Well thanks rwatson fpr the SimQ info and also I was born in Loxton and live in Adelaide and yes it is still a good place to live and yes it is a bit dull at times... unlike poor France which seems to be hesitating whether to end multiculturalism and encourage integration or go right wing or homogenic... it's a reeal problem until you look at the obvious ,, which is how and why those barbarian tribes formed those nation states.... answer = to protect their tribesway of life etc and I'm Charles Martel and Charlemagne were fighting the same war that the west is today - keeping Islam at arms length - historically Islam, and Christianity together is a bad idea, one coulsd say it'sall ebout the profits and prophets than God
anyway enough of that
and Jell thank you for putting uo the downloads on one drive The v140 qnd v150 versions have Spaw , I haven't found a Burma campaign yet, but I downloaded every thing you had there. I might have to pick your brains I;ve noticed you've written a fair few apps etc for the sim, cos I would not mind using the 140 and 150 versions to remake the solo versions of Spaw .SAW etc .. you know,,familarise myself with the engine It is the way i learn about things then I might be able to help out on a project
I know CFS inside out by doing mods etc.
For your military historical buffs, Loxton (my home town) is a soldier sailor airman .resettlement town. Most of the veterans have passed away including my Dad, but our neighbour and Dad's closest friend is still looking after himself and maintaining a 30 acre rural orchard.But the most impressive thing about the bloke is that he still flies every week end in his 90's His name is Howard Hendricks and if you do a RAF search on him you will find an admirable record.
He flew the legendary Lancaster and did two 25 mission tours,
After the war he flew commercial aircraft and not just any old route... Empire Airways from Capetown=Nairobi-Cairo-Malta-London,,,,, mate he is treasure and a treasure trove of knowledge.... lots of those fellows were,,, but man his life just amazes me,,, I keep on urging to tell me more about those days It's like "Biggles" but real .. and he isn't a braggat, he has only started telling me these things since Dad died ... they could make a bloody movie out of his life,, no worries
Anyway thanks fellas . better go before i give you an earache AND Jell do you know where a copy of the 1,26e (Last of the old eaw-exe updates) is cos i need it for the Finnish Air War Yeah I know..just something to do, but it was a pretty interesting tussle between the Finns and the Ruskies I'll look at SimQ first BTW - Are those "HangerFiles" in the skin folders of the planesets pointers or designators for loading the various planes in each slot and is there a database that is updated as well..cockpit.cdf for instance? Cheers fellas Marksy
