Sorry, I got slowed down a bit with my real life;

portion of the Thanh Hao area this weekend.

[No Dice]

Not really sure what I did, But I really messed up my install.
I am trying to avoid an entire reinstall, I can not even open
the sim or mission builder. I hope to be able to get back to the
project by to Tuesday...I hope.

[Dirtman]

Yo Dice;

You work WAY too hard bro ... maybe the PC & CFS2 want a short vacation eh?

Rule #1 ... don't freak out and do something stupid. Try the simple poo 1st.

Open the main CFS2 folder .... is the cfs2.exe there?

Right/click it and select: "Run as Administrator"

[No Dice]

Thanks dirt, But no go...
Working on the dreaded reinstall, Hope to be back to the project soon.
At least I did not lose the Scenery or newer objects that I was working on.

[No Dice]

OK, I think I am Back up and running again.

Well I was wrong, So I have copied all the important stuff and reloading
the whole computer, seems I have been hacked ?? When I try some of
the FFS stuff " I Get , HA HA ", ATT&T has fixed that problem with the
FFS and also insured that the downloads are safe.

The project will be back in a day or two...........

[No Dice]

Yes, Yes, Yes,

Finally all is fixed, look for updates soon.

Plus to all the artists on the Free Flight Site:
I have verified the D/L counts etc..
Please report any other problems you may find on your pages.

[No Dice]

Wow, my computer is finally back to normal.
These are the last objects required for the Thanh Hoa Scenery
that I hope to release in the morning. They should work for
Vietnam or Korea mission writers.

OK, feels nice to have everything working again.
For now, I will head north along the coast line, add the bays and inlets,
just a few scenery items along the way and then come back and fill in
the other stuff...But I think that the mission writers and lazy flyers will
enjoy it.

Tank you all for your support with this project.

I seem to be spinning my wheels on some of the Vinh scenery objects....
I hope to release them soon, In the mean time I am working the coast lines,
inlets and bays south and will release more soon.

I need some help with mission writing. If you are in the USA I have a sweet
bribe for you, For all others I am working on the bribe and how to get it to you ??

DEA14U@aol.com

[No Dice]

Well I seem to be back into the limits situation.
I have started removing DP files ETC....
I will release more objects as soon as the Sim
loads again so I can test them one more time.

Hoping to be back up and running tonight.

PS, The bribe below ( for 3 missions , 1 helo and 2 A1H )
is a 3 gallon, 3 flavor tin of popcorn delivered fresh to
your doorstep.

OK, Back up and Running...............
Doing a whole lot better than Dirtman is:

If you do not receive Dirtmans computer updates or warnings:
DO NOT DOWNLOAD CCLEANER (piriform.com) it will kill your rig
and require an entire new re-install, The dirt has to reload 3 rigs
that are beyond repair or restore.

.... And just when you thought it was safe to come to SOH......

WOW man ... I just got "Royally Butt-Fooked" by the CCleaner bug on all 3 of my main PC's
This is the 1st time I've had to reload my o/s due to malware in 12+ years.

Funny thing:
I have used AVG (free & payware) since day one (2005) & have found it exceptional ... best by far.

Recently I've been testing "Avira A/V" on one machine & I WAS liking it.

AVG flagged the bug when I tried to d/l the newest version from FileHippo.
So I tried to d/l it on the Avira PC ... downloaded fine ... installed that copy on 3 PC's ... and died.

The thing is that FileHippo also uses Avira for site security. I have told them about this situation but have been ignored.
This is not FileHippo's fault. The bug originates at the CCleaner home site "piriform.com"

I've used FileHippo for 10 years and NEVER had a problem.

Now I trust AVG 100% as it as "saved by bacon" more times than I can remember ... Avira? not so much anymore.

PS:
I was very fortunate as both these 2 PC were reloaded 1 month ago ... so I had recent backups to reload from.

[No Dice]

Sorry for the delay, finally got back up and loading.
Here are some static NVA aircraft objects that should
make some great targets for missions.
