I have got a bit of online time in on BoS and will be online Sunday evening UK time. Plan to fly this if we have the numbers.

OK, Paula is away in Munich Tuesday and Wednesday so if you fancy a night on Elite I can get on for a couple of hours guilt free?

Yes, the FTL and supercruise drives seems a bit buggy to me. I made a bit of a major error last night with this - went to look at weapons upgrades and managed to strip out the lasers but not replace them. I then get attacked by a pirate and spent 5 minutes wondering why I could not get my weapons to...

OK, managed to spend a couple of evenings on this now and have managed a couple of flights between systems and a couple of trades - just like the earlier versions only slicker.

If you fancy getting on TS with this Eamonn we can try a team game?

Sounds like the blind leading the partially sighted then :lol: I did the first few scenarios last night, not ventured online yet. Do you know if the missiles are working in the beta? I could not get those to work. Like you say, it is familiar enough to the old versions to bring the memories back. Lo...

I have it, but have not had time to try it yet

More of a long term investment

If I get some free time to get to grips with it then would love to team up online - if you have been playing it a while maybe you can help me knock 20+ years of dust of my Elite experience!

Good luck Frank, hope you enjoy the family time.

Tough for me which team to support for Germany v Argentina. Normally I would want them both to lose but as that's not possible I'll support Gemany (and as we haven't been at war with you quite so recently )

Thanks Andrew, I'll give that a try first.

My Saitek throttle quadrant is on the way out. Only 2 or the 3 handles work so I can map throttle and pitch but not mixture for example. Question is what do I replace it with - my birthday is next month so it will my present to me! 1. Get another Saitek quadrant - when it works it is good. 2. CH Pro...

Make sure you map the various radiator controls in easy to remember places

You'll spend more time fiddling with them than anything else

If all else fails PM your address and I'll post you a disk with the 4.3 patch and the hotfix.

And I made some changes to the Stalingrad DF - sorted out the plane sets on some of the bases and got rid of some of the ground objects, so we could also try that again.

Hi all

Well I am back in the land of the flying - rebuilt PC seems OK so far - so I should be OK to join tomorrow.

I have a couple of TB3 duel missions if we want to do something really silly

What version - I have 4,12,2 and HSFX 7.01 - is that where we are ?

The FI are holding a vote on if we take part in the new campaign. Vote so far is 80% no. That could change in the next couple of days of course as more pilots vote, but it looks unlikely we will take part. There are several issues, but for sure the perceived unfairness has not helped. Graf Zahl you ...

So be it.....
