Silberpfeil

Here's an idea - scale it to 27' long, paint it yellow, and attach it to the underside of a B-17. Then, add three parachute packs to the aerial lifeboat, some fancy stripes and service lettering to the aircraft and you have a U.S.C.G. PB-1G :

From those of your oldest and continuous seagoing service, Happy Birthday, America!

Snipped this article off of AvWeb this morning - details how Marine aviator flying an AV-8B off of USS Bataan has collected seven drone kills. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/red-sea-drone-attacks-create-first-american-ace-in-50-years/?MailingID=FLY240214002

This aircraft is now up for bid, starting at $10,001. See link below for interesting video snipped from AvWeb this morning. Naval aviators should especially note carrier operations without arrestor cables and catapults, all courtesy of the colanda effect. Even more amazing, this NASA project was finished ahead of schedule and under budget by an outside contractor...

Great stuff on this site - just like a trip down Memory Lane!

I've used DHL (I think they call it Parcel Connect) for large boxes. Not sure if they handle pallets, but it's a start...

Thank you, VonS - it's always appreciated to see the upgrades and improvements made to this splendid old game...

When a unique FE2 or SF2 install is run, new files are generated in the C:/Users/=UserName=/Saved Games/Thirdwire/FirstEagles2 or StrikeFighters2 folder. Previous installs have then allowed the newly-generated folders named “Controls”, “Missions”, “Objects”, etc., to be moved elsewhere (with some added statements to the Options.ini file showing where they have been moved to), but the generated Options.ini (and Versions.ini in the case of SF2) need to remain at that location. Can anyone offer some insight on whether or not the Options.ini MUST remain there in order for FE2 or SF2 to work? I've installed a new SSD and am in the process of migrating all (including the former C:/Program Files (x86)/Thirdwire executables) of my FE2 and SF2 installs to the new drive, but the Options.ini and the Versions.ini are resisting the relocation and simply generate new files in their historic location whenever setting up a new install. I've tried modifying the Options/OptionsFile entry found in the executables .ini folder, but no joy. Is this a hard-coded command during installation that cannot be modified? TIA for any replies!

I've heard Beef Chow Mein is their specialty...

Just about sums it up on this July 4th...

For the freedoms we have, and the benefits we enjoy, every day should be considered a Memorial Day...
