Snapple, Glad to hear your doing so well pard. Gettin off the smokes and binge drinking is one of the smartest moves you'll ever make. Your smart enough to realize it early on. I had to learn the hard way and go thru the ringer. Congratulations on the soon to be new wife and child. Ive found the love of my life too. Hang on to them bro, thru thick and thin, they are a precious thing. Going into the Marines will get you inshape fershure. Its a good branch pal.

Hiya Chief, Im still floating around too. Got a kick outta that game room setup of yours. Gave me a few ideas, hehe. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Whats a squid without his own copy of DW, eh? COUNT ME IN!!! :)

The latest and greatest version of the Naval Warfare Project, version 18, has been released. I dont know a lot of particulars at this time so you will have to check out the Naval Warfare Project Yahoo Groups Forum. Or go to the Naval Warfare Project website. If you like playing Fleet Command, this is a must have. :)

WHOA! I LOVE that half underwater shot, THAT is cool! Man, pc games have sure come a long way eh? I remember Atari and thinking if they could only do something like what we have now. Well, the time is NOW, hehe. :) Dagger, that isnt a bad idea. I was originally a member, and training officer, of the 6th "Hundius" Flotilla. But that was when SH2 first came out. There were so many problems, and the MP part took forever to get fixed, that most of the guys quit. I think we went from 15 guys down to 2 or 3. With this game, and the finally realized fixes for SH2, rejoining might not be a bad idea at all.

I have been working all morning trying to build a simple strike mission using the F9F-5, the USS Essex, and the Korea map. I cannot seem to make the planes do a normal takeoff from the carrier. Either my plane blows up, or it bounces like some ball until the wingman spawns underneath, whereupon I blow up, or if I check the adjust heading/takeoff boxes in the editor, Im not even ON the carrier, Im flying somewhere over the water a ways away from it. Maybe one of you guys can make sense of this...

Initially, the mission worked fine until I added a werehouse as a target. So I delete the tasrget and just focus on trying to get ON the deck for takeoff...no bueno... My ship floats above the water, My wingman takes off and floats down to the water where he lands to the sound of wheels hitting a runway, and my F9F doesnt have any main gear visible! Geeeeeze....this post cannot begin to convey the continual problems I have had. I am not a rookie at this. I know how to fool around with things until something finally works. But apparently SFP1 right now isnt cooperating...

I have finally gotten SFP1 to work on my small 2 computer LAN. Me and my girlfriend have been having fun shooting missiles at each other. Hey, beats argueing! Anyway, a couple things... 1st) When I try to exit the MP and go to mainscreen, all I get is black screen, a little HDD activity, then nothing, just black screen. Try to cntrl/alt/del out, to no avail. I have to reboot. This only happens on my WinXP SP2 comp. The other comp has WinXP SP1. Any ideas? This happen to anyone else? 2nd) Despite adding MK2's nice Soviet green cockpits to the MiG-17 and -19, all I get is the defualt A-4 cockpit in the MP game. Whazzup???

Where is the aircraft.ini file located? I cant find it. As for SP2, I have all the functions of the STUPID security center off, and still these glitches. grrrrrrrrrr..... Thanks for the replies DO...

Excellent art deuces, I wish I could do that sort of thing. The idea of putting them in the member gallery is a good one. Just a thought...but another idea for all those screenies...I took all mine, editied them in PSP7 to my liking, and now use them in the "My Pictures" screensaver function in Windows. Looks cool. I often find myself watching the pics slide in and out, hehe.

Lookin' good man, cant wait!

OOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOooooooo....*slobber*...OOOOOOooooooOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOOooooo....*drool*...*spittle*...*salivate*... Nice screenies, thanks Bob. I ordered my copy from ubi, should be here any day...cant wait...much...longeeeerrrrrrr....

That quote sounds mighty Irish to me... Happy St. Pats day to you too...

*affects southern accent* I am at your disposal suh...
