DCG Campaign: Stalingrad 1942 - Page 22

Yeah, but pings skyrocket on Hunter's server rather quickly

Anyway, I'm sure it's not such a big problem

Fincuan · 08-04-08, 10:20 AM

The Finnish Postal service at it again

My "Saitek pedals", or more precisely a parcel with that number, just arrived at the local office and I of course went to fetch them immediately. At home I opened the package and WTF?!, A SCANNER!

Against all odds the company I bough them from, Pixmania, had apparently done everything correctly, while the ****ers at Finland mixed up the numbers. Luckily the original recipient's phone number and address were still visible, so I just called him and he'll fetch his parcel and we'll see if the pedals are there. The scanner is his, so with any luck he should have my order.

Raptor1 · 08-04-08, 10:25 AM

Ouch

Well, you can always just play with the scanner instead...

Oberon · 08-04-08, 02:17 PM

My bird will be staying in the hangar tonight lads, better get an early night to catch up on the late nights

So tell the Belgians they're gonna have to work for their kills tonight!

Aww, that means I'll have to die instead

Who needs sleep anyway?

What a beautiful morning to die (err fly) 05.05 AM and Goering sent Fincuan and myself to escort the bombers.

couple of good sorties tonight

Raptor1 · 08-04-08, 06:28 PM

Ja, first we knocked out a bridge (Well, I knocked out a bridge since Hunter just HAD to point his bombsight to look at that nice Belgian lady doing the laundry in the yard), then we went on a suicide attack against a massive formation of RAF Hurricanes after Belgium surrendered

Fincuan · 08-04-08, 11:04 PM

Yes good sorties yesterady

First sortie you did a good job with the bridge, while us fighters even managed to protect you this time. The second one was probably the hardest so far given the amount of Hurris. Immediately at the merge I think I got one that was turning onto Hunter's tail but did it right in front of me. He just flew right into my sights and I gave him a good burst. I saw strikes and pieces flying but didn't follow him down. Then I was tailed by two or more Hurris and lost sight of you guys. At least it was on our soil! 109 barbeque ftw

onelifecrisis · 08-05-08, 01:05 AM

So is there room in this squadron for a rookie? Forgive my total n00bness but can DCG add an extra player mid-campaign?

Also, what time of day do you guys usually play at?

BTW, when I say "rookie" I mean like... in my offline campaign, I think I killed more wingmen (by crashing into them) than enemies, so far. You have been warned.

DCG doesn't have a problem with players joining in the middle... (Look at the original post for the time)

Oh, and we destroyed more of our own planes then the enemy, so YOU should be warned as well

onelifecrisis · 08-05-08, 01:35 AM

Thanks for the answer (and the warning lol)

I have 1946 patched to 4.09b1m - will there be any compatibility issues?

You need 1946 patched to 4.08m

Er... that might be tricky... I didn't backup 4.08. 4.08 stutters on my machine in perfect mode, but 4.09 fixes it (by increasing some buffer or other). Not a request, just a question: why don't you use 4.09? Are there problems (bugs) in it?

Also, I've never played IL2 online... are the realism options set server-side? If so, what are they set to in your campaign?

I've seen a 4.08m/4.09b1m switcher floating around at least in the Ubi forums(and possible Mission4Today). That should do the trick. From the *cough*mods*cough* site you can get a switcher that allows you to switch between 4.08m modded/unmodded and 4.09b1m modded/unmodded. Realism settings are server side so don't worry about them. Hunter will have to answer why we aren't using 4.09b1m. I'm using the graphics .dlls from it(actually never ones, from March 2008), and they work great with 4.08.

I've seen the switcher too, but I assume you have to install it before installing 4.09. Maybe I'm wrong, I'll find it again...

I'm curious to see what Hunter has to say. :hmm:

P.S. Sorry, the coughing went over my head!

P.P.S. But what are they set to? Please don't tell me I have to ******* around with engine management...
