    Happy New Year

    My thoughts reflect all most of the sentiments above . Happy New Year!
  2. 'Nuff said. I love the normal nights and don't want full switch but love the opportunity to have it on events such as North Africa to prevent inadvertant spotting of enemy aircraft and vehicles. Cheerzen
  3. What are it's aims? Will I get more satisfaction from it as opposed to getting involved in short tank battles because I really find World of Tanks easy to get into and use as an occasional? change and stress releaser.....
  4. Happy Birthday OT Hope it's a good 'un!!
  5. You can also do it for the arrestor hook....in the [Mods] section of your conf.ini add the line: SeparateHookUpDown=1 With this option, your Toggle Tailhook control only acts as Tailhook Down, and whatever key you assign to 'Magneto Next' is Tailhook Up. Cheerzen
  6. Might buy one for myself as a retirement present..........oh...bugger, too late
  7. These prices are a rip off and an embarrassment - ashamed to be English when git's like this capitalise on an event .

    Hello All

    Hi DT, glad to see you back and browsin' m8
  9. Prolly a licence-built Allison Kidding aside, I agree that one of a kind is very special - to the point of being unique... I'll get my coat. Jabo Actually I'm led to believe it is in fact an original (reconditioned of course) AM-38. Check the video again and you'll notice the cowlings all seem accurate to the type, plus the tell tale sign is the rotation of the propeller which is the opposite to an Allison. I stand corrected, it is indeed Allison powered, and must have an opposite handed gearbox from a P-38 or summat. Whatever, it's a beauty! It was restored in the same facility that recently brought the Mig-3 back to life and rumour has it that the IL-2 is set to join the Fw-190 at the Flying Heritage Collection stateside. WHAT MIG 3? Where? Show me...NOW!!! Ahhh....this MiG 3. Sounds Allison powered too
  10. Laughed out loud.....caught me right. Nice one Papa
  11. Ditto Zooly. However, I haven't touched it for months.
  12. Not seen either of those. The impact on the first one still makes me jump...the second one shows just how close it was to us. There are many vids to see about it, but those are 2 of the clearest I've seen. It is still very vivid in my mind, the sound of the impact as much as anything.

    Ooooh....luverley
  14. Sounds, and looks, like a great day was had Thanks for sharing.
  15. Quite right. There is a way to ensure a completely fresh install, 'gis a call if you want to go through it.
  16. You there?
  17. Great start to the morning...lol.
  18. Whip aerial...or any aerial. Have you ever 'stretched sprue'? Not sure what it's called now, I always knew it as the sprue - it's the carrier that the parts you are using are cut from. Take a length about 6" long. Hold both ends in your hands (one in each!!) and gently heat it over a flame/heat source eg. gas or electric hob, for a couple of seconds and, when you can see it start to droop, take it away from the heat source and slowly stretch it by moving your hands apart. Get it to the thickness you want and stop - it cools very quickly so practice a few times. Usually the 6" length of sprue has doubled in length and gives you a thin line of plastic that can be used as aerial wire, handles, cables etc. Secure in place at the end of building with a dab of super glue or resin. Grey plastic is good as it looks the right colour. Don't try this at home, children, WITHOUT adult supervision........'Matches, matches never touch....they can hurt you very much!'
  19. That's a nice kit Pete. I've never seen 1/32 wings cast as one before - the Typhoon is chunky so those are impressive castings.
  20. Duxford one day? Can but dream.......
  21. Only 4 mods is correct OT. When flying with us, enable 'UP RC4' ONLY, otherwise there could be issues. Copying over Mods may be a bit fraught with complications due to compatibilities - no definitive answer I'm afraid. I have some additional mods in a '#UP#' folder that I created in the main folder - that's the way it's done in this UP. No, you don't need to install the dogfight server. You, like most of us, are a 'client'. Cheerzen
  22. Oooerrrr. Piccies....Piccies
  23. I managed 3 seconds.......
  24. Hey JP, so... looks like we'll have to share the sheeps There are competitions for that...oh no. sorry........that's sheep shearing Welcome Navy, even if it is to the 'Splitters'
