  1. Thanks Petrol...great source!!
  2. Looking to spend some time, probably hours, mastering this....(ps it's a vid, not a piccie) VID_20221106_234109.mp4
  3. That's brilliant. As an Air Cadet I went on camp to RAF Waddington in 1978....Vulcans!. We visited the Training hangar and saw the massive flight trainer there...it was a scale model of Lincolnshire like the one in the vid and was used for local training. Had a camera fitted on the end of an arm and was linked to a Vulcan cockpit, the images were seen through the windshield. Amazing....
  4. The last mission tonight, anti shipping, went Pete Tong when I got smacked by a fighter.... I flew the Mossie back to home airfield, thanks for cover by at at least Crash and Delta, and tried an approach. No way would it take it....control was limited so I climbed and bailed. Survived. Solid aircraft, got me back, but no low speed control with the amount of wing missing....

    Reinstalled...

    I have taken the plunge and have reinstalled the Open World beta.... I am looking to fly a limited planeset though....Vietnam era. I have the Huey, Skyhawk mod, Bronco mod and am waiting for the Skyraider to appear. C130 will be an exception, and of course the Osprey when that appears First landing...second approach...Wire #1
  6. Which install....one....both....how big are they?
  7. https://stormbirds.blog/2022/09/02/dcs-c-130j-headlines-new-dcs-world-dev-update/ Especially for tanker....SAR....and gunship. If they did an Osprey then that would be a no brainer. Now, let's just check to see if they do a Skyraider....well.....whadya know....
  8. It gets released officially a few weeks after the vehicle. It gets done by 'IDCP' as an official template. People have requested templates of new releases but they are asked to be patient and wait for the official release.
  9. Awaiting it's release.....
  10. Dimensions and weights etc. are similar but physically they are quite different. Not just a case of a different bodywork mod in the drop down list really. MkIV MkVII
  11. North england....Derby/Manchester/Yorkshire maybe...not clear
  12. There is a good question, and answer, on the forums that needs passing on. Bear in mind that this applies to QMB missions, not online 'Multiplayer', aircraft tactical codes in that scenario will be down to the mission builder to select. Basically, in QMB if you want an RAF skinned Spitfire to display RAF codes you need to select the RAF skin BEFORE you get to the hangar. Use the 'Settings' spanner to choose it. Don't know how this affects Syn_Vander mission builder, haven't looked at it yet. Regingrave's answer works, I've checked it. It works for other aircraft like the A20 and P40.

  13. Some interesting conversations going on over on the GBS forums....based on the last Developer Diary and an interview here . Of course, any views and comments are personal and probably conjecture but it does make for interesting reading. Apparently the next module is going to be 'prop-based', won't require large urban areas and will bring something new to the game. It won't be Pacific (even though they would like to), won't have carriers and won't be 4 engined bombers (the game engine CAN do them but the time to build one good bomber is equivalent to the time taken to build ONE BoX module). 'Battle of Sicily' is coming up a lot because it fits the criteria above. Torpedos, recce, Italian Air Force are all new to the game. I think that scenario would be great. However, another 'Battle' possibility that is making people go 'Hmmm' and 'Maybe....' and I think has great potential is.....Korea. Fits the criteria too. 'Battle of Bodenplat' is prop based but still introduced jets...Korea could too. Korea without carriers (initially....?) could work. What a wonderful planeset it would bring.... Late Yaks and LAs IL 10 MiG 15? Bearcat Tigercat F51 Corsair Sea Fury? Sabre? Meteor? A26 Invader Hornet? Helicopters And so on.... Watcha think?
  14. Now if they did a proper Herc, like a gunship, or an Osprey then I would be back
  15. I have it too, but it hasn't been resaved dms021 - phase1.zip

    Blairgowrie Day!

    Cheers and Salute Jim!!
  17. Yes, some, just RPM, boost, mixture and supercharger. I don't use the photo replacement now as some are in awkward places. I know others that don't use them too but hey, it's a resource.
  18. Commit to memory Crasheroni....
  19. A one sheet printable reference for all aircraft except jets. No excuses now.....
  20. Version 1.0.0

    7 downloads

    A printable summary on one sheet of the engine settings for all the BoX aircraft, not jets. A great app found here No more questions now chaps.....
  21. A great night...thanks Friar for the missions. Issues smissues....good missions. Last one, A20 factory bombing with escort, proved to be one of the best. Great drops All landed too Thanks for your company boys 👍 Not wanting to exclude Beagle, Artie, Delta and Friar...I got a good close up of Ben, Crash and me on our way home..
  22. I noticed the Russian lady. The Mark IV we are getting is the most numerous built and quite a few were lend lease to Russia, fighting at Kursk and Prokorhovka. The Normandy version is the better one, the Mark VII, a much better armoured and different beast that didn't appear until 1944. The Dieppe raid used Mark IIIs and North Africa and Italy were also Mark IIIs. Not to say there weren't any modified and used latterly but I don't think the Churchill we are getting is for westernising the Bodenplat or Normandy maps I'm afraid. Makes me think that TC 2 could be Battle of Kursk.
