I have been playing this game for 25 years, I have a dedicated computer to play, 3 generations of my family have spent hours on end to see who got the best score, p51 my fave plane, dropping 15 degrees of flap, nothing can out turn this plane, p47 is my second choice, going head to head with 3 he111 lots of fun,I'm thrilled to see someone else playing this, which I do daily.
omg, I do not think anyone can come close to you. Yes I like the p47 too as a really nice handling machine. I will try that 15 degree flap on the p51, thanks for the tip!
Unlimited ammo on, quick play against 20 DC-17s, hold the rocket button on flight stick. Destroy everything. Good times
I've never understood the whole retro gaming thing. I played these back in the 90's, and dreamed of the day that they would make a realistic looking flight sims. I dont understand why anyone would want to go back to this. But, to each his own. Have fun!

Also look at "view left/pan left" in the joystick assignments, this should be assigned to button 39 which is the left direction on the hatswitch. Are you able to assign other actions to the joystick? Are you doing this in CFS settings? I am able to assign hatswitch buttons from the settings in cfs. Are you makeing these changes in the assignments in cfs settings to modify the joystick assignments? If you double click the joystick column (while in assigments from cfs settings) or press the "assign" button while on the "view left/pan left" line, you will ne able to reassign button 39 which is the left position on the hatswitch - not sure why you want to reassign the hatswitch positions but you can if you want to - I prefer to leave the hatwitch settings as they are but its up to you really. I can change these as just described, click the joystick column on the line in question e.g. "start engine", then press the "assign" button, then move the hatswitch to the desired direction and it will set it, you will get a warning that its already in use but you just OK that to force save the new assignment.
What joystickle?
