  1. My successes in level bombing are kinda varying, better results when I am 'concentrated', and keep my air speed and altitude constant. I never use that method he uses to set the TAS, I use this bombsight calculator: bombsightcal0.33 (Well, due to not paying attention, sometimes I franticly try and fix the bomb sight on the target using inc/dec of TAS setting, but that never leads to a good hit, maybe once in a full moon if I am lucky!) I run the calculator on a separate Pc, but it should be possible to run it on the box you run IL2 on... not too sure! Usually I do the calculations before the run, preferably during briefing, as alt and speed should be known at that time. Circumstances during the mission beyond my control may lead to a re-calc being neccesary ... If you drop long all of the time... maybe setting the TAS is incorrect? Do you take the target altitude into the calculations? Though if you do not do that, it would mean a short drop when the target is higher than sea level... Also, wind might be a factor? Head wind/tail wind? This video does not mention side slip setting, which you will need should there be some wind in the mission. BombCalc does cover this... And yes, keep practising, using level stab does not always guarantee a fixed height and speed!
  2. Main spar broken? Oh dear...
  3. [sound] SoundUse=1 SoundEngine=1
  4. Check conf.ini for this: [HotKey gui] Escape=activate Should it be missing, or incorrectly spellled, fix it! (Just tested it, if I remove that line, I get the same issue)
  5. Get him "going"? Would be much easier if you simply delete his account 'round here, now wouldn't it?
  6. Could it be you've installed it in / under "C:\Program Files" ? If so, create a dedicated folder for IL2, in the root of like C: or whatever drive, and copy it out of "C:\Program Files\"...
  7. You needs to right click the executable, and select 'Run as Administrator'
  8. It's now on display in the same shop as the other bridge!
  9. Done!
  10. Always close/open the Rads when spawning in. Even when the slider/lever is in the open position when you spawn, you need to do this, otherwise it will still be closed! And, once airborne, move the proppitch back to like max. 85% (Power max 100%) otherwise you may cook it pretty fast as well.
  11. Will depend on the size of the case, whether the mounting points are the same. Next, the power supply, Mobo should have similar connectors, probably no worries there. But, as you're moving from AMD to Intel? Chipset drivers could be an issue, though same brand Motherboard. Check Gigabyte site whether it has specific drivers for Windows 10. (Link to Gigabyte) Download all the drivers from there first, and keep them close. It's been a while for me since I've tried something like this... Biggest issue might be the AHCI/SATA stuff... if that's being used on your current install... well, it might be W10 might not even want to start from the HD. Not sure whether you can easily switch the new board back to Sata only (in Bios), and then run the AHCI driver. Like said, it's been a while!! Maybe I see trouble where it is not really there. Jabo should know more on this, I'm sure. Oh, and W10 will probably want you to re-activate it, you may be needing a phone. Great stuff you got there BTW, that should fly along rather nicely
  12. Working on the old rail bridge currently. On facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BuildingAModelBridge/
  13. Thanks very much! Lovely Photos!
  14. Wot? A Brisfit and a Kestrel but no pictures? Video? Sound?
  15. Time Travel? Nothern France, 1917?

    Tonight, after 19 BST/20 CET... until like 21BST / 22 CET I can be available...
  17. Panic? No, never! (Still vividly remember me looking out of the cockpit of my Hurricane in slight right hand bank, looking down on that beauty of a yellow nosed Me 109 speeding towards me... I just kept on going at the same bank, and then he opened fire, blasted past me ... he did not land many hits, but I never panicked! Was an awesome sight! This was in an early SOW mission I think. Got plenty scared in later SOW missions... lol) \
  18. Thanks for that! Good show, very nice moves in the 3D up there... And how indeed very lucky you were at that one point. (And, how on earth can you spot those contacts, ánd ID them? Must be a combo of the video quality, my monitor and my eyes... I just can't see them when/where you did!)
  19. Oh dear, now Swep's gonna be deadly in a 109 too!
  20. After receiving a multitude of written complaints, the management team of the Lympne airfield have decided to move both the Windsock and the Radar mast so they will not be in the way of lousy pil2ots who appear to be incapable of stearing around them. Please do Donate, though moving the windsock is not expensive (though we had to wait for windspeeds to go down to below 1m/s - that took a big toll on the airfields supplies of sandwiches and tea), mainly, moving the Radar mast did cost a lot, as afterwards, it had to be calibrated again, it being further away from the North pole. (Or was it the windsock's pole?) Oh well...
