  1. Just to add Vista should not be a problem. I have Vista, WinXP, and Win95 all running on the same network. Vista should configure itself when it boots.
  2. I was having a lot of crash to OFF manager problems until I went from a 256 Mb video card to a 1 gig card. I still wonder about a memory leak in the game though. I get a crash if I leave it paused for too long.
  3. Best book?

    No Parachute by Arthur Gould Lee.
  4. Aerodromes

    "By the by, if you haven't read 'No Parachute' you are, IMHO, missing out on the BEST book on WWI flying. Given that it was written on a day by day basis, as a deliberate attempt to record his experiences, Lee achieved an immediacy and realism that is lacking in other books - which are most often written from memory many years later eg Sagittarius Rising, An German Airman Remembers, Recollections Of An Airman, Flying In Flanders, Winged Warfare and Winged Victory. Even Flying Fury was written a year after most actions occurred. " AMEN! Didn't Lee end up dropping a wheel in one of those drainage ditches and crashing at some point? Gun jams are another. OFF has very forgiving gun jams compared to Lee's real life experences if I remember correctly. Been a few years since I read this one.
  5. AI outrunning me in a climb (or any other time they want to). I don't mind the morons having more powerful planes so much as them rubbing my nose in it.
