Never heard of hampster either. You can download the trial version of winrar and just use that, it never expires.

7zip is free and open source.

324*Mo (339.829.787 octets) correct size.

somebody needs to make a clear "beta patch install instructions" post and tag it to the start of this thread (or add a url link in B6's original post to tell them where to find the install info)

i suspect 2/3 who download the patch dont bother reading 15 thread pages to find obscure info on how to reset their CoD to a clean install via the steam file checker, and then delete cache files and know how to install the patch files correctly in the right folders (and for ati users reminding them again having to delete the logo video file to try and prevent the startup gfx card clock-down etc...)

can anyone help me ?

It's called a checksum, and it's a tool for ensuring that your download has not been corrupted. You can download programs to calculate md5 sums of any file on your computer, so the idea is that you download the file, calculate the MD5 sum, and then make sure it matches the MD5 sum on the server. If they don't match, your file is different from the one on the server.

You don't have to download it.

The more i play this the more i see they have widened the gap between raf and lw planes. 109's just pull away now in climb dive and level flight. feels like most of my gameplay is avoiding 109's instead of fighting them like before

You should do some speed tests and look at the data to be sure. Feelings don't always line up with what's really happening.

i cant get anything faster than 270 IAS out of any raf planes at level flight at low level. i dont know what TAS this is, but is it historically correct?

has anyone got any faster than this?

IAS varies with altitude, so saying "270 IAS" is meaningless unless you also specify what altitude that speed was at.

"Low level" means something different to every person.
