o7 these babies are new tech compared to my MSFFB2 flightstick! Regards, von Freden

More like breaking pot up!! So my CH Pro Pedals have been acting up for a while. I thought it was IL-2 but it was the pedals themselves as they are getting long in the tooth, and getting old. I ordered 9 new pots as I had read that they aren’t made anymore for future repairs, and replaced the 3 pots in it. Only to find out the control arm in the pedals are longer than the ones I just ordered. So I had it disassemble the dang things and use just the control arm portion of the old pots and pair them up with the positional circuit board, and housing portion of the new one so they’d fit, and work! All to save a couple hundred bucks. Thank god they worked after reassembly. My day could have been a lot worse!

Oh that sounds interesting. I might check that out. It’s really weird. I ended up using a diffrent set of rudder pedals that I didn’t like as much and they worked fine. Got annoyed with them, when T back to my CH’s and the brake just started working fine. I had to do some weird procedure where I half pressed them in when mapping them. Either way im all set up now. I appreciate the help @Wittmann @Vonrd o7 Regards, von Freden

This is so fricken cool! The Daytona Airshow is defiantly on my bucket list! Great job landing in the sim @Vonrd! I’m very jealous. Looks like it was a blast!

I just ran into this problem tonight, trying to set up key bindings for WWII planes. I’m not quite sure what you did as a solution. Can you confirm you just assigned a keyboard key to your left and right brake then set then tried the actual pedals again and it worked?

Not sure why this second message sent. Please disregard.

o7 Essentially if you’re running a 30xx-50xx Nvidia graphics card. Their driver doesn’t enable resizable BAR even if you have it enabled in your systems BIOS. (Resizable BAR (Base Address Register) is a feature that allows the CPU to access the entire graphics card memory at once, potentially improving game performance by increasing frame rates. It is supported by NVIDIA's RTX 30 and 40 series graphics cards, but its effectiveness can vary by game and system configuration) In short, Step 1 - download the tool Nvidia Profile Inspector from github. ( https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases ) Open it, scroll down to section 5 and to the entry called rBAR - Enable click on it, and switch it from Disable to Enable. Step 2 - 2 settings down an entry called rBAR-Options, click on it, change it from 0x00000000 to 0x00000001 Step 3 - 1 setting down called rBAR Size Limit, click on it, and set it to 0x0000000400000000 After you’ve made these changes, look at the top right of the program and you should see a green apply changes button. Click on that to apply changes, give your system a reboot, and viola, you should get a substantial increase to your systems GPU performance. If you want to know how much, do a 3D Mark run before making changes, then do a test again after your changes and you should see a substantial increase in your score. This isn’t an over lock or anything so there isn’t any risk in applying these changes. It’s essentially just turns on an option called resizable BAR you most likely already have turned on in your BIOS ( if you don’t, and have a 30xx-50xx series Nvidia graphics card, you should go to your BIOS and make sure its turned on there too) Hope this helps! o7 Regards, von Freden

o7 Morning ladies and gents, I came across this video today which detailed how a bug in Nvidia’s drivers are nerfing Intel+Nvidia systems a substantial amount. If you’re interested into squeezing a little more out of your Intel+Nvidia rigs. I’ll leave the video here. I hope it helps someone out! Edit : Reading in the comments, it looks as if people running AMD CPU’s are suffering from the same problem and getting substantial boosts after the fix as well! o7 Regards, von Freden

@Gabihelped me with how to import custom skins into IL-2 after last nights practice. I now have all her skins. Is there a depository of the rest of JG1?

I ended up running into @Kliegmann in a voice channel. He was super helpful, and even took time out of his training to explain the rank structure here. He showed me the ropes, and helped me with a bunch of technical questions ans well ans explained the event. He defiantly deserves a Bravo Zulu. He was super helpful. Got a chance to meet @Moxy and @Vonrd and a few of the other guys as well. I had a really fun time. The amount of effort put into making this event so detailed, and dynamic is incredible. I’m really looking forward to Saturday. I’ve committed to practice with them tomorrow night as well. Just wanted to say thanks again for all the help guys! o7

Thanks sir, o7

Sorry for the noob questions, but I just wanna make sure I’m ready for tonight’s practice. Is there a spot you usually meet? For briefings and such? I’m a complete noob to all this and have never joined a multiplayer server on IL-2.
