HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Hi all, I have been away for a few weeks - are the servers going to be up this weekend? Thanks, HCS
Feathered_IV Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 They are up now I think. The latest update requires a complete reinstall of the game however, so you'll need to do all that first and redo all your control setup, as the earlier version is no longer compatible.
W1ndy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 so we need to re download the installer ? is that right ?
FuriousMeow Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Yes - and if that doesn't work, then you need to try the other installer linked in the latest developer diary. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/4325-developer-diary-part-54/?p=90563 Edited February 23, 2014 by FuriousMeow
W1ndy Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 and after the installer all the updates ? I'm in a limited bandwidth situation, so that takes me right out of the game until I can get a better set up. Thanks anyway FM
FuriousMeow Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Unfortunately yes, there are about a gig and a half of updates. The plus side is with the seeding from other's clients that it can be a lot faster as long as people seeding are online. But I understand the bandwidth limitation, luckily I don't face that but I understand it's a <nonsensical/greed driven> limitation put in place by companies led by terribly corrupt/greedy individuals in other locations around the globe. I face the same limitation with my phone services, but internet as of yet no bandwidth cap - but I know the greedy bastards are looking for a way to do it. Edited February 23, 2014 by FuriousMeow
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks guys! Looks like that was my problem. I will try again next weekend - I don't think this will finish for a few hours and I have an early flight tomorrow. Cheers, HCS
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 24, 2014 Author Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Blech - I wish I had been flying simulated airplanes instead! I got over to Sacramento-Mather - nice flight, beautiful day crossing the Sierras in a total rat trap of an airplane with a cruise prop. It took forever to get up to altitude to cross the mountains and with a little headwind I was nearly an hour late arriving. Landing Mather, the radios and intercom died. I swear it was not a hard landing. Aborted the rest of the flight and flew all the way home with just my handheld com/nav because there was nobody to look at the radios on a Sunday. The thing I have learned about flying old airplanes - always have backup plans with backup plans. Edited February 24, 2014 by HeavyCavalrySgt

HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 That sounds like a lot of fun actually. Well, people have had worse days in airplanes. It is just better to have trust worthy equipment crossing the mountains. Well, okay, flying anytime! It was a gorgeous day for flying, and the snow on the mountains always reminds me of cake frosting. It is funny how much rugged wilderness there is left in the world. Still I was supposed to be landing at San Carlos and ferrying back another airplane, and it all kind of fell apart - I didn't want to fly into Bay Area traffic with a handheld radio. As it was, we couldn't hear much over the mountains, and normally you can hear all the way to the coast.

HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 25, 2014 Author Posted February 25, 2014 Out of Reno? Tahoe? Maybe Carson city? From Carson - good guess!
LastRightsXIII Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) S! Beautiful weather this weekend. Shoot I might have seen you go by. I'm up cannon from Placerville. Right at 4,000 ft. mark on the south ridge of the South Fork of the American River. North of Pollock. Edited February 26, 2014 by LastRights13

Right at 4,000 ft. mark on the south ridge of the South Fork of the American River. North of Pollock. Might have! A battered old 172 that is white and blue under the oil crud! A riding buddy of mine live over near Swansboro - right abeam the approach end of runway 9. Now I want a pot pie from Z-Pie.
LastRightsXIII Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Swansboro. Yes, Not far from here at all. Nice area. Check PM...

I just ask if I can barrow a friends B55 Baron if I need to cross water or mountains.
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Swansboro. Yes, Not far from here at all. Nice area. Check PM... It is a fun road getting up there too with those one lane wooden bridges and tight, steep turns and narrow roads and no guardrails. Single engine over the mountains? No thanks! I just ask if I can barrow a friends B55 Baron if I need to cross water or mountains. Yeah, I try to be smart about it but I'm not multi-engine rated so that is a non-option.

Mosquito rd. does leave an impression on one that's for sure. I took my wife on it and she was carsick 'til the next day. This isn't my link but it's cool http://thenextdrive.com/reviewed-backroads/
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 hmmm - I have never been on it in a car. I bet it can feel... constricting.
=69.GIAP=C0NAN Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Small world. My folks used to live just south of Pollock Pines in Slug Gulch / Fairplay.

My folks used to live just south of Pollock Pines in Slug Gulch / Fairplay. Wow! It is isn't it. I've spent some (good) time over that way. Are you the same CONAN with ROF? S!

HeavyCavalrySgt Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 I very nearly bought a house south of Pollock Pines.
