    COD4 has got me back into online gaming....next step - IL2

    What version do I need to get back up in the sky boys? I've got forgotten battles, the ace expansion and pacific fighters are there any other expansions I need to grab?

    S!

    What you need is:
    PE-2 "Peshka" addon
    Sturmoviks over Manchuria
    IL2 1946

    What name do you use on COD4? and what servers do you play on?

    Knoxxy...

    You need 1946 the disk, and one patch.

    Sorted, ordered off play.com earlier, time to see if I can still remember how to get off the ground and back down in one piece.

    Anyone know where I can get my hands on drivers for a Saitek cyborg 3D gold joystick? Tried on Saiteks website and the page doesn't seem to load

    I've got a catch-all Saitek driver updater - let windows install the stick then run the updater and it'll put the right driver on for you. It'll also find the correct profiling software for you. it's only 1250kb - email?

    dont use ventrilo much anymore

    teamspeak is most popular, though I've not flown for MONTHS!

    There are some really great servers though. Will get list for you.

    Spits_vs_109's is popular, and it's not just those planes.

    War_Clouds_WF is great.

    Zeke_vs_Wildcat is not bad

    Bear in mind Knoxxy, that some of the clever scripted servers have some cunning stuff. Some of them show icons with NAMES for friendlys and just the plane type for enemy, so that's hepful when you're getting back into it.

    Some of them give you only THREE LIVES, and when you die three times, you get kicked from the server for 15 minutes which is very clever.

    And (sadly) Spitfires are still uber machines, and well flown P51's are astonishing and I'm totally crap in them.

    Tempest V is a heavy heard hitter, like the fastest Hurricane Mk2 C ever (Sair swears by it)

    And Yak9's, well flown, are just astonishing, but few servers have them

    Once Knox gets airborne we SERIOUSLY need to get out and do some mischief on a server - 3/4 of us working together can win a map in minutes

    I think you need it installed on an external hard drive and then just copy it over.. dunno why.
    Do you HAVE an external hard drive?

    Do you have access to a PC that it WILL install on?
