  1. Joe Baugher passed away

    DoctorQuest replied to daddyairplanes's topic in The Pub

    RIP. An amazing resource for a lot of different subjects. He will be missed.

  2. GOG (or Steam) EAW 1.2 or 1.28

    DoctorQuest replied to MarkEAW's topic in EAW - Support and Help

    GOG always gives you an options screen that allows you to specify the install folder.

  3. GOG (or Steam) EAW 1.2 or 1.28

    DoctorQuest replied to MarkEAW's topic in EAW - Support and Help

    Always GOG, at least to start with. I hate Steam DRM. I do know people complain that GOG does not keep stuff updated as well as Steam. I'm not sure that would be true with EAW as much as other games. My 2 cents.

  4. Avialogs is now free.

    DoctorQuest replied to KJakker's topic in The Pub

    This is fantastic. Thank you!

  5. Helicopter

    DoctorQuest replied to Falcon1364's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

    I've often wondered if thrust vectoring could be used to simulate a chopper. I can't believe I'm the first one to think of this. I just don't know enough about SF2 flight models to say for sure. Might be a retirement project for next year. :) It does feel like some choppers I've downloaded seem to do better than others. People make it sound like the YAP team or the A Team might have some secrets used for their helos.

  6. my SF2 got hijacked

    DoctorQuest replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

    Or keyboard?
  7. Oh. THOSE Republicans....... :) Very nice!

  8. RIP Snook

    DoctorQuest replied to dsawan's topic in The Pub

    My sincere condolences.

  9. Falcon 4 Microprose

    DoctorQuest replied to Dogzero1's topic in The Pub

    I'm going to make sure my latest version of BMS is backed up somewhere. If they try to improve the sim in the spirit of the original Falcon, more power to them. If they go the TW route and go all arcadey on me I will probably pass.
  10. I have the same issue with Win10 and SF1. It must be a directx issue. I don't have a good answer for you but I share your pain. SF2 runs like a bat outta hell as does FE2.
  11. Maybe one of the weapon packs? https://combatace.com/files/category/340-weapon-packs/

  12. Real life problem

    DoctorQuest replied to GKABS's topic in The Pub

    My sincere condolences. Family comes first.

  13. Graphics problem, hard to describe

    DoctorQuest replied to ThePony314's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2

    See screenshot. What do you have the various graphics options set to? "Unlimited" is an option but it takes some really beefy hardware to run that way. Like Migbuster said, try setting everything to LOW and see what happens.

  14. Graphics problem, hard to describe

    DoctorQuest replied to ThePony314's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2

    Age of the laptop? Is it overheating? You mention resolution. Are you running any graphic options at UNLIMITED? It sounds a lot like a card issue. IMHO.

  15. Install/Run Jetfighter IV: Fortress America on modern PCs?

    DoctorQuest replied to TheJetfighter's topic in The Pub

    No special software just Windows Boot Manager. Here is an article that can get you started. https://www.techadvisor.com/article/728246/how-to-dual-boot-windows.html There are plenty more examples out there in internet land.

  16. Install/Run Jetfighter IV: Fortress America on modern PCs?

    DoctorQuest replied to TheJetfighter's topic in The Pub

    Interesting project. I don't remember the preferred graphics driver for this? D3D? Glide? You may need to google around for a graphics wrapper depending on what graphics settings can be selected. For games like this I have a multiboot rig so I can run Win XP and Win 7 native rather than under a VM. Not sure if you have that option. Sorry I can't be more help at the moment.

  17. Lancer

    DoctorQuest replied to Shootingstar2's topic in The Pub

    Be vewy, vewy careful............................... ;)
  18. If I came off as overly critical I sincerely apologize. I do sympathize with the challenges of a small business. Thanks.
  19. Ok. I get it. Not really an intuitive drop-down with only one entry :) Thanks much for the clarification!
  20. I am having the same issue on both Chrome and Firefox. Some links work, some don't.

  21. Win10 Upgrade -- what can I expect??

    DoctorQuest replied to Wrench's topic in The Pub

    As far as I know the reader is still free. Did you try to get an updated version from Adobe?

  22. Win10 Upgrade -- what can I expect??

    DoctorQuest replied to Wrench's topic in The Pub

    Did you try going here and clicking "Update Now"? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

  23. Win10 Upgrade -- what can I expect??

    DoctorQuest replied to Wrench's topic in The Pub

    Lots of hits on Google for this which is never a good sign. Did you try running it as an admin?

  24. Win10 Upgrade -- what can I expect??

    DoctorQuest replied to Wrench's topic in The Pub

    I have had problems with "first gen" SF and FE. FE2 and SF2 work great. CFS3 runs great. No issues with any versions of Office that I have. Lots of very, very old Win95 games just will not run. Go figure. DOSBOX runs great.
  25. If it was easy they wouldn't pay us so much.
