Crikey, Don, it seems like a long time since you first intro'd yourself! I have the Warthog HOTAS, plus Saitek Combat pedals. I also invested in a CH Quadrant which has proven very handy.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance. :)

Finally. Time to go back and try CLOD again.
Now, I would be interested in some Warthog files, as I have one too.
Also, could someone point me a maddox.dll for english version, please? I have the russian version (yep, early adopter here).
Thanks

Thanks Uther, that fixed it. Cheers.

Will do, thanks very much! It was a very busy summer for me, now that fall is here and winter approaching I will have much more time available. Now that the final is released I am ready to get going with this again! I did all that work ealier on creating a profile for my Cougar, now gotta do it again with the Warthog lol.

I had a scary start, launched the sim and got the launcher error - went in and did the verify integrity thing, then it updated and I think all is well now.

Does it work on win 8?

Wow, this is looking pretty dang good. I did not do any of the beta patches so going straight from the last official patch to this one. Very nice improvement!

Should I uninstall everything if I have the release candidate installed?

No.

First up go into your My documents/1C cache folder and delete the files you see in there. Then go to the cache/Shaders folder and delete the files in there.
(Note both the folders must exist so just delete the files in theses folders NOT the folders themselves)

Then crank up steam and "verify local cache integrity" it will do everything for you.

big FPS improvements!!!!
