No takers on the traceroute? -
Is CombatAce homepage slow in the last days?
Erik replied to Gepard's topic in Site Support / Bug Reports / Suggestions
Data center is asking for trace routes from all your machines to us. Post them here or send them to me via PM. DC claims the issue was resolved earlier today but if their upstream is still having issues they need detailed reports. -

Erik replied to Gepard's topic in Site Support / Bug Reports / Suggestions
There's something going on with the routes overseas but it's out of our control and our data center's control. The data center knows about it, but they are helpless to do anything as it has to do with long haul fiber carries. Remind me in a week if it hasn't improved and I'll bug them again. Until then sorry about the load time. E -
Y'all are a bunch of newbies, fresh as a baby's backside. Thanks for sticking around so long, not sure where the time has gone. Cheers

Makes you wonder if a Tinder profile seeking women whose prior husbands owned a CNC Machine and it's gathering dust in the workshop would get any traction. I mean the number can never be zero right?

With a little desire, a few miscellaneous items, a 3D printer, a CNC machine, a room dedicated to your new build, and a fresh divorce you too can build your dream. Trying to be helpful of course. https://openhornet.com/

HELP cant access CombatACE NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID
Erik replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Thanks for the notes, you can all breathe now. Our security certificate expired and needed to be renewed. I would have done it sooner, but we needed to change providers, and I couldn't begin the process until today. If you have an issue accessing our site, you have a stale SSL Certificate. To fix it, clear your browser cache, restart your browser, and re-open the site.- 16 replies

Sorry for my late reply, I'm doing a bit of traveling and access to the internet has been far and few between even now I'm having to proxy around the globe to get back to the USA. Isn't 2024 fun? Rhetorical question. Anyway, we don't offer any auto renewing subscriptions. You must manually approve every subscription before it is deducted or charged to you. I do this because I don't want to have any complaints about auto renewing subscriptions. In your case you had generated two invoices for the trial membership and they were both unpaid. I have removed them both from your account. You can verify this by clicking on the "Store" tab > Manage Purchases, your page should be blank. You can start a new purchase at any time but if you stop in the middle of purchasing a subscription go to the Manage Purchases tab to resume instead of starting a new purchase. I hope that makes sense. If there's any issues you can always contact me directly or here on the forums like you did. Erik

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Erik replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
It's safe to try if you make backup of the original ODS file, then put the other in place, and start the game to check. If you need to you can revert the file to its original. Additionally you could compare the files to see what's different between the two and then make a file by transferring in the hotas required parts only. There are comparison editors out there to download and use.- 231 replies

F-4K/M/J United Kingdom pack
Erik replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I would try using your home connection. The failed downloads I see are coming from a mobile network that you're using. I can do a lot of things but diagnose a mobile connection coming from Europe, not something that's going to happen. -
What was the name of the 'All inclusive' mod?

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Erik replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I'll try to walk you through this. 1. Download all four parts of the file. I put them on my desktop so it's easy for you to see, but you could put these files anywhere you want as long as they are in the same folder (directory) on a drive. 2. Make sure you have the latest version of 7zip installed. Go to https://www.7zip.com/ and download what you need. Install or update as necessary. 3. Make sure you have all the required Thirdwire Strikefighters 2 games installed and patched correctly. 4. Go to the directory where you put the downloads. For this instruction set they are on my desktop, I can move the install files after I've installed the mod. Right click the main file ODS_30AE.zip and choose to Extract to "ODS_30AE\" ** NOTE ** My right click menus look like Win7 on a Win11 machine because I hated the new right click menus in Win11. Your Windows will not look the same as mine but should function the same. 5. You should now get a new folder called "ODS_30AE" in your directory or desktop like my example. 6. Double left click that folder to open it. You will get a view of the contents in the file explorer window. 7. Right click the ODS_30AE.ISO file. From the menu that appears you can you do two things. Mount the ISO which we will do in this example or Burn the ISO to a CD like we used to do in the old days. 8. Select "Mount" and you will see that your computer mounts the ISO just like it's a new drive on your computer. For me it appears as new DVD Drive (F:) Operation Desert Storm 9. Double left click the "installer.exe" and follow the onscreen instructions. 10. When you're done installing you will need to unmount the file. Open the file explorer window where you double clicked the installer.exe file. On the left right click "DVD Drive (F): Operation Desert Storm" and chose "Eject" 11. Now you can move the files anywhere you want for safekeeping. **Note we did nothing with the files ODS_30AE.z01, ODS_30AE.z02, ODS_30AE.z03. The installer needs those files but you don't need to do anything with them other than have them in the directory where the main download file is. I'm sure someone will do this differently than I do and if I need to update my instructions I can, just let me know. Be nice I'm not much of a computer guy. And just as I finish this tutorial you got it to work. Glad you were part of the 95% and the installer is fine, which I suspected. E- 231 replies

I know this book. Your conclusions were all wrong TKE1028man. @Trotski acted stupidly. Bonus points if you can name the movie.

Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition
Erik replied to Menrva's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
Lower your settings to the lowest setting possible, even if your machine should be able to handle it. Play the mod at the lowest settings and see if it CTD. If it does not, then the engine is overloaded at the higher settings. This can be from things like selecting the wrong video card in the settings or selecting auto for some of the settings. There are very few issues with the mod, 95% end up being user error. Since this is an ISO file I don't know if there's a readme in the folder, I haven't looked, knowing @Menrva it's there. All the things that would be in the readme are in the mod description including the potential fixes for some issues. I suggest you start there and read it thoroughly, this is just a snippet of the text. After all these years I still have no idea why these support topics are posted in the file announcement or in the comment section of the file. We have a perfectly good place to keep all the support tickets if we could get everyone to use it. Go to the file on the right big green button it says, "Get Support" which is a slight bit under the "Download File" button. E- 231 replies

A few tips for Brits travelling to Germany for the European Championships
Erik replied to Gepard's topic in The Pub
I didn't think the Brits were allowed out to play after Aussies ranked above them in Cricket this year -
Didn't the tests back in the 1960's with the X-15 generate temperatures greater than 1,200°F in their airframe tests at mach 6? Not sure there'd be people standing in the wings unless they were skeletal charcoal remains.

What variants of the AIM-9 were in service in the Middle East countries in 70s?
Erik replied to CopperminE's topic in Military and General Aviation
The DTIC has some released information here: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA398882 and the associated research report is here: ADA398882.pdf Just a start but like @daddyairplanes said you'll have to break the query down into smaller pieces to get anywhere. The likelihood of finding all middle east countries in one research paper or KB is very slim. -
Question
Erik replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
@Menrva The ODS30AE's file description has a hard link set to an attachment in your "attachments". Since the people clicking on that link are not you there's a credentials problem. Other people can't see, download, or use attachments that belong to you. My suggestion is to attach that file somewhere public like a forum post then it would be available, or you could add the hotfix into the downloads which is the best solution. -
I've been using WinGet to update all the programs installed on my Windows machine for about a year now. It's an amazing way to keep all your software updated in one simple to use command. Open a command line and type "winget list --all" to see a list of the programs WinGet can update for you. Type "winget upgrade --all" to upgrade all the packages available. For more details on how to use WinGet I highly suggest using the help menu or the man pages online. Use this at your risk and I highly suggest reviewing upgrade packages for ones you don't want to upgrade. In my case I don't have any so using the upgrade --all command works but you could just as easily install singular packages without having to scour the internet for updates. Oh, and it's January 1st, 2024, don't forget to back up your data.
