Welcome back Fumps! Really 'rarely'? For the Dogz it still may be too often... If you want an easy way to bring your IL2 installation up to our current standard, then you can try and use CheckMods. (Or rather, use it on a copy of your IL2 installation,or rather make a backup copy of your IL2 installation, then run checkmods. Well, making a backup copy of your installation is always a good idea before you apply any updates and/or mods onto it...

Friday, Saturday, Sunday + whatever else.

Happy Birthday Shark!

Yuuuup!

Texcompres=0 will work if you have plenty of memory on your video card, Fruitbat obviously hás plenty. New thread on this subject: Popular Il-2 Config Settings, Widescreen, Graphics And Others (texcompress=0 is listed there if you have troubles loading big missions...)

How to change your conf.ini to get the most out of the game onto the screen. Edit your conf.ini file in a simple text editor, like notepad. Conf.ini can be found in the root of the folder where you installed IL-2 1946. Widescreen: Determine what your screen's native resolution is in width x height, you should run Windows in this resolution as well, otherwise settings below will not work. Check all the settings and their values listed here! (Popular values for width x height: 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200) [window] width=width height=height ColourBits=32 DepthBits=24 StencilBits=8 ChangeScreenRes=0 FullScreen=1 DrawIfNotFocused=1 EnableResize=0 EnableClose=0 SaveAspect=0 Use3Renders=0 As to prevent a paratrooper error / hang up at 90% while loading a mission: [Render_OpenGL] (...) TexCompress=2 (...) In order to have long distance viewing: 72km in stead of 36km: (You will need powerfull enough hardware for this, if your framerates drop significantly, revert back to =2) LandGeom=3 If you want to disable the mod that makes you have to open bomb bay doors: (Add the [Mods] section to the bottom of the file if it's not there) [Mods] BombBayDoors=0 ** Feel free to add to this **

Why don't we have a thread with things like this? Including Texcompress=2, Landgeom=3, IgnoreSwep=1 ... I'll have a go look whether we have one, if I can't find it, I'll create one!

Good idea on the mass email!

There's only óne game ya know... dunno what you are on about here.

He didn't drop it at alt? Would've been a nice airstart ...

Cool, great idea! By looking at Google Earth, something like Hale county looks green enough and flat enough for my taste ... go for it!

Nice one Rox, good show!

B-25 engine start, just stationary stuff, watch engine #1 at around 2:20, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=o1i0Jepi_9g

If all else fails, download and run (as administrator once, when on Windows 7) the latest CheckMods ... Link to ChkMods in the Vault.

Fueltank mounted in fuselage: Crew now coloured up: (Added some extra lighting effect to the second picture, using a led lamp...)

Samsung is nice and good, but those go kaputt ... sometimes in the end, sometimes sooner... And, yes there could be quality/image differences, but mostly they are only visible if you have the types sitting side by side, showing the same image ) I'm with Flyboy, if budget is tight, if a cheaper alternative is good enough....

Thanks very much guys! I'm kinda glad you hadn't

Will try and join...

Happy Birthdays all!

Commentator says: 'It was left to Lee Proudfoot to close the show, bringing his Spitfire in for a final run (...)' So, me thinks not Ray... unless... you mean in one of the other aircraft?

W00t... ! He takes that Spit ridiculously low .... (Is this where got your "final leg behaviour" from?) Fine bit of footage!

A fine challenge on that fire/water bomber, lovely!
