Welcome! You do sound like DangerDogz material!

Plenty, I hope! In the end, the idea is to picture it while on it's final mission towards Berlin ... in the very dark of a November night... so, well, you get the picture! Hmm... yeah, I do have filler and sand paper plenty, and yeah, this is a challenge for sure! Dunno really why I am not working on the Swordfish... Started working on it just eight years ago, there's still plenty of time left, isn't there?

Started on this one. The plan is to make it look like ED809, see here ...

Cool, now I get to re-assign the controls... again!

Started DCS 1.5 just now, and indeed it wants to update. And I let it. 13014.5M bytes to download W00t

Oh dear!

Getting a bit better, slowly ... not there yet ...

Mine just got updated through Steam, and it's running now ...

see here: Attention All: Steam Update is causing failure of the game to start

It's been broken by a Steam Update ... only thing to do is wait for a fix.

IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad Premium Edition Battle of Moscow - Standard Edition No idea what is included though. Yea, an IL2 ...

Thanks for the information. Too bad it's necessary ...

You must be doing something wrong. It's there! Thanks for the post, server had restarted, but there's no autologon procedure, so the game won't start ... Fixed now!

Wot? No Hurricane? Thanks Fenrir for the update!

Still in a startup phase, yet rather cool: https://miniot.com/pages/wheel-by-miniot

Yeah, nice, but... so COLD!

No, surely merely coïncidental, Sir!

Thanks Chris, great stuff! Footage of low level strikes... rather spectacular http://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/record/2027 And at 3:11, low level deflection shooting -> 190 on fire 00:04:19 [OPF 277. 17th April 1945] Shots showing four de Havilland Mosquito F.B. Mk VI light bombers belonging to RAF 487 Squadron flying at very low level over the North Sea on the camera aircraft's port side; on the starboard side, another Mosquito is seen flying about 80 feet above the waves

Interesting observation that... I've hooked up the USB 2.0 hub, and so far (4x 110 killed in a Hurricane in CloD, flew some P51 over the Ardennes, crashed a 190 into a Sherman tank - all with FFB in good order.... so, I'll keep reporting, besides spacing this watch ...

lol! Too bad any windows version over XP is not!

So, yeah, for years I've had just two Game Controllers, the MS FFB2 (with twist of the stick removed, and converted into a brake lever) and my lunchbox-Bodnar-based-Controller.... very nice, did the job just fine. Sure, there was the controller ID swap, but by switching off Hibernation it was cool, and never happened again. Well until I got a new Motherbord/Memory/CPU upgrade done. So, oh well, only have to re-assign all the controls of the 4 (?) games once. That's do-able, no worries. And so, I did. Done. Let's have some fun! Yeah, that worked fine until I started suffering from the FFB carping out every now and then while flying... And no real cause or fix for that. Besides maybe adding a power USB 2.0 hub. Yeah, try and buy one nowadays.That's a challenge, especially if you want it on a PCIx board. Oh well, found an old one at work. Nice! 7 ports on it! So, yeah, all good and fine. Until - yeah. You probably guessed what happened: The ID's swapped - again! Darn! I'm now going to switch hibernation on, and boot /shut down / shut up the thing until they have swapped again!!

Spent some time yesterday checking Artie's Pc... Even using TeamViewer. It shows the little steam popup box that the game is launching. That then disappears, the mouse cursor show the busy state ... then nothing. Tried so many things, and none worked. Verify files, renamed the 1C softclub/cliffs of dover blitz folder (starting the game did re-create the folder and contents though.) In the event viewer an application error showed up with a reference to Visuall C++ Runtime... Even un-installed and re-installed all Visual re-distributables. In the end, as Artie typed inthe chat bar, he did change some settings in Steam. But it's unknown which one. There is that 'Beta' option that should be set to 'Opt out' - if not set at that, the game might not launch - read that over at the Atag forums somewhere. Well, initially we checked that, it was set correctly... It's running now, so... All is well again! Edit: Link to topic at Atag: https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28130

Yes, even when you use the media creation tool now, it creates a USB stick with an old version of W10. That will get updates to 1709 (Fall Creeators update) and that process leaves the windows.old version. I get rid of it using Disk Cleanup.
