    hi mate - to answer a few questions

    1) game versions and all patches and correct order found here

    http://www.airwarfare.com/guides/patching.htm

    2) check out the unofficial FAQ and manual on this site

    3) here is a good thread that offers advice for new players

    http://forums.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x?q=Y&...9181071422&p=1

    4) If you are wanting someone to check over your system and offer advice on graphics then post a thread in community help forum

    http://forums.ubi.com/eve/ubb.x?a=fr...102&f=49310655

    include your dxdiag so that people can understand your system- info on how to do this in FAQ above or here

    http://www.airwarfare.com/tech/system.htm

    5) dont be afraid to come back and ask if anything still isnt clear but as Bearcat said most info is found on airwarfare.com

    6) to fly online see this guide

    dieg777, mates, guys who have been having too much fun shooting me out the sky!

    All is well PF is an amazing game and all of your help i have downloaded all the pathces up to 4.02 and hyper loby, nex i'll pick up the chat program. but so far so good! the graphics are great not hick ups yet! so the money i would have spent on a new improved fansy shmancy video card i'll either put towards a nice valentines day gift for my wife or new tires for my VFR? choices choices!
    as for flying so far i'm pretty good but i do have to admit it takes a bit of getting use to. you can't go from X plane to PF and not have your head explode! there are no flat spins in X plane, and if there are you have to be doing some thing very stupid to get your plane into a flat spin! in PF you pull up to hard and wahlah! 1000m free fall! but i'll get use to it. so far the most imbarasing moment has been being stuck on a carier because i didn't know how to relase the plane! duuuuhhhh!
    ok guys thanks for every thing, let me fool around a bit and then i'll join one of your groups or maybe make one up?
    i'm leaning towards the Hells Satans (Homers old bike gang) or maybe HarveySax who knows but thanks for every thing guys!
    and if you see me in the not so friendly skies don't laugh too hard!

    ADICTIVE! no! you don't say!
    today was a beautiful day and instead of going for a joy ride i played this game!
    3 hours
    a few dozen lawn darts
    and no kills!
    dooh!
    as for the PC its doing just fine.
    I have a Radeon X300 video card
    1 gig of ram and a P4 chip.
    if any thing more ram would be nice and a better video card would be great but for now all seems fine.
    i can see the trees and all the buildings.
    only disapointment thus far is the water, it seems very bland. aqua blue but no shimmer?
    oh well!

    I think you have the original Il-2 STurmovik, since it was in the bargain bin

    Wrong!! I saw Forgotten Battles in bargain bin at Big Lots here in the states only 6 months after it was released!!! That was so long ago I can't remember when it was. I remember telling my wife that I wished I had waited to buy it since it was half the original price. When was FB released?? Was it 2003 or 2004?? I think PF came out in late 2004 IIRC. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Actually, I'm:

    Correct!

    He found Il-2 Sturmovik in the bargain bin

    He didn't say he found Il2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles there.

    Everyone else a$sumed he meant FB, except for me

    So my suspicion turns out to be correct. It pays to note details </div></BLOCKQUOTE>But the way you worded it it sounded like you figured it was the original IL2 only because he found it in a bargain bin. As if you were implying he could not possibly have found any of the newer versions of the game there, including FB. Thus my response. So I'm back to being right again!!

    You are too funny Chuck, I have been reading your many posts for years and you hate to be wrong so much you will almost always retort when someone corrects you.

    You're a typical New Englander, I know the way you guys are as I lived there for a short stint. I came there from Indiana and everybody in Mass. used to ask me what part of the south I was from. You guys up there need to learn your accents better too!! People from the south instantly recognize my accent as yankee!!!
    If you don't pronounce like this: "I paaked my caa in haavad yaad.", you are viewed as an automatic hick of some sort. Funny, I park my car in Harvard yard!!! The whole region has an air of snobishness about it. Outsiders usually never feel welcome there.

    Get a better graphic card. I prefer an ATI 9800 Pro 128mb. I got mine from newegg.com for $130. I get descent frames running perfect mode. Hate to see you with a great computer but slow video card. Hope to see you in the skies soon!!
