Axgrinder

Stump meant well just bad time to try it. Just remember if it weren't for guys like Stumper we wouldn't be flying MP!

Remember, when flying online there are AI aircraft already in the air with your flight. So, if you respawn you will be in a plane that is already in the air. Once all the planes are gone you will no longer respawn so the odds are still balanced. In our game when you are killed your primary pilot loses his life so you are starting with a fresh novice pilot. This way if players are shot down early they don't have to wait for an hour to rejoin. Plus if you have a good run going with a pilot you will be more apt to be a little more careful not to get shot down.

You may want to request a test session with someone to make sure you are good to go. That way you don't spend Sunday trying to figure out mismatches. I suggest someone throw up a test mission before Sunday since we had to upgrade again just to make sure everything is OK. I will try but I don't know when. Possibly Saturday early sometime.

Way to go Stumper! I will try when i get home this evening.

I still have the IP for the OFF team server called BlackHaze Vasco gave us but I can't remember the password to give you. The server address is: 70.87.174.165:8784 Does anyone else remember the password? Never mind. I'm done!

I will be on TS starting at 7pm est to see if anyone wants to fly tonight! I will shut down at 7:30pm if no one shows up.

IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH AIRCRAFT CLASSIFICATION AND THE SIZE OF ENGINES AVAILABLE. SMALLER SCALE AIRCRAFT CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS ULTRALIGHTS OR EXPERIMENTAL AND SO ARE NOT SUBJECT TO ALOT OF THE RESTRICTIONS FROM THE FAA AS PLANES CLASSIFIED AS PERSONAL AIRCRAFT.

Good Eye! I didn't catch that. It was supposed to be painted up to represent a French Squadron but i don't remember which one they said.

Yes. They all have modern control surfaces. There was however, one EIII that showed up one year that used wing warping I will see if I can find a picture of it. Here are pics of a full scale Sopwith Tripe with an original re built rotary engine that was there in 07.

I appologize for the misleading title. These pics are from 2005 and 2009. Glad you like them.

OK guys! Here are pictures of the Dawn Patrol Fly-In held every other at the National Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio. I have included pics from 2005 and 2009. I need to find my pics from 2007. I think they are on my computer at work. This year it was held September 25th thru the 27th. Enjoy! All of the planes are of course replicas and most are 7/8 scale with modern engines. but there are some very nice full scale aircraft with actual rotary engines. Seimens Schuckert replica (That's what they call it but it looks nothing like a Schuckert) 7/8 scale D7 Moraine Saulnier L Parasol Parasol with N17. 7/8 scale DH2 7/8 Italian Spad 13. Can you guess whose paint scheme? Hint: Fast Italian car Fokker EIII 7/8 scale Actual original Gnome rotary engine running! Nieuport 12 two seat recon plane. This actually came out BEFORE the N11 Bebe! Nice line up of assorted allied aircraft! Full scale D7 - Udet's of course! On taxi for take off. Full scale Fokker D8 on taxi for take off! Who's plane was this again? Duh! Full scale Dr1 ready for flight. Up, Up and away! WW1 German re-enactor on his post! D7 up close! Se5a preping for take off. Belgian N23. Anthony Fokker's trophy case! These following pictures are from 2005! N27 Curtiss Jenny Where have I seen this one before? This one has always been one of my favorits to show up to the event! Full scale Dr1 with a real rotary engine!! This is my all time favorite plane that has shown up to the Dawn Patrol. A full scale Fokker D8 with a rotary engine! I think this is a DH4 7/8 replica. I can't remember. There you go folks! Hope you liked em!

We tried this before! Stumper made custom skins for my personal aircraft abut no one could see it but me if they didn't have my file. If this new way works we need to have a good up to date place to get the new aircraft from. If you think we have problems now with mismatches - OH BOY!

If anyone is interested in some MP games tonight I will host starting at 7pm tonight. I think Football got in everyone's way yesterday so i thought I would try and make up for it tonight. I will be on TS from 7-7:30 waiting for anyone who wants to play.

I should be able to make that Stumper! See you then.

What time in the evening Stumper?

I live right up the road about 5 minutes from the museum and go every year they have it. I will be there Saturday unless the weather turns and there is no flying.

I don't have TracIR so mirrors have saved my butt plenty of times in other sims.

It looks good but it doesn't show you what's really behind you. It's just eye-candy it won't show enemy aircraft.

I'd like to run Axgrinder's quick co-op missions again like I used to but right now I am taking advantage of the weather before the bottom drops out around here. Plus I work on computers all day and this time of year is the worst for me. I do a ton of stuff for alot of the schools around here so by time I get home I don't even want to look at a TV or coumputer screen! I don't even play IL-2 as much as I would like anymore! Frankly I just get sick of computers sometimes. Once the weather sarts getting bad and more people are stuck inside you will see an increase in MP activity. I still have a ton of missions that people seemed to enjoy so maybe I will start running those from time to time in the near future.

My power supply max's out at 600. That should be enough!

Good news Gents! It turned out to be the video card. I am putting in a better one. I should be up and running by Friday or Monday at the latest! (Fingers crossed)

Wow! Big help Dutch. Danke Tested the PSU tonight and got 0 reading! Looks like the PSU after all!

[quote BTW Did you do the Voltage check to confirm the PSU damage??? Unfortunately I don't know how to do that.

I am running an Nvidia 8600

I did get that faint smell of ozone when I opened the cabinet! Not real strong very faint. I hope that doesn't mean I fried the MB!!! FYI: I have an HP m900t and I think it takes an ATX PSU 600-700 watt power supply. Any help on confirmation and where to purchase one would be great!
