Deadhead

Thank you Polovski , at last a USEFUL answer. It's not really a problem for me mate it was more curiosity than anything tbh. I know about the advantages of P3 over P2 but for the amount of time I have spare to play the game I just dont know if I can justify the layout in the current climate as I may be losing my job very soon. However , kudos to you on such a brilliant series of games and keep up the good work , and thanks again for your answer.

Jesus you guys are a real joy , I ask a simple question and all I get is abuse . Why bother even answering if that's the best you can do ? As to "growing up" ,I'm 59 .

Thanks for your input mate , I wasn't complaining , merely curious because the skins that don't show are very often actually there in the skins list and sometimes Do show.

Can anyone please remind me of the name of the program used to turn off background applications or maybe point me to the relevant posts ? Thanks in advance cos i know someone will.

Thanks again everyone , I actually found Enditall just after my original post and it seems to fit the bill quite nicely so I'll stick with that for now. FYI Stingray "squiffy" USED to mean slightly drunk but maybe those guys had their own meaning . I think its also been used to mean strange or even gay but its not a commonly used word in my experience.

FSAutostart was the one i was thinking of , Thx for all the helpful suggestions everybody , i'll check out some of the alternatives too.

Thx m8 but its a downloadable program to safely turn off selected apps. etc i'm looking for , i seem to remember it was discussed somewhere on this site but i could EASILY bee wrong with my old memory lol.

File Name: Nieuport Variations File Submitter: Deadhead File Submitted: 26 Mar 2010 File Category: Aircraft Skins Some Nieuport11 skins I made while fooling with Paintshop , don't flame me they're not meant to be historically accurate , and they can certainly be improved so maybe they'll inspire somebody to give skinning a go.

Wildcat , what can I say ? I can only bow to such a superior craftsman . I toyed with this skin myself as I had a model of this aircraft many years ago but I dont have a fraction of the skill it took to this. Once again I congratulate you on such amazing work.

File Name: Albatros DVa Hornet File Submitter: Deadhead File Submitted: 24 Mar 2010 File Updated: 26 Mar 2010 File Category: Aircraft Skins Just one of many skins i made in playing with Paintshop hope you enjoy . Dont be too critical cos its just meant for fun and not meant to be historically accurate in any way. Read the readme file. Click here to download this file

Hey all , I just bought this about 2 weeks ago and been trying the campaign , just in easy settings ( ok I'm a wuss but I haven't had the time to really get into it yet ) and I've hit a problem. At about the sixth or seventh mission in the third chapter , and at the same point in the full campaign , the game just locks up . It's done this with 2 different pilots . I'm guessing it must be near the end of the campaign , the 1st two chapters completed fine. Anyone know if this is a game fault or do I need to re-install ? I'd be grateful for any comments. Btw if you're playing in easy settings and don't like the colour of the "God's Eye" radar screen just change the colour in Paintshop or any paint prog. I find a black screen gives good contrast . If you can't figure how to do this say the word and I'll post mine .

File Name: "Squiggle" File Submitter: Deadhead File Submitted: 18 May 2009 File Category: Aircraft Skins I have no evidence that this is a real paint scheme except the profile which I found somewhere on the internet but I like it so you might too. Maybe someone will be able to provide some info on this one , and maybe you can think of a better name lol. Click here to download this file

Hi m8 , I'm not aware of any blank skins a la Il2 , I just use the ones that come with the game ( not that I've made many skins ) but it shouldn't be too hard to make blanks.

Please read the text files before installing. Click here to download this file

Hey m8 thx for the pic , Ive been on holiday and not checked the site for a while so sorry not to get back to you so soon. Yes I was aware of this scheme used also by the British development aircraft I believe but to be honest I had completely forgotten about it , nice one m! and thx again.
