum about of messing about too. Plug it in and hey presto! Jabo

Ah yes, the very brilliant David Armand, he's got a couple of other performances on youtube, definitely worth a look if you've not seen them before Jabo

Further to my earlier post, it is my sad duty to inform you that B-17 'Pink Lady' made her last flight on 28th September 2008. A victim of 9-11, she has been grounded for good by spiralling insurance costs. This means that Sally-B is now the only flying B-17 in Europe. Jabo

Count me in. Nice find Delta

Yeah, it's possible. You'll either need a graphics card with an HDMI socket, or use a DVI-HDMI adaptor. I've run the game on the 42" LG in the front room, and it's been OK. Not mindblowing, but definitely playable.

'Fraid not Zooly - The only intact example is the one that belongs to the RAF Museum, and that is emphatically not a example that will be restored to flight status. It'll be nice to see it back at Hendon when the work's been completed tho, it's been looking a little tired of late. I'm not sure if the Battle's back there yet either, something to do with the wings not fitting when it came back from the restoration people! Jabo

Like that's an issue m8

With you there m8, plus, if you use TIR with the pro clip, or freetrack, it's difficult to position the uinit

Ignore the PC World thing m8, just had another look at the photo, and realised you're looking at a wireless one. Eclipse have that though at around £65. Personally, I really rate the HS-1000 that I just got from them. It comes with 2-3m of cable, and the sound quality is fab (especially with the latest drivers and the virtualisation switched on!) Jabo
