Looking in from a distance and remembering those long trips with the parents when I was a kid the "few sleeps" is starting to sound like are we there yet?

@Becker04 You contacted me about site features but it appears you have another need. Tell me what you need and I'll figure out a way to accommodate it. My answer was generic because I thought it was just a simple question but now I see otherwise. I don't read everything and I don't know everyone personally but I try. Erik

The Mark 4 Mod. 0 HIPEG 20mm gun was the USN version of the USAF SUU-16 / SUU-23. It wasn't used very often in the Vietnam War with the exception of the VAL-4 "Black Ponies" squadron they liked and regularly outfitted it for use on their OV-10 Broncos. The USMC later put the Mark 4 on A-4 Skyhawks, A-6 Intruders, and F-4 Phantoms for close air support. There is also a modified version with different fairings and spent shell chute that was found on the H-34 helicopter. The Mark 4 Mod. 0 (MN 10121a) The GPU-2/A.

You had a couple accounts so the system automatically uses the last created account and merges the old account. If you'd like something better like mandrews_621 then submit a support ticket and someone will change it for you.

I definitely missed you guys, glad we could help just by keeping the lights on. Mi casa es su casa.

You can also manage your attachments if your space is full by removing older ones. https://combatace.com/attachments/ You can make full use of our gallery as well. Photos in the gallery can be linked directly into your posts. Yes it's more cumbersome but there's no limit on space. VonS is right though your allotted space you can use on disk is defined by your account. The higher level accounts have more space and more perks.

Everyone can feel free to utilize the resources that are here. If you'd like to move something over then be all means go ahead. If we need to create another forum listing for that stuff I'm happy to do it. Just let me know what you need. Additionally if anyone runs into issues logging in because you've been away for a long time, submit a support ticket and I'll help you directly. I would recommend that everyone makes sure their email addresses are up to date. https://combatace.com/settings/ A new addition to our system is an automated system that notifies members of outdated email accounts because we've received a bounce. It will suspend old accounts with bad email addresses so make sure they are updated. Additionally you can change your notification settings in your account settings panel. Thanks

Speaking technically and in general so as to not to take the wind from the devs, moving specific content is not possible, that I am aware of. A forum board like this one is many pieces so you can't pick pieces out of the whole and move them. The whole can be moved as a whole but it can't be separated or merged with another whole. Users can recreate content by copy paste but it's never really the same.

What you really want is for your OS to be on the SSD along with the game files. That will provide you the smoothest game play in any situation. If your SDD is the same size as your HDD then you can just transfer the entire disk image from the HDD to the SDD. Here's a helpful guide: https://mobiletrans.wondershare.com/how-to/transfer-os-to-ssd.html

Hi, Your renewal is approved. Afterhours subscription purchases that are flagged for review get approved the next morning. Sorry for the delay, thank you for the support. E

This is Chicago to Chicago traffic with two hops on Telia local between us. You might as well be sitting on our front porch if you're that close to us physically. There's no reason you'd be having issues with that kind of hop time. The two routers at positions 3 and 9 aren't seen because they are primary routers not answering to ICMP overhead. Here's what I'd try first: Restart your modem and any switches or WiFi devices, then restart your machine. Once you've done that test again if the problem persists call your tech support and see if you can get to someone who can look at your connectivity and modem settings to determine there's no service level issues. If the problem persists can you try a different machine or device? Let me know the outcome.

I can help diagnose your connection, though what Menrva said may be true, you may have to contact your provider to get complete assistance. When I look at your ip from our headend it appears to be a stable connection from us to you: --- your.ip.address.masked ping statistics --- 43 packets transmitted, 43 received, 0% packet loss, time 42164ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 18.619/50.367/122.327/29.530 ms I could not complete a traceroute back to you because of security protocols set by your provider for inbound traffic, this is normal. Please provide me with a traceroute back to us. To do this type: Win+X keys then select Windows PowerShell or Command you should get a blue or black window that opens up. At the command prompt type the following: tracert combatace.com + [Enter] then paste the results here. Thanks

Your renewal is fine it just hadn't been approved yet. We require a verification step now on all payments because we've had individuals abuse the system. You should be good to go. Thanks for the heads-up. E

@cood posted this to the ticket support system, I have no idea what it means. Can someone help me understand? Thank you.

