Thanks Klai but sadly, I've already done all of those... looks like I'll have to live with it until ED comes up with a fix.

Nope... still getting crash on 2nd mission.

Hmm... yeah, I was modifying missions in the ME to add targets and the second "Fly Mission" would crash. I'll check it with plain vanilla instant missions.

Is anyone else here experiencing this like I am? If so, have you fixed it and how did you fix? I've tried a few of the recommended items but it's still happening. Here's the thread: 2.7.0.4625 Open Beta crash at second mission load https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/267836-2704625-open-beta-crash-at-second-mission-load/

"Glutton for punishment" is not descriptive enough Looks great so far... impressive.

Another one from Playing for Change: Jock-a mo fee na-né

'K... pre-ordered. I also got the KA-50 after seeing Trev fly it. Sooo much easier to control than the Huey but I got's to keep flying the Huey to keep up my skills.

And I get anxiety going into the crawlspace under my house... EEW... THERE'S A SPIDER ON ME!... GET IT OFF!... GET IT OFF! The angle of the photo don't happen to show the enormous size of his balls.

Even though it's greyed out in the controls menu ("Sysreq" is default... same as "PrintScreen" for Windoze) and it won't allow you to set anything else "PrintScreen" still takes screenshots and they're located in "Saved Games/Screenshots"... for me at least... just confirmed.

I've installed them and will be checking them out. This is what Tacview says: https://www.tacview.net/documentation/3dobjects/en/ I might try messing around with some in Blender

I wonder how he made them. It would be cool to make some"fun" models... how about a flying Tige?

I didn't know that this was even possible: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/71401-additional-models-for-tacview-for-ww1-aircraft/ I haven't downloaded or installed yet.

Radial... yes. Rotary... no. Wikipedia: In the years leading up to World War II, as the need for armored vehicles was realized, designers were faced with the problem of how to power the vehicles, and turned to using aircraft engines, among them radial types. The radial aircraft engines provided greater power-to-weight ratios and were more reliable than conventional inline vehicle engines available at the time. This reliance had a downside though: if the engines were mounted vertically, as in the M3 Lee and M4 Sherman, their comparatively large diameter gave the tank a higher silhouette than designs using inline engines.[citation needed] The Continental R-670, a 7-cylinder radial aero engine which first flew in 1931, became a widely used tank powerplant, being installed in the M1 Combat Car, M2 Light Tank, M3 Stuart, M3 Lee, and LVT-2 Water Buffalo.[citation needed] The Guiberson T-1020, a 9-cylinder radial diesel aero engine, was used in the M1A1E1, while the Continental R975 saw service in the M4 Sherman, M7 Priest, M18 Hellcat tank destroyer, and the M44 self propelled howitzer.[citation needed]

Rotaries aren't just for planes...

From what I know about them (which is just a bit of mechanic research... and who knows if what I read in other areas was true) it seems pretty spot on and plausible. I never really believed the whole schmear about the high degree affects of gyroscopic force. Due to how close the cylinders are to the center of rotation it shouldn't be really that much. Though watching some ground runs on a Camel while blipping the engine did make the whole plane move... but that's sudden acceleration / deceleration. Still, the large 4 blade prop on some SE5s should make probably the same gyro force as the smaller rotaries I would think. And what about a turbine like a PT6 spinning the same relative mass with just slightly smaller diameter at more than 10,000 rpm. We never feel any gyro force from them. P factor and a bit of torque from the prop... yes, but nothing that I would describe as really noticeable gyroscopic precession.

Yes and Yes. Basically button boxes and plug / play. I just slide a piece of paper into the middle and write what the buttons do..."bomb bay" , "Boost", etc. I did make a photoshop with text boxes to print up for individual games but I've been too lazy recently to fill it in and print. Maybe in the future.

Wow... I thought it was just the lua files for the V1 buzz bomb on the channel map. Looks like it's for all weapons systems?

BTW, I just jumped into JG1 Discord and noted the following: Richtofen last post 6/9/20 Oesau last post 11/24/20 Schmenkel last post 4/6/20 General pilot lounge las post 4/18/21. This seems to be the catch-all section but is a mish mash of topics. It seems that our dedicated squadron sections are not really being put to use. Maybe Discord should be where a dedicated PUG is?

This seems like a good idea to me.

My main reason for asking about a sub forum was to have it readily visible for when you want to post. I had forgotten where the PUG was located... was pretty sure it was in "Public" but I didn't see it since it was way down in the list due to other / newer posts being above it. A search for PUG didn't work because of too few letters. I found it by looking at Etzel's profile and content since I remembered that he had recently posted and is probably the one who makes use of the PUG most. In retrospect, I probably could have searched for "Pick" or the whole name. But, a subforum would negate that issue. Etzel also makes good points above and I agree with him that it's not a really high priority. As for Discord... the main problem is that stuff gets buried as more recent posts come in. Secondly, there are still people that either don't like Discord or don't bother opening it up without good reason (TIF ATO's etc.). All that being said... not a high priority and I won't throw a tantrum if it's decided to be not needed.

Could we make the PUG a subforum?

I'm planning on joining up with J30 on Flugpark tonight to try and put the hurt on the 103rd PG.

Check again... there's a hotfix out just now

Check the YT reviews... they look great and are basically plug and play.

I've had the MFDs for several years and I've been considering getting the CubeSim monitors to make it truely realistic. http://www.cubesim.com.cn/pr.jsp?_pp=0_647_3
