Hey, thank you very much! This thread and Nick's fiddlin' with masking tape yesterday has inspired me to pickup the work on the Swordfish again... ... and whilst doing that... yeah, you are right... Oh well ... Beautiful thing you've been creating there FF, makes me want to ... oh, never mind, I do not have the accuracy, nor the patience and tenacity to produce a result anywhere remotely like that!

The only errors it could/should have repeatedly, are if you are on XP. Three files that are 'too large' to handle, they will show a 'Out of Memory error'...

ChkMods will give you 7.02, even if it just states HSFX7. (It does not state 7.00 ) ChkMods will always give you the latest version ... that's its goal anyways...

Seen this thread by Jabo?

What are you using to update the installation? How? What is counting in seconds?

CLOD Server now updated to 4.312.

S! ... never forget ...

Or this: Should give you one bracket, with 4 USB ports.... oh wait, that's if there's two connectors/jumpers available.

I do not think so... the order of the controllers is not related to their physical connection.... as far as I know. Adding a controller or removing one if it is not the last one in the list of game controllers will mess things up by altering one or more controllers' id's. It will recognize both, as long as you keep them both plugged in. It's all about how you assign them... Here's an idea, should you run into trouble by getting a re-assigned controller, send me a screenshot of the game controllers's view, and your settings.ini from the users\pilot folder, and I will try and re-program the file.... search and replace ...

Cool! Thanks!

You can use multiple game controllers via a USB Hub, but it is not recommended to do so. Even if it is a powered Hub, there is a good chance you will run into some trouble at some moment in time... Try and combine other USB devices to free up USB ports, like keyboard and mouse... The Joystick1 and 2 in game setup are for having the option to create profiles, but solely for the sensitivity settings of the axes. Not for the assignment of buttons and axes. For that, you either create a new Pilot, or rename some .ini files or folders in the users folder...

Yes, yes, yes and yes, though Ubizoo is getting a bit low on numbers, especially earlier in the evening ....

Kimo !!!!

Great idea! Well, apart from the pre-assigned brains part that is, as that is just Brilliant!

You are right Mick, any coop can be converted. Good idea! (I do recall having had thoughts about a tool that can do it... Read mission file, record Take off coords and plane types on there, and add a homebase at the t/o coords, with all them aircraft types available on it. Easy peasy. Well, yeah, no time, no energy. Plenty inspiration though! But, well, now you've read this Mick, you can be the perfect tool for that! ) Thanks Crash! That's exactly the stuff we are looking for!

The current list of missions on the DF server is getting old and stale, and too familiar... So, looking for a new set of missions, nice DF missions, with plenty of AI in it, running for about 45 minutes each. Now I have not got the time nor energy nor inspiration to work on a new set of new missions... So, asking you all to come forward and look for and find good missions for the DF server! And, suggest some in this thread. List them here. (Add them if you can, or leave a link) Here's the list of what is the current old set: BOB_A_Summers_Day BOB_DAY_Fighter_Sweep BOB_FOUL_WEATHER BOB_MANSTON BOB_Portsmouth_and_Southampton BOB_Tangmere_Attack Carrier_Attack_OKINAWA Darwin Raid 1 MDS Defence_of_Tobruk Desert_Base_Attack Dunkerque_Rescue El Alamein 1 ElAlamein 2 Frontline_Convoy_ground_attack Italy_Convoy_Defence Napoli NORMANDY_COAST NO_AI_FULL_WESTERN_FRONTLINE_NO_AI Pearl_Harbour Slovensko_Dogfight_With_AI_Aircraft WW1_with_AI

Clodwatchdog.ini is listening on port 21000 currently... better try 27010, as it's now listening to 1946

That 4.3 patch added more in the atmospheric sense... meaning, on the way back to Manston, somewhere 'high' over Dover, I simply throttled back, steered towards Manston, gradually descending, and without looking at the altimeter, I was a able to just see and feel the correct descending approach... sure I kept an eye on the speedometer... One thing I now need to get a grip on are those last few feet, as I tend to let it sink from a few feet to high, bouncy bouncy...3x and + But to be up there, and look around, it now feels and looks if you really are up there at 10k feet... Well, I felt/saw it that way.... Clod is now brilliantly cool

It is simple: as long as the aircraft or its remnants have not been found, as long as there's no proof of it landing/crashing, it is still flying...

To me this sounds like a defective external harddisk. The slowness of the system when you plug the disk in, is caused by it trying to read from the disk, as it recognizes it as a hard disk, and wants to read its contents, -even if you do not try to directly access it. (You could check the eventlogs, and you will probably find a lot of errors related to the disk.) Disks in a state like this probably have bad sectors on them, where the disk finds an error, and tries to re-read the sector, and re-read and re-read... this will take a lot of time. Should you be patient and wait and wait and wait, eventually you will get an error popping up, or in the end it may read the disk correctly. But chances of that last thing happening are very small. To try and save/retrieve data from it, I would try and hook it up to a different system, running a different OS (like Windows 7, or better yet Ubuntu or some other Linux variant. There's a small (very small!) chance you will be able to access files on it that way.) Them external disks are nice, but also kinda prone to fail. Especially during startup and shutdown (power on/off) and plug/unplug. (Just yesterday at work I had a 1TB hard disk go fail, just because a disconnect / connect , it somehow wiped the entire contents of the disk... it was empty, unformatted... oh well ... I could re-partiton and re-format it in the end) Your problem however sounds like a physical defect... to me it looks like disk and data will be lost... Wait for others to chime in....

JP, somehow the checker decided to give you HSFX6.... I have changed that, so run it again, it should give you HSX7.

Darn!
