Great stuff Squawk. This is the G1 version with the BK3.7 pods (and only 12rpg) so if you had the D5 before you're not going to do it...... The Bf110 can get the same gun (single), dunno if it's available to us. I do notice with the 110 that when the rest of your guns are gone the 3.7 is still banging away, must be more ammo.

Case:

The Typhoons may not have done that much damage to tanks but they contributed so much to keeping the German transport off the roads during daylight that they were well worth having. The Spit pilot I was talking to praised them highly saying they saved the butts of ground troops often. When they appeared in the sky the Germans went to ground. As for Hollywierd, I think all has been said that needs to be.

$20 is cheap enough to gamble on. Once you do have it I would go ahead and try to fix the original. You have a good electronics supply place right in town and have nothing to loose.

The Ubi-fix patch is supposed to fix loading problems with the Ubi download version(if you got that one). And anytime I go to desktop with Alt-Tab I have problems. Windows key always works.

LOL And I thought I was going too far with the setup. I'm impressed and inspired Crash, Sid.

So.... really you don't want to attach them to the floor, you want to attach them to your chair. Screw the pedals on to a base that is wide, wider than your chair so your feet don't get tangled. Attach some kind of cord to the base with a hook on the end, once you get settled in your chair, reach down and hook the cord on the shaft above the wheels of your chair. You can push as hard as you want and never move. Rubber would be best for a bit of give so you don't destroy the pedals. A pair of wide bungee cords would work great, they have a hole at one end to screw onto the plywood and a hook on the other. Might be awkward if the doorbell rings though. And if they ever break ..... POW. You are gonna hit the back wall at 20kph. Concussion, twisted neck from your headphones.... Explain THAT to the insurance company.

Whenever you do a campaign in DCG you know the message you get saying "replace D-gen with DCG?" I suspect that is what happened. It's in there somewhere, dunno how to get it working again though.

Check your ISP home site. Mine offers an F-secure online scan through their website. I haven't had a virus scanner installed on my computer for years. Firewall yes, spyware yes.

DCG replaces the in-game(D-gen) one. Did you install DCG and then delete it? This is the help page for the third party DCG. http://www.lowengrin.com/content.php?article.cat.8

The CH's I used to have needed a wedge for the right angle. Saitek's don't need the wedge for me. I put a big book between them and the wall but I think I'll just drive a couple of screws through mounting holes and the carpet into the floor. I push em all over the place. I have the tension to max and like Snako still lean on them too much, always skidding the wrong way.

Thanks Painless, it gives me an excuse to look him up and thank him for the memories, gently put feelers out if he would document his experiences. I'd always heard he was reluctant to talk about it (I think his brother was killed) but when he wears a suit you always see his little RAF wings.

Yeah thanks, just a noob starting off with FMB, learning as I go. Got that sorted out. Having fun.

Got the pic. The happy gent in the center is our intrepid Spit pilot, I'm left. They're holding a pic of a hunting trip where the best way to lure a moose is a moose call combined with Mac filing a bent prop off the outboard.

Today, this humble simm pilot had the great honour

Thanks for taking the time to put this all down DT.

I seem to recall some motherboards not reading the temperature correctly. Maybe a quick google to see if your fears might be groundless.

I now believe the stats do NOT reflect the way the game is modeled. Trout and I just finished some testing and even right up to 6000 m the LA appears to be have the advantage. The only thing we have available that can deal with the LA is the 109G2.

I would be the guilty party there. That quote was right from the game's aircraft guide. High speed scissors is counter to what I thought scissors were, a low speed series of turning maneuvers

Yeah, I messed this up somewhat. I was not aware when you test the mission from inside FMB you're only in the plane you select as "player". When none are selected as "player" you can external view any of them but not fly any. The mission works fine in the game once I removed the player checkmark from all planes. Thanks for the quick reply anyway, this mission building stuff is sort of fun.

change what is the question........ first foray into FMB

I wanted to add a few things to a mission Mad Trooper created so in my first foray into FMB I did so. Tried his first and it flew fine, I could select any plane. I added a few flights and on one plane I clicked the "player" tab. I can only fly the plane with "player" checked, I'm assigned that spot when the mission loads and cannot change. I want to fly others so I uncheck "player" on that particular plane. When I load the mission I can't select any plane. What have I done wrong?

Figures, oh well.

There was talk in another thread about the difficulty of keeping the ball centered without any sort of reference beyond the in-cockpit gauge. If there was some way of reading the game's output for the slip/skid (not my area of expertise) it would be fairly simple to make a remote gauge using an LED display or a bank of LED's. Hell, you could even rig the output to swivel your chair with an actuator with a little more work for that seat of the pants feel. Is it possible to read the games output? If so, I might see this as an interesting project to pursue.
