Who is Gay Ben?? BenGay Another simuliar product with the same effect would be IcyHot
-
Aand I thought the ring of fire was when the lights go out while reaching for the butt cream and get the BenGay instead.

Yep, saw this on FB a bit ago. Terrible, but happy no lives lost. Once again she brought home another crew, without her will to survive herself.

+1 Manufacture drivers are seldom ever good enough for gaming. http://www.guru3d.co.../driversweeper/ As for the pics in that thread, Don't hold me to it, its been awhile, and I'm sure I kept tweaking from that point.

I run my IL2 @ 1600x 1200 x 32 With my 260 I had it set like this and I was also able to run it like this. With both setting arrangements, I don't recall jaggies being a problem. When you upgraded your card did you use Driver Cleaner and remove all the older Video drivers before installing the new software for the new card? I still have that machine, If need be I'll hook it back up and confirm the settings those screen shots are from a couple of years ago. My 260 also has 896 ram instead of 512 too, so I'm not sure how much that plays into the jaggies. edit went looking for when I first bought the thing and found this old thread, http://www.gozr.net/iocl/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=709 Some stuff in it that might help.

I'm dropping it in here, just so we have it, in-case of anything happening to it over at UBI http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/23110283/m/9121094645?r=9121094645#9121094645 In addition hit the Sturmovik Essentials Link in my sig... lots of good stuff there. Particularly at Sim HQ and Mission4Today... Here are just a few of the GREAT user made utilities that in my opinion make this sim even more enjoyable. In Pursuit: An Online Pilot's Guide to Aerial Combat Neural Dream's Aircraft Reference Guide Also contains cockpit gauge refernces Hardball's Aircraft Viewer an online version of the guide basically.. both are very good. IL2 Compare An interactive graphical interface comparing aircraft statistics from weapons to performance stats. Uber Quick Mission Generator A utility that will allow you to make much more diverse quick missions using more maps and with more options than those found in the stock IL2 1946 Quick Mission Builder. Mission Mate A mission building utility similar to The U.Q.M.G. but different. IMO both are good and deserving of a place on any FB simmers HD. I think MM is a bit easier to use.... but The UQMG has other features that make it a must have as well.... better to have and use both. You will never need the QMB again. IL2 Manager 5.0 This utility will allow you to make certain adjustments within the config file.. like graphics setting etc. on a gui. While it is highly recommended that you learn where these things are in the config file, once you know that... easy and quick is the way to go. It also has a stick editor which will allow you to set up different profiles for your joystick sensitivity settings. IL2 Stab 6.3 Similar to IL2 Manager but without the stick editor and with a Diary feature. VAC- Voice Activated Commands - This utility is very similar to SHOOT.. it allows you to interact with your PC and thus the sim with voice commands. Very useful in coops. A bit tricky.. but a good program. Sniper's Corner - A nice utility to help get the angles aspect of A2A gunnery in your head Gunnery at AW.C - A good explanation of the tool and what is does. Also this entire section at AW.C is a really good resource. The RAF Gunnery manual and Bag The Hun a video based on the same literature but with animation made by Joe 90 in our movie maker forum. EXCELLENT tutorial videos on Dart's Page on all things from skip bombing to wingman tactics. ACM - Short for Air Comabt Maneuvers - This program will show you a short video of various combat maneuvers.... yo yos, immelmans etc. It is a very usefull tool. Dart's Training Videos One of the single best resources for fundamental combat training short of going to Joint Opsin this community. Dart's lecture delivery on the videos only adds to the overall quality. Even for die hard vets of this sim... if you have not checked out these videos do so. Skip bombing & determining range from the gunsight were two of the most helpful ones for me. There are tons more stuff to be found here: M4T Downloads from skins & missions to full blown campaigns and some very useful utilities. Some excellent guides on everything from setting up your hardware, getting the most out of the settings in the sim, to mission building can be found here: M4T Knowledge Base. For online play use Hyperlobby Just download the client, then once you download and install the client it should put an icon on your desktop. When you click that icon you will go to a screen that looks similar to below: Only there will be no callsign in the window. Pick a callsign for yourself. and enter it. Choose this wisely as this will be the name that you will be known for better or worse on HL. Select a password. Notice a small square to the right of the password box. That is so that Hyperlobby can remember your PW and you wont have to type it in each time you connect. There is also a feature where you can have HL automatically connect you once you hit the icon. I prefer to not use that feature. I prefer to hit connect. If you decide to have HL remember your PW MAKE SURE YOU WRITE IT DOWN SO THAT IN THE EVENT OF A HD CRASH YOU CAN STLL USE THE SAME CALLSIGN. Make sure that you enter the Forgotten Battles room NOT the IL2 or Pacific Fighters room. Hit connect. Hyperlobby will ask you to direct it to your 46 folder on your PC which in most cases is C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946. Once you do that it should load up to a screen that will look like this: Note that the dogfight rooms are the ones on the left.. the coop rooms are on the right. The difference between the two types of missions is that in a Dogfight Mission all of the pilots are live, and there are no moving AI objects such as ships, which limits the amount of ordinance you can carry from the deck of a ship since it isn't moving or planes etc.. In COOP missions however it is different. The ships and vehicles can move so you can take off from a moving carrier and thereby carry larger loadouts, and the opposition that you will face, as well as the friendlies on your side can be any mix of live and AI pilots depending on the mission and the amount of people/available slots in it. The open mission rooms in the middle can be used for anything. To find more rooms hit the General Room panel and more rooms will pop up in a drop down menu. There are two players lists... one lists the players who are in Hyperlobby but not flying, the other lists the plots that are in a server.. It will also list who the hosts are, indicated by a H to the left of their name in the ingame players list window. To select a server simply mouse to it and click it. By L clicking on any D

