Provocateur ... One has to try sómething, it's way too quiet 'round here!

Pfft... me thinks one's not much of a photographer if one needs tools like that!

Number of sub-missions is now 84. And, I've reverted the change on icon and map settings for the European server, as it was observerd lotsa pilots went to the 'merican server... (It'll be a piece of cake to switch them back on once we are on... )

Got my hands on this set today, it's been in the shop for years, I think over 20 years.... the base/background has lost nearly all of its green colours... The BBMF Scaled 1/144Th: The yellowish plastic stuff can be removed, the Lanc is already on a stand, the Spit and Hurrie can be mounted on theirs. As I do not have any room to display them, I will keep them boxed up, and bring 'm to England in July. They might make a nice fit in the dispersal hut, or, yes, maybe they are too small for that one...

Five new submissions (mostly derived from existing ones), edited other missions so some fighter cover is higher up there...

Well, we could always load up some old DVD's in 4:3 and watch those... sitting on the couch at home, seatbelts fastened... lol No, it's bad... too bad. How far can we stretch it? At some time, will we all be wearing a device that re-oxyginizes our blood, so we do not need to breath anymore, as to not breath in any filth so our loungs will stay nice and healthy...

Pictures of Paintings of Planes... In the shop where my bridge is on display, there's also some paintings of aircraft. Me thinks the paintings are like 60x80cm's .... All three made by a local painter... just a hobby. (He also made one with Mitchells on a bombing run over my hometown, trying to hit the bridge... emphasis on 'trying')

As of now - well, some 20 hrs ago - the European server is running without a/c icons, and without icons on the map!

Thanks for the message YR-DAN! No worries about the language, all is clear! Good to see you like it!

Okay, new stuff on the bridge: Facebook link Video! Pictures:

It's about the Keyboard part that is relevant here, not the Language setting as such... At the moment, I am running English UK for language, and United states International on the keyboard. You can switch the language setting with a key strok: Windows key + Space Maybe that's how it changed for you?

It coulda mighta woulda... We currently have 2400 coop missions, of which a good portion we have not even flown once... And, yes you can add hundreds of 'new' aircraft, and new objects and whatever stuff... who's gonna build the missions with all the new stuff in it that 'we people' can join?

So, this happened a few times with the F16... And nobody ever got hurt. Makes me doubt whether it's as good a weapon as they claim it is....

It does. Fast start needs the hibernation file to work, and by switching off hibernation, the hibernation file gets removed...

When using Windows 10, you may find that after a fresh boot of the computer, the order of the Game Controllers has suddenly changed. You will find that your controls are not assigned the way they used to be... The cause of this appears to be the 'fast start' option, it is new in Windows 10. And, by default, after installing Windows 10 it is switched on. So, switch it off! How? Simplest of ways is by disabling 'Hibernation', as most of us are using desktops and have no need/use for hibernation. Switching it off, also gains you some space on the system disk, side of some 75% of your computers RAM memory. Right click the Windows icon bottom left in the taskbar. Select 'Command Prompt (Admin)' from the menu. In the dosbox that now appears, type the following command: powercfg /h off (It will return no messages, if it does, you've made a typo, or have not started the command prompt as an administrator.) Next, type the command: exit All done!

Press left alt and hold it, right click on the window, select 'Close custom window' ... or something quite like that

Nice find! Weird stuff...

Here's a thing to try - it can be a bit tricky though - go to Device Manager, Network adapters. Right click your network adapter and choose uninstall. If it asks you to remove the driver files as well, then do not let it do that. After removing the adapter, go Start, Shutdown, Restart. Upon restarting, windows will discover the network adapter automatically, and install the driver files. This will reset your network adapter and its settings, it may help, not sure if it will ... It can be a tricky thing, depending on your hardware, and on the currently installed driver - it may not be able to reinstall it, leaving you without network and thus internet connection. So better only try if you are sure about the risk, have the knowledge to fix it yourself, or have someone nearby that can help. (Well, usually, this all works fine... but ... well...) In game, Cable, xDSL should be good...

You happen to know whether the Ping values are as before? Weird stuff... Tried resetting your router? Is this on Windows 10?

Are you connecting to the same server all the time? Have you tried other servers, and if so, is it similar? I find that every now and then, it does get slow to connect... not very often. You could try and clear the cache: delete all files in My Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD\cache

Had not seen it before, it's a nice article, nice read: Spitfire shot down over Salisbury Plain (...)

Found these, created them some twenty odd years ago... From left to right a VW aircooled boxer engine, a bottle of whine and a bottle of Coke, and a portable computer, with mouse! In the front, one speed-skate ... I should have put something in the picture for size comparison, but the height and with of the engine is about 5cm ie. 2 inch.

Hm, I should try and do similar with my hometown... Thanks for this dizzy! (Arnhem is only 35km SW up river from where I live...)
