Could we please have a correction to the 79 Squadron RAF. The Prefix for the squadron during the battle of britain is AL not NV

http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/bobno79sqn.cfm

The NV prefix didn't get used until the squadron was deployed to Burma.

I know on the scale of fixes in game this is minuscule but being a founder memeber of the 79 squadron vRAF I thought I would raise it as an item to be fixed.

Many Thanks

...only that you are running XP. Its supposed to be ok but I have seen several posts saying running it under XP is a pig - I don't know why.

I have a second PC of 'minimum spec' with XP and it won't even get as far as the orange symbol. I try to run it, the cursor changes to the timer for a second or two and then - nothing more.

Direct x 10 and direct x 11 won't work on xp!
