All official modules from the ED site are just baked into the game. You'll need to activate them through the main window. OVGME and other mod managers are just for things like the A-4 community aircraft and other unofficial modifications to the game. Meanwhile, things like SimpleRadio Standalone (SRS), Tacview, and LotATC just run in the background.

I'm so glad that you have a Member In Perpetuity rank. That's a really nice way of pay respect to those that have passed.

Hi @wheelsup_cavu, I'm really sorry to hear about Deutschmark's passing. Even though I haven't been in the IL-2 1946 game for a very long time, its hard to see our greater community shrink one year at a time.

I agree. I highly recommend OVGME or JSGME to handle mods.

Looks great Von!

@Snaggle - they do exist! https://www.ebay.com/itm/186386426861

This is really coming together nicely! I'm amazed at the detail they've added to the build. I almost wish it had a Lego coconut.

Hey Rath, it's great to hear from you! It's hilarious that you're posting almost 10 years exactly from when you last stopped by. And that that was 10 years after your time in JG1 (circa 2004). If you're interested, here is our Discord server: https://discord.gg/SM6Uk5XuJ2 We're definitely still active. Though grayer. All of my time is in DCS now, but there are plenty of guys in the group who still fly IL-2 Great Battles and Flying Circus. If you're around in the North American evenings, around 9PM EDT, you're more than welcome to join us. If you get the chance, you should definitely talk to @Flyboy. He wasn't around in 2014. But he's former USAF, flying T-38s, currently a commercial pilot. I'm sure you guys would have a lot of stories to swap. In DCS, what are you currently flying?

This looks like it could be a great series. I'm curious to see if they've found any more photographs.

Words to (literally) live by!

This would be great!

This highly amused me.

Absolutely wild. I had no idea it was broken. I wonder how long its been this way? The refreshing definitely works to switch to page 2, 3, 4, etc. But what a PITA. Funny enough, it's even broken on the Invision Community boards: https://invisioncommunity.com/pastleaders/ Hopefully, they'll fix this soon.

Oculus updated too.

That's amazing. I had to search for it to find the context: https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205369842

That's looking really good. How many hours would you say you've put in so far?

Glad to help. Btw: it was posted: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3339567/

Looks great, Von! Fixed the images for you. When you upload the images to a post, thumbnails will appear at the bottom in a tool bar. In that tool bar, you should see an "Insert" button for each image. Just Insert the images where you want them in the post. If they're in the wrong order, just reinsert at a different location. As long as the images are still in the tool bar at the bottom, you're still working with them.

They do make watertight lego hulls: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/16v3a17/watertight_lego_boat_hulls/?rdt=40602 Just in case people are looking for some.

Let me know when you update it and I'll redownload.

Looks great, Von! Just let me know when the link drops.

It's looking good so far. More boat-like than before.

I'm glad that you found it. For anyone else looking, here is JG1's Discord: https://discord.gg/SM6Uk5XuJ2 We're flying DCS Cold War tonight. Focusing on the MiG-21 versus the F-4E. But all are welcome regardless of aircraft preference.

Yeah, feel free to join us on Discord whenever you are looking to hang out.
