Re: "Poker Nights" - Recurring BOS Event

OK fellas, Poker Night is this Saturday. Sounds like they've got an IL-2 pit waiting for me. They're expecting some healthy opposition from the invading Germans. Anybody else gonna show up? If so, jump on it and let them know ASAP, so they can send you the poop and find a plane for ya. If not, I'll ...

"Poker Nights" - Recurring BOS Event

Hi fellas. Some of you will know about this from the BOS forums already, but for those who don't, the email I've pasted in below advertises the next one, coming up a little over 2 weeks from now. It's a Saturday event (for now at least), so I'm sure most of us won't be able or interested to make eac...

Re: Air Power (400fps)

Wow, you've created a monster there, Sneaky. I don't keep track of new hardware as it comes out, so I was surprised to learn they make SSD's that big... had no idea. So I guess the old spinning drives are essentially a thing of the past now?? Anyway I'd say you'll have the horsepower to get by for a...

BOS and ROF Christmas Sale, Plus big ROF update

Posting this here so people don't have to log in to see it.... If you weren't aware, there was a major update to ROF a couple of days ago, which includes quite a few flight model changes, many of which have LONG been requested. Judging by ROF forum, this may revive activity there considerably. That ...

Re: Update on Battle of stalingrad (BOS) and so

I somehow missed this, Dutch. A few guys were pretty turned off on BoS due to the unlocks. Others like me are still flying it, even though my guess is few if any of us like the current campaign too much. I am about 40% through it, and have not played online much lately. Rambo is still playing online...

Re: P.11 X-Mas Shoot Up 2014

Macca, latest version of IL-2 1946 is 4.12.2. I think Frank usually hosts this event in that (unmodded) version. If everyone also has the latest HSFX mod loaded, which is HSFX 7.0, then I suppose he may opt for that, since it allows for a few nice things... but don't think it's necessary. Hope you c...

Re: P.11 X-Mas Shoot Up 2014

Sure, the 14th sounds good to me. ^:) TB-3's one more time too - but we need a mission where they DON'T start inside the hangars, so we avoid all the crash/restarts. :lol: Might be fun to try a similar mission but use the Pe-8 instead. I think there are five gunners on each one of those. Just a thou...

Re: September 7th, 2014

The FI TS channel was down for me either Friday or Saturday - can't recall which. However it was up this afternoon, Frank, & we wondered where you were! Strange. Anyway you were missed today. ^:)

Ramping Up BOS Time This Weekend!

IL-2 BOS is now 70% complete & if you haven't been paying attention, momentum is growing nicely now. The last 2 weeks seem to have been the tipping piont in terms of many naysayers being finally won over, as well as what seems to be a good number of flight sim newbies buying in. The major update...

Re: 50p Flights to Ireland

+1 !!!! Outstanding find! These ladies are great - might look & see if they have more stuff. As for the airlines these days, we all feel their pain. Just this morning as I drove to work, they were having a long discussion about how terrible flying is these days in just about every aspect, and al...

Re: I'm shopping for a new Joystick or maybe a PC PU

Hi Pat,
I've had the same set of CH stuff for probably 8 years now, and never owned any Saitek, so I won't be much help on that either. Good to hear you might be rejoining our sessions in the near future though! Good luck gettin' this all sorted out, mate. :)

Re: Sunday 13th, 2014

Hilarious! Yep, that was a sweet winning play alright! First time I've ever watched that much of the World Cup, and though I've never played a single game of the sport, I saw a lot I could appreciate in the effort by both teams. Congrats Frank, and congrats to Deutschland! A victory well deserved! ^...

Agree with all previous comments, Vin.
