Sweet video, Snag. This definitely helps me make more sense of the process.

It's very sad indeed. I didn't know Chunko very well, but flew with and against him for years.

Glad you got it sorted out, Barton!

Wow, the pucker factor here is high.

Very nice print! While not a huge RAF guy, the Hurri is definitely my favorite British fighter. By a long shot.

Poking around on the net, one person says there problem stemmed from EVGA Precision software running in the background. They recommended stopping the cards software and seeing if the game then loaded. Another user said that they had a similar problem, and that it landed up being an audio driver. Not sure if that helps at all.

Do you have Win10's firewall on? And if so, is it possible that it's blocking IL-2?

That's great!

Great shots, Etzel!

Hi @1PL-KJ, Thanks!

Was a ton of fun!

Whoever it is speaking, it made me laugh.

Hi @BaronVonMyakin and @1/SG2_Foxmann - sure! I'll add them. They're both on the Blue Team.

Best quote (I think from @Heinrich at 28.45) - "Why is this server full of barbarians."

Nice video, Hess! It's great to see you guys in action!

Hmm. Interesting... I'd be curious about what people think.

That's great news, @=GenMarkof007=!

Red Team.

I hope you don't mind - I moved this to the public area, away from the IL-2 DCG (Dynamic Campaign Generator) section.

Your inputs should be here: X:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\data\input I duplicate this folder as a backup (renamed input - backup). This way, no matter what happens, I have something to fall back on. That really sucks. I'm not sure what is causing your issues. Let us know how your attempts to fix it go. Perhaps someone else has advice?

Ain't that the truth. For me, I love Cold War stuff specifically because it's more analog, with a smattering of old school computer systems thrown in. It feels "real" to me. So, I'm completely game for anything ED (or their 3rd-party developers) want to produce of that era or before. Plus, I think that since many of these older aircraft are no longer in service, most systems (though not all) are declassified. And thus the overall fidelity of the aircraft can be much more faithfully recreated. I've always felt that ED should concentrate on this type of stuff, giving us more aircraft from the 1960s and 1970s. And this translates over to WW1. I really feel that this in an area where ED can excel. The points you outline above are right on. The aircraft of 1916 to 1918 are relatively simple in the cockpit, they don't have weird moving parts on the external models like swing wings or anything like that (unless you're counting wing warping). There is no raising your gear, so no need for animation there. I think WW1 aircraft would be much faster to produce with extreme accuracy. And for the simmer, I don't see WW1 aircraft as being *easy* or *quaint*. The flight models for many of them, from stall recovery to maneuverability, can be extremely challenging for modern pilots to master. (I'm looking at you Dr.I and Camel). And if you think about it, the arms race of 1914 to 1918 is staggering in terms of pace and technological development. In 1914, they're throwing anchors and flechettes at each other. By 1918, it's fully modern air combat.
