  1. yeah, I removed them all from the mods directory manually. Oddly, the Hornet is behaving normally in Sinai, it's just goofed in certain maps. Anyway, it is repairing for good measure and then I'll test. Added: Yea, no mods now, ran repair, but still same problem. Did you get the Mig-29 today by any chance? That's the only other thing that has changed.
  2. Fair enough but in the past six years I've never once had to do that before. The mods are in the Saved Games directory. Anyway, will try. The Hornet is not even showing up as human-flyable.
  3. I just started flying the Mig-29 today, but since doing so, I notice that in regions like Caucasus and Nevada, I can no longer load the AIM-9X missiles onto the Hornet, and that F/A-18C only has like 4 liveries available (instead of the usual 30 or so). Something got corrupted somewhere. I'm not sure if it's related to the new DCS version, new plane (Mig-29), or something else. I do have a couple of mods running, Civil Aviation and the F-22, but it all worked before the latest updated and new plane, and has worked for 3+ years. Historic mode is NOT enabled, and either way the dates are set to 2025, "ALL" is set instead of "COMBAT", there are no payload restrictions, etc ... I already ran through most of the low-hanging fruit.
  4. This is my favorite map in DCS. And it's just getting better. Thanks, guys, your hard work on this is very much appreciated, not to mention, greatly enjoyed. To this day I spend hours just flying around this map in SP because I love the atmosphere. I always find something new and interesting, and even educational. I didn't even know Mont St. Michael existed until I flew over it in DCS! I've since researched and read all about it. Ditto places like Jersey and Isle of Wright. And there is this country just north of France called "England"! I've since learned that it's famous for being a pretty country with godawful food and people who can't properly speak the very language they invented. Who knew??!! Okay, okay, I kid about England. Sort of. Anyway, London to Paris is 200 miles of content on one historical sim map, which is just outstanding. I love flying past the Eiffel Tower, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Arc Du Triumph, London Bridge, the Louvre, and then when I'm done admiring them ... blowing them to kingdom come. It's improved my enjoyment of DCS immensely. Thank you so much!
  5. Got it, I missed that, thank you! P.S. Man, check out those blowers when going from MIL to AB, that's beautiful
  6. I'm getting a "check gear" voice warning every 45 seconds or so. My gear is up, though. It's controlled with my pinkie switch and I am up at 35K and still getting it. Anyone else getting the warning? Resolved: My bad, I had the flaps down.
  7. Loving the Mig-29 so far! Thank you so much for making it, I've only gotten a couple of hours in so far, but they have been an awesome couple of hours. Very well done! Question: Using auto-pilot gives me a back-and-forth oscillation, even when using the damper. Is this a trait of the plane, or am I not using Autopilot correctly? Edited to Add: Just noticed it does not appear to oscillate quite as much at high altitude.
  8. Lessay & Stoney Cross are 6,000ft, I think.
  9. That's what she said.
  10. Interesting, I've been trying to make a Jericho mission myself, and so far this is my best effort creating a stand-in for Amiens Prison. See the wall and machine gun bunker at the bottom? That's what makes it a prison! Eh, eh, genius, amirite? Now, I know what you're thinking, "damn, I wanted realistic but that's a little TOO realistic ... if any WW2 veterans see it, their PTSD may get triggered" ... but I decided to take the risk, and go all-in on immersiveness. If you look real hard, you might just spot George and Weezy Jefferson on the top floor, in their dee-lux apartment, in the sky high-high. Apparently, they were both spies for the frogs. Who knew? Except for Florence, that is. Who do you think turned them in? See? With ingenuity like this, I hardly think Ugra needs to trouble themselves with making an Amiens Prison. I mean, I highly-doubt a better one could be made.
  11. I'm trying to make a mission, and in part of it, the Allies try to cross the Seine just south of Le Havre in Higgins Boats. Problem is, it won't work because the estuary is so shallow ... too shallow even for Higgins Boats. The thing is, I thought those boats only had a draft of like, 4 feet? I know nothing of the water navigation in that area, Is the Sienne estuary really that shallow?
  12. I was trying to find the compass rose in the ME as well, which is how I found this thread. Add me to the people who would like to have it in ME if possible. All I would need to do to get multiple ingress/egress headings in a glance is place the compass over a specific base, which would be super-helpful.
  13. Thanks, I hope that's true ... but ... it's been coming since 2015. Prince was still alive when 2.0 was announced, The first Trump administration hadn't happened yet. Kanye West was still quasi-sane when 2.0 was announced. I'm a software developer, and I know good software takes time. But unless it's been cancelled, 10 years is probably unanticipated by most. Not that the dev owes us anything, but it does toy with our excitement a bit. I'm really happy that it's not dead. But unless I missed it, which is possible, I haven't seen anything that looks like an estimated release date, so it's likely not imminent. I guess it gets here when it gets here if it gets here. I hope it does, and if not, well, there's always my kids. And their kids. And their kids. And th ... well you get the point. Somebody, sometime should be pretty excited. I hope the dev charges 1.x users for it too. Dude's going to go broke grandfathering us all in. 2.0 sounds like a ton of work, and he completely deserves to be paid for his work. I've been using the excellent 1.x.x for damn near a decade. I got my money's worth several times over. I use Tacview for DCS and other programs too (like CMANO). He doesn't owe me (or any of us) anything, IMHO. Not to mention, if you told me I had to give my product away, it would take me 10 years to complete it too. Assuming I ever did.
  14. This thread was posted over 10 years ago, so I assume 2.0 is no longer happening, but I figured I'd ask. I love Tacview and was looking forward to it. I'd pay for 2.0, no problem. I've been using 1.x for so long. I've also never necro'ed a 10 year-old thread before, and I want to impress the ladies by telling them that I did so.
  15. I called my bank, and they said the don't see any declined transactions whatsoever. They're saying the decline is on Saferpays end. I don't know if that is true or not.
