Brilliant! Will you be controlling it remotely? (I'd like to do something like that some time in the future.... )

Hill, you only need to download those if you want to host the missions, you do not need them if you're gonna connect to someone else whose doing the hosting... (Unless.. you would want to prepare, and download all the missions - all 2000+ -, and study them? )

lol !

Cool, I could see your house from up there! "the air where I use to go for a ride on my bicycle" What kind of bicycle is that? A highcycle maybe?

Guys, your ideas and coding are good, and nearly solid, but do make sure is says 'kick DD_FT"... Believe me, I do know, as it took me forever to get Swep kicked at the appropriate times! JB, if that Tab has some movement sensor in it, you could just put it up on a swivel, put yer feet on it, and there ya go, rudders!

(Missing a button 'emergency re-start engines @ low level' ) Looks good! So, you no longer need that Bodnar board? Cool solution! Your Tab being used as a touch screen and computer terminal!

DCS World was very quickly deleted from my SSD... lightnin' fast! (It's just... I won't/don't/can't handle more than two of them simu-things)

What Jabo said ...

It does something cosmetically

If I remember correctly, pressing Shift-F1, the gunsight view will give you the sight for the Schraegemusik ...

Okay, ChkMods now has those missing files in it, run it again, have it verify the stuff, and fix issues...

Maybe the slovakia map will bring you close to Bavaria?

Yeah, well... the QuickMission builder stuff kinda fits in this part that I wrote earlier: "(It may lack in some skins, speech files or mission files. If you also want to do offline campaigns and do not want to miss any content, then you'll have to take a different route... I have tried it, starting with 1946 4.07m, then ran ChkMods, it works)" as in... I decided not to put it in ChkMods, just to limit the load a bit. However, I have created a zip file, attached it here, with a number of files that you must place in the Missions\Quick folder of the game. Once the contents are in there, you can select a map in the QMB screen, somewhere in the lower right part... Quick.zip (I will try and have them added to ChkMods...)

Isn't this what Kevin does for a living, well kinda ....

The succesfull running of ChkMods does depend a lot on what your Internet connection to the dd's server is like. Its progress of 0.2% may not say much, as initially it will probably download some large files, which will take a long time (staying at 0.2%), it may even time out... But, it will add the missed file to the download list, at the end of it.... it will get it in the end... Just keep it running like that, in the end.... (You could also download each and every patch needed, and the HSFX stuff separately...that might be faster in the end, but it takes so many different steps, so many ways where it can go wrong... indeed, just let it do its thing...)

Wow, thanks Nick, no wonder I beat you to it, you've been putting in much more effort... lol!

Correct Fritz, go with its assumption: HSFX701. (I have not put in all the effort to have it being capable of recognizing each and every version that was out...) Press the Verify Mods button, let it check... once ready, hit the 'Fix Issues' button... Rinse and repeat until no more issues found...

Fritz, click on the link in Jabo's post, that will show you what to do. Will send info on TS in a PM to you, that should end up in your email as well...

It is certainly up to you guys to decide about membership. No reason he can't check your website out as that is all I intended. I now remember that Jim was content with ChkMods by not only what it did for the members of our group, but also to potentially use it as advertising material...

Not sure what you are looking for... In the FMB, there's Regiment, call that top level, which will - I think - determine the first two characters of the four character codes on Bombers and Zerstoerers.... The third character is determined by both squadron and plane number within the flight. The fourth is derived from flight number. Not sure if that is what you need though... Like: Reg Squadron Flight Plane ID I./ZG 52 1 1 1 A2 + AH I./ZG 52 1 1 2 A2 + BH I./ZG 52 1 1 3 A2 + CH I./ZG 52 1 1 4 A2 + DH I./ZG 52 1 2 1 A2 + EH I./ZG 52 1 2 2 A2 + FH I./ZG 52 1 2 3 A2 + GH I./ZG 52 1 2 4 A2 + EH I./ZG 52 2 1 1 A2 + AK I./ZG 52 2 1 2 A2 + BK I./ZG 52 2 1 3 A2 + CK I./ZG 52 2 1 4 A2 + DK I./ZG 52 2 2 1 A2 + EK I./ZG 52 2 2 2 A2 + FK I./ZG 52 2 2 3 A2 + GK I./ZG 52 2 2 4 A2 + EK Does that help? Staffel is equivalent to Squadron me thinks? link

Correct Friar, but there's nothing wrong with people ending up being member of the DangerDogz... is there?

Good show!

It does make some noise, but no, it rumbles/shakes more than it makes noise. It is designed to be bolted to furniture... Basically, it is of the same construction of a normal speaker, but instead of it moving a piece of thin cloth/speaker-paper, it moves a big chunk of metal, and that movement creates the shakes...

Using one of these, bolted to a wooden chair (a homebuilt one). The thing is connected to the bass output of a 5.1 speaker set, via a dedicated 100W amplifier ... works fine. Feels good, adds something to the immersion. (Won't work for sure when I am using headphones for main sound, for sure...) It rumbles on the low game sounds, so yes, on the guns, on the engines ... on big explosions... (Sorry for the big image, couldn't find any smaller one... the real thing is about 14cm across...) The only issues I've had was in the overheat department, if used too long, too loud, some woodburn can be smelt, and basically, a heated seat... next, the thing itself burnt out... no flames, just technically I mean. (I have one spare left, for sure!)

Hi Fritzl, To get your IL2 1946 up to the latest version, the way OverDhill suggested will work. As in: It will result in an IL2 1946 installation with which you can play online with the DD's. So, 4.12.2m, including the latest HSFX7.01 (It may lack in some skins, speech files or mission files. If you also want to do offline campaigns and do not want to miss any content, then you'll have to take a different route... I have tried it, starting with 1946 4.07m, then ran ChkMods, it works) First, backup either the entire 1946 folder, or at least Conf.ini and the Users folder. Then, follow the instructions in the thread OverDHill mentioned. It will need to download a lot of files, in total some 7 to 8GB of data, how that will work out will depend on the speed and quality of your internet connection... (As the amount of data is large, as well as the amount of files, it will probably not make it in one go. Simply restart ChkMods, and let it Verify and fix repeatedly... until it states no errors found) Good Luck!
