Delirium, the trainer is very good in the 38. He did a session on the flying of the 38 a while back and it was filmed. I'll hunt around to see if I can find it.

Edit: found it!

Here is the site that has the text version http://www.fw190.org/P38Clinic.htm

Here is the film of the clinic http://www.fw190.org/p38_6.ahf

and here is the post on the boards about it http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,281921.msg3558853.html#msg3558853

If you can run the game you can run the film viewer, just not at the same time.

I'm not sure what your saying, but you need the the full version of the game installed. To locate the film viewer you can double click the film and when the windows pops up asking what you want to use to open the file, navigate to C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High\ahfilm.exe and select always use this program for these file. Click ok and it should load the viewer....it takes a minute of two depending on your system. Click the play button and you should be good to go.

I did DL it and run it on my machine this morning and it worked ok.

Go to you tube as well and do a P38 search.

Also as you record your own films, look for other P38 sticks that were near you and watch the film from their plane.

Delirum handed my lunch one day so I watched his film several times.  Watch too form the external view and get your zoom so you can watch the flap work. 

There are many good sticks that fly the P38 llke Drano.  Several others that their name doesn't come to me at the moment.  I look forward to encountering each one of them.  I think the only one I have not run intoi think is AckAck.  He also has some impressive stats.

W-W, I'd also be willing to work with you. I worked nights myself for about 15 years, I feel your pain.

I can either spend time with you in the early morning, or in the late night before you go to work, as long as we schedule it out in advance.

In most cases, uninstalling and then reinstalling Aces High should fix the problem.  If you're going to uninstall and reinstall, I recommend saving the settings, skins and sound (if you have a collection of custom sounds) folders before uninstalling.  I would also recommend running a regcleaner after you uninstall.

Reinstalling the game could help if you have just a corrupt file. Going the way Ack-Ack suggest is a second option and maybe a safer one. I didn't read this whole page, but getting this error could be caused by malware and a reg cleaner like Ack-Ack said might be the way to go.

Hmm, I'm kinda embarrassed at my unfamiliarity with the film viewer  :o, but how does one reduce the ambient+engine noise levels in the viewer. I thought it would mirror whatever I set in game, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to.  :pray
