MJ, Another problem. My track file I uploaded keeps coming back to me "incomplete or damaged" when I do a test download. The file archive being uploaded is fine. But its missing a couple files in the archive after I download it.

I got a reply from Extreme_one concerning track editing on the Ubi forums. He gave me a link to a thread he started awhile back concerning editing here...http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=...0533&m=76710959 Its very useful for all us wannabe movie producers. Using a few of his techniques, I made the attached track for my Balaton campaign. Follow the readme and tell me what you think. It isnt spectacular. The collossal block busters will come later. ;) pcpilottrack.zip

Got it answered on the IL2 Mission builder forum. Seems I can put the track and MSG file in the training folder, edit the all.ini file to include the track, viola! Now, if I can just get the tracks to play in color instead of BW in the campaign itself. My campaign has been renamed Balaton and now has 18 missions and 5 movies. The last mission I worked on tonight is an attempt at intercepting an enemy night time intruder; the classic "washing machine charlie" scenario. You should see the searchlites and flak; very cool. ;)

NP Beer, thx.

I have finally figured out how to add messages to tracks in my campaign. Even got the timing down. Thanks go to Extreme_one for his excellent British campaign. I looked in his folder to see how he had done it and it all suddenly made sense. But I have a question; How can I view my tracks WITH the messages without going thru my campaign? I might still want to edit them. I used the record viewer in-game but it doesnt show the messages. I tried adding the MSG files into the records folder and then do playback but that didnt seem to help, still no messages. Any suggestions? Thanks fellas...

These arent the new ships, at least to my knowledge. I havent come across them yet as I have been playing the original scenarios and not the new added on ones yet. But still thought you might like them. WHOA! How'd THAT get in here???!!?? GO NAVY! ;)

Firehawk, that is one sweet car. Your cousin buys me one and ILL marry him. :D ...of course, I wont be sleeping with him though... :P :D ;)

Got it! Can be seen here...IL2FB Forum

Not sure if I can, like you, Im not to familiar with some boards' setups. But Ill give it a whirl and let you know. If not, then Ill post the link to this thread here I guess.

You mean THIS P-38? I would really dig some Hellcats and Corsairs. Imagine going after some in-coming Vals... :)

Man, I couldnt stop laughing, thats just too cool. My two favorites...IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out. -- Theodore, age 8 It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED? There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? -- Kelvin, age 8 :D :D :D

Check out this thread at Ubi...Carrier take off & landing. I HAVE read other threads in the forum where Oleg specifically said that Carriers WERE possible with the game ENGINE. I tell ya, I'd LOVE to see CV's in IL2. This is gettin me all tingly again...

LOL, You know, those are some cool screens snapple. Is it just me or are the gun flashes getting better? It seemed like all they were before was just a puff of smoke. I always wanted to see a BIG ball of flame, kinda like a 30mm on an IL2... ;) . You should post these on the IL2 forum at Ubi. Maybe even in Oleg's Ready Room to show him the bug. Now Im gonna hafta include the Tirpitz in my next campaign. Im also gonna have these two go at it in the editor. I wanna see this battle first hand... :D

Did you get them MJ? I uploaded them when I got home from work.

I live 45 miles NNE of San Diego in a little town called Ramona, though it is growing like everything else in SoCal. This picture was taken in the Anza-Borrego Desert about 50 miles east of, and over the mountains from, Ramona. I was checking out where the Pacific crest trail crossed the hiway in its dip into the desert from the mountains. My dream car? Hmmm, Im pretty happy with all I got to be honest. But if I were to indulge, Maybe a early '60's 'vette. Of course to me, a ww2 half track would be cool too, hehe. All OD green, polished to a fine sheen, armor-all rubber tread booties(road wheels), and an all chrome .50 cal mounted on a titanium, embossed gun ring. Wear my scarf and WW2 aviator goggles and helmet, have the windshield down and the canvas top off and imagine the babes' looks when they see you clank by in that baby! :D

Im presently driving a Black 2000 Ford F-150 V6 4.2L short bed with a rebel flag on the windshield, a 30.30 behind the seat, white letter'd radials on chrome wheels, and a dog in back. Can we say YEEHAAAAAWWWW!!! :D

Hey, I got one Bud light left; Ill hoist it tonite to ya snap. Happy B-day Reb... :D ;)

Hey! Wait a minute! Im BOTH!!! Im so confused... :D

Way cool! Got it and installing it now. :)

LOL..."FOX ONE!"

Theres a LOT of evil out there in this world. The sorry part is, those that do these things often claim to be doing Gods' work. Jesus said you would "know them by their fruits". This is a pretty sorry "fruit" I'd say. And it certainly ISNT Gods' work. They've made clear their character to me... My heart and my prayers go out to the victims and thier families of this crime against humanity, whoever the criminals who did it. And rest assured, they will pay for this, sooner or later.

NWP 17.0 goes a LONG ways making things a LOT simpler. You still should start with a fresh install of FC, then upgrade it to version 1.2 as per the install readme found in the files section of the Yahoo Groups forum. Do a test run of the game at this point. Start a scenario and once its run for a couple minutes, quit out of the game. You then unzip the 1.34 patch into the FC folder allowing it to overwrite the original files. You then still need to empty the Doctrines, Database, and Scenario folders. You then apply the NWP 17.0. Then add the latest scenario packs found on the forum. You DONT need the the 16.8 graphics or the NWP Addon 7.0; they are going away. NWP17.0 has it all. Lastly, as per the install readme, you'll need to follow its directions concerning the FleetCommand.ini file located in the FC folder. It took me two minutes to do this. Thats it pretty much! There is also a WinXP patch available but I dont know anything about it yet. I still use WinME. Ill post a few screenies soon of some of the new warships.

You can say THAT again chief. I will say I kinda liked bein on the bridge as BMOW when underway though. The nites at sea were usually beautiful. Loved watchin the phospherescent wake and the stars. It was also kinda fun to walk back and check the after lookout and pop him on the back of the head if I caught him dozing, hehe. Did it more than once... ;)

Thanks MJ, Ill upload them tonight when I get home.

Chief, I love it! These reasons this man spoke of are a BIG part of why I wave and wear a confederate flag. Its funny, but many in our generation remember what it was like to be truely free, to be able to make your own choices and decisions without some official somewhere saying no. You cant pick your nose in the privacy of your own home without someone whining its bad for the kids or whatever. I hate to say it, but this kind of goverment intrusion is why our founding dathers in the revolutionary period went to war. Its why the south took up arms. Sadly, our people have become so used to others thinking for them and so used to whining and complaining over piddly crap, they will likely never have the backbone to stand up for their freedom again. Freedom isnt just about voting people. Freedom is the thinking man's perogative and responsibility. Its freedom of choice and expression. If you dont like what someones saying, then dont listen or by God, get up on a soapbox and say why theyre wrong. But dont EVER tell them they cant say it, THATS un-American! Instead of having another 1000 laws go into effect every damn year in California, how about enfocing those already on the books? How about employing the golden rule and some common sense? I aint so worried about those al-queda idiots, Im far more worried about the malaise in this country. We are fixing to shoot ourselves in the foot by relying so much on goverment and not thinking for ourselves; and that with all the gun laws in effect... Sorry, but Ive been thinking long and hard on this. Its something thats bothered me for a LONG time. I worry the next generations wont know the freedoms Ive known, then given time, freedom will disapeer. God help us. Ill get off my soap box now...
