Thanks Jabo, great shots! The PR Spit comes out great, on top of that cloud!

So we are switching the swap then?

My Calendar shows it's an odd week number, so ... BoX! But, for sure, we can switch and swap - no problem!

Just to be complete: From Left to Right Sid, Sqwuak, Jabo, FT, Crash, BluBear, Friar, Fenrir, Mrs. Ovy, Ovy, Painless' Dad-Mate, Painless' Dad, Sweper. The shortlegged one is Painless... or did he just sink a bit?

From left to right: BluBear, Crash, Sid, Painless, Fenrir, Jabo. These are their DD-faces, I do not know their real ones

Irt's very nice to see you gezers together and shift, rather! (Makes one wonder why one is not there ...)

the sky is falling!

Weird!! Still, could it be that 'guest' logon? Seems that if/when you swipe in a specific way, this can happen - is like for when you need to hand over your phone to let someone else make a call from it... Found this: Swipe down from the top with two fingers and touch the user icon on the upper right. Add a guest to keep all your private data safe. Next, touch the Add guest icon and then your phone will switch over. All the apps on the device won’t be connected to your account, so Google Photos, Gmail, and Chrome are all safe. To end guest mode, tap the user icon and choose Remove guest.

Looks like it indeed wiped itself back to factory settings ... Could be due to it crashing and trying to 'fix' itself... If you've previously signed into a cloud-like account, and you've made a backup that way, there should be a way to restore the contents... otherwise... I do not think you can get it back... Then again, I am not too familiar with those Android devices, so... I googled a bit, and it is more complex, see here"https://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/547862-my-phone-somehow-reset-itself-factory-settings-i-lost-everything-how-recover.html - Could be it signed itself in with a guest account... maybe switch it off, remove battery, reseat battery and switch it back on again? (Like said, I'm not really familiar with Android!)

Are we there yet?

wow...

Have lots of fun out there boys, and please do record the audio!

Oh Carp, looks like I missed the boat!

Any idea to add to the already existing chaos and complexity within our group gets my vote! How many of us regular Thursday CloD-ers do not do DCS? (I already feel bad for Alpha showing up on Box-Tuesdays... )

1946 has Jets! CloD has mannable Guns BoX has drivable Tanks. Dedicated prop sims?

No photos to share at all! No loft available, nor the need/want to save them. Threw 'm away, or gave 'm away at some time. Thanks for the subject (Them broken off blades / wings etc. do bring back memories!)

Well, if Rog listens to me, then... and then, well... we will... 'cos - we gots the power you know - we knows where your house lives - sorry, can't say no more - it's all secret and shift, but we know, be sure!!

Got it here too, even on the iPhone. However, a good old refresh, via Button or F5 and it's there... no real worries. I will shoot an email Rog's way though ...

Progress! Tail section mounted, main landing gear constructed...

I never ever see strange colors ... well, they do not appear strange to me anyways The bar that shows the loading progress, yes, that's new - I see that as well...

So, here's a follow up on the issues I had experienced with this update to 2.5.2: The installed version would just not update to 2.5.2, and there was no repair option... So, before re-installing from scratched, I had moved the old version over to a different disk, as a backup. Next, installed the new one, into a differently named folder, and created a new shortcut for it. It was updated and shift and all... Then Yesterday, post Clod session I fired it up, and all was well. Very well. Flak bursts and all. Now today I found out that the original shortcut had changed itself to the new location of the moved folder... so in fact I was running the original troubled version yesterday! No idea how it got updated though, must've happened when I thought I fired up the newly installed one, but in fact use the wrong/old shortcut? (This would explain just fine how all content -spit, P51, Normandy- were all active and present after the new install though...) Anyways, deleted the newly installed one, and moved the original contents back to its original disk.

Well, I reinstalled DCS, and it looks like it's all there now... Copied config\input over... looks fine now. I do know now where my issues came from: I had reinstalled Windows, but left DCS out of that. It worked like that, having it on a different drive than windows. It did work, but no menu items, and it was not listed in 'Programs And Features' / Apps. It is now though...

Hm, to me this all sounds like you are running an Alpha version! ?

Silly software this is... I downloaded the installer again, ran it, and then it showed me: Stoopid! As the software is not installed, I do not have any menu items! So, downloading and installing it all a-new, in a different folder! (10mb/s... lol)
