It has been several years since the heyday of Hyperlobby and Jiri announced recently that he will be closing the Hyberlobby forums. The game server has already been disabled. The last time Jiri updated the Hyperlobby program was four years ago, v4.3.7, and I never got the impression that the update was enough to get Players back into using it. --------------------- For those that still remember their login credentials and want to pass on their thanks or memories to Jiri using Hyperlobby before the final shut down of the site Phantom17 has started a thread at Hyperlobby that fits the bill. Thanks for 25 years: https://hyperfighter.sk/ftopict-10530.html If you still have the same email address or access to it as the one you used when you registered at the Hyperlobby forums and do not remember your password here is the link to the lost password page.

I can tell from your screenshot that is the incorrect game. Those are the IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles executable files. The DCG program is for IL-2 1946. Wheels

After flying WW2 birds those WW1 kites are so blamed slow. Most of them are quite fragile too if you dive too fast. Plus my gunnery is bad enough in the WW2 birds but in those WW1 kites I can't even hit the ground consistently. Wheels

It's not a spam site, yet, but the AAS link takes you to an Indonesian gamer site now. Wheels

Glad to read that your foray into antique component repair was successful @Hans von Freden. Wheels

The Long Walk @IMDb This is a movie adaptation of a Stephen King novel written under his pseudonym, Richard Bachman. Considering they talked Mark Hamill into playing the Major I will likely go see it in the theater even though I do not believe it will live up to the book itself. The Long Walk (novel) Code:: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Walk_(novel) wikipedia wrote: Set in an alternative, dystopian version of the United States, the plot revolves around the Long Walk, an annual contest in which 100 young men walk continuously along a pre-arranged route. Walkers must keep a minimum pace of 4 miles per hour (6.4 km/h), and are issued verbal warnings by soldiers monitoring their progress if they fall below this speed for 30 seconds. A walker can lose one warning if he walks for an hour without earning another. If a walker takes three warnings and falls below the minimum speed for 30 seconds, he is shot and killed by the soldiers. The Walk continues until there is only one survivor, who can have whatever he wants for the rest of his life as his prize. I literally read the book decades ago but the instant I saw the premise of the movie it all came rushing back to me. Wheels

I was watching The Born Losers last night on Prime and I noticed a familiar face that I was not expecting. The tough cop in The Born Losers (1967) was the same actor, Jack Starrett, that played the tough cop 15 years later in the Stallone movie First Blood (1982). I suspect Stallone knew this when he was cast in his movie. Wheels

These are quite old and may or may not work with the current version of DCG? DCG Campaigns @ M4T: https://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&c=583 Wheels

FUBAR Season 2 dropped on Netflix on June 12. I am hoping that I enjoy it as much as I did FUBAR season 1. Wheels

Great Battles Track Playback glitch. I am in the Spitfire in the foreground with the skin marked HO W. Lol, I have no clue who is in the Spitfire the game is showing as 352nd_Wheels. Wheels

Lately I have been watching According to Jim. Jim Belushi is funny but Courtney Thorne-Smith and Kimberly Williams (Paisley) make the show eminently watchable. Wheels

The situation seems to have gotten worse for All Aircraft Simulations. It is not just timing out for me but the site is not able to be found at all now. Unfortunately I never did find out the contact information for who was going to keep the site online after Deutschmark passed. With the site not being found now it leads me to believe that since a little over a year has passed since Deutschmark left us that they have moved on too. Wheels

That actually is a cool idea. Wheels

After the 352nd VFG full group session Friday, April 04, 2025, Bender, Mars, Sighter, & myself moved over to Benders dogfight server and flew a few races. In the last race of the evening for the four of us Sighter had an epic crash right in front of me that I was able to capture in almost all of its glory. I uploaded a full speed version with sound and a second one in Slo-Mo, quarter speed, with the sound muted.

I am really quite surprised that there has not been an update from the developers that fixed this problem. Wheels

Before Paul passed away there was every intention of flying it at least once with the Jumo engines. Wheels

Found Mannix on Pluto TV. Pluto TV only has the first two of the eight seasons. Mannix: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061277/ This is another Desilu production so several of the guest stars will be familiar.

Our smartphones of today probably have as much computing power as that entire room. Wheels

What a shame. Have you built anything else since the accident? Wheels
