We just missed the one year anniversary of his passing. 🫡 John Hemingway (RAF officer) Wheels

I got close, but no ceegar. you can thank DD_Perfesser for the awesome defense of your flag. I lost the gun vs gun duel this time. Considering how our last session went I am pretty sure I was owed one... Another great defensive session on your part guys. 🫡 Wheels

Jiri has finally decided now , actually sometime around March 20th, was the time to pull the plug on the Hyperlobby forums. At the moment I am getting the following error message whenever I use any of my Hyperlobby links. Wheels

Holy carp that last tank battle during our session earlier was epic. I really thought you were going to hold the ground. Imo, your tactics and team cohesion are getting tougher and tougher for us to counter. Hopefully by the next session my heart rate has dropped back down to normal. 🙃 Wheels

I was able to get this problem resolved using Discord support. You need to create a Discord support account since Discord & Discord Support are separate from one another. Not sure why they felt it was necessary to separate them but that is how they chose to do it? Considering the absolute horror stories I read online about their support, or lack thereof, I was resigned to the fact that I had likely lost my Discord account forever. Even so I created a Support account and I gave them a shot at resolving my problem. It took a few emails with them but their response time was quite quick and it only took a couple of days to resolve the problem and I was quite happy with the outcome. The first support tech did have to bump it up to a higher level though. The problem was being caused on their side because for some reason their system kept bouncing anything sent to the email account I used to register. Once Support removed the block from my email address their system had put on it I was able to login to my account normally. After I logged into my account I changed the email address associated to it as a precaution against the same issue happening again with that email address. Wheels

Well fought evening Dogz. ~S~ Your tactics kept us on our heels the entire night and earned yourselves a most glorious victory!!! Now @Squee7e, one of these sessions you are going to be on the receiving end of my guns, and most assuredly quite by accident, in one of our encounters. 😁 Lol, But it sure wasn't during our last session. I went straight in at full speed. 😵 See y'all next session. Wheels

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