Believe it or not I'm not seeing any issues in the logs which means it's outside the connection to the file server. Can you guys send me full trace routes to combatace.com in a PM? Its not uncommon to get a bottleneck in a router in the middle somewhere but due to BGP routing we can't decide those routes. Let me know when you have details. Thanks.

Our traffic has been slammed with the release of ODS 30 AE. I'll have a look after dinner, it's most likely congestion.

Best half hour I've spent in a long time, thank you!

Yesterday in the United States 4,112 people died from COVID19. This brings the death toll from COVID19 in the United States to 365,000 people making it the third largest death event in our history behind AIDS and the Spanish Flu. On 9/11/2001 when the World Trade Center buildings fell we lost 2,996 lives, so the United States is having a 9/11 +1000 more deaths per day on a daily basis. With all that's going on with recent events dominating the news cycle, it's important to remember those who were lost. Around the globe in every great nation this story is being told time and time again. Let's not forget any of our loved ones and take a moment to say a prayer for anyone who's lives have been changed forever by COVID19.

Something to remember, SARS-COV-2 is the VIRUS and COVID-19 is the DISEASE. We spread and are infected with SARS-COV-2 which then develops into COVID-19 exactly like being infected with HIV which then develops into AIDS. Like all diseases we never know if we've cured them or simply pushed them into remission. Remission is the likely stage that people get to when they return to some type of health, similar to having AIDS or even cancer. That's why it is so important to not get infected with the VIRUS SARS-COV-2 in the first place. I wish our government had drilled this fact home for the non-maskers and led with truth and knowledge not the subversion, masking, and lies we got. I argue they are complicit in every single death from COVID-19 to date in the US and other nations. The long term affects after people have COVID-19 is known as Long Hauler Syndrome and it's causing all kinds of problems in the vascular system and within organs of the body. Blood clots, heart issues, lung issues, and kidney issues have all been reported so it's important to monitor your health after being ill and to take the time to recover even if that's months.

I don't see a Salamander anywhere in the download section and removals from the archive are rare. E

What antivurus security suite are you running? Have you downloaded Firefox and installed that? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

Original Report: Google Chrome Download Failing with Error, "Failed- Insufficient Permissions" I generally don't help with computer configuration issues because they are too vast to guess at without the machine being physically present, but I'll try The error message "Failed- Insufficient Permissions" when downloading is a permissions issue and happens on any site or any file. The cause is most likely due to an antivirus or security suite running on your machine which has changed folder permissions. Please follow along and report if you're unable to complete a step. OPEN GOOGLE CHROME Select the Top Right "3 Dot" Menu Button > Click Settings - Your Chrome Settings Page will open. -or- (Tap Alt Tap Spacebar to open Menu) In the Top SEARCH Field next to the eyeglass type "download". In the result below look toward the bottom of the page and Chrome will show "Location" followed by the folder. For our example we will use C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\Downloads" make note of this location, you may edit that location by clicking edit now but make note of the new location when you're done. OPEN WINDOWS EXPLORER Windows Button + E In the TOP address bar, that shows your current location where Explorer opened, place your mouse in a blank area of address box and left click in it Now type the CHROME DOWNLOAD LOCATION that you made note of in Part 1:2 Above (C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop\Downloads) but leave off the last folder "Downloads". For our example we would type in the address bar C:\Users\MyUser\Desktop + Enter Scroll down the folders that appears until you find the final folder "Downloads" + Right Click and Select Properties (A Properties Window will pop up) IN PROPERTIES WINDOW > Select "Security" > Under Group or User Name left click your user to highlight + Edit for the Edit Screen. (In our Example we would use "MyUser" + Edit) IN SECURITY WINDOW > Select SYSTEM > Verify the SYSTEM is set to "Allow" in all actions and save if necessary or don't change if already set. IN SECURITY WINDOW > Select Your User > Verify the Your User is set to "Allow" in all actions and save if necessary or don't change if already set. (This is where I suspect your settings will differ) Finally check the Administrators permissions the same as you did above with Your User and System, change as necessary to allow. Save on Exit if you made changes to permissions or Cancel if you made no changes. ATTEMPT TO DOWNLOAD A FILE CLOSE OPEN WINDOWS + RESTART Open your browser and download something to verify the settings are correct. Report back when finished. If you decide to use another browser like Firefox or Microsoft Edge make sure their download location is set to the same location as your Chrome Location and you should be able to download in all your browser. If you decide to change your browser location repeat Step 2: OPEN WINDOWS EXPLORER over again for the new folder. Lastly I would check your security suite or antivirus there's probably a setting somewhere that is quarantining your download folder to prevent you from downloading unexpected malware on the internet. You can google how to disable that feature for your specific product and generally speaking it is in the "Internet Security" or "Browser Security" section of the software for what they call "safe internet browsing".

