Lol, I feel your pain. I wish there were dump files available for everything and not just the planes so individual quirks like these could be easily worked around. Wheels

Lol, great video but I am not sure how brilliant it is to shoot flares into what looks to be a fairly dry field. Wheels

Glad to be back. I dropped in a few times this past year and I couldn't remember my P/W and I couldn't get the recovery system to work. My browser/s did not like the captcha test. PaleMoon which is my primary browser absolutely refuses to load the captcha image. It took 3 browsers and 30 minutes to get one to work yesterday but my persistence finally paid off. Wheels

I figured DCG only generated part of the code but I didn't realize it generated so little. Unless/Until Paul decides it is worth his time to add it to DCG you would need to alter the .mis file for each mission if you wanted the friction function to work. Sorry I can't be more help than that. Does DCG generate the extra "BornPlace" and "BornPlaceCountries" sections Ex: [BornPlace] 1 3000 36249 368061 1 1000 200 0 0 0 5000 50 0 1 1 0 1 1.5 0 0 0 0 0 (BornPlace0 - BornPlaceCountries0) 1 3000 27214 371933 1 1000 200 0 0 0 5000 50 0 1 1 0 1 1.5 0 0 0 0 0 (BornPlace1 - BornPlaceCountries1) 1 500 377300 114000 1 1000 200 0 0 165 6500 50 0 1 1 0 1 1.5 0 1 0 0 0 (BornPlace2 - BornPlaceCountries2) [BornPlace0] P-40M B-25C-25NA 0 (No B-25's available at this HomeBase. One can be "transferred from another HomeBase. There are no weapons loadout restrictions on any B-25 that is "transferred" to this HomeBase.) [BornPlaceCountries0] us nn [BornPlace1] B-25C-25NA 0 [BornPlaceCountries1] us nn [BornPlace2] B-25C-25NA 25 4x500lbs (25 aircraft restricted to 4x500lb loadout - There is a 255 character line limit that can cause problems with aircraft having several weapons loadouts) [BornPlaceCountries2] us nn I suspect it does not because those Born place sections limit what is available at those HomeBases. This includes the aircraft type, aircraft inventory, their weapons, and Countries. Wheels

Enjoyed the video. As with everyone video I was trying to change the view though. Wheels

You should have it in your game but the "MDS Guide" cover the new HomeBase features. IL-2 1946 Patch 4.10 Documentation: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=3996 Using the .mis file you should be able to enable friction. I am not sure how much of the code DCG generates but here is the explanation of the [bornPlace] code through v4.12.2m. I don't think it has been changed since that version. [bornPlace] 16 1250 8109 4265 1 555 250 90 0 75 3300 40 0 0 0 0 0 3.8 0 0 0 0 0 16 - HomeBase Color - (Properties Tab) 0 None 1 Red 2 Blue 3 Greeen 4 Gold 5 Purple 6 Aqua 7 Maroon 8 Navy 9 Emerald 10 Olive 11 Magenta 12 Teal 13 Orange 14 Turquoise 15 Brown 16 Salad 1250 - HomeBase Radius - (Properties Tab) (Sizes 500m to 9950m by 50m increments) 8109 - X Map Location 4265 - Y Map Location 1 - Parachutes - (Properties Tab) 0 - Disabled (Player is unable to use a parachute when spawning at this HomeBase) 1 - Enabled (Player is able to use a parachute when spawning at this HomeBase) 555 - Spawn Height (Meters) - (AirSpawn Tab) 250 - Aircraft Spawn Speed (KMH)) - (AirSpawn Tab) 90 - Aircraft Spawn Orient (Degrees/Heading, 0 - 359) - (AirSpawn Tab) 0 - Max Allowed Pilots - (Properties Tab) 0 - Limited to hard coded spawn points at that location 1 - Limited to less hard coded spawn points than are at that location I have not been able to allow more Players than the number of hard coded locations within the HomeBase circle. Even using Stationary aircraft as Spawn points has not overrode this limitation. 75 - FoW Min Height (Meters) - (Base FoW Tab) (0-10000 meters) 3300 - FoW Max Height (Meters) - (Base FoW Tab) (0-10000 meters) 40 - FoW Max Range (Kilometers) - (Base FoW Tab) Radar “Object 76†must be placed within the confines of the HomeBase circle for Fog Of war (FoW) to function. 0 - Always AirSpawn - (AirSpawn Tab) 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled (Player will always AirSpawn) Used in conjunction with Spawn Height (Meters), Spawn Speed (KMH), & Aircraft Spawn Orient 0 - Enable Aircraft Limitations - (Properties Tab-Aircraft Limitations section) 0 - Disabled (No aircraft limitations) 1 - Enabled (This enables aircraft and weapons limitations) 0 - HomeBase loses planes as they get destroyed - (Properties Tab-Aircraft Limitations section) 0 - Disabled (No aircraft limitations) 1 - Enabled ("Enable Aircraft Limitations" must be enabled for this to work.) 0 - Disable Spawning on this HomeBase - (Properties Tab) 0 - Spawning allowed at this HomeBase 1 - Spawning not allowed at this HomeBase 0 - Enable Friction for this HomeBase - (FMB Properties Tab) 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled 3.8 - Friction Value - (FMB Properties Tab) "Enable Friction for this HomeBase" must be enabled for this to work. (0 to 3.8) 3.8 is the map default value for all textures. 0 - Static planes also affect this function - (Properties Tab-Aircraft Limitations section) 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled ("HomeBase loses planes as they get destroyed" must be enabled for this to work.) 0 - Render HomeBase icon at Default Position - (Properties Tab) 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled This option allows you to hide the movement of those HomeBases that are placed on the carriers. If Disabled when the Player joins the game or selects refly the HomeBase will move to the carriers current location on the map. If Enabled the HomeBase location for the carrier will always remain at Waypoint 0. 0 - Air spawn if carrier deck is full - (AirSpawn tab) 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled When Disabled the Player will have to wait at the loading screen until the Carrier deck is clear When Enabled the Player will spawn in the air using the Aircraft Spawn Height , Aircraft Spawn Speed & Aircraft Spawn Orient parameters. 0 - Use Stationary Planes as Spawn Points - (Properties Tab) 0 - Disabled (Does not use Stationary Planes as Spawn Points) 1 - Enabled (Uses Stationary Planes as Spawn Points) The AI, Player Flyable, & BornPlace aircraft names do not always match. For this reason some Stationary aircraft will not allow the Player to spawn into it since the game is looking for a different name. 0 - Return used stationary plane to original position - (FMB Properties Tab) 0 - Disabled (Does not return Stationary Plane to original HomeBase location) 1 - Enabled (Does return Stationary Plane to original HomeBase location) "Use stationary Planes as Spawn points" must be enabled for this to work. "Return used stationary plane to original position" has some interesting quirks when it is enabled. When Enabled the aircraft will return to the Original location at the HomeBase where it was chosen. When Enabled and the aircraft is transferred to another HomeBase the place where the game first thinks it stopped becomes its "Original" location at the base where it transferred. This is important because the game will put the stationary aircraft at that location when the Player clicks refly. This makes for an interesting problem when the game places the stationary aircraft right in the middle of the runway. Wheels

