General Discussion / Re: Zeke vs Wildcatサーバが4.12.1+HSFX7.0にアップグレードしました。

« on: November 17, 2013, 07:02:30 »

Patching the stock game after HSFX installation is not a good idea and did not work for me. I know JSGME can disable HSFX, but this process still did not work for me and after installing 4.12.2 the game loaded as "4.12.1m".

Better idea - keep vanilla 4.12.2 IL-2 in separate folder on HDD.
Make new HSFX 7.01 folder on HDD and copy stock game into that folder.
Run HSFX 7.0 (3 part exe) install.
Install new auto updater exe to HSFX 7.01 folder
Run auto updater.
Then you can log onto Zekes vs Wildcats.

Should not be Chinese music:

Japanese units based at Babo.

- 202nd Kokutai (formally 3rd Kokutai - Zeros) early 1943 - March 1944 Truk, returns June 44
- 311th Hikotai of the 153 Kokutai - (A6M3-5 Zeros)
- 753rd & 732nd Kokutai - Betty (possibly based)
- JAAF 7th Air Division
- 59th Sentai (Ki-43) May 1943
- 61st (Hiko) Sentai (Ki-49 Helen) I think it is "Hiko sentai"
- 24th Sentai, 1st Chutai (Ki-43-II Oscar) Sumatra May 1943 to Dagua
- 34th Sentai (Ki-48) 1943
- 59th Sentai (Ki-43-II Oscar detachment) Malang March 1943 - April 1943 But
- 70th Dokuritsu Chutai (Ki-46 Dinah)
- 73rd Dokuritsu Chutai (Ki-51 Sonia)
- 45th Sentai (Ki-45 Nick) 16 arrive February 19, 1944 to Wakde
- 75th Sentai (Ki-48 Lily)
- 25th Special Base Unit (Betty & Topsy Transports)

So if this video contains Zero from Babo island, even parts used in Russian hand built replica, it was perhaps 3rd Kokutai?
In 1974, Roy Worchester took a photo of a very intact zero sitting in a revetment at Babo airfield. Still sitting on landing gear"

General Discussion / Re: 4.12 is released

« on: June 19, 2013, 07:51:34 »

I'm doing good. On a week of vacation after working 60-70 hour weeks for the last 6-months.

I really don't have much faith in UP anymore. I've heard too many bad things about the FM modifications. I guess the only thing to do is wait to see the reviews upon release, but it will still be 1 patch behind. I'm sure with the release of 4.12, the HSFX guys are busy working to implement all the changes that patch brings. UP will have to start all over to incorporate 4.12 and there is no assurance that RRR will even be in the new UP. I don't know if Zuti is bringing his mod to UP or not. [edit] I just read some posts on the UP forum and it seems the code will be a mix of 4.10.1, 4.11.1 and according to Hades 4.12. Sounds like a hodge podge to me. I think I am going to stick with flying stock for a while longer.

Rain again today - Friday. I live near a beach, but may as well live on the moon. Summer seems to equal shit weather in Japan. 1 day too hot/humid, next day a typhoon, next day hot, next day rain. The beach is so dirty with trash and even hypodermic needles now that I don't walk on it anymore.

I'm still flying at RAAF website. RAAF Smooch and the guys there invite all of KU to come fly. I know the ping is very high, but it is still flyable with very little lag. They are hoping to get 4.12 up and running on their server by Thursday, which is next squadron flying day. 1930ish maybe 2000 JST.

General Discussion / 4.12 is released

« on: June 18, 2013, 10:30:52 »

It's here, it is finally here. 4.12 came out. Must install over fresh 4.11, I've read that if you disable HSFX and try to install 4.12 it will not work. I had a backup of 4.11. I made a folder and called it UBISOFT 4.12 then copied my backup into that folder. Ran 4.11.1 and ran that. Then I ran 4.12 and ran that. Worked fine. Download was very fast. Widescreen is great, full screen map is great. FMB changes to object names is GREAT~!.
