I attached my huddate.ini from my flight folder in case you wish to try it mue. So to piggyback on what Fubar said, we have been messing with this for years and never got something definitive.

  18. Veltro so did you forget about jets?
  19. Here is my thoughts on how long we have been doing Strike Fighters. Viggen has been here since 8th grade, he is now in the Army. Caeser, if I recall correctly, he was in high school when he first started lurking here and now is a Captain in the USAF. Jimmybib, who hasnt been around in awhile but I stay in contact on Facebook, was here since his 2nd year of of high school. Now he is out of college and working for BAE. I might be wrong on that but close. For you all that have been around, my twins are now 10. My boys are 15 and 17. My point where has the time gone? Share your time here at CA and what has passed in your time here.
  20. Dave

    Welcome Home Viggen

    Wow 8th grade, yep it has been that long.
  21. Our very own Viggen is back from Afcrapistan safe and sound. This kid has been around CA since he was a sophomore in high school. All grown up and back from down range. Welcome home my friend!
  22. When you get the error at 80% do you have a copy of the error message? That way I know what .dll file is failing you. Wrench, any ideas?
  23. and then?
