    While seting up views on my controlers i noticed the Alt+F1 combo in there. Then it hit me that it may have something to do with the plane switching.

    Jesters-Ink:
    Q: I've not managed to change skins yet, I see there other skins in the skins Dir, but only the default option is showing in the drop down box, any ideas please? I have RTFM but no clues there.

    A: ???
    Drop your skins in /Documents/1cSoftClub/Il-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover/Skins/ and you'll be able to see them in game.
    Maybe best way to start is to copy and paste all the skins folder from the /Steam/Steam apps/Il-2 Cliffs of Dover to Documents/1cSoftClub/Il-2 Cliffs of Dover. Now all the skins that are already in the game are visible and usable in FMB and plane config menu.
    I still didn't find a way to use skins in QMB tho, but I can select skins in the full mission builder.

    Oh, wow, you repeated my entire post...

    Anyway, I'll add you question to the "unanswered" section, because I'm not quite sure, and I'm not at my gaming computer to check it out now.

    I bought this off steam (UK)
    and when i load the game, it is just a black screen.
    if i go into and out of sleep mode, then i end up at the main menu, however the pilot, and aircraft sections just show a black box in the options menu.
    when i try and load a mission, it returns me to the desktop, with the game still running and the sounds playing.

    I do not have a NVIDIA card/driver and have plenty of RAM.
    Can you help please?

    then SHFT+F1(Loosen Straps in View category)
    and I can fire (Left mouse click)/move with my mouse..
    the up/down movement with my mouse is reversed to what it is in 1946 though and I can't fire and move at the same time.

    Okay so I have been looking into this game for quite a long time and I've had a few questions.

    1. It says in the specs that this game has technology that messes with DVD-RW's and virtual drives. Does this mean the game forces you to install it on the C drive, and if so does buying it through steam solve this?

    2. I want to run this game on an external hard drive. Is there a way to do this and what problems can I expect.

    3.I've played IL-2 games in the past and I can fly an average AI A6M2 out of the sky (using everything except advanced engine maintenance, limited fuel and limited ammo). Will I have trouble with this game or should it be fairly easy to adapt to?

    thanks for the help and see you in the skies
