  1. Cliffs of Dover

    Enjoy it for what it is. Read on their forums that is the last patch for CLOD. They are moving on to the next segment.
  2. Hope all turns out for the best. Best advice is keep positive. Any time anyone gets on any horse wear a helmet and a protective vest they have saved my behind many many times. I exercised race horses for 20+ years and have seen every type of injury you can imagine,includiing fatal ones 99.9% of the time things heal and life returns to the usual day to day things. I personally have had various injuries spread out over some 40 odd years from horses, fractured skull, busted more ribs than I can count, wrists, hands three times,have been hung up and drug ect. The last accident I had at the race track I fractured the 4th vertebrae in my neck and doc said no more. So now I just ride for pleasure not to earn a living.
  3. It sems that so many people these days have such thin skins. One person states his opinion about another site and a so called service that he doesn't agree with. You get another who states his opinion on the aforementioned remarks. It makes for interesting reading. What makes the difference of opinion a reason to lock a thread?? Isn't that one of the reasons forums exsist? I personally agree 100% with the person who started the thread originally, and that's my opinion.
  4. WW1 Armor

    C.F.B. Borden had a museum in the 80's that had both a Mark4 male and female, a Whippet and a Renault. Whether or not they are still there I have no clue but they were interesting beasts to look at. Well except for the Renault because it looked like a toy compared to the others it is so small.
  5. Keep things as Wings a memory it was great at the time, now it's a POS if you compare it to what is available now. Yes I played it and pretty much every flight sim made since 1982. The target they set is not realistic in my opinion.
  6. critical error meesage

    Did you delete the stuff that the uninstall exe leaves behind? I had a few issues installing OFF as well but managed to get things right. I usually just go to the work shop thingy in OFF and hit the reset button, sure it deletes your pilots but it's better than doing an uninstall and reinstall. But each to their own.
  7. WOW lots of people getting upset for very little. What makes you so special. Crying censorship just because you don't like the subject matter or music it was set to. Just another form of dictatorship, if I don't like it ban it. BS!!! If you don't like it don't watch it or listen to it. My mothers family is all from Germany lived and grew up during the Hitler era, didn't believe in his BS either but if you wanted to live a half assed normal life you kept your mouth shut. My mothers uncle just happens to be one of the higher ranked Luftwaffe aces and no he was not a Nazi but did what he had to do. In fact a large number of the aces called him a traitor and a communist for his beliefs and conduct after the war. Yes I know all the Nazi krap is banned in Germany, so if you have an issue with something as stupid as a poorly done video and song on you tube take it there and ask to have it banned if your upset about it. In my opinion here isn't the place to gather support for your ideals. My 2 cents like it fine if not that's fine as well.
  8. The GTX9800+ is the exact same card that I had and upgraded a year or so ago the the GTX460. You will be happy with your choice. At least I am from 30 fps with the 9800 to 60+ with the 460. I use ground object density on medium, sliders 5,3,3,5,5 and receive 60 + frames pretty much every where except the airfields at low alt. It performs well with other games such as Battle field 3 and the usual 1st person shooters.
  9. Will have to give this a try, every little bit helps, thanks.
  10. Sounds like you are talking about the TAC screen(call it a radar screen) . The green line points to the next way point. The TAC can be changed to show friendly and enemy targets, ie. airccraft, ground targets, airbases and one or two others. Blue represents friendly and red targets are the enemy. You can drag the TAC screen anywhere you like by using the mouse. As for the key strokes to make it appear and disappear I cannot remember. There will likely someone coming along that can explain more about it for you. Best advice I can give is read Uncleals Hints and Tips on the top of the help page, many things there that will help as you get addicted to this game.
  11. You should see this!

    Was interesting for about 3 minutes, then it's the same ole, same ole all over again.
  12. OT Your all time Comedy Heroes

    There is really krap in Canada for comedies and or comedians, so my favorite comedian is Rowan Atkinson, and favorite comedy show is Episode of Absolutely Fabulous those crazy broads are hilarious.
  13. Weird I have been doing this for a long time. Never said diddly because I thought everyone could figure it out if I did.
  14. Does P4 get it's own name?

