    Oh Man...is His True, You Uk'ers?

    This was a totally heinous crime and it is, perhaps, a pity that the bloke couldn't be tried according to Sharia law. Almost as dangerous however, is the style and content of the original blog, which appears to be only a vehicle for one individual's racist hatred.

    Here's an interesting fact. The eminent young neurosurgeon who operated on me a couple of years ago is a practising Muslim. I can confidently say that he has all the qualities that place a person head and shoulders above the baying mob as typified by the blogger that JP unfortunately stumbled upon.

    He was trying to put the plane into a spin - but not the flat variety. The stall was intentional but - as he says in his assessment - he used his ailerons when he induced the spin. That was what unbalanced the aircraft. The engine was switched off as part of the "Flat spin recovery technique" which eventually worked.

    Well it was very nice to speak to you Jedi, after my long absence from flying. Thanks for putting the idea of a Euro-dogz meet out there :goodjob:

    I need to thank young Kevin for patiently sorting me out with the correct TS details (I've bookmarked them now!) so that I could chat. I find it hard to hear over the roar of those old engines - almost as hard as getting a fully loaded Harry Tate into the air! Still, I enjoyed my circular tour of the aerodrome and the surrounding fields as I waited for some lift from the wings :shaunhb:

    Nice to hear Mayhem lurking about too, and Arthur too.

    All in all I enjoyed my new baptism of fire - even though I got a face-full of castor oil most of the time. If we can get a good Coop server running I think this could become regular bash.

    Hooray! :sword:

    New Patch And Controls

    Well...I learned something else after a short coniption fit; the patch resets all your game settings. So, if you go in and attempt to use your controller and it isnt responding, its because the profile reset everything to novice (i.e. auto every damn thing [mix, radiator, etc].) I spent an hour trouble shooting my joystick for no reason.

    If you saved any profiles for individual planes before the update, you will find they are still available.

    After watching the short film that Jedi linked to -

    - I'm filled with hope that I may finally be able to get into the air and be competitive. The response curve section has been puzzling this poor mutt for quite a while now, but Jason's short lecture has removed the scales from my eyes. :thumbsu:

    I can't help thinking that this approach is exactly what Cliffs of Dover really needs to get people involved - till they work that one out I shall persist with RoF.

    It is for those cheapskates who just couldn't be bothered to pay a little more money for an English version of the game and purchased the Russian Version. But, if they can find a kind hearted soul who is willing to post the Maddox.dll out of their English version they too can have the menus in English rather than Cyrillic. :roflmao:

    Negative! Its for those folks who thought paying $14 USD so they could test out CLOD months before it was available in the States was too good to pass up. After said testing, many of us had deemed the program sub par and not really worth spending the original 40 or 50 dollar asking price. CLOD can be had now for as low a 25 bucks me thinks, and if it gets its stuff together to a level deemed sufficient, which for some at least it is not currently (insert flame war here), may or may not be purchased by several of us in its full English version. :thefinger:

    Well, you crapped out on a box, a DVD, a Spitfire manual & a cheap tea-towel, so there! :rolleyes:

    There may be a way to script that response in the CH Control Manager. I will have to ask Bob Church (CH software creator) if and how it can be done. One button push - runs script that holds X and Y axis steady at current setting - second push - ends script and hands back control. I don't see why that wouldn't work. I certainly have enough buttons! :laughing7:

    I hope to get on with the control panel tomozz. One of the nifty bits will be a pitch trim-wheel that I can operate with my forearm. It's based on a 3-turns potentiometer and a big grey Marconi knob - and should be very sensitive. I have a cockpit panel light too and a glorious old bakelite starter button. I'm starting to drool with anticipation ;) All my buttons, switches and rotaries are wired up, I just need to drill holes and plug everything into the Bodnar board. And then the fun will start.
