I'm sorry to those of you who perceived my comments (in the now deleted thread) as being negative toward Ecodragon or your squad.  My comments were certainly not intended to belittle or degrade anyone in your squad, but were meant as a constructive discussion of Eco's comments (both on Comms and on this board) regarding the overmodeling of certain planes in the sim.

As someone who's not familiar with your squad (other than Shadow, whom I've known well for many, many years) or the persons within it, you'll have to understand that my perceptions are based solely on what I've witnessed thus far.  As well, having been involved with many sims as they matured, my perspective is somewhat jaded and may come across as being a bit harsh.  It was certainly not intended as disdain for anyone in here.

Anyway, I started playing IL2 because Shadow and I wished to be able to fly the virtual skies together.  We've been close friends for many years (in fact, we lived across the street from one another for more than half the time I've known him) and he can attest to my years of passion for WW2 aerial combat. If, in sharing my experience with you folks, you feel as though I did so disrespectfully, I apologize and wish you to understand that simple text on a web page does very little to convey the sentiment with which certain thought are offered.  If, as a result of this, you would prefer that I didn't join your comms or flying on the servers, just let me know and I'll make alternate arrangements with Shadow.

My understanding is yes.  I have the 9700 pro and ran it in Direct X until the most recent driver upgrade, as there was performance hit with openGLWJiggyVFMA-333 Tres Equis=XXX=Anytime, Baby!

The 9700 pro has dual output.  The "secondary" reference you notice is for the second monitor output.  You should disable this, ATI has published that unless you disable the secondary monitor output, you will have trouble running games in openGL (at least prior to the latest driver release, which was on 6/23/03 -- get the new drivers if you don't have them already).To disable the second monitor, go to your device setting in the system control panel and locate the seconday monitor entry.  Right click on it and select "properties" and then choose "disable in this hardware profile".  After rebooting, you should be all set.WJiggyVFMA-333 Tres Equis=XXX=Anytime, Baby!

I just wanted to note that I snagged an extra 512mb for the server machine and installed it this evening.  The server is back up and has been running well.  Now that it seems quite stable, I'll install FB Daemon and begin running map rotations.If anyone has any questions, comments, advice, complaints, free beer, etc., let me know.  I've included my email in my registration.iggyVFMA-333 Tres Equis=XXX=Anytime, Baby!