    OFF: Canvas Eagles
  15. CFS3 Ubisoft DVD version

    I have used the unmentionable from day one here and with every game I have purchased. Never had an issue with any of them.
  16. Hmm join the Army see the world. That's all fine and dandy, it's just some of the little details they leave out. Live in the bush for 30 days with just one change of duds, go camping in the winter when it's -25 to 40C like it is here all bloody winter. Little s$%t like that. Mind you if I had to do it all over again I probably would. Like they say there is no life like it.
  17. I have been using Olhams little mod for a long period of time and am totally happy with it. Personally I can't do without the labels because, I am wearing such strong glasses any stronger they will be bloody binoculars, and they may be a tad klunky.
  18. P4 DEVELOPMENT SCREENSHOTS

    I still say we have the BEST clouds in any sim I have ever tried. Can't compare them to CLOD because I haven't tried it yet and won't be for some time.
  19. Those looney songs were fairly popular back in the very late 60's and early 70's. By no means can they be considered serious music, but they had there 15 minutes of fame back in the day.
  20. OT - Ford

    My oh my how patience is needed and none to be had. Easy as pie to get the fuel out make sure battery has a bit of juice disconnect fuel line turn the key and let the pump do the work, it's a tad slow but it will work. Your only pissed at FORD cause that just happens to be what that particular van is. I don't know what vehicle brands you guys have in GB, but here Dodge is the biggest POS on four wheels. If you got the front door open why the need to drill rivets? Rear lock is screwed on from the inside, door locks on vehicles are so poorly made any force will cause them to be FUBAR. The rear door latch is just a half assed stiff wire bent and attached to the latch with a spring wire C clamp ithe clamp is off at the latch or the door handle end. For freeing stuck things like locks, rusty nuts(LOL), or other such things get some Move IT or use brake fluid, WD40 is the most poopular but is just that. Just don't get brake fluid on the paint it will remove it if left on. If all else fails and the vehicle is insured, a misplaced cigarette, or a dead short in the right place can solve that FORDS problem, not recommended but know a few who have partaken in such measures.
  21. Don't know if this will help you at all. But this is the settings I use ( Trak IR 3 Pro) and it works great. This is the profile I use as well, it has a fairly large dead zone to put up with my figgeting.The pic shows ROF profile but the attachment is the one I use. 369_Combat_Flight_min_egen_profil32.zip
  22. IL2 Cliffs of Dover status ?

    The Commenwealth didn't have a Queen during WW2, should be god save the King.
  23. The debate on how to fill out the forms and what wording ect. to use has gone on many times before. If any one is having lousy claim rates, it is on how the form is filled out and information given. Best bet is to search the claims form issue and take an hour to read up on it some. Use the replay feature to replay some of the missions you complete and you maybe suprised the amount of info that is played back for you. It will aslo tell you who put in the final rounds to bring that target down, where and when. There is also the option of not having to fill out a form if the paper work is a PITA for you. IF you killed it, it will be awarded as your kill in a few days using the no claim form option.
  24. I'm going to say that Olham is 100% right, with the ABC's he has listed there. Have noticed exactly the same things many times. As for the endless flamers well they really suck and the AI will still shoot at them even though they are flames from front to back. As long as it's burning I'm not going to waste the bullets on a dead plane just so I see it crash to get the credit. As long as that flamer doesn't shoot at me it's left alone. But as I don't normally use mods and have been using the Damage Mod the number of flamers seems to have increased by an easy 50% over stock. That maybe because the Damage Mod forces you to shoot more accurately?? I don't know diddly about that, but I shoot more for the engine and pilot now.
  25. For the witness box I use all the flight members names. If it is a 2 flight mission you are always in flight #2. Plug in all the names from your #2 flight even if you don't see them around, put em in. I just hit the Z key for the time make a note of it and continue on. How smart the game is I haven't a clue and I just used what seemed to work the best for me. I take it you use no labels or TAC, so if you don't see your target plow into the ground there is quite a unknown factor and maybe the bugger did make it home. Any ways hope things improve for you in the conformation department.