Hello and Happy Happy Holidays to everyone, I wanted to take a moment and wish you all a blessed holiday season with happiness and health for you and your family throughout the new year to come in 2021. It's times like these that we look back in amazement and disbelief of the times we're living in. 2020 was hard on everyone and if things could go wrong it went wrong in 2020 with Corona Virus and Politics being front and center here in the United States. We've now spent months away from family and friends in isolation as we have learned to live in our new normal. These are unprecedented times that I for one will never be happier to put behind us. 2020 was especially hard for businesses and I feel fortunate that CA survived for now. Over all our donations last year brought in $615 to offset operating costs, thank you to all who helped out. Our advertising dwindled to almost nothing, specifically we received 28% of what we made in 2019 for advertising income as advertisers ran from expenses and businesses failed. Our subscriptions saw the lowest year on record and our cost of doing business went up 9.5% in July as costs of failing businesses got passed on to those of us who remained. This was definitely the year not to remember yet still with all the horror and red ink we consider ourselves lucky to still be standing. Yes it was bad for CA but there are many of us who saw worse times this year. People stood in voting lines and food lines here in America during a pandemic for the first time ever. We lost loved ones around the globe as we were divided with fear and misinformation. Jobs and businesses were lost all over our countries leaving tomorrow uncertain for many but throughout it all in a weird way we found some humanity. We reached out and helped where we could and lifted lives and spirits, I hope that continues. In the spirit of giving this season CA will be donating to Feeding America, Covenant House BC, The Trussell Trust UK, Banques Alimentaires FR, Tafel Deutschland, Leket Israel, and UNICEF to help feed those who need the assistance this winter. I wish we could do more but we're hoping doing our small part contributing to the whole is what matters. Merry Christmas everyone, E

Science Magazine did a well written piece on Sunday and Time did another yesterday, both good reads. The problem to reacting the way we are to the UK is that it's too late. The scientists find and note mutations all the time, Coronavirus being the most thoroughly tracked virus ever, then the mutation is studied and watched until someone says look at this data. Then and finally then does the information leave the lab and get to someone who can make an alarming announcement that puts countries around the globe in fear mode but by then the virus has migrated to be found in countries outside the UK, yet none of the blocks were on those countries. My point being is that back in July or September when the mutation was found if someone had said hey this is of notable concern and they reacted like this so it wouldn't escape the region, then kudos, but they did not. So really any reaction we make at this point in time is putting the road apples back in the horse. Thank God the country wasn't out of bacon or tea. The resulting riots could have brought the UK back to anarchy. Stay healthy. E
