PD has said it all. You will not meet a greater bunch of guys online. Best nio

Yes Olham. You are correct.In certain hostelries in the City of London the same beer is sold in pewter tankards under the name Davy's Old Wallop. In sufficient quantities it can be a handful! best nio

Stiffy, you have reminded me of one of my favourite advertisments extolling the benefits of ale over lager. http://bp3.blogger.com/_l3hE1L9RPR4/R4S-pMDZySI/AAAAAAAAB0o/IG4_wCd-aW4/s1600-h/adverts_lager_boy_poster.jpg With all due respect to its fans ,I never could get on with Budweiser after I read the ingredients and discovered rice was one of them.Saki beer! best nio

There goes the neighbourhood! :nea: best nio

You may be interested to learn that the service records of 99,000 RAF officers have been made available on the National Archives website here in the UK. The records were compiled in 1918 -1919 the time of the creation of the RAF but they apparently contain many details of earlier service in the RFC and the RNAS. Unfortunately each record costs £3.50 to download.Ouch! http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/air76.asp Best nio

Al I suppose you could always dial up one of the Aces even if you are not in any way related. I see you are now an Elite member here.Many congratulations! best nio

I am pleased to report that Pilotsden is now fit and well again. Thank you to all who expressed concern. best nio

I am running 4 gb Corsair DDR2 800 MHz RAM in 4x1 format on my E6850, which is overclocked to 3.2 Ghz. It is rock steady. HTH best nio

I should just like to say that you guys have surpassed even my wildest expectations by the superpatch. which I finally got around to loading tonight. I like it .I like it a lot. Take a well deserved bow. best nio

Oh I pop in from time to time to see what's cooking. I just don't say as much as I used to.There are plenty of folks around here to do the talking. Seriously though .Great job.Well done for how far you have travelled. best nio

Some days you are the pigeon. Some days you are the statue. Today for you was a statue day. Me? I hope for more pigeon days! best nio

I am not a meteorologist but I believe that it would be more accurate to say that there is less air pressure up there at 10,000 ft. I found this:- The atmosphere extends above the Earth's surface 100,000 ft, and generally remains consistent, with a 78% nitrogen/21% oxygen mixture to about 70,000 ft. Above that, it becomes more a mixture of helium and other gases. This being the case, and because the highest elevation we find on Earth is about 30,000 ft, we can't really say that oxygen decreases with height. However, what does decrease with height is air pressure. At sea level, the pressure of the atmosphere is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). At 18,000 feet the pressure is 7.34 psi. By 34,000 feet, the pressure is reduced to one-half the value at the 18,000 foot level (3.62 psi). It is this reduction in pressure (or in other words, the less dense air) that causes hypoxia, a condition during which the pressure in the blood is not sufficient enough to deliver oxygen to the brain. The barometric pressure at 10,000 ft is ~670 mb. Meteorologists often use the following scale when describing specific altitudes. For instance, they will say, "The freezing level is at 850 mb." 1000 mb ~ 360 feet (110 m) 850 mb ~ 5000 feet (1500 m) 700 mb ~ 10,000 feet (3000 m) 500 mb ~ 18,000 feet (5400 m) 250 mb ~ 34,000 feet (10,200 m) E & OE best nio

Correct! A history of the power-station, which is apparently still the largest brick building in Europe, is available here. http://www.batterseapowerstation.org.uk/hist1.html best nio

I thought this may be of interest to those who follow and appreciate this splendid chap's work. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=14136 best nio

I guess you have all heard of this one. Looks a little small do you think? best nio

Birddog This may sound lame but I am at work and canot recall the make of my headset. I think it is a Sennheiser gaming noise-cancelling headset and mike, although I cannot recall which model. It is essential to ensure that the clip is firmly clipped to your headset.The fitting can be a bit loose. If I recall correctly, I had to wedge some folded card and trim it to ensure a snug fit. Do please persevere as I firmly believe, based upon my experience, that the clip does provide smoother gameplay over the cap-fitting standard reflector device. I wish you every success. best nio

Hi Birddog Your experience is different to mine. Just a thought, but when setting up did you go into your profiles and put a dot in the track clip pro button at the head of each profile page?. I apologise if you did so and this was not the problem for you. best nio

Erm no Olham. I find the clip does help improve the smoothness of TRACKIR ,probably because it relies on positive beams from the clip to the receiver rather than passive reflectors. It is USB cabled to your rig or hub and not wireless.I think Barnstorm was trying to describe the clip as looking like a bluetooth wireless device.

Wow ,Hauksbee.Those are impressive stats! That is on average:- 7.51 minutes per mission 9.71 minutes per confirmed kill 6.13 minutes per kill, if all are confirmed. Did you fit a supercharger and a Gatling gun on your SE? Glad to see you are flying for Britain. I guess the rest of us will just sit here sucking on a pint or two and wiping the sweat off your ground crew and the guy who marks the tally board.Go on like this and you will win the war in the air single handed! best nio

I do not believe this is an FM problem or we would all be experiencing these unwanted effects. Just a thought ,and I may be way off beam here, have you checked to see how your aircraft control surfaces behave in outside view when you start your QC flight? The reason I ask is that if, for instance, you fly with rudder pedals you can sometimes find that the axis controls are messed up and operation of rudder actually operates your ailerons and throws you around a bit.The solution ,if this is your problem ,would be to go to axis control settings in game and find your rudder axis control and delete everything you find in assignments apart from the rudder axis itself. This is a long shot. HTH best nio

I should just like to make the observation that the one thing that the IL2 engine has strongly in its favour is that it lends itself far more readily to online play than the vestigial CFS3 engine we have in OFFBHAH.This is not intended as a criticism off this sim. Many who have followed this sim through all stages of its development will know perfectly where I stand in my admiration and appreciation of OFF. In an online squadron I fly with, we regularly fly missions with over 20 members airborne joining from all over the globe.The lag and concomitant stutter factors, so prevalent in the CFS3 engine, are vastly reduced by comparison in IL2. I merely make this as an observation of potential interest to those who do enjoy online flying. best nio

Gous has been in the forum today (last at 3.41pm) . best nio

May I invite any of you gentlemen who are modellers to look at this thread which is over on the SOH site (heresy I know). http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=4760 I think those of you who take a peek will agree that this is modelling of the highest order. Mr Reid deserves to be congratulated for his dedication to his art IMHO. best nio

Well I know less than all of you about machine guns ,but my view is that is definitely game, set, and match to Mr TTTiger best nio
