A Viggen flight.....fantastic!

+ 1 on these guides, they make life much easier. Essential reading.

Useful link here chaps https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/41082-tips-flying-p-47/?tab=comments#comment-694959 The supercharger and turbosupercharger in the key mappings are completely separate mechanisms and are not linked on the P47....on this aircraft only the turbosupercharger mapping is relevant, the supercharger mapping is relevant to the I.16, Lagg3, Yaks, La5, Pe2 and A20. Did some checks just to make sure they aren't affected by each other before I changed my settings. I've done the linking of the throttle, RPM and turbosupercharger (shows as 'supercharger' lever in cockpit). It works but I haven't tested it much in flight. Cheerzen

I heard that some of you peeps had obtained an A4 from somewhere? Could I have a link please? Edit...found it! https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=224989

I have the Persian Gulf map and it is gorgeous. What it does however is up the game folder size, I have Caucasus, Nevada, Normandy and Persian Gulf and they all total up to more than 90gb...Nevada and Persian Gulf are both about 32gb in size. This puts my install folder at a whopping 146gb. Something to think about too.

I have this set up for offers (although mine is about 2 years old it is prettier, it's blue) if it's suitable https://www.scan.co.uk/products/16gb-(4x4gb)-corsair-ddr4-vengeance-lpx-black-pc3-24000-(3000)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-15-17-17-35-xm

Works great! Thank you

BoK is a great package

Ah, I see what you mean now. They don't show.....you have to remember what it looks like. Sorry, I over complicated what was a simple question.

First thing to check, from the hangar screen go into the 'Settings' screen. Select 'Game'. ensure 'Enable mods' and 'Show custom paint schemes' are checked. The mods needs to be on so that you can fly with the Dogz because we fly with mods on and the custom paint schemes need to be turned on here to be able to see them. Secondly, if you already have the above checked have you installed the custom skins into the right folder? The path is '1C Game Studios/IL-2 Battle of Moscow/data/graphics/skins/..... This is where the aircraft skin folders are. Cheerzen

I think the waypoints are displayed well and give you the right info easily seen. This is the briefing from a Ju52 mission showing the waypoints from take off to landing, pretty self explanatory I think. I also think that the written stuff that is part of the briefing is getting better (to the right of the map, not included here). This mission is by JadeMonkey, a third party, not done by the developers, and is good fun. Yep, the host sets the difficulty levels but afaik a pilot can choose whether to have speedbar/aiming assists on or off - I think. We are still learning here

Hi Beebop, the yellow diamond is a game 'Aiming assist' for rockets. Getting this diamond in your sight and following it means you will go into a dive and become a lawn dart unless you pull up.... There is also a bombing assist, a yellow circle, so in an IL2 for example loaded with bombs and rockets you will have both visible. They are good for learning with. The teardrop is a waypoint indicator showing you heading to the next one. If you are attacking something it is red over the target. The aiming assists and the waypoint indicators can be switched off in the 'Realism' page available when you are in the first mission screen. It is down bottom right of the screen, click on it and it takes you to a settings screen. Cheerzen

Better that than being a crickin' fritic...that hurts...apparently

BoX can produce some great screenies with the skins and scenery...

I love diving into this every so often, works great and has a massive planeset and extra maps.

Thanks for dropping in mate, nice to see stray mutts popping in to say hello.

Umm....2....me and Crash were there for the duration.

I've been playing GBS/BoX single player and multiplayer and thinking that I would like to play it more often with you guys. I believe the consensus of those that have it is that it is fun and that it is possible to go online with eachother relatively easily. This has been the case for a few weeks now as I have hosted some missions and Arthur has kindly provided a server for us to use on a map rotation basis...as far as I am aware no-one had any major issues with connecting to either of us or suffered from issues online whilst flying on our servers. We both run a mods server but you don't need mods to fly with us, just have mods enabled in your game, once that has been enabled most join us easily. The biggest issue I have found with a bunch of us flying together is that the mission selection can be affected due to people having a limited selection of aircraft but I am sure that will resolve itself in time as people adopt the game and aquire modules in the future as it becomes clearer that this is a fun, interesting and great looking way to take off, fly, shoot down, bomb the crap out of things and land again......something we are very used to. I'm not suggesting we replace '46 with GBS/BoX as the Dogz preferred fun platform because we all have our preferences to what we fly and there are dedicated nights for other games available to cater for this. What I am asking is what people feel about Tuesday nights being dedicated to GBS/BoX. What we could have is: Sunday 46 Monday DCS Tuesday GBS/BoX Thursday CloD Watcha think? Cheerzen

GUI mute for sure, will try the other one too

Going to have to build a model Viggen again.....gorgeous

I would like to look at hosting and have got into my router and created a rule like this. Have I put the ports in correctly?

Can't wait to give this a go....
