    just had my first taste of the single player game, haven't downloaded the mods/patches yet; it looks great! Some games you can tell they are going to be good straight away, this is one of those. I have learnt something already, for me anyway: don't get in a tank! :rwb:

    P.S. Prom/Pippa/Yaesu, what do I need to download to be up to spec?

    If u go to the BW ftp and download the latest patch from there, u need the 1.3, that will bring u up to date for bf1942.
    If u wish to play Desert Combat you will need to download the 0.35n patch which is also on BW ftp :)

    Thanks, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'm downloading desertcombat 01.35fullinstall.exe at the moment... still getting to grips with the single player game, though it seems quite easy to get in to. :burnout:

    Hi Mal, i very rarely play on the BW DC server. I usually play on either 'xlbox' (UK server), any of the 'NWO' servers (USA), sometimes 'FL' and '{MCB}'.

    The server i play on will depend which map is currently playing as im very much into heli flying. El Alamein, Gazala and Bocage are my faves as they are fairly large maps and good to fly the heli on. As far as teams go, i play 'Opposition' as they have the Hind assault heli, which i prefer over the Apache, as it handles alot better and can be thrown about far easier. Player class is 'Support' as it allows me to repair the heli if it gets damaged, this being whether i am flying or gunner, also i can heal myself and other team members if required.

    If you want to join us one evening, maybe even tonight, then just let me know and i'll give you the server name or IP, depends on whether i can remember the name or not, it's an age thing :/

    If u get msn messenger and we put each other on our contact lists, might make it easier to communicate when passing IP's around for the game ?
    That way we can see when each other is online.....u get my drift :)

    More often than not i use 'the force', it also helps with my driving to work in the morning. :wink:

    I use keyboard and mouse to fly, much easier than joystick...

    W = throttle up
    S = throttle down
    A = rudder left
    D = rudder right
    Mouse axis Y = pitch up / pitch down
    Mouse axis X = roll left / roll right
    Left mouse button = primary fire
    Right mouse button = alt fire

    Btw Mal, do you have TeamSpeak ?
    If not i highly recommend you download it as it's very important to communicate whilst on the move, especially when spotting for your pilot.

    thx. I don't like the way the throttle doesn't stay on if you let go of the button :(

    bit of confusion with servers there, maybe we should have a core of servers we always go to? It's all still a bit new to me...

    Yep, definitly confusion last night lol. Tbh Mal the only servers we do try to get I (Icould be wrong) is xlbox as it has a very good ping, apart from that we usually try to get the ones that have a fairly decent ping and are playing either Gazala or El Alamein, altho Market Garden & Bocage aren't bad.
    You wont find me and prom on stalingrad or berlin, cant stand those maps.

    It's a funny game, not as exciting as TFC or CS; everthing and everyone seems much more remote, but I get the feeling I could play it all night sometimes. Think I've seen xlbox on the list, I'll try there next time.

    I've found myself getting more hooked on the WWII stuff rather than DC. Love that one where Americans all start on the carrier and the only way off is to fly a plane; I spend most of the time manning an anti-aircraft gun just like in the war films, always wondered how good I'd be at shooting down Japanese Zeros. :)
