For some reason unknown to me Discord has decided recently to quit playing nicely and in the process give me a huge headache when it comes to logging into the site. I am using the correct username and password but Discord just will not me login to the site. First Discord gave me a captcha challenge that I seemed to pass but the site would still not let me login. No rhyme or reason given it just did not take me to my account Next Discord wanted me to pass the captcha challenge and it prompted me to change my password and I attempted to jump through that hoop. Nope the password reset email never arrived, on more than one occasion. I have searched for a support feature to address my problem with the Discord account but have not been successful. Has anyone else had success finding and using a Discord support feature? I was using a saved Bookmark to get to the Discord site when the problem initially arose and I have attempted to use a direct link I typed in the browser line and I end up having the same problem.

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 keep wondering what happened to @il2crashesnfails when I come across another one of his old threads. He was everywhere posting prolifically for a few years and then he just dropped off the map at some point in 2020. Everything went dark at roughly the same time too. Hopefully it was just a change in gaming style and not something else that caused him to disappear so suddenly. Wheels

It has been three sessions now and the battle field should become more active now that our two forces have met on the ground. The last ground battle just before the session ended was awesome to watch even strictly as an observer. I didn't think we were ever going to take out @DD_Petrol's tank. I saw several, what I thought were finishing, hits before he was finally immobilized. Is anyone having lag issues with our server? Other than unlocking the weapons loadouts on the tanks are there other requests? Are the missions fun? Wheels

Running il2setup.exe and setting the screen resolution fixed the problem for Kopfdorfer. Wheels

Lol, if you have such mastery with your gunnery skills that you can pick and choose where you are going to hit an enemy vehicle with your bullets and bombs so the pilot does not get killed I salute you again @Squee7e. In my case if I get bullets, bombs, or rockets on target it is practically a miracle so I have to be satisfied that I hit the target and hopefully got out of the engagement area before getting shot down or doing something else boneheaded that gets me killed. 😁 Wheels

This Saturday August 2nd is another Hangar talk and Flying event. The featured aircraft is going to be the OV-10. Events Calendar: https://planesoffame.org/events-calendar This years Central Coast AirFest is just around the corner in October. Website: https://www.centralcoastairfest.com/ Wheels

Probably should have bailed... If you haven't guessed that mushroom cloud is me after trying to force a landing when I should have gone around or even smarter bailed once I got back over land. Congrats to @Squee7e for giving my only death for the session. Wheels

Thank you for responding. I took what I quoted in my prior to mean that v5.0 had been in your private group vault at one time but it is totally understandable after all this time for it to have gone AWOL. No one seems to have v5.0 or v4.0 in their files these days so not finding it here either is not all that surprising. Wheels

After the full 352n VFG 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.

Since this was so long ago here are some insights for you from the other side of the battlefield. The 352nd was Single crew in every ground vehicle. I do not think we ever knew that you were multi-crewing the tanks. I know I did not know until I read this thread. Makes total sense now why some of you were able to engage us so quickly when we spotted one another. By Single crewing the tanks we were able to cover more ground more quickly but left us vulnerable to your multi-crewed tanks. We normally had about 4 max in the air and the rest of us were on the ground. Since the battle was for taking ground we almost fully conceded the air war. I will guarantee it was just as chaotic on our side of the battlefield. Duckman was your main nemesis in those situations. He is deadly accurate with the Sherman and any of the German tank guns. I will guarantee you that Deacon was shocked that he took out so many so quickly. Normally his gunnery was and still is pretty suspect. Lol, I wish our tactics had been that well thought out !! I can not speak for the rest of the group but I did not know that external view had been enabled during any of our sessions. Wheels

We have the HSFX History Mod Version 5.0 Hotfix 1 patch at Mission4Today in the HSFX: !nstallation Packages section but I have not been able to find a working link for the original v5.0 anywhere? Makes sense that the links are dead since the mod is so old but I would like to have all the files necessary for the mod packs so there will be a complete set at Mission4Today. Any chance that HSFX v5.0 is still in the vault or the long forgotten files of someone since I am not finding it in the publicly viewable downloads area. Wheels

I know this thread is older than dirt and the joint-ops site has been offline for close to a decade but did anyone save the training syllabus?
