I use the keyboard for trim as I have a Saitek force feedback stick. I must admit I've been bounced loads of times online whilst I've been fiddling with trim. Trim on the hatswitch? Thats an interesting idea. I'm gonna try that for IL2 1946. Can't use it for CoD as I've got the zoom views on the hatswitch which works very well. My you, trim is one of the last things to worry about in CoD at the moment, lol.

Yeah, I'm up for it.

Lol lots Angus! BG whats all this about 'fundraising' for the Tamil Tigers? Did this really happen. What has been Canada's connection with Hizbollah? I'm asking you as I know I'll get a straight answer. I expect JP's too busy considering a political career!! Oh yeah, what happened to the Quebec mob? They seem to have gone into meltdown.

What did they call these Ops.? Rodeos? Didn't they become quite sophisticated operations; top cover, low cover, close escort? Then follow up sweeps, withdrawl cover, etc. Will it be like that?

Nice one Kev, looking forward to this. Cannons! Mmmmmmm....................

This one has got to be worth a caption competition Where's his hand?

So can we get back to discussing the saucy bridesmaid then?

Hey, happy birthday Todd. Hope you have great day!

Wow, never realised it was like that FT. Looks like the Lancs bomb bays have been stuffed with loaves of bread? A friend of mine's Dad is Dutch. He was fifteen and an orphan in 1945 and can still recall the relief and wonder at food from the sky. Immediately after the liberation, as an orphan he was evacuated to the UK, by the Red Cross I think, as a temporary measure whilst Holland got itself sorted out but ended up staying. Of course if that ass Montgomery had secured the whole of the Sheldt estuary in the winter of '44 when the kruats were in full flight eastwards there would have been no need for operation Manna and the war in the west really would have been over earlier.

You know, you'll never make archbish with thoughts like that Friar. Vice-bish perhaps............

Just been made to watch some highlights. Ahhh.................Was the maid-of-honour wearing any knickers!?

Aha! The latest beta patch gives force feedback but all it seems to do is make my Saitek Cyborg 3d jump all over the desk like some sort of er, 'adult' toy. I've tried setting FF to '0' in the Confuser file but is don't seem to do anything. Is there another folder I should be altering too?

It's around for you if you do a bit of digging. You can get the English version here; Just Flight It's all legit and worth bearing in mind if it don't release in N. Amerca tomorrow. US release date seems to be slipping again

Trib, my pc; E6600 intel chip running at 2.9ghz. Thats a dual core chip. 4gigs of decent ram and an Nvidia GT460 card with 756mb of Vram. Upgraded from XP to Win7 64bit. With all the latest patches for CoD I run it at a resolution of 1680 x 1050 which is my screens native resolution. With a bit of fiddling with the games video settings menu I get in the range 30 to 45 fps. It is now perfectly playable for both online and offline for me. Infact the graphics quality/framerates/stutters is no longer an issue so I'm now able to moan about the whole host of other things that are wrong with this game. The various bugs, stuff just plain missing, the awful sounds and the clunky and counter-intuitive GUI. I think proper SLI support and more optimisation of the games use of multi-core processors are now the devs priority before US launch. In short I think your machine will run CoD adequately on Win7. The next step would be a 'latest and greatest' graphic card but I'm not really up to speed on that sort of stuff at the moment. Good luck

@Toad, latest patch containing force-feed back support, etc. is still in Beta. Should be on Steam early this week. I'm pretty sure Oleg said a couple of years ago that if you could play IL-2 on perfect settings, fairly maxed out then CoD would be playable at least on medium settings. I think they've acheived that now. I think that the performance/graphical issues have been sorted for the time being. They should now concentrate on the clunky horrible, counter-intuitive GUI and then go on a general bug fixing spree. I'm very pleased that force-feedback support has now arrived. Infact I'm now very pleased with it, period

Hi there JG1. Although you have registered on our site with us you don't automatically get full access to stuff like our download vault or teamspeak details. I rather feel this CloD mod has now been superceded by the last official patch. If you have the game installed Steam will have updated your game already. Another official patch will be released by the CloD devs later this week. Are you interested in flying with us? If so tell us a little about yourself and I'm sure our glorious leader BG will be along soon to welcome you. We don't mind people joining us who are also members of other squads. Several of us are. We seem to be flying just about everything at the moment on just about every night of the week too If you want an idea of what flying with the Dogz is like then check this thread out; My link Good luck!

Happy Easter BG and the Dogz. Today was my youngest sons sixth birthday. Weather has been scorchio all week and I'm on Easter holidays 'till Tuesday. Sorry Snacko! My best wishes to you on getting Baptised, btw. Instead of going to the beach we had some friends and their kids round for a birthday party/barbeque. Just come in now from sitting around the firepit in my garden, drinking wine and shooting the shit. Feeling very mellow. Looking forward to flying with you and the guys on Saturday now I've got my rig sorted out. Young gentlemen prefer blondes; Getting in on the act with his big brothers and their mates;

Nice one Rog. DL'ing now.

It's started; Auntie Beeb says

Welcome to the flock, Beta

Aha, yep. Thats a good idea. I must say I've been quite impressed by Steam so far.

Is the mod I've got installed going to conflict with the new patch when Steam does it's thing, d'ye think?

Er.......Richard Gere fan?

Yep, same here! Currently having an unfortunate "vacuum cleaner/pc interface accident" thats wiped-out the power supply. Should have a new one installed next week in time for this. Just suffering CoD withdrawl symptoms at the moment.

Cor, now getting 30+fps over land and 40+ over water!