Cool video. Wheels

Really well done Geezer. Wheels

Lol, now I won't have an excuse for forgetting my PW. Took me two days to remember it. Wheels

M4T is always an option if you are interested. DCG Campaigns: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&c=583 (I am an Admin at M4T) Wheels

Did this allow you to spawn into the correct stationary aircraft? If it did I must be missing something since I tried changing the stationary aircraft .mis file name to the PaintSchemes name in the .mis file and the Stationary aircraft did not show up in the mission. Wheels

Even though you can't share the images you should still be able to download your albums. Login to your account Open one of your albums On the right hand side there should be a list of Actions Find the "Download Album" action Click on it and it will make you jump through hoops to prove you ARE NOT a robot. Play their game and answer the questions. Click the download button WAIT for them to give you a link to download the album. DO NOT logout and use the email link. It NEVER works. Open the zip file and see how many images were lost, hopefully none. Even though I can't right click and save the images there is also an option to Download each image individually. You will also need to download each sub-album individually since PB will not combine them. Gifs and Videos must be downloaded individually also. Wheels

We have a few similar items at M4T.

There are several more "Private Snafu" videos on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Private+SNAFU Wheels

With all the IL-2 websites and their support that has fallen by the wayside in the last 5 years your continued support of this program is greatly appreciated. Wheels

Once again having you reset the PW manually worked Klaiber. Not sure why the system wouldn't accept my PW though? Thanks again. Wheels

Thanks Klaiber. Just as an FYI, I did finally get the automatic password reset email but it was twelve hours later.The forum software sent the email about 90 minutes before you reset the password manually. Wheels

I am using IE8. I will see if using compatability mode helps. Thanks. :-) Wheels

I kept getting logged out of both sites for no apparent reason that I can find. I would click a link to another thread and boom logged out. Click a link for another forum, again logged out. At first I thought it was because I didn't use the remember me or keep me logged in feature but using it didn't help either. Going from the Richthofen forums to this one logged me out too. Not sure what I could have been doing to have it keep logging me out ??? Now to see if it logs me out after making a post like last time. Thanks for looking. Wheels

Very cool video. Wheels

Yep, the "New Topic" button has magically appeared. Thanks. Wheels

Thanks for the help at the UBI forums Klaiber. Everything seems to have worked smoothly and I am registered at both sites. Looking forward to watching the new site/s grow. Wheels

The "New Topic" button is missing, for me, in that forum. Understandable if that forum is intended as a squdron only forum but from the forum description I don't read it that way. Hi Klaiber. Wheels
