go for the pro version !
I’m running an Athlon 800 (equivilant to a P3 500 apparently) and its runs like the dogs dangly bits!
Shed loads of downloads available for (last count I had over 214 on my pc!) including Concorde…did you know you can download a Concorde in French Army or Navy colours for combat flight sim 2 and it has guns attached…yes I know I’m sad but hey !…
the realtime weather downloaded form Jeppeson’s web and the realtime ATC make for some very realistic flight. They even show moving car headlights on the major routes at night time !!!
I think you’ll find that the pro version comes with DirectX version 8 included.
Well worth the dosh if you want a serious non shooting flight sim
Steve
I got my Beau from Simviation. They have averything form a Mk1 up to an invasion striped TFX. Very good they are too. check them out mate.
Might do the same thing next weekend
Watch this space
Top hole ol’ boy.
Think I’ll get screechers meself before we start (I’m on the Keo instead of C*rlsb*rg and about to start my second !)
Probably going to start the circus sooner rather than later

Geedee , if your thinking of sticking a big engine in a wee hull there’s a chap in Selkirk selling 4 Rolls-Royce Meteor engines(tank version of the Merlin ) , one is used £800 , three others in crates £3000 each . Keith at JEM Engines in Maddiston in Falkirk builds marine engines too and he also has a Merlin and various other big engines which he run’s up on special occasions
If only I was in the UK !!! hate to think what the postage would be to get it out here ! I’ll just have to wait till I come back around October.
Thanks for all the info guys

Its 19.20GMT wednesday 26th.

Game zone names
And for those who havent yet shot me down…my zone name is :-
Wrecked_Plane (all the zone could come up with !!!). And I’m flying from Cyprus.
What are your handles and where from ?
We did have…in the dim and distant past…a thread on the old forum which also gave a website for a ‘crack’ that enables you to play CFS2 withought having to have the original cd installed.
Dont know if the old threads are availlable.
Steve, if you get the chance have a go before friday to confirm getting on the game zone. The files Nikumba talked about that have to be downloaded are small files to allow access to the game servers.
Oh, and if you have a firewall (pc sort not aeroplane sort !!!), I find it helps if you disable it for games.
If you get stuck give us a shout here. someone will allways help out…cos we’re good like that !
Dont forget its not just Mossie’s…I’ve got cracking Mitchel, a twin Mustang, couple of twin boom Lightnings, Beaufighters, Black Widow’s, Flying Flapjack, Skyrocket (Check the last two out …yes they are WW2 and are both prop driven twins !)
All I gotta do is get some more C*rlsb*rg in before we start and make sure my parachute is packed then it time to Rock ‘n’ Roll !!!
C’mon everyone else join in !!!

I’ll be there, I missed the last couple of engagements.Two engines, WW2, so that’ll be the 262 then!:D Unless of course we limit the ac to stock only.
Anyone want to be my wingman then?
No worries on the 262…WW2 stuff only (no sidewinders I’m afraid !)and its not limited to stock CFS2 so get downloading.
the more the merrier.
and dont worry if its your first time…I’m still a tyro !!
Hey thanks for the info
Nice to hear from the ‘floor’ before seeing it in print in a mag…gives you an ‘insider…privilaged’…sort of feeling.
As it looks like I’m moving back to the UK around October, I’m going to have to make a effort to come up and visit…never been to Duxford yet, though its only just over a 120 miles form home !
Once again thanks
Those magnificent men in their flying machines….dunno who sang it

Heaving on a jet plane…Barron Knights (bloody ell !)