Adele Interesting voice, I like the tune, short the background singers were too loud. I've heard a bit of Imelda, I like it, too.

Welcome to the pound Coco. And thanks for the harem of painless will be a regular visitor for sure.

I just rescued a AMD 64 on a micro gigabyte board from works trash heap. Spent today setting it up for my TV it has on-board with HDMI. It works a treat, just watch netflix "WW2in HD" Also put my Web cam on it so I can sit in the living room and skype with the wife and others. It was in a Lian-li PC-62 all aluminum case too. (remember what those things used to cost?) Only thing missing is the chords to hook up the front USB. I put in an old IDE HD and a stick of used 2 gig Ram I have from the Intel board. Cleaned it all up, and stuck in some old LED fans. Also found an IDE DVD burner in the pile to put in it. This is how I found it. I took out the Creative control panel and sound card. I couldn't get its sound to go to the TV and let the TV control the volume. So I used the onboard/HDMI combination. Here it is put together to use. I tried to take one of it with the house lights off, but it just won't work out. I guess you'll just have to visit LOL Quality is a bit weak any whay using my phone. My Camera broke recently Too bad I didn't fond one of those too.

Yep its natures equivalent to diving fighter and strafing troops on the side of a mountain, and still dropping a Bomb on the train station in the valley. I wonder if all those eagles in that area are practicing this. Or is it just this one that has the brain power to figure this out. It makes for a bit of gluttony for sure too. Surely he doesn't eat the whole thing.

Amazing footage here, not for the squeamish.

Thanks Roger, I'd never heard of Mumble before. So I Googled it. That was impressive.

Been there done that before. Remote desktop to my house to surf and get around my IT guys.

I'm not worried, it's all sloppy seconds after Painless any how.

Anyone figured out the updater? The link they provide just bounces to the main Forum page.

New Patch Is Out!

still a turd for me. Still see the landscape shudder even whim getting over 70fps. And the landscape is complete crap, when I turn it to medium to get it to run on my pair of 4850's above 30 fps. Cockpit visuals on throttle still lag to what my actual sticks are doing. Click able use on mixture and throttle a tedious task to get the hand to grab them. -
Ok I drug this old post I made out of mothballs. http://forums.ubi.co...1762#9381051762 I made this back before our Fooltrottle made IL2 sticks Once he did that and some other guy expanded on it with IL2 Joy Control I've never had to manipulate it this way. But I keep it around just so I can help others like your self understand what is going on.

This is quite simple, but it takes time to get what you want out of it. Your curves for Elevator Aileron, and Rudder If they start at 1 and work their way up to 100 it will be smooth but less responsive. If you start at 100 and stay 100 all the way across it will be very responsive, and easy to stall, and hard as hell to aim. My self have Elevator and Aileron starting around 60 and 70 and ending at 100 for props. For jets I start at 1 and work my way up. It will require hands on, and adjustment to your style. of heavy or light handed flying. The ball is in your court.

10014101 is what mine still says. How do you force Steam to update? I just told it to Verify Integrity of Game Cache. -
Happy B-Day one day late.

Plug it in. Fire up game Set your axis commands to the MFFB Then test fly it, If you like it, use it as is. If its not quite to your liking, then you will need to adjust the sliders for Elevator, Aileron, and rudder to your liking. Just like you did or probably did with the X-45. I'm heading to work now. no time to expand on it any more.
