Happy Birthday Toad!

Thanks for that Arthur! (Yeah, well... "if."... in Sept '44, ... if they had landed their paratroopers directly near Arnhem bridge instead of miles from it... ) Oh well... it's all like water-bridge now aint 'it?

From april 29th to May 8th 1945, allied bombers dropped food parcels over the then still German occupied part of the Netherlands... (Converted from 8mm film, no audio.)

Thanks Sir, and U 2! I'll be mostly at home... I hope... and basically do nothing... have no plans for this weekend... might do something unplanned, but that's about all ...

Does run much better on a 64bit OS/DX10, indeed! Still did see errors like this in the log: System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception.

Me thinks it's time to have some standard procedure for this. Not something as simple as it is now. There should be more to it. A questionnaire perhaps. A simple one, but still one. Something like: 1. Why do you like sheep? A. Less than a dozen B. Nearly a dozen C. A dozen C. More than a dozen 2. What is your age? A. Yes B. No C. Maybe Yeah, way too silly, sorry. We're all welcome, everyone of us!

Basically? Yes.

Still, a big'un ...

Carp, now that's a big'un!

Thanks Roger, 2003 indeed did not work, couldn't even install video drivers for it Looked at that 2k8r2 trial option... downloading it will take some 7 hours... I'd better browse the disks I got at work tomorrow for something suitable to try...

(Hm, cause I cannot get my hands on anything else right now, I'm installing Windows 2003 Server - standard ... see what that does ;-)

+1 -1 Do buy it... it'll be the only chance of it ever getting much better... what technical state it is in now, I can't tell... but I can tell there's still lots of work to be done. Lots! And they can only do it if it sells sufficiently... Basically, try and see it this way: here's a chance for us all to support the team that has given us so much in the past years... reward them for it... and if they get sufficiently rewarded, we might get some more out of it as well...

Hm, yeah, but... they shouldn't say it would run on it... Same things still happen after the update (13954), and no change in FPS...

XP here, and having Clod running with some issues. Crashes. Lock ups. That Beta patch has halved the otherwise acceptable FPS... Have attached contents of Log.Txt, interesting messages in there... The result of simply starting op the London Attack, Ju88, activating Autopilot immediately when in cockpit. Org log.txt

Hello ...

Wow, very beautiful... thanks for posting that!

Can someone invite me please? fooltrottel is my id, no caps...

Welcome back Dino!

(I'm not giving mod advice, I'm just protecting a perfectly fine vanilla 4.10.1m installation )

You're completely right there Trib, except... well... I was afraid 'Bail Bail Bail' wouldn't work, as it would probably cause his Ms-Outlook to open ... Look silly? No way. Not as long as TS hasn't got the webcam integration and we're all using that... And if so, then... nothing special would have to happen... we'd all look as silly as we are all of the time...

Whatever you do regarding UP, do not do it on/with that 4.10.1m installation of yours! To get UltraPack 2.01 running, you will need to start with a fresh 4.09m installation. 1.First you create a backup copy of 4.10.1m. Copy the whole folder to a different folder. Name that new folder 'Backup1946-4.10.1m'. 2. Next you need to install 1946 and patch it up to 4.09m, in a seperate folder. Name the folder '1946UP2.01' or similar, so it's easy to recognize. Installing it from DVD might result into you loosing 4.10.1m, as it will probably want to un-install it. That's why you've created that backup of 4.10.1m folder! (You could try and prevent that un-install from being really succesfull, by renaming the original 'IL-2 Sturmovik 1946' folder to something else, like '1946 4.10.1m', before you run the install from DVD) 3. After 1946 has installed from DVD, copy the file conf.ini and the folder 'users' from the backup copy folder ('Backup1946-4.10.1m) to the new installation. (in folder '1946UP2.01') See if it will start. If it does, patch it up to 4.08m and 4.09m. 4. Create a backup copy of that 4.09m installation, before you take the next step. 5. Then do as Toad suggests in this topic (Unzip that UpUpdater stuff to the 1946UP2.01 folder, run it from there.) 6. After that has completed, you will need to create some new shortcuts to start the game... (Right click the file IL2fb.exe in each game-folder, choose Send To, Desktop (create shortcut). Rename each shortcut (select icon, press F2) to the version it's pointing to... Also create a shortcut to 1946UP2.01\jsgme.exe. Thats basically the "easiest" way to do it, though you can speed the process up considerably by skipping the 'create backup' items, but I would advise against doing so. But, wait for others' suggestions, I just woke up....

I'd think it'd be cool for us to shout 'Eject Eject Eject' over teamspeak, your speakers will make you voice recognition pick up the command and next ...

Initially, I read this as 'lead' [led], as in the soft heavy metal... now that'd be cool... "For the aircraft in the gunsight to be destroyed, you will need to put 76lbs of lead into the right or left wingroot ..."

I sure do hope you're remembering this incorrectly... an Nvidia 6200 has never cost over EUR 40.00, maybe 50.00, max! It's truly a low-budget card, has always been, and still is...
