Congrats Vonrd! A very pretty medal ... S! Maus

Congratulations to you all, and happy Thanksgiving!

Glad you're safe, Vik!

Many thanks for all your work on this, Vonrd! S! Maus

I'd be grateful for a Halb skin! S! Maus

Weird ... it was just the usual promotional e-mail I get from them when there's an update or sale or something. Maybe you unsubscribed from their mailing list? (It was a bit weird ... the e-mail said 'Please close the launcher and download this zip archive. Extract the .DLL file it contains and replace the old one located in [your IL-2 installation folder]\bin\game folder with it (Windows will ask if you want to overwrite the old file, confirm). After doing this, run the launcher again and it should update the game correctly', but there was no zip file attached. So I went to the forum and searched 'dll', which is how I found that download link.)

The e-mail I got from 1C announcing the update mentioned a .dll file that needs to be replaced before updating the non-Steam version. You can find it, and instructions, here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/52829-game-version-3102-discussion-pzkpfwiv-ausfg-halberstadt-clii-bristol-fighter-f2b/?tab=comments#comment-800023

This looks like the original Red Baron ... I think the game you're thinking of was a different one. I can't remember what it was called, but I do remember playing it, and you could send or receive challenges in the course of your career. I seem to recall a graphic of a glove being thrown down when you were challenged by an enemy ace!

Archibald, certainly not! Welcome back! S! Maus

Yes, Hotlead, that's the same Black Watch! My great-grandfather was responsible for raising its first battalion in Montreal just after war broke out in 1914. Talbot, I believe his medals etc. are in the hands of his grandson, my uncle!

Yeah, a regiment consisting of a bunch of guys in kilts killing everything in their path ... pretty much GoT

This article was posted by the Montreal Gazette the other day, so Gen. Markof may have seen it, but others probably didn't ... this is my great-grandfather! https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/history-through-our-eyes/history-through-our-eyes-april-20-1955-a-long-serving-soldier

Congratulations to all! S! Maus

Yes, very helpful! I've currently got my PTT assigned to a key which is mapped to a joystick button, but I guess this means that if I need another key for something, I can un-map it and enable the game controller button just by itself for PTT. Thanks!

Thanks to Luft's help, here's the picture for modellers to have a laugh!
