First of all - thanks to grumpybear007 for mailing me a beautifully labelled DVD - it's better than most bought stuff you get nowadays.

And WOW is it worth it. I installed it last night, managed a free flight last night and another this morning. It made me late for work but what the heck. Three missions flown, two Albatross shot down and one mid-air. Seems about par :)

A query though. I've got a dual core and I need to set the affinity to stop that terrible wobble you get. Anyone know how to cure this permanently?

I need to look in to free track as well - I imagine it will revolutionise the game.

Looking forward to getting shot down by you all.
 
Ever since Microsoft shut down it's server, there's been very little shooting down, being done. :kilroy:
 
Thanks - MS isn't recognising my key for some reason so I can't install it. That'll probably be the change of mobo.

Shame about the server.

Is there any way to get into Warp with a slower plane? I don't have 40 minutes to fly to a rail yard - I've got too much else on.
 
You need 123 mph to wrap so you'll need to dive to reach that speed and press x. Or there's a patch to reduce it at 66 mph
 
If you got your DVD from grumpybear there should be a "warp" patch on the disk. I got my copy from him and it included this stress relieving patch (pardon the pun).

Cheers,

You need the 123mph, but a 1000 foot min. Normally climb to 1700, shallow dive
DH2 - 2500 feet
EIII - 3000 feet
Gauges on ( F5 )

.......................................................................
The WarpZap Patch allows Warp at 66mph, BUT No minimum altitude.

You can get in trouble, hitting a house, a tree, or a Hill ( you lose )

If you volunterily hold 500 feet... NO Problem :kilroy:

The warpzap file is there on your Dvd.

Brilliant - thanks all. I was seeing my fun snatched away. Should have known better :d

Great community here.
 
OK, I feel a bit daft now. How do you end a mission? I came back, did a perfect 3 pointer on the grass and hit "E" thinking it'd turn the engine off - nothing. So after a small taxi tour of northern France I ended the mission from the options drop down and the game froze.

How do you end missions please?

Thanks.
 
More Daftness on the way :d
The perfect 3 pointer was hopefully with an SE5, that's the only one that did in RL
Since you have NO brakes, a good way to kill the engine is

Idle Mixture Cutoff - Cntrl+ Shft+F6

'E' is engine-autostart. Having 'E' also shut off the engine would be way too logical for Microsoft.

If you want to kill the engine and come to a stop you either have to fully lean out the mixture (cntrl-shift-F6) as Gimpy said or kill the magnetos (I think you hit cntrl-M several times, or is it shift-M?, forget).
 
I have the idle/mixture cut off mapped to the "g" key. Since there are no retractable landing gear, the "g" key is not used in OFF. Sometimes I map it to a joystick button. Either way is better than having to hit Ctrl, Shift, F6 when the trees at the end of the field are getting bigger by the second!:eek:

If your duo-core is AMD, google up "amd_dc_opt.exe"
Cured my herky-jerkies.
 
OK cheers all. So I simply hit Ctl+ Shft+F6+ctl+M+shift+M+Esc (which I did - the game froze after) and I'm fine - gotcha.

It was a DH 2 BTW.
 
Hello,

don't forget - while you hit Ctl+ Shft+F6+ctl+M+shift+M+Esc to also hit 6 and 4 on the numeric pad to look left and right, to adjust your mixture (i use ß for lean and ´ for fat), switch on battery, lights, adjust the magnetos via Shift+K, or wait was that something else, maybe and do not forget your joystick, firing, looking around you and adjusting views towards or from your target :icon_lol:

Isn't the factory setting from MS great ? Imagine flying a Boeing 747 with MS's Flight sim. I guess it becomes impossible to "fly" a sim without Track IR and at least three keyboards anymore.
