I am using Shoot 1.6.4 successfully with IL2 1946 and FSX on my Windows 10 computer. My Windows drive got corrupted a few weeks ago and I had to reinstall .Net Framework 1.1 in order for Shoot to work again. But no issues with it otherwise than once in a while I have to repeat my command but that probably has more to do with my microphone than Shoot itself.

I've been tempted more than once to try Falcon BMS, but I'm afraid of the lengthy learning curve and spending three days figuring out how to start the engine. Same applies with DCS. SF2 strikes the right combination of complexity for me.

I watched the series on Smithsonian Channel Canada more than once and it's excellent.

163 GB on a 930 GB hard drive used just for games. Plus some of the mods that I'm not currently playing are stored on a backup drive. That's probably about 30 GB.

TIR5 and Windows 10 here too. No issue and I wouldn't play SF2 without it. It's quite expensive, but well worth it once you get used to the head motion. Here is the list of games I use it for so you can see that the high cost pays for itself with the large amount of games I can use it with: SF2 Rise of Flight IL2 1946 IL2 Great Battles Cliffs of Dover Wings Over Flanders Fields Train Simulator Euro Truck Simulator 2 American Truck Simulator

Super thanks for the replies. I will start looking for targets of opportunity whenever I get that mission completed message.

Just playing Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam using the excellent air and ground expansion mod and sometimes on the way to my target another flight reaches the target first and destroys it and thus Red Crown orders me to return to base. What do other players do when you get this message? Do you continue to the target area and find other targets of opportunity or do you return to base as ordered and dump your ordnance on the way back? I would like to hear any opinions, please. What was the real standard operating procedure for US forces in Vietnam if their mission was completed or cancelled before they reached the target? Thanks.

I have one of those small portable SSD's that I use with the free AOMEI Backupper to make backups of my drives. It has saved me more than one once when I accidentally deleted something or when my HDD died on me three years ago.

Many thanks for this interesting article. When flying SF2, I keep forgetting to drop them if I engage in air to air combat.

I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and I've had that happy a few times as well.

I am thinking exactly the same. Very tempted to get Falcon 4 BMS, but I'm afraid it'll be more frustrating than fun for myself.

Thanks for the replies. The reason I asked was that some of the great campaign addons located here recommend some of the DLC's be installed for extra aircraft. So I guess I'll buy DLC's as I need them for any addons.

Sheesh! Bad grammar on my part! Wouldn't mind scooping up a bunch of DLC's...

Wonder mind scooping up a bunch of DLC's, but here in Canada it's almost a 30% premier on USD-CAD conversion. Not that the DLC's are pricey, but before I buy one or two of them, I wonder if TW ever has sales on the DLC's? I see that SF2 itself is 10% off.

Thanks for the post, Sky High. I did make a backup copy of my July 2012 install just in case I want to drop back down to it without the campaign customizer, of course.
