Cheers Painless 2Spits! From the right angle it is one of THE most awesome looking planes about - it's in me blood so's to speak. I will put some piccies of the builds up - not taken any yet but I've cut the wings and started the build of the fold area.....oooeeer missus, like the sound of that!

Great - that's what I'm going to try. I'll download world and see what happens

Right...so Steam versions aren't any good as they can't be directed to work with 'World'?

I have already got DCS Black Shark and A10 Warthog via Steam. Do I need the DCS world aswell as Mustang?

I've been on ebay recently and found some old Tigercat models - this is a Monogram 1/72 pure fighter Got 2 1/48 AMT/Ertl models - one I'm building with wings folded, the other is going to be a civilian water bomber or maybe even 'La Patrona'....if I can find some decals. Do those on another thread

Have a good one friends

Bit too low and a bit too fast methinks... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2167773/Theyre-SO-trouble-Low-flying-Brazilian-air-force-pilots-shatter-window-countrys-Supreme-Court.html

OT, I completely agree with my esteemed water-borne warrior in that a 460 class graphics card will allow you to enjoy IL2 with no issues. I run the game with a 1GB 460 no problem, the only issue is that they aren't as available now as when I got mine a couple of years ago. One place to go is here http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-hardware/all/gpu-nvidia/geforce-gtx-460-pci-e-(288-336-cores) Good price and will see you right with IL2.

Nice choice! See you both later

How about 'La Patrona'? Currently on a gorgeous F7F Tigercat.... Here's the noseart......

Is this why the Pegasus mission won't run - the object numbers are different?

With Win7?

Which card have you got Fruity?

Cheers Crash. Jabo, there is no reason other than I have the cards here and am wondering if Creative have moved on with their Win7 support. After an hour looking on the net I'm not going to mess with the Audigy as it is clear that Creative haven't moved on. As to a new card that is Win7 compatible from the outset I would consider it if I knew the output would be significantly better than the Asus onboard I'm using now as I play movies and music on the pooter aswell as flying etc.

Cheers Crash. Which card are you using? I have an Audigy 4 model SB0610 for a PCIe slot available in my spares box.

Gents, has anyone got a Creative soundcard installed and running successfully on a Win7 system? I seem to remember FT saying he had done so. I have some Soundblaster and Audigy 4 soundcards that I know didn't work a couple of years ago and, looking at the Creative driver's site, don't see anything new that convinces me to put one back in. I'm aware of some modded drivers that claim to work but I'm not interested. There are a couple of new Soundblaster Recon3D cards http://www.scan.co.uk/products/creative-sound-blaster-recon3d-fatal1ty-professional-soundcard that are tempting me that are made as Win7 compatible, hence the question.

WOW!

Something you WERE surprisingly good at.....try them with the Dogz...more friendly columns destroyed than enemy!! Welcome Miguel, have fun!

Now got a coat of flat clear to make the decals look painted on. Looking good. Canopy is lovely and clear, photos don't do it justice because of the reflected light but the cockpit shows nicely Weathering and staining next.....

Progressing nicely.... Masked and base coat painted, I put the 'Blu Tack' on to create the camo swirls. Took the blutack off and Pleased with the effect so I've 'glossed' it and put the decals on Used Tamiya acrylic spray cans. Easy to use and very smooth finish. Touching up to do and then a coat of flat clear before weathering. Cheerzen

Hmmm, thanks Friar. Their findings are 15 - 20 years behind everyone else regarding aeroplanes and spectators - the evidence has been out there and available. Earlier on the day of the crash I was very surprised when an F18 came from the right and flew along the crowd line right over the spectators grandstand - fantastic spectacle but, as we know, highly inappropriate in the UK and Europe. Having said that, the experience of the event is like nothing else because of the way it is set up. I will be going again in a few years - hope it hasn't changed too much by then.

Really going to miss that North/South face to face banter..... Look after yourselves, very best wishes to you, Debs and the family mate.
