  1. No need to buy it, just need to request a secondary account, on the email account Rog just created. It's all cool ...
  2. Hi FoolTrottel, Thank you for your donation of $11.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks DangerDogz Forum
  3. The issue is that Coop missions are run using the server as a host. Now if a coop runs, and people join or get killed along the way, they have to sit and wait it out - they could become a spectator, but not a participator. Now as I use Easy mission Generator to create coops on the fly, the coop mission can be a bit lengthy - up to 20-30 minutes. It would be good to have a simple DF server running next to the current one, on which the peeps waiting can have some flying fun. Hm, theoretically, our server should be able to handle the load indeed, but one would need a secondary account to run the server on. One cannot have two servers up at the same time using our DD account. So, I have tried to request a secondary account, but that was denied. Unless I did it the wrong way, I should maybe try again. And run 2x Dserver on our box. Great idea Rog, thanks! (Oh, and good to see you around here!)
  4. In the load out screen, there's a tab, to the right of the Skins one, me thinks you need to enable/select it there?
  5. Agreed!
  6. Would you really be able to tell the difference in speed? I'd say keep it simple. Adding an adapter PCI-e to M.2? I dunno, I would not even try that ... 😎
  7. Why not use Sata SSD?
  8. (...)\Saved Games\DCS\Mods\aircraft\A-4E-C that's where I got it. Folder A-4E-C contents look like this:
  9. Nice ... ! He caught my landing in full view at the end of the video... glad it did not end in a broken Spit ... lol
  10. Create a MODS folder in the root folder of the game, ie. the folder that has subfolders bin, data and Update in there, and JSGME.exe as well.
  11. Sure can do. Well, if you can get your hands on da mission file da is ... and send it over to me ...
  12. Today's mission, low level on our way to France ... Do note the altimeter, I did set it to zero on T/O ...

    Never knew/realized it was you that lured him into our group Todd! Thanks for doing that ... not just for us, but mainly for him! And thanks for sharing these messages ...
  17. Thank You! ChkSkins users: delete the file from your skins folder, then run ChkSkins to download the later version ... (yeah, there's no version / date-time check in ChkSkins, so .. too bad ...)
  18. From today's mission, it started early morning On our way back ...
  19. Fixed now!
  20. Downloaded it, and used ChkSkin to make it available to others ...
  21. Oh my... Today, we took part in another one of the missions in this campaign. And... this really is something different, and something very special. Is it hard? No, not really, but you need to be focused. And stay focused. And get the job done. This one mission, this was a sweep/recce over France, North of Paris. And we did sweep and recce. Over France. As we did not come across any enemy aircraft during our designated route, we attacked ground targets, where at some point, White leader (the one leading our section: Fenrir, Wingflyr, Painless and FT) decided to fly over the target and draw flak, so Red section could attack it. And yes, rather unhappy being number four, like WTF! But, as it's your job, you go and do so. Somehow, we all four got out of that kinda okay. And next, even made some attack runs ourselves. Now as I forgot to switch to the slipper tank on the way in, and only did that after the French coast had been in sight for a while, I was the first one to call out an RTB due to fuel state. Way too late mind you, cause I had the English coast in sight with like 2 Gallons remaining. I did not make it back, as I also had a different kind of liquid related emergency, and I had to be away from the controls for a bit, and my Spitfire wasn't trimmed as well as I had hoped it would be, so I ended up in the drink... all dead and shift. One out of seven Spitfire pilots one had to bale out due to fuel, one crash landed in a field on the Isle of Wight ... the others made it back, and all were low on fuel. Mind you, some ground targets were destroyed ... but in this stuff, it's not about the kills ... it's all bout the experience. The immersion. A huge difference from our GBS sessions - where we think 45 minutes is a long mission? Well... this one took two hours. But due to the environment, the setup, the immersion, you do not notice that, you do not feel it. After I was done for, I looked at the clock, and was like... eeerrmmm .... What? Really? For sure one could argue GBS has better graphics, and looks better all around, and Cliffs has the Hurricane and the 110 (well, at some time at 20K over the channel today, somehow I wished I was in a docile and stable Hurricane in close formation - lol) and a flight model "feeling" a bit better, this DCS thing combined with the SRS radio module, and the discipline of radio silence just beats them. It really does. Mind you, I enjoyed Cliffs in several SOW missions, flying with our lot of Dogz, Fenrir talking to proper human operated ground control in really Big Missions defending Britain - and that was really awesome - immersion wise - somehow this is a step up from there... So, if you got DCS, and the Spitfire ... please think about joining in. Rumors state it won't be long now - the invasion is imminent - we get to fly Spits with beautiful black and white stripes on 'm. W00T!
  22. In the end, there are three options here: 1. ChkSkins full - all skins downloaded/uploaded, some 3700 at the moment, 40 GB 2. ChkSkins 4K - Limited to 1550 skins at the moment, 30GB 3. No ChkSkins The idea was to easily share skins ... and that has been achieved. In mission, I see a lot more custom skins than before. So, now remind me, where the problem is? If you think your free disk space gets too low, by all means, delete some, and do not run ChkSkins any more.
  23. Great idea Delta. I am working on setting up a secondary server, that can and will run the missions currently in rotation on our primary Dserver for GBS. On the other hand, we simply should get more people involved in hosting !! (As in do-it-all-them-selves, our get them into operating our dedicated server!)
