Didn't get mine from the usual place, think the postal strike must have got it
Also didn't get my Av8r yet either
Looks like Monday for me...
Yeah I've had another batch of stuff held up today because of the strikes......hopefully tomorrow though.
I'll get some pics up of the zip tie mod as it makes all the difference and minor adjustments far smoother.

Good fun online! Don't forget people sign up to happygamers and we can get some games arranged. Also this runs in 1080p too
Does it "actually" render at 1080P on the PS3? im going to have to download the demo and see for myself.
Ive been playing the 360 version, pretty good so far, apart from the smoke slowdown. When im firing rockets at targets in smoke filled scenes it can be tricky to aim when the FPS drops.

Seems to as unless a game is actually 1080p on the PS3 with my TV, it won't switch to anything other than 720p - this shows 1080p. Seems to induce flicker though
Ive tried it now. Its not 1080P, it looks identical to the 360 version(i switched between the two) and its not as crisp as the PS3's dashboard
Cant say im to surprised, most games dont run at that rez on 360/PS3 anyway.

Just as crisp as the PS3 XMB here. Doubled checked again and certainly showing as 1080p

been playing this on the 360 for the last couple of days and loving it. haven't tried anything other than arcade setting yet but i can imagine simulation will be a nightmare!
Got my stick and game now. SHOW ME MODS!
Your telly might be reporting 1080p, but it doesnt mean the game is being rendered at 1080p, it looks scaled to me.
Played through the first few missions in the Hurricane fairly well on realistic, but my god the russian plane(IL16?) ive just been playing is total rubbish. I cant seem to do anything but fly straight and level or go down

need to get a stick for this, my gaming group that im playing this with mostly have sticks and the difference between the pad and stick users is big and obvious although i did just manage to knock 3 of em out the sky and come a humble 3/8 with my measly pad ^^
/sigh another £30

Here's a pic of the zip tie mod. Mines a lot better as I used black ties and made the coils actually touch each other.
What this does is takes the down pressure off the plastic piece which sits in the socket and makes is easier to make small adjustments to the stick...as less force it required to move it.
