Don't worry pal!
..... I'm hopeless and helpless.
OBIO
Hey, Obio just to let you know you're in good company: I've had CFS2 since 2001 and I completed only two campaigns. The first time around the stock US-Navy, and a Battle of Britain converted from CFS1, period.
In the meantime I learned how to tweak dp's, add exh effects, paint prop textures and, above all, keep adding new things to CFS2, expand it and fine tune it. I've been doing only short test flights to check things for the last five years at least, while I begun at least 10 campaigns and flew one or two missions each at the most.
So don't worry, relax and do what you feel most at the moment, it's all about CFS2 and WWII aviation anyway!
One word of advice: it's rather easy finding used hardware, get yourself three or four HDD for a handful of bucks, put them into an external HDD USB case and replicate all you did several times. It's the only way to avoid work loss through HDD crashes, there are quite a few good utilities from HDD manufacturers, like Maxtor for ex., out there to perform disk-to-disk quick copy operations through USB connections. This is what I did in order to avoid possible suicidal tendencies for having lost hundreds (it should spell years) of hours after CFS2. I've got four specular CFS2 copies and three copies of everything I downloaded. Burning DVD's is good as well, but it takes longer.
Thank you for all the work you did for CFS2, my friend!
Cheers!
