Sorry FT, should have replied to this earlier. Having to re-assign keys/axis again? I suspect this has something to do with updating but not actually using the game for a while. There used to be an issue with Win10 and the recognition of devices in the game but that got fixed...last year I think. I've got a folder on my desktop called 'All things BoS' and within it I place copies of the stuff which might be effected by game updates. My game is installed thus; C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad Once you've sorted out all your control assignments open the game folder and you'll find the 'data' folder. Go into it and look for the 'input' folder. Found it? All your control assignments are kept in there. Just make a copy of the whole folder and put it somewhere safe. Oh yeah, you can do the same with skins and once you start flying in SP you'll find a couple of guys shouting in either Jeeeeerman or Russ. Since i find this incredibly annoying I've gone into the 'audio' folder and removed the two files marked Ger and Rus. No more shouting...... FFB not working? Er....dunno. Mine does. Do you have a floppy stick or merely the default spring effect? Might just be a case of closing the game and unplugging the stick's usb. Vsync? I'll try and write something up about the graphic options but there are two ways to go; Run the game in full-screen mode with vsync on and frames locked at target 60 OR run game in windowed mode, vsync off and frame rate unlocked. It seems to be a matter of personnal choice/power of your gaming system. I've gone with full screen. Coloured stuff and indicators all over the screen? Yeah, I know - uurghhh.....getting rid of 'em is about options. Check this post out; http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/11319-new-game-launcher-new-set-up/?do=findComment&comment=131519 I get rid of it all by pressing 'H' Doing away with all the on screen stuff also saves about 40% of your graphics processing power too! It's something on the "to do" list for the devs. 10 minutes after exiting and stuff is still happening? Hmmm...think that might be something to do with not actually running the game in a while too but not sure. i don't launch my game from the launcher Go into C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game and find the IL2 application folder - mines 11,558kb worth - and create a shortcut to it. Put shortcut on your desktop and launch game from there. Should help.....er....possibly Hope this all helps FT

Good point FT - have edited my post

If the map for Boddenplatte works out they way they seem to be indicating then this time next year we should be able to bomb and strafe FT's house.

When I saw the server up I tried 'arse' but it wouldn't take it! elbow - lol

Big m8

Late at night - when Europe is sleeping - I have seen a DangerDogz server on the BoS multiplayer list @ Jack and the gang

'Ere; have you activated your bleedin' christmas present yet?

Without a doubt Swep.

Cor! Well done Colin!! You were lucky not to get caught in that little dust up ahead at 17.10. The dash cam view seems pretty damn authentic to me; the sense of speed, the movement of the cars under suspension load, etc. That was great

3D printer? At work or home Gec? Remember remember.......

Air raid in progress. @Jabo; I suspect next sale will be Thanksgiving weekend at the end of this month. @Crash; I'm sure you can not put flaps on a rotary as there is no "toggle flaps" command. It's got to be a button press of some sort I think. I've not really played about with the hud as I like to get rid of all the stuff on the screen as much as possible. I know there is some sort of mini map available but I've never used it. I use the main map a great deal as it's vital for navigation over western Russia. The online technique is to have a good look at your six, note your heading and engage level auto-pilot. Then you bring up the map and see if can match up the landscape features you see out of the cockpit. And do a lot of guessing too............................. Oh yeah, the hud. According to the devs having the hud on accounts for 42% of your gpu's effort in running the sim. They only found this out recently. To get rid of it press H.

Hi Crash. Go to my post at the top of page seven in this thread. Make sure the box labelled "allow spectators" is checked.........i think.

Wow. I wanted to join the navy when I was seventeen. I wanted the chance to wave a little blue flag with the letter B on it. I wanted to join the pilot line to the guide hawsers and chock the pulleys. I could have done it. I could have been a contender. I could have been the ticket man at Fulham Broadway station. They turned me down.......sigh Thank gawd! On a slightly more serious note; yeah, how the hell did they manage all that in any sort of a sea?

Train spotting

I've had another 'good' idea for your next project! Went on this today http://www.cliffrailwaylynton.co.uk/

Thats just wonderful FT. You didn't tell us about the lifting bridge! How are you going to model the cow shit?

Hauled my backside out of bed at six this morning on the promise of storm and tempest but 'twas a bit disappointing in the end....

Moscow the hard way

FT, I think the generally agreed technique would be to fly above the clouds in such circumstances? 'Ere, Crash. Did you know about this; https://il2sturmovik.com/

That looks really impressive FT The picture in your OP looks like it was taken in the early 1900's. Any idea what that scene looks like now?

Well after six months I must say BT and I are very happy together. I've had no problems and so far as I'm aware my connection has not dipped below the promised 50mb/s. In fact they seem to like me sooooo much that they're upgrading me to 76mb/s before the middle of November. Good show BT
