    Yesterday their server was a bit overloaded. Maybe try again when things cool down? Otherwise PM me, and I will help you out.

    I just mentioned Turbosquid File404 because it is a convenient way to actually see some aircraft models that are in YAP products. Sure though; It is a lot of work either way: Both the modelling, texture mapping, skinning - then later configuring pivot points, aerodynamic wizardry, hardpoints, damage nodes, damage textures, distance lods etc. I can spare multiple $44 no problem. But stick to ground objects as nice bite-size hobby projects.

    File404 at Turbosquid: It is priced well below similar offerings there. Also I think a lot of hours went into each model. Maybe one can contact bobrock by PM here and purchase directly, to avoid Turbosquid royalties? Edit: Turbosquid has some sale periods as well.

    My take on YAP products - Out of the box can be pretty frustrating. Tried some Rising Sun missions. Then got mission accomplished when I was just taking off. Wondered what to do, could only find two enemy tanks on an island which I destroyed. Guess that stopped the invasion? - Hinchinbrooke's ship models - They are pretty good. Some USN stuff is top notch, especially the Carriers and Battleships/Cruisers, some Destroyers. Sometimes though corners were cut on some vessels, or stand-in models were used. With all the little crew figures and no distance lods these carrier models are not framerate friendly. Also the deck crew is a problem for conversion to a general usage SF2NA carrier. - Aircraft models in later releases are from Giuseppe Valfre (Which I understand to also go by the name of Bobrock here, and File404 at turbosquid). These are excellent. SF2 suitable poly count and details. Skins are good too. SFP1 A-team also works with his payware models. Look File404 up in turbosquid to see his work, his prices there are very reasonable.

    Good efforts there, promoting their martial law / police state protocols. Getting better with the day. Unfortunately it is still unconvincing, so i'll go outside now to catch some more spring sun.

    Yeah obviously the virus has a preference for celebrities.

    Here is spooky map: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html Denmark: "the responsible Government Virus Institute cannot recognize the numbers, and they do not know who gives Hopkins the figures [for their map]." Afrika: Generally the clinics there do not have the means to determine anything like this at all. For example: I have been told personally by a doctor for tropical diseases, in the top hospital of my country, that they do not know a single trustable clinic in Nigeria. Not one. When it gets beyond the obvious they will say it is Malaria to be done with it.

    Sorry to hear about the fragile health of some of your family members. Of course it is all understandable from that point of view. Did you actually know these people, or did you read about it? Here is nothing to see. Just fear and lack of things to do. Several relatives having a cold and being fine some days later. Then in some weeks I expect loads of economic damages + bailouts together with more tightened laws...

    I am sorry for all the shit going on, and the size of this thing. But I am not going to just take all the stories on face value, or just from the size of TV exposure. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.agenzianova.com%2Fa%2F5e6bcf1da7fbe3.23491954%2F2851060%2F2020-03-13%2Fcoronavirus-iss-in-italia-i-decessi-accertati-finora-per-causa-del-covid-19-sono-solo-due

    I agree with this part. I manage my own health, don't want or need their rubbish. Edit: Here is a nice article describing the "testing" for COVID: https://thedoctorwithin.com/blog/2020/03/10/newsletter-march-2020/

    "Downloaded some aircraft", is like modded to some degree. Although from the rest of your description it indeed sounds more like a Windows 10 or modern driver issue. Cannot really help you with that. I don't use Windows 10. I do know of about certain tweaking software for windows incompatibilities, but they are not easy to use: http://dege.freeweb.hu/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/ May be more worthwhile switching to Strike Fighters 2 instead.

    Note that modded content often impacts framerate. So when you say SFP1 lags, is that an unmodded or a modded game?

    Yeah I know that is always an option, and I appreciate it. I do/did that for some files like skins. But my preference was to keep the things that took much time and effort on a place of myself. I will see how it goes. Just wanted to give a heads up on this as early as possible. About the Internet archive mirror. I added the files that they missed, so everything is mirrored there now. :)

    The news reached me today, that Dutch internet provider Ziggo will close down all the webspace on their servers in april. That includes the webspace from provider Quicknet that was taken over by Ziggo years ago. Point being: My site! It is a bit sad because IMHO such webspaces were a good thing for free speech on the net. I will try to find an alternative place to host the same things in the same way. But the original address will definitely become unreachable in about a month. Edit: The pages also remain here, though I don't know which files they mirrored: https://web.archive.org/web/20190720112211if_/http://members.quicknet.nl/lm.broers/index.htm

    I was checking ship versus ship combat last year. But limited things to the naval guns, so no missiles. Topic is here:

    Every node in a LOD model has origin coordinates (x and y and z) and origin axis (x and y and z), these are then added to the origins of any parenting nodes. I suspect you reverse engineered something and these origins are now messed up. Edit: right, Pivot is the word in 3DSmax, not origin.

    Decided to land my damaged Spitfire on an enemy Airfield, but I was not Welcome.

    Added an Sd.Kfz. 251 ausf. D Half-track to my site. It comes with two skins. The rear MG 34 is functional for air-defense. Also added a Tan/Desert skin to the M4A3(75)W tank.

    Third Wire / TK is like a THOUSAND TIMES more honest and decent compared to like... Microsoft, Autodesk, Google etc.
