I don't know Blogger but here is a link about adding flash to Blogger: http://adding-flash.blogspot.com/

There are no flyable F14s in the game though.. Is anybody up for flying LOFC2 this Friday (5/21/10) night about 7pm EST? I want to try flying the BlackShark with FC2. I'm a litte rusty...

I was out of town last weekend, but we flew the previous weekend on Fri night and Sat afternoon EST. When is best for you?

That's great BG! My uncle had a little farm south of Rochester Minnsota with about 8 hives. He made some labels and gave friends honey. You could give the DangerDogzzzzzzzz some of your BeeeGeeee Honey.

Not sure how long this is good for... but I just got an email from NewEgg selling Win7 Home Premium on sale for $89.

Well, we are still flying regularly on BadAim's Wednesday nights. BA and I usually show up round 7-8pm EST, and several others show up around 9pm EST. There is also several DDz who regularly fly weeknights around 9pm EST as well.

Sounds like you are having fun Brando. Those KTO missions are great fun. We flew the Seoul KTO mission last night as well for a while... Did you have that missing icon from he map bug?? That bug was in Zuti 1.12, but supposedly fixed in 1.13. It happens when you host a mission with the Radar object on it (89 I think?). All missions hosted after that have no map icons. But both of my KTO missions have map icons setup to pretend they are like simulated radar. All icons are white so you cannot id exact aircraft and have to use terrain recognition with the map to navigate, which can be fun/challenging. Also it updates only every 5 seconds. Red has it on their southern AB and also with a B29 flying really high over the front. Blue has it with their AB as well. And both are limited by distance, so once an aircraft gets far enough away it disappears from radar.

Hey, I sent you some memory in the mail. Did you get it? Also, you need to find a job and scrape together some cash to get Windows 7 Home Premium for just $99 at Newegg. Most people can't just give away their old copy because they used it for their upgrade and Microsoft has their serial number for both.

FC ReadMe Notes about Refueling:

Ahh, very cool Brando. I did not know that you were the same person as 6BL-Brando! I have hosted your WWI Coop missions many times on Wed Night with BadAim. They were well built with a great battle at the front, so it was fairly easy to turn it into a Zuti MDS! Glad you approve! Yea, those Korean Zuti missions are a blast. All the bases are fun to take off from as well. Start in Hangers at the southern/northern bases, or at Suswan the airfields just looks fantastic. I have no plans to update them at this point. I am kind of burnt out mission building IL2 for a while I think.

Flew last night again with AP Hill and CaptJack. Flew the Practice mission for about an hour, then a new night mission that I made dropping candle flares to light up the area and then we hit a Oil refinery and some tanks. Then tried a stock mission that had no labels, which made it much harder of course. And we died as a result, but had a lot of fun trying to search out those SAM sites. Can_Goose and Squawk showed up, but still needed to install the game, so we will be flying with them as well Today (Sat) at 2pm EST if anyone would like to join us. Snack

Some parameters of graphics.cfg are exported to this file, which is included in the file integrity check system for online play. If the file contents on the client machine differ from the host’s, the client will not be able to connect. --------------------------------------------------------------------- FLIGHT MODEL CHANGES + Fixed an error in the F-15 polar curves that had caused a reduction in time required to achieve sustained turn rate at reduced speeds. + For the A-10 and F-15, added automatic flaps extension/retraction based on indicated airspeed when the flaps are set in the “down” position in the cockpit. + For the Su-27 and Su-33, adjusted the flaperon mechanization logic (the indicator will blink while the flaperon is adjusting depression angles – this is not a bug). + MiG-29 flaps will move with the wind force. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ERROR PROBABILITY FOR RADAR-GUIDED MISSILES ON LOW ALTITUDE Increased the error probability for radar-guided missiles (ARH, SARH, radio-command guided) based on altitude above ground. Currently the error probability increases from 300 meters to 0. Maximum error probability is at ground level for a target with minimum radial velocity. Error probability is reduced as radial velocity increases to 500 km/h. Above 500 km/h, error probability is minimal regardless of altitude. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TRACK IR For proper functionality, TrackIR software needs to be update via the “Check for Game Updates” command in the TrackIR software. --------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ Q: Upon mission start, the game does no respond to commands and does no unpause. Some buttons do not work, I am unable to save and restore a control profile. A: Most likely your system has either PuntoSwitcher or NewView software installed. Add the simulation executables (launcher.exe and simulator.exe) to PuntoSwitcher exceptions or stop the program while running the game. For NewView, you will need to rename the working NewView folder prior to starting Flaming Cliffs 2.

Hah.. That's good. Luckily they used a small bull and cut his horn tips off.

CaptJack, AP Hill, and I will be flying Lockon this Friday night (5/7/2010) at 7pm. If you are interested in joining us, just show up on TS3.

I won't be trying that keyboard thing since i have a touchscreen with TouchBuddy. No need for it...

This is the support topic for the tutorial Customizing SnapViews in Lockon FC2. Please post here if you have any questions or feedback.

Ahh.. Roger. I flew online with AP Hill and CaptJack last thursday night (USA Time) in a practice mission that I made. It is in the vault if you are interested.

Are you just getting Lomac, or also FC2?

Glad you guys are ok Bucky. How is the girl? Stupid Cell Phones! I was almost forced off the road twice in one day in my Harley by two cell phone drivers once. Both changing lanes with the cell phone in their ear.

If you have a spare monitor or computer sitting around, you can use TouchBuddy. You don't need a touchscreen, you can just use your mouse.
