Re: Box Damage model
Nearly every combat sim I have ever seen makes the wings far too strong. The main spar of a wing, even in combat aircraft, never extends to the tip of the wing for several structural and aerodynamic reasons. The outer third of the wing is a good average for the structure beyond the main spar. The vu...

Re: Wireless peripherals
I use the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero and I love it. Great battery life and superb sound for all applications.

Re: The Mighty Eighth - Even if you're not a bomber boy
We had fully human crewed B-17s back in the old Air Warrior days (Nax used to fly one) and it was a blast!

Re: Great Mission!
We were wondering how many you managed to shoot down since the ones that land, despawn almost immediatly so we couldn't count them! Looking at your AAR I think I shot at you if it was you tumbling down in a spin before bailing out, we thought you might have recovered until we saw the chute. :salute...

Re: Great Mission!
You guys did the dropping! We never saw the high cover schwarm until you were on top of us. Well done! And it was a fun fight!
We did manage to chew up the 52s a bit, though. One of them appeared to crash right into a bunch of equipment on Pitomnik airfield

Great Mission!
I know the second shift had some issues, but I have to say 27 IAP gives this mission two thumbs up. Even though as a squadron we got mauled, in the debrief afterwards we all agreed is was a great mission and we had a lot of fun. Starting off by having 110s bombing the airfield in the pre-dawn twilig...

Re: Thanks,
Paddy can help you through joining officially, or myself. We can get you in touch with the right people when the campaign starts. We run our campaigns in 6 week segments and then take a 2 week break. Last Sunday was the last mission for 2 weeks, but there is almost always people flying at the missio...

Re: Thanks,
Hey Tom, it was great flying with you! And don't worry about your formation flying, you'll get it quick enough. Paddy, Kurse, and I have been flying together in similar aircraft for months. And familiarity with your wingmen is as important as aspect of formation flying as throttle control and the re...
Re: Advice
I know Stu runs 3 monitors in BoX , he might be worth a shout. :nice: I ran 3 monitors until I got VR and still run 3 for Cliffs. The issue is that the outer monitors have drastically different aspect ratios than the center. It is really up to the video card whether it can handle it or not, but mos...
Re: Advice
I agree with Donkey -- with that setup it will be difficult. What graphics card do you have?
