    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.

    I have the steam direct download version.

    Do I need Vista to get this sim to work...will latest Windows do?
    Also there are already rumors of first patch-true-false?
    I'm in the US & hoping some( all issues will be addressed by the time we start to get our copies...

    There should be a patch within the next couple of days followed by another within the month.

    I would go right to Windows 7 64 bit as soon as you can.

    I have a new one:

    Q: For multiplayer team play it will be important to be able to match the in game sound with that of the chat client.
    We can turn off the AI Voice and the Music (perversely from the Audio Volume Window), but how can we adjust the overall game audio volume? There is a MasterVolume =14 in conf.ini but editing that makes no difference.

    Thanks

    I did not find a volume control either but I turn the volume up or down on my keyboard media volume axis control whilst in game .
    I gues if Teamspeak or anything else is used the balances will need setting up prior to the game launch.

    Hello
    When I play I get a zoomed in view on the cross hairs, I cannot work out how to get a virtual cockpit view. Can you advise
    I am not sure if this is due to my triple screen setup as I get the same issue in ROF but am at least able to zoom out in that.

    Thanks

    Dogfighting on Quick missions.
    I understand the clicking of the pilots to enable which group to fly in but whenever I choose the side of the allies, all my axis opponents are sporting Italian markings & I can't find a way to edit or change these settings.

    My 2nd question is that of a complete lack of tracers in the spits (in cockpit view). Hurri's have the tracers but none in the spits? Is this a shortcoming of the game or perhaps something I'm missing.

    Thanks.

    Anyone????

    Some missions are fought against the Italians and looks like whaterver plane you chose it will fly for the Italians. Otehr missions are made to fight the Germans.
    Of course you can make simple missions in Full mission builder and you have a much more solid ability to customize the planes and weapons.

    The spitfire loadout is historical. Some squads choose not to use tracers because they let the bad guy know he's being shot at. Last rounds in some guns are loaded with tracers even in the Spit, to let the pilot know he's running dry.

    You can actually change the loadout in the "Plane menu", and load whatever combination of ammo you want.Make sure you give a name to the loadout and save it. That name will apear in your options when you select that plane in missions.

    Here's one custom loadout i did, for the hurri. I changed the white with red tracers in four guns and removed tracers in all the others:
