Re: Landing SOP

Just so it's clear, I wasn't suggesting we don't use the proposed landing procedure by saying that, lol. I only make that point as I've not seen anyone cut anyone else off now for a long time. I know, but I've been a TP long enough now to know that someone, somewhere, will cock up. It's a universal...

Re: Landing SOP

Thankfully the mission designers will be killing some of us off, and the squadrons may well return at different times, so there shouldn't be any real overload provided everyone follows the pattern, sees who is landing ahead of them, and waves off as needs be. The only downside is that people land in...

Re: Landing SOP

Note to everyone: When both squadrons are landing at the same field, switch to SRS channel 3 (or whatever channel is specified by the mission builder) when you reach the airfield. Squadron commanders can make the decision when to switch if returning as a squadron, otherwise everyone can switch as th...

Re: Introduction and hello...

@Sparky I’ve taken your email out of your post as it’s a public forum which means that Hatter could sell your details and we wouldn’t be able to prove it was him. You can pm it though.

I will gladly pick up the tab for the squad...

Guzzler has joined to save the day

Chaps, give a warm welcome to Guzzler . Be nice to him as he's a decent sort, which is why he's posted to No1. Guzzler be careful around the No601 mess. New recruits tend to go missing there or they turn up gibbering like maniacs covered in grease and bits of bacon. I'm not sure where they get the b...

Re: VR questions, double app windowed on desktop

One question, when I lifted the headset to have a look there appears to be two versions of the game running on the desktop, with two windows dividing the screen vertically. First time in VR? It's a doozy. https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/12826-game-updates/page/2/#comment-1152669 See number 28.
