  1. Blooming fantastic Arthur! Thanks for taking the time to put this together, everything seems fairly straightforward to me, having spent many years setting up IL2, CloD and DCS I had hoped / expected there to be enough similarities. However, the little tricks of the trade as it were, are invaluable for the BoX newbies like me. I'm hoping to be on later this evening from around 9pm to set-up and with any luck get some air beneath my Ruski wings.
  2. Yes, it was the password reset URL (http://il2sturmovik.com/account/password/reset/) which is linked from the log-in page on the splash screen. I just don't know why it was spamming it thousands* of times? I think it was directly under the 'Allow Access' button on the Firewall pop-up when I clicked it. I'll boot it again shortly and see what happens... OK i'm pleased to say it didn't happen again, woohoo! Thanks for your help anyway chaps, i'll be giving it a thorough testing tomorrow evening fingers crossed. *"A typical 8GB RAM and i7 Processor can crash out your google chrome for around ~9600 tabs."
  3. Ok, so I bit the bullet and bought BoS Premium yesterday. I only had about 10 minutes before bed to have a look after it had downloaded and initial impressions visually are very encouraging, without any set-up. I didn't assign anything, just launched a LaGG 3 quick mission to have a gander. I'll get down and dirty with it tomorrow when I have more time. One strange thing I ran into, on initial boot of the game after install, when I clicked 'allow access' to the first run firewall popup it seemed to repeatedly spam the forgot password button on the splash screen causing many thousands of tabs to open in Chrome bringing my PC to a grinding halt before i'd even got into the game. After returning some order to the situation via the task manager, force quitting everything, I tried again but it wouldn't log me in, it just sat there with a spinning wheel for about ten minutes. Tried logging into my account online but it denied access due to over spamming from my IP address! I gave it a few minutes and tried again and managed to log in to the website no problem. Tried the game again and it did it again, a cacophony of clicks as it opened Chrome and spammed the hell out of it! I managed to bring it back under control eventually without having to force quit the game this time and logged in OK. I was close to turning off the PC by the button and walking away though! What would be causing this? It's like a sticky key but I couldn't find a culprit. The second time it happened there was no firewall pop-up, so I don't think that was the issue.
  4. OK... I caved too. BoS Premium downloading now...
  5. Not entirely convinced with the engine sounds and it looks a bit 'technicolour' but impressive nonetheless. Properly tempted with BoS premium though.
  6. Took the words right out of my mouth. I've been spending some time watching BoX videos recently and think i'm going to give it a go sooner rather than later. I have a rig that'll run it and there's a sale on. Last night was disappointingly quiet for CloD with only FT, Dan, Alpha and me... I still managed 15 kills though
  7. Ok, i'm really tempted now. It's my birthday in a couple of weeks, perhaps I should treat myself
  8. This is encouraging news for sure
  9. Ooooooh, this could sway me to BoX for sure...
  10. P-51 cadillac of the sky! One of my favourite films for aerial sequences, featuring the late great Mark and Ray Hanna. Ray is the pilot waving at Christian Bale's character.
  11. No sound on this one, but rare footage indeed.
  12. BEAUTIFUL! Interesting choice of wheeler landing and long, fast, tail-high roll-out.
  13. I would love to but i'm already booked for a biking trip that weekend unfortunately. I see R4118 has just cracked a bank on her Merlin, hope she's back together in time to make it 7 for the show! Now that would be a sight.
  14. Stevo Hinton (Steve Hinton Jnr.) is preparing to break the 28-year-old world speed record of 528.3 MPH in his highly modified P-51 Mustang “Voodoo.” Hinton Jr. will make the attempt tomorrow (August 27) across a 3-kilometer course in Idaho and can be followed here: http://www.pursuitaviation.com/world-speed-record Here he is putting Voodoo through it's paces, turn it up!
  15. What a GREAT day.
  16. I believe our very own Fenrir made it to this show at the weekend, witnessing Dan Griffiths put on this stonking Spitfire solo. Tight rolling manoeuvres that keep the aircraft firmly in front of the crowd, with hints of the Mustang whine as the .50 cals flute with the high angle of attack. This guy really knows how to show off a Spitfire, lovely stuff. (shame about the shaky vid, but you get the idea)
  17. Oh i'll be there i'm sure, just not booking anything yet, it's a cash flow thing you understand.
  18. A bit of paraffin burning light relief (look away FT )
  19. These videos just further highlight how damn good DCS is!
  20. Sweeeeeeet! Gimme
