And it's available cheap at www.gog.com if you don't have it and are interested.

I consider it my virtual WWII aircraft museum. I can fly aircraft in IL-2 that I cannot fly anywhere else. While the FMs may not be perfect, they are pretty darned good. Flying a simulated B-25 or PE-2 mission is a treat for an aviation buff like myself. I know a lot of folks are working to make SF2 a good WWII sim but they have a long way to go to get to IL-2 and, of course, there are some WWII mods unavailable to the unworthy like myself.

You have to love the music, too. Nice work.

One issue will be the fact that the DS terrain references the GermanyCE.CAT file. That may give you some grief. I think it will run but you will be missing terrain objects. You may be able to modify the DS terrain INIs to use the Israel terrain CAT file but I'm not sure how well that would work.

Agreed. GoG is one of the few places that gets my gaming dollars these days. Thirdwire is another, of course.

HINT. Click on the blue arrow at the Vets site. The BLUE ARROW. The BLUE ARROW.......

Sheesh. Ok. I'll try that (and the new one.) Thanks, Wrench.

Just as a exercise in modding I am trying to bring the AT-6D from the SF1 Korean War Mod over to SF2. I've had excellent luck porting other SF1 aircraft but I cannot for the life of me figure out why I cannot get the textures to display correctly or the decals to show up. It should be using stock decals as there is no D folder in the original aircraft config structure. Here is the decal.ini [Decal001] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat= Position=-0.0,-0.0 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1 [Decal002] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat= Position=-0.0,-0.0 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1 [Decal003] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-3.0,-0.0 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.5 [Decal004] MeshName=Tail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-3.0,-0.0 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.5 [Decal005] MeshName=LeftWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-4,-0.0 Rotation=8.0 Scale=1.4 [Decal006] MeshName=RightWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=4,-0.0 Rotation=8.0 Scale=1.4 [Decal007] MeshName=LeftWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=NationName Position=-4,0.0 Rotation=-8.0 Scale=2.0 [Decal008] MeshName=RightWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=NationName Position=4,0.0 Rotation=-8.0 Scale=2.0 I know the fuselage decal statement specifies a null file but the fuselage insignia is actually attached to the tail mesh. Seems to work fine in SF1.

ANY game that requires online activation will not get my vote. I've been burned once and it will never happen again. I went with FE2. It's just a solid, fun sim. I am about ready to give OFF a try as I have a new rig that runs CFS3 well. I'll look at ROF if and when it goes on sale on GOG DRM free.

Hmmmm. This just looks a little too good to be true. I stopped when I saw the Russian FAQs. (I downloaded it on my "trash" virtual XP machine just to be safe.) Might be OK but it looks like a "crack" of DX10 to me. Not sure I want to go there. YMMV..... Let us know how you get on.

That's the way I understand it....

It might depend on which cockpit they use. If they use the Netz cockpit from WOI you will need WOI or grab an F-16 cockpit from somewhere else.

It sound a lot like you are running an exe that was not properly updated with a patch. I have a similar issue with my "custom" exes when I do an update. I need to make sure I recreate the custom exes from a new patched exe to get any of them to work. What is the name of the EXE file you are trying to start?

As a recovering model builder I am just a little envious. Very impressive. The takeoffs and landings are very well done.

Geez. You guys are no fun. Next you'll be telling me Santa Claus doesn't exist. (How would NORAD track him if he didn't exist, HUH? HUH?)

I prefer dosbox over native dos for most games given it's a bit of a pain doing all the old dox memory dances as well as joystick and sound card support. With the rigs these days most dosbox based games run just fine. I still love F-15 Strike Eagle II (yes, I said II (two, 2, dos)) and F-117 Stealth Fighter from Microprose. Age of Rifles still can't be beat. I recently got Star Trek The Next Generation - A Final Unity installed under dosbox. Looks danged good for as old as it is. I run Win98 under a VM just so I can play the Great Battles Series from iMagic. (The game's got a weird glitch under XP and higher where the right mouse click commands don't work..) And then I found Good Old Games. OMG......www.gog.com

I'm a doofus. I STILL don't watch it.

Me, too. Rivet-counters be damned.

Glad the pilot is OK and no spectators were injured.

Just reupped as Premier, my friend. Sorry it took so long...... <====== SEEE!!!!!!!

Congrats.....Good luck!

I use it to chat with my game producer in Germany (I'm in Omaha, NE). It is simple and gets the job done. I like the Web based ICQ as I can use it at work without installing additional software. That being said, we also use Facebook chat and while we've never used it to meet we both have Skype. I signed up with Skype after I dropped my land line. Great way to make work related phone calls (I'm at the computer already.....) and saves cell minutes.
