Greetings All, I was wondering if anybody has this issue. When ever I stop playing Strike Fighters P-1 or Wings over Vietnam or Wings over Europe, my screen saver gets turned off. It doesn't happens when I play IL-2 1946 or Lock On. Does anyone have this same situation? Best Regards, Sora

A BIG MAHALO! ( Thankyou ) MK2

Greetings, I've downloaded this program but cannot identify the sound file. Please excuess my ignorance but could you name the sound file for me? Thankyou.

Here you go sir. http://www.zur-tech.com/default.htm Enjoy the flight, I know I do. It's not fully completed yet.

Thanks Fubar512, that did the trick. Best Regards.........Sora

Greetings all, I just had my computer fixed and noticed that the Column 5 website now does not show the forums,downloads, etc. at the top of the page. Do you think my computer was modified in any way by the PC-doctor or is the website temperary down for maintenence? My puter was in the shop for about two and a half weeks so any info on this will be greatly apreciated, thanks. Sora

Thanks for your help anyway Tristan. I'll keep plugging at it. Sooner or later I've got to get it right,lol. Best Regards....Sora

I think I'll just wait for your program Tristan. I checked with the knowledge base and I just can't seem to get the skins working. Sorry I took so long for a reply, my PC just came back from the shop. Been doing some reading but its like a first grader is reading college level material,lol. Best Regards, Sora

No apalogies need here Tristan. I'm just gratefull for your help. If I'm gonna learn this, I'd better learn all I can about this sim, long way, short way, anyway.lol You may be right about the downloading thing, my rig ( computer ) will be going into the shop sometime this week. They will probably have it for about a week so if you don't see my responses, you know where I am. I have downloaded the patches from Third Wire website. Patches: 051506 & 071006 in that order. I'll look into 7-zip and try it out ( thanks for the address by the way ). I'll keep experimenting with the skins as soon as I get my rig ( computer ) back from the shop. It's passed due for a physical anyway. @ capun: I'll do somemore reading on this ( thanks for the link ). As a wise man once said: The Ox ( me ) is slow, but the Earth ( C.A. Forum Members ) is patient. Salute, Sora

Sorry for the late reply gentleman ( work and all, yuk! ). I've been downloading some skins from this sight and something strange is happening. I don't see the config. files when I open it. Some file's I've downloaded even has a strange one with all jiberish lettering in capitol letters. Is the zip file ( using windows zip ) I'm using the correct one? I know of some websites you have to download a RAR program to download there files. Thankyou for taking the time Tristan and Capun, I apreciate your patience and understanding here. If I understand this right, theres an SP4 program? Where have I been ( duh? ). @ Tristan- it's perfectly ok for me to learn your way too. Any help here is so greatly apreciated truly. Thanks again. Sora

Thanks for taking the time to advise me on this Tristan, here we go........ I'm gonna use the A-4B aircraft. I see three files that looks like a note pad with a gear next to it. 1st file: A-4B 2nd file: A-4B_DATA 3rd file: A-4B_LOADOUT I'm thinking it's the first file. Cause when I look inside it, there is a listing and came across the [TextureSet] So far so good,lol.

Adding pre made skins to current aircraft.

Greetings all, I have been reading the instructions on changing the paint job on an aircraft. But I'm afraid that topic just flew right over my head,lol. ( pardon the pun ) Maybe I have missed a few topics on this but it seems that the one's I've read are a little too, you could say complicated ( I have a very simple mind, or computer illiterate ). Files like ini,exe,CAT look foriegn to me. Is there a topic on skinning that is really easy to understand? Please excuse my ignorance. I knew I should have paid attention in school way back when,lol. Thankyou.

Greetings all, Just wanna tell ya that I think this sim is just super. I've been flying props for awhile now and let me tell ya this sim rocks. It's a whole new ballgame. For the people involved in making the add-on's,skins,terrains,etc. My hat's off to you. Well I got alot of reading to do and catching up. Also THANKS TO ALL who put up web links to this game. I know I can get alot of information there to help me out ( comes in really handy ). Keep up the awesome work! Best Regards..................Sora
