One other thing that bit me in the behind recently was failing to use the Generate snapshot of Game files option in JSGME. I suspect that OVGME has something similar. Had I been a bright young lad and used this feature before I started messing around with some new mods, while in a hurry, and then forgetting to disable all mods before enabling the new ones which of course borked the install I could have used that option to restore the build back to the earlier snapshot. Live and learn, as always the hard way... Wheels

All Aircraft Simulations which was formerly, quite some time back, All Aircraft Arcade may be gone permanently? For almost a month now I have been getting an Unable to connect error message about the site not being found. Since Deutchmark passed away in May of this year I have been wondering if AAS might just disappear like so many other formerly well trafficked IL-2 sites. Deutschmark has passed away: https://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&t=26765 I was hoping that the person who was managing the site since Deutchmark's passing might keep the site online longer than just a few months but they were pretty hands off once they made the announcement of his passing. I did a whois search and it seems the site registration was not renewed in June either. The site traffic for the past few years had been practically nil but it is still sad day for me to see it go away. Lots of memories floating around in my mind regarding that place right now. Wheels

Several good options to read have been shown recently. I am going to have to find out if I can read any of them online now that I have a library card for the first time in almost 40 years. Wheels

I'll take Sweden Bob Hope, Dina Merrill, Tuesday Weld, & Frankie Avalon https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059298/ I'll take Sweden https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059298/ Rated 5.3 out of 10 on IMDb which is a gift. For me it is a 2 out of 10 and I am only giving it those two stars because of Bob Hope. It is the only Bob Hope movie that I have ever seen where I did not laugh once. I still find that hard to believe because I am a huge Bob Hope fan. Wheels

I still use JSGME since it came with the HSFX mod for IL-2 1946. It became waaaay more useful when I found out I could save mod profiles which allowed me to switch between different mod packs or maps by loading a saved mod profile. Lol, I finally broke down and read the User Guide manual when I found it which explained that the links in the middle of the page were actually used for something other than to take up space on the page. The Help link in that section times out now since the JoneSoft website where you are being sent has been offline for quite some time. However the pdf User guide where that Help link is sending you can still be had from the Internet Archive.

Been some minor improvements in graphics since the last Civil War game I played. Grant, Lee, Sherman: Civil War Generals 2 Grant, Lee, Sherman: Civil War Generals 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant,_Lee,_Sherman:_Civil_War_Generals_2 Wheels -
Wanting to do one maybe, making the a decision about one no, that decision has already been made for you. You are definitely going to be or had been a witness at the scene of the crash. Wheels

“You Can Always Go Around” Song https://aviationhumor.net/you-can-always-go-around-song/ https://youtu.be/Ccq30minme8 Well there I was on some fine Sunday afternoon just me and my airplane on a little airport we’ve never been to before. We’re on short final and nothing was looking right. I was seeing red over red, white over white and I couldn’t seem to remember how that saying went anyway but I was staring straight down at the runway and all I could think of was about setting myself up to ungraciously dismantle this perfectly good little airplane. And, and then off in the distance, I heard a voice and I think it was that of my flight instructor saying “You can always go around”. You can always go around if it don’t look right coming down. Don’t wait until your sideways, maybe sliding on the ground. You can always go around. I know that when, when I learned to fly my instructor was yelling in my ear how we’re in carb’ heat cold, climb out, pitch, flaps to go take it ’round the patch, one more time again But I know now, he was showing me that’s just because the nose is pointing down. If it doesn’t look right, give it one more try. You can always go around. You can always go around if it don’t look right coming down. Don’t wait until your sideways, maybe sliding upside down. You can always go around. You’re coming in, you see you’re high and fast, but your mind is set on somehow getting down. The runway leads to grass that leads into trees. Little beads of sweat are dripping from your brow. You still got time. Simply change your mind. It would sure be nice to fly this plane again. With the wings still straight this ain’t no place to hesitate. Pitch and power, gear and flaps. Hey, “Go around”! You can always go around if it don’t look right coming down. Don’t wait until your sideways maybe sliding upside down. You can always … You can always go around! Wheels

Leaderboard/Past leaders links not working
wheelsup_cavu replied to wheelsup_cavu's topic in Public Discussion
It has been that way since some time before June 14th since that is when I brought it up at the Combat Pilot forums. If you are able to backtrack your updates to find one shortly before that date you would quite likely find that it is the one that broke the module. Wheels -

Just watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire a couple of nights ago. IMDb has it rated at 6.1/10 which for me is a pretty accurate assessment of the story line. I will add this comment to my personal rating of the movie, I liked it much more than the recent Beverly Hills Cop reboot. Wheels

This problem is not unique to this site since it is also happening at the Combat Pilot forums. https://forum.combatpilot.com/topic/53-technical-issues/?do=findComment&comment=9215 When I click the Leaderboard link and then open the Past Leaders page it opens just fine to page 1 but if I click on any of the other page links 2, 3, 4, etc. the page does not update to the new page. I stay on the original page. The only way I can get the page to update is to click on the link which does update the browser line, but does not go to the requested page, and then use F5 or Ctrl-F5 so the page updates. Once I refresh the page if I want a new page I have to follow the same routine, click the link and use F5 or CTRL-F5 so it will update. I have this problem with the Firefox, Palemoon, and Edge browsers. As I have already stated this problem for me is not unique to this site. Wheels

Definitely shaping up nicely @Snaggle. Wheels

Lol, I would love to be able to needle you for using Discord for comms and say that TeamSpeak is rock solid and always works but it crashed for us just last Sunday. Wasn't just one channel that went offline either. The DangerDogs's, the 352nd, and SimHQ's channels were giving database error messages or some other message that does not come to mind at the moment. Seems to have been on TeamSpeak's side since all of the channels are working again as of today. Wheels

Hello @sercrets. I do not think it is as straight forward as you are hoping. These documents should have what you need to create a custom campaign?

Saw it. Sadly, as usual, the pre-release hype did not live up to what ended up being the final product. The movie was not terrible by any means and it did have a moment or two that clicked but it just did not engender the same nostalgic feelings I got when I saw Top Gun: Maverick. Wheels

Yea a Korea sim, especially one without carriers, is not a high priority for me. Wheels

Only time will tell, and I do wish them well, but all too often when the original owner of something steps away the person who took it over does not really share their passion for it so it tends to decline. Wheels

Cal Worthington was a fixture on late night TV commercials in Southern California well into the 1990's. First time I ever saw one of his commercials was on Johnny Carson the year before we moved to Southern California. Wheels

Only time will tell if the Air racers and fans embrace this new location. Hope they get at least another 60+ year run out of the location. Wheels

Lol, nope. A couple of those artillery bursts as i was landing were just a wee bit too close for comfort. It was also the reason I ended the video so quickly. We do have a Repair/Rearm/Refuel location on that base and I was in it when I finally stopped but the longer you sit in one location the more it seems that the artillery fire focuses on you. Wheels
