Nope, I have no such file there. Should I?

Eh? I have one button mapped on my keyboard (B) to "Drop Ordinance" and that worked in QC testing. I hit R after that to watch them go (I've re-mapped most keys, so don't be confused). Strangely though, in a campaign mission yesterday I hit the B key, then the R key and nada. I'm going to double-check.

Wrong mixture leading to over-heating and busting the motor?

I just tried, error message at the popint of going into the plane: "Program has stopped working".

I've been snarfing pics off the net for a few years, they're part of my extensive collection. I'm a con...cono...collector, innit.

Commiserations old chap. But, looking on the bright side, better a young sprog with only a couple of hours under his belt. It still hurts, but not as bad as an old vet with a couple of hundred.

There's some excellent stuff in there, looking forward to getting it.

The first collision with it seriously impaired your short-term memory I take it.

Red Dog, are you aware the campaign in which you're flying has this: http://www.hetzer.talktalk.net/ ?

Just to gauge possible interest. It's a DiD thing, but under the full 'pure DiD' settings (no T, L etc). Set a start date (eg, a week from now) and apply that date within the campaign, to run in real time. So Oct or Nov in 1915 or 1916 as a start (not even sure if the game runs from oct/nov 1915). Everyone joins a squadron/jasta of their choice, but it would be nice to see as many people as possible in the same sq/jasta (respectively). Fly when you like. If you miss a day just advance the time in the game next time you fly to keep sync with real time. Stats recorded on nice sq/jasta pages on my website. Hopefully you can see where I'm going with this, but any questions fire away. I kind of feel it would be a pleasant new twist, community-spirit thang, all on the same page sort of deal. Each pilot's entry could have a link back to a logbook/diary here. Waddaya reckon, any interest? If enough people say "yes" I'll do it. I think the current killboard has died the death because it lacks that all-inclusive pull, if that makes sense. New DiD website is now here: http://www.hetzer.talktalk.net/

I don't want it, it's just on offer for those who wish to make use of it.

What beverage is that? Never mind, I found it: http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=751

I second that.

Probably. I believe the Saitek FFB drivers are generic and mine certainly don't work in W7.

Please be aware, the game's campaign may miss Oct 31st. I don't know if this was just my campaign missing a day because of bad weather or something, or it's an engine/OFF-campaign limitation, but either way there may be no DiD flying available for saturday (certainly isn't for me at least).

1) Only if one jams. 2) I've seen troops only marching on roads and at airfields manning AA. There are also trucks, tanks and trains. If you fly low over any enemy territory you will be engaged by any MGs and rifles within range. 3) Yes, all and any crew can be killed.

I'm using the latest, the 191.07s. I'm a bit leery of going back to anything earlier in case it makes things worse.

Try high-lighting everything in the file, right-click and save it, then paste that into a brand-new notepad page. Delete the one in the game (that you just copied from) and save the new one you just made (with the date modded) into the game with correct file-name (same name as the original you just deleted). That should get you around whatever glitch it is you're experiencing. Maybe better than deleting the original, just remove it to some other location, just in case.

When you get to the fighters it's as much as when they add your name to their killboard it's for what you score with them. Your total stats are kept back at HQ (my DiD site), so to speak.

It's not a race or competition chaps. Imagine you are filtering into the squadron/Jasta over a period of days, you're not all obliged or expected to start on the exact same one. If you don't arrive at your unit until 1st nov (or later) that's ok.

From which company did you order it? I've had controllers come with european connectors, but they always had a UK adapter supplied with them.

Yes, I agree, what's up with our famous Flash Braveheart? Too many young fillies on the go, not enough time to fly I'd wager.

Oops. Ahem. Bit of a cock-up. It would appear the RNAS-2 bombers are single-seater Strutters until nov 5th. I had assumed, while testing in QC for 29th oct, that the planes to choose from in the list were the Strutter and Strutter-B1 (early Strutter 2-seater and late Strutter 1 1/2 2-seater). I chose the Strutter, thinking the B1 was the 1 1/2. Turns out the B1 is a 1-seater bomber. So first mission, it's a scramble. I take off and get clear, look over my shoulder to check my tail and..."WTB?! Where's my bally gunner?! " Major consternation, I'm flying a barge in the middle of a hornet's nest and have no rear defence. Sorry chaps, if you choose to fly from now you might find it a bit hairier than it should have been until nov 5th. Fog of war and all that though, pip pip! I did get two claims in however.

Apart from a few people who haven't yet submitted their persona names, which can be done with their first live combat-report anyway, I believe everything is done and ready to go. So I can see no reason why this can't go live right now and in good time for this weekend. For those who have already set their campaigns up to start from nov 5th, Creaghorn has outlined earlier in this thread (PAGE 10) the simple method of editing a text-file to input a different date (a 30-second job). The RNAS, up to nov 4th, are flying the earlier-model Strutter but it's pretty much the exact same plane as the 1 1/2-Strutter. So chaps, from this day of our lord Oct 29th 1916/2009, sync your game-date with today's and have at it.

Here's where I got my Knights Cross a few years ago, solid-silver frame on an iron core, made on one of the genuine WW2 jigs apparently: http://www.nicholasmorigi.com Put pour le merite into their search engine (page-link doesn't work, sorry), they have a few. The solid-silver one costs a fortune but I'm not impressed with it's enamel-work, looks a bit rough.
