Doing some racing on the 352ndVfG Great Battles server last night, March 28, 2025. Wheels

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?

Since we had to deactivate the Links module at Mission4Today (M4T) because it kept crashing the site here are some Useful Links that I think are still relevant. 7zip: https://www.7-zip.org/ Archive.org: Old Time Radio: https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio Gimp: https://www.gimp.org/ Irfanview: https://www.irfanview.com/ Old Radio World: https://www.oldradioworld.com/ Shorpy Historical Photo Archive: https://www.shorpy.com/Large_Format_Kodachromes There are some others but I think this is enough for one post.

This Full Mission Builder (FMB) problem has me stumped. It is happening for this individual in versions 4.12.2m and 4.13.4m. No mods installed in either version Test Runways not Appearing in FMB ??? Did anyone else ever have the same problem and how did you resolve it if you did? Wheels

Our hosting service has completed their work on the servers and our security certificate has been updated. All should be working as expected now. Please continue to report any unexpected difficulties using the site and we will do what we can to get them resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience during this maintenance period. 😎 Wheels

Sorry for the interruption of service. M4T is down due to server maintenance implemented by our hosting service. The site will be down for approximately 24 hours if they have no unexpected issues with their fixes. I will also be posting any updates on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/mission4today Wheels

When I first found the problem with the SimHQ Archives the Internet Archive was under a DDos attack and had been down for a few days. https://duckduckgo.com/?va=d&t=ha&q=internet+archive+ddos+attack&ia=web It is up but it is still in read only mode. No edits and no new content is being added at the moment. There was only 1 save of the DGen Studies thread which was captured in 2018. https://web.archive.org/web/20180429205040/http://simhq.net/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1708223/1.html Considering there is a high probability that I generated this save I suspect that most of the SimHQ.net archived threads will not even have one save at the Internet Archive. To help keep the information more readily accessible I have added it to the M4T Knowledge Base.

As I expected the move of the main site from the .com domain to the .net domain deleted the forum archives that had been hosted at the .net domain since 2008. There were still several threads with relevant information in the IL-2 Sturmovik archives. Not the least of which was the DGen studies thread. I was hoping that the archived threads had just been rolled back into the current version of the .net forums but no such luck. ☹️ Wheels

Due to ongoing problems with road construction at and around the Chino airport the annual Planes of Fame airshow is being held in Santa Maria again this year. Website: https://www.centralcoastairfest.com/ Facebook: PoF Air Museum(Facebook) Facebook Photos: PoF Photos (Facebook) Instagram: Pof Instagram Channel If anyone is in the Santa Maria area the last I heard, earlier today, there were still tickets available for the airshow on Sunday, September 22, 2024. 😎 Wheels

Hello guys & gals?? I thought there would be some interest in the happenings at the Planes of Fame locations and their regular and flying events. To keep from creating multiple threads regarding Planes of Fame and their multiple locations, Chino California, Valle Arizona, & Santa Maria California, I will be posting announcements about them and their events in this thread. Planes of Fame Chino, California location: 14998 Cal Aero Drive, Chino, CA 91710 Planes of Fame, Valle, Arizona location: 755 Mustang Way, Valle Arizona At this time the Valle location is closed to the public, possibly permanently? The Planes of Fame, Santa Maria, California location will be at the Santa Maria airport (KSMX).
