  1. The roof of the tower of Dover Castle was reinforced to take anti aircraft guns during WW2, it is now over 20ft thick.
  2. +1 Just tried for a quick mission over the south of England in the P47 but got No mission Generated Had to go into the full mission editor to generate the mission
  3. Recently I was looking at maps of my own area in Scotland, one of the biggest differences between the war years and now is the amount of railways, I was quite astounded by the amount of lines and sidings and the branches going off into individual factories. The Beeching cuts in 1960s devastated the rail network in the UK, and to keep it in context Dr Beeching was born in Sheerness in Kent. Ok now onto St Leonards and West Marina depot just west of Hastings. I know we cannot have full details on the map, here is a comparison from the railway pictures from the early 1930's, the aerial pic from 1957, just before the Beeching cuts and what is on the channel map. This was just a quick example.
  4. It's been a tough time, still waiting for the ferry to operate so I can go back home, been stuck here since December so I know how frustrating it can be. I would be delighted to purchase one of your TM Cougar kits off of you email incoming.
  5. When I did my first flight I could not trim out the forces no matter what I did, was almost at full right rudder to keep straight and level. Got really frustrated by it and was ready to throw in the towel, if I can trim the Spit hands off surely I can trim this... nope, tried re mapping the controls for trim as I could not hold the stick and trim at the same time ( using a twisty TM160000M just now) Then I went into the setup usb controller to see what was happening in there and the rudder was not centred and I could not get it to re centre, I had to hold 1/2 to 3/4 right rudder to get the rudder centred, the controller would not auto centre at all. Eventually I downloaded a manual calibration utility for the TM16000M and manually set up my rudder and low and behold it now works fine. That first hour or so was really frustrating and a source of much cursing of the P47 :) but now it flies like a dream and I can trim to hands off no problem.
  6. You are running the Open Beta version of DCS? The map is not available on the stable version of DCS yet.

    I love my Rover err MG, love it so much I had it blown... Went from this To this Rover did experiment with putting a jet/gas turbine engine in one of their cars in the late 40s early 50s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover_JET1

    Was 8 years old when I seen one for the first time, scared the living K**p out of me :D 10 of them starting up and taking off in formation, left a distinct impression on me!

    After a good bit of reading, all the publications I have say the Data Link was not fitted or in UK Armed Forces termology Fitted For but not actually Fitted :) But if it was it should come up on the navigation display, and it may be referenced in one of the as yet still restricted manuals. Also have very little detail on the Redtop missile, some engagement charts but nothing like gimble slew speed or seeker range or even speed (should be somewhere around 3.5M)

    Give over, its a F.53 we want with ground attack ;) I have the pilot's notes and the operating data and handling manual for the F.53 … T.55 P1A P1B F.1 F.1A F.2 F.3 F.6 T.Mk.4 T.Mk.5 :D Plus a few others. :P :pilotfly:

    ee lightning?

    Yes! Hope it's going to be one of the ones with ground attack capability like the F53 or T55 :thumbup: It's how I started weening my grand son on to fast jets... Ian Black's Lightning vol1 from Firestreak Books
  14. In my first lesson in a Cessna 150 the instructor wound in progressively more and more up trim until I was bracing with both hands on the yoke and my back braced hard on the back of the seat to try and keep the aircraft level, yeah a desktop joystick just does not match that force required.
  15. Yes please to this ^ as it will be in the early hours of the morning here in the EU, and this old fart needs his beauty sleep ;)
  16. I've seen the name Reddit mentioned a few places but didn't know that it was the same as Hoggit. So I go to Reddit and look for Hoggit? or is Hoggit a separate thing on the interwebs? Wife forced me into using WhatsApp recently as she and the kids seem to put the family announcements on there and the kids gave me a row when I removed it from my phone. Luddites Unite :D Found it: https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/Hoggit_DCS_World_Wiki Or http://www.hoggit.com/ Now that is confusing! This one is tasty though! https://www.hogit.co.uk/
  17. Been getting those too with Bitdefender, from the last two OB updates of the F14-FlightModel.dll and F14-HeatblurCommon.dll in the latest update as well as ED's world and golbalworld .dll files in the previous update
  18. It had been excluded from the time of the last patch as it too had generated a quarantine event But that does not address why, of late, that the patches are generating an event when before they did not.
  19. And after restoring world.dll it triggers off another warning and quarantine:
  20. And patches that don't trigger the anti virus.
  21. Thanks, that was it. Bitdefender had quietly quarantined it without giving me an alert to it happening. Updated and logged in :thumbup:
  22. Tried applying the hotfix and get an access error cannot move file, the file WorldGeneral.dll which it is trying to move does not seem to be there when I look at the respective directories in _downloads and in BIN I tried again to update see if it would download the file but I get the same error I enclose the two log files for the auto update.
