Roflmao!!! Yes, happy Christmas to you all - even the ones still "behind the Iron Curtain" lol.

I think there is a strong possibility that Norway really might be the best country in the world.

This is the same sort of a problem you get with IL2 when you go from an ATI card to an Nvidia card but I've now had a bottle of Spitfire, two G&T's and a very large helping of my wife's chicken pie wiv' mash and gravy so I'm completely befuddled and can't remember which lines in the config you need to change. It was the same problem that Tonar had earlier in the year when he put a 460 in his machine. I bet FT knows - he's generally sober!

Yay me Good news Perf. You get access this weekend! Been having quite a blast - in a very limited time frame - with BoS. I really do like the LaGG3. Its one steaming turd of a fighter plane but very rewarding to fly, fight and try to land in one piece. Cockpit modelling seems rather more complete than the '109 at the moment. Am now reliably able to shoot down at least one of the a.i. before the pitiful ammo supply runs out. Effects coming along nicely too. Lets hope they're insured. Not sure whats coming up this week. Gunpods, bombs and rockets perhaps?

Watch the first vid! He's a retired RSM, so he's basically allowed to call anyone anything he wants!

I've seen this before Sid. He's called Bill Callaghan and he's excellent!! The LiveLeak clip is part of a whole tour someone filmed. You can find it in four parts here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeiW_bWZ2Is He certainly knows his stuff.

Hello Ade, That system looks fine. Graphics card? Get an Nvidia card in the 6600ti or above range. Expect to blow at least a couple of hundred quid!!

This will be an Atlantic convoy, yes? So plenty of sea room. If there really is 500 yards between following ships in each column, why not "bend" the course of the convoy so its following a very broad arc. Then if a ship is sinking, the following ship would just avoid it as it follows the convoy's broad arc. Hopefully. Edit; Doh, forgot they follow straight courses between waypoints! Oh well, it was almost a good idea.

I'm a Waitrose Socialist!! .

The best beer in the world is Youngers Tartan Special. By the grace of God it has been available again this year on the shelves of my local Waitrose. Blessed are the Scottish brewers.

Painless's feet;

Are we all ready for 8.01 gmt tonight? Should be a small update as the '109 is already in the game we downloaded last week. Tonight we get to fly it.

F35? Hit the headlines last year 'cause it might be a bit, er....................crap?

Thanks Jack. This is exactly what I've been looking for!

Swordfish?

Harrier or one of those ship-born Grumman intruder thingumies?

If you've already got RoF running on your system you'll have a reasonable idea of how BoS will perform.

This is easy. That's a wing......................................Am I missing something here?

Todays Livestream in English. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEMKztOE3Dk&feature=c4-overview&list=UUCsjBBYBk321cTtRF9yCOhQ If you've got RoF this is all going to be familiar.

That's right. Wives or rather widows, don't have to pay. Sons and daughters are made to pay. If you were the parent of a son - who was married - killed in 'Stan then incredibly, you too would have to pay.

Some explanation of whats going to be happening in the following few weeks from BlackSix, the community manager over on the BoS forum; - Week 1: LaGG - Week 2: Bf 109 F-4 - AI will be added to the early access sessions 2-3 weeks after the start. - By December you’ll get ammo and we’ll start trying out various sorts of un-lockable mods. - The general Stalingrad map will be finished by January. - The Mission Editor will become available in the Spring. We've a tentative roadmap and it's all we can say you now.

Bongo, if your mum is still around she could apply for all these. If you want to do it yourself, apply for the service records of your father and brother where they put themselves in harm's way for the service of our country, then the government will charge a £30 f*ck you fee to cover their "admin". I can apply for a copy of my own for free but I had to pay this last year to get a copy of my dad's service records. The actual amount they charge is irrelevant. The fact that they charge family members I find an affront. If you know anything of your uncle's operational history then this site is worth checking out too; http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/combat-reports-ww2.htm

Bongo, you need to have a look here. Or perhaps you need to get your dad and uncle to look here? https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records
