  1. Your In-Game Name: -Hawkeye- FIF Discord Name: Hawkeye [if applicable] Squadron affiliation: Yes, please!

  2. So, in terms of which Artillery Guns location is correct, would it be correct to assume there is nothing at all at three of the locations, and guns at one? Otherwise, which location is "correct"?
  3. Question about the Central objective "destroy artillery guns". Is it 2 points for each of the 4 separate guns locations on the map, or just 2 points for getting all 4? Also, if 2 points for all 4, assuming there is no partial credit for less than 4 gun locations destroyed? Another thing, the rules contain some instructions for completing the Recons and the Entente Arty Spot. Are there any other instructions for other objectives, such as Steal Prototype, etc.?

  6. Great post, thanks!
  7. Good find
  8. A bunch of guys in 3PG play WOFF for the single-player immersion experience. If you get on the 3PG Discord there's a channel for it viewable by the public. A lot of discussion going on there all of the time.
  9. @Yogi From the Game Setup and Setings FAQ on the IL2 forum, found here: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/2074-game-setup-and-settings-faq/#faq13 13) Game crashes to desktop all the time, what's wrong?Find the catalog where the game is installed, enter the folder properties and remove the tick from Read Only field.
  10. Can't see 3 wires on the lower connector (just hard to see, maybe). Did you turn a potentiometer into a rheostat?
  11. Worked on a pair of those for Hotlead, and it had the exact same problem. However, he never knew that part because he never used the toe brakes. I did fix the broken connections, but it was difficult because the conductors were some alloy, probably made of or at least containing steel, allowing them to be very fine and yet mechanically strong. Ironically that's their downfall because that mechanical strength causes repeated flexing mainly at the connection, where it snaps off. BTW, those wires are not unjacketed. They have a thin layer of clear insulation on them that must be stripped off to make connections. In any case, that metal resists soldering pretty fiercely and it's difficult or nearly impossible to get a molecular bond between the solder and the conductor. In my case, the wires broke at those white connectors on the circuit board. The wires are crimped in the back of the pins in the plastic housings. Those pins can be carefully removed from the connector. I think I re-opened the one that was originally used, brass I think (not an easy task), then re-crimped the newly stripped wire back on, making a good mechanical and electrical connection. I did hit it with some solder at the connection just to make sure it didn't come loose, since the crimp wasn't as good as the original. After that I reinserted the pins back in the connector, and secured the wires in a way that tried to minimize movement at the connections. It was all a waste of time though, since the REAL problem with his pedals was that it was electronically dead (that little circuit board shown in your picture). I tried to find a replacement by attempting to procure an old set of the same kind of pedals to cannabalize from, but it turned out those pedals were pretty rare and I ended up sending them back to HL as a failed attempt on my part. At some point he got a set of MFG Crosswinds. I've used them for years without any trouble. Once you see the construction of those expensive brands, the quality is obvious. Do yourself a favor and upgrade. COVID-19 relief stimulus payment is on it's way to you
  12. Remember he said that, LOL!
  13. Cool to see a chat macro ability, although more than 2 canned message choices would be nice. Always missed the feature from RB3D.
  14. What a pleasant surprise and exciting narrative. Nice work! S!
  15. I don't get it, if you go to the extreme of either end, i.e. fully black or fully white, the chart indicates that you'll have no gloss and no reflectivity either way. Can that be true?
