Carp, now that's a big'un!

Thanks Roger, 2003 indeed did not work, couldn't even install video drivers for it Looked at that 2k8r2 trial option... downloading it will take some 7 hours... I'd better browse the disks I got at work tomorrow for something suitable to try...

(Hm, cause I cannot get my hands on anything else right now, I'm installing Windows 2003 Server - standard ... see what that does ;-)

+1 -1 Do buy it... it'll be the only chance of it ever getting much better... what technical state it is in now, I can't tell... but I can tell there's still lots of work to be done. Lots! And they can only do it if it sells sufficiently... Basically, try and see it this way: here's a chance for us all to support the team that has given us so much in the past years... reward them for it... and if they get sufficiently rewarded, we might get some more out of it as well...

Hm, yeah, but... they shouldn't say it would run on it... Same things still happen after the update (13954), and no change in FPS...

XP here, and having Clod running with some issues. Crashes. Lock ups. That Beta patch has halved the otherwise acceptable FPS... Have attached contents of Log.Txt, interesting messages in there... The result of simply starting op the London Attack, Ju88, activating Autopilot immediately when in cockpit. Org log.txt

Hello ...

Wow, very beautiful... thanks for posting that!

Can someone invite me please? fooltrottel is my id, no caps...

Welcome back Dino!

(I'm not giving mod advice, I'm just protecting a perfectly fine vanilla 4.10.1m installation )

You're completely right there Trib, except... well... I was afraid 'Bail Bail Bail' wouldn't work, as it would probably cause his Ms-Outlook to open ... Look silly? No way. Not as long as TS hasn't got the webcam integration and we're all using that... And if so, then... nothing special would have to happen... we'd all look as silly as we are all of the time...

Whatever you do regarding UP, do not do it on/with that 4.10.1m installation of yours! To get UltraPack 2.01 running, you will need to start with a fresh 4.09m installation. 1.First you create a backup copy of 4.10.1m. Copy the whole folder to a different folder. Name that new folder 'Backup1946-4.10.1m'. 2. Next you need to install 1946 and patch it up to 4.09m, in a seperate folder. Name the folder '1946UP2.01' or similar, so it's easy to recognize. Installing it from DVD might result into you loosing 4.10.1m, as it will probably want to un-install it. That's why you've created that backup of 4.10.1m folder! (You could try and prevent that un-install from being really succesfull, by renaming the original 'IL-2 Sturmovik 1946' folder to something else, like '1946 4.10.1m', before you run the install from DVD) 3. After 1946 has installed from DVD, copy the file conf.ini and the folder 'users' from the backup copy folder ('Backup1946-4.10.1m) to the new installation. (in folder '1946UP2.01') See if it will start. If it does, patch it up to 4.08m and 4.09m. 4. Create a backup copy of that 4.09m installation, before you take the next step. 5. Then do as Toad suggests in this topic (Unzip that UpUpdater stuff to the 1946UP2.01 folder, run it from there.) 6. After that has completed, you will need to create some new shortcuts to start the game... (Right click the file IL2fb.exe in each game-folder, choose Send To, Desktop (create shortcut). Rename each shortcut (select icon, press F2) to the version it's pointing to... Also create a shortcut to 1946UP2.01\jsgme.exe. Thats basically the "easiest" way to do it, though you can speed the process up considerably by skipping the 'create backup' items, but I would advise against doing so. But, wait for others' suggestions, I just woke up....

I'd think it'd be cool for us to shout 'Eject Eject Eject' over teamspeak, your speakers will make you voice recognition pick up the command and next ...

Initially, I read this as 'lead' [led], as in the soft heavy metal... now that'd be cool... "For the aircraft in the gunsight to be destroyed, you will need to put 76lbs of lead into the right or left wingroot ..."

I sure do hope you're remembering this incorrectly... an Nvidia 6200 has never cost over EUR 40.00, maybe 50.00, max! It's truly a low-budget card, has always been, and still is...

Does not ring a bell here... (It's rather the opposite, I find when something goes wrong while typing up a post, -wheather it's in here or on a different form- Opera has saved me several times, by using the back button, not only saving the trace of visited pages, but also saving texts entered as well) Here's a tip when typing long posts, and before you attempt to 'post' it, try pressing ctrl-a, ctrl-c. At least the text you typed will still be on the clipboard if something gets messed up....

Me thinks it'll be rather frustrating in the beginning in the end ... My guess is the main plus of Clod over IL2 will be the in cockpit lighting... One will get used to that quite fast. And one will really miss that when falling back to the old IL2, once one wants to fly 'other aircraft' than the ones in Clod. You will think 'yuck... ugly dark flat stinkin' cockpit in here... yuck' .... I can't imagine flying Clod only, and missing out on the good old IL2 Sturmovik. For me personally, there's a small comforting item in Clod: there's a flyable 110 We should get as many smart mission builders together as fast as possible, and have them create a whole bunch of exiting missions, dogfight and coop.... mind you, surely not limited to the happenings in the Bob alone.... A set of training missions, preparing the dogz as a squad, to make it ready for operations.... that'd be cool... that in addition to Crash's great idea...

Smash, happy birthday!

Has JSGME been updated to work with 4.10.1 or have you guys just figured out something? UP 2.01 has been updated, if you run upupdater, it should add a 4.10.1m, which you can activate all by itself, similar to 4.09m and 4.10m, so you when you fire it up, you will be running stock 4.10.1m. See below...

Hey, now that's weird.. in Holland, when defective harddisks need recovery, they are being sent to some company in the UK :unsure: Sorry to hear about all that data getting lost Arthur... Here's a tip: Save the broken disk, keep it. You can always tell everyone you did not lose the data, that it's still on the disk. The fact you can't access it, is just a minor detail ...

Hello

Sleep tight, things will probably look better in the morning...

Did you change any 'things' in the system recently? New video driver maybe? System restore can be turned off completely, in that case I'm thinkin' it won't be creating any restore points at all... (Could running diskcleanup affect this? I should know, but I don't. I've got it switched off) What does the error tell you? There should be some codes in there, that might tell us about what's causing it. (Right click 'My Computer', select 'Manage'. Then select 'Event Viewer', system log. Look for errors in there, 'save dump', open that one, click the 'copy' button on the top right hand side. Then paste in a reply here...) Check the inside of the case for dust, see whether the video card's fan is still spinning...

Me thinks you will be needing a .jpg of the map used, and place it in a folder 'Maps' (I had to create that one in MLR, then have MLR point to it.) ..... but I'm all new to it too, just downloaded it and tried it to see if I could be of help... I used this thread: Thread at 1C The 2nd download link in there does contain a few maps, but not all, only a few. Ran a test on Kalkin Gol mission/map, it does show some waypoints ... map icons, no further actions icons as I just let the coop run with AI only flying...
