What's BoM Conky?

No seriously, I really don't know.

Makes excellent reading Ted old chap.

Hi Skylla

You put the front marker on a moving vehicle or ship and it should move with it.

Hi Woof

I don't know how to shut up the radio chatter but you can get rid of the subtitles on the top of the screen by going into your IL2 config.ini and look for

[game]
NoSubTitles=1

Make sure it says '1' and that should fix it.

Wat Ho Chaps

I was considering buying a  Saitek X-55 rhino hotas.
If anyone has one, could you give me the dimensions. H.W.L. so that I can check if it will fit my 'Cockdesk' [the name my children have given gaming setup].
Many thanks

Hi all

Finally got ED to work though it meant putting in a spare HD, formatting it, installing Win 7, chipset and Gpu drivers, Google Chrome and turning off the firewall. Oh and don't forget you must not install it to the default folders or it will certainly go wrong, It has to go on the desktop.
By the time I had done all that I played for a couple of hours then DFM got released!!!
First impressions, Graphics cant hold a candle to SC but I'm sure I'll play it between SC modules.

What Ho Chaps

I purchased Elite yesterday but after hitting play it gives a blank black screen and goes 'Not Responding'
If any of you have it installed, any idea's?

Thanks all

Mak

I know what you mean Conky. One tiny shred of detail uttered by a Dev and reams and reams of speculation!!

DONT LOOK AT THE LIGHT!!

I CANT HELP IT!!!!!


anyway, about this nudity thing

I agree with you Conky, absolutly no pressure to change version's, but if we want to try it out and everyone is able, I have adapted the third mission in my Rasputitsa series to run on HSFX. Its in the drop box.

There are pro's and con's of course. HSFX has a much more able [lethal] AI and some of the other upgrades like waypoint patrols may be usefull in missions. On the other hand I would miss the RRR and the ability to assign Front Markers to moving land units so that the front lines can be made to move and objectives captured.

Mak

Will give it a try, Thanks

Hi Conky.
It would certainly make the missions more dificult and interesting that AI's a killer, I struggle to get a 50/50 kill ratio with the AI on Novice!!. Is there any reason we can't go the whole hog and play 4.12.2 with HSFX? The sounds alone would make it worthwhile, and then there's all those maps and A/C.
Either way I'm willing to give it a try one evening and any mission built on stock 4.10 will work right?
