FoolTrottel

The logfiles show he ran it succesfully earlier today ...

What version does it say it's running, in the splash screen? Still 4.08m I guess? Looks to me you are doing the right things in the correct order... The fact it still asks for the disk is normal, as you installed from the DVD with Securom on it. You will be needing a special .exe to fix that.

I'm just gonna install it over an existing 4.08m switchable to 4.09m installation. Me thinks that should work. But, I'm currently still waiting for my Torrent to finish... for the last hour, it's been 99.9% complete... waiting for 16.384 bytes, yes BYTES!

Cool, the Torrent kicked in, 50kb/sec now...

KICK IT! Now! Please... Even the Torrent aint working for me....

26kb/s? That's fast... I'm at 8...

Server called 'simfreaks'... 87.154.121.254, 4.09m... it's empty, you won't be bothering anyone.

Wait, I can retrieve the IP of a HL server in a minute, you should be able to connect to that one w/o issues. I'll pick a 4.09m MOD friendly one... hold on

I could setup a host, but I'd have to open my Router first... that'd be a first for me... lol

When you're not hosting, there should be no IP address in that section at all. Just empty values, like this: remoteHost= socksHost= localHost=

Can only think of one thing: Check conf.ini [Net] section, you're using a different (local) IP address now than before, at home. Maybe the old address is still listed somewhere in there?

As long as they stay in the dating phase, and never get to reproduce themselves...

Thanks for sharing this...

Too bad... But, a fresh install is always a good thing... nice & clean...

What if you try that fix once more? If it helps, you just keep applying it whenever the issue occurs... Or maybe put it in your Start Menu, Startup section... it will then run each and every time you boot the computer.

For the gunner automation: Assign a key to 'toggle level autopilot' (in controls), use the key in flight, the message 'Autopilot automation off' will appear and it's fixed. With 'Autopilot automation' switched 'on' the autopilot will switch to ON when you leave a station, and switch it OFF for te station you are going to. It will also switch autopilot OFF when you return to the cockpit from external view. If 'Autopilot automation' is off, it just does nothing. Well, apart from all other stations having autopilot ON at the start, and you needing to switch it off yourself (and back on) hopping in and out of stations... As for the skins... no idea...

As for the laptop, you can try and perform a kinda power-unit-reset this way: - Unplug the power from the laptop. - Remove the battery from the laptop. Press-and-hold the laptop's Power button for some 10 seconds. (Yes, this may look silly, but it's a normal procedure... well, for HP laptops anyways... ) It might help... Then again, it could just be broken you know... both of 'm could... loose wire? Or bad battery...

Sure, you can put it there. But better make double sure you document nicely what it is for, and when it should be used. So not everyone with just a sound card issue will try and download it... it's rather specific... Edit: Better yet, attach it here first, I'd like to have a look at it, to see what it does...

Upon researching I found a terribly disturbing fact, one that makes me think this FL-Duxford must be a HOAX! From the IWM website: But then my mind strolled away, and came up with this solution, we could be assisting eachother: (Turn up the volume, lyrics are spot on, and it is a brilliant piece of music) Iggy Pop - I Wanna Be Your Dog

Put me down as 'Prospective' please. Currently GooglingEarthing on what it's like there... Investigating how to get there. And if I make it there, it's gonna be them 3 days, and possibly two more, thursday to assimilate, monday to dessimilate
