    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

Padlock View

Anyone know if it is possible and how to change the padlock view, so that the view does not deselect and return to the center after the downed enemy plane crashes to the ground? This happens in Wings over the reich and I find it very interesting. I would like to do the same with CFS3, BoB, ETO, etc...
 
guys, no one knows how to change the padlock to the WoTR way? I keep looking... in my searches I went to the configoverrides.xml file in the appdata/roaming folder and found the aircraftmodels scale maxdim information in 1024. I changed it to 2048 and noticed an improvement in the quality of my aircraft in the simulator. could someone test this?

If such an entry existed for cfs3 it would be in the AppData/ViewUI.xml (specific to the install). There is a brief SDK which you can find in the stickies here, which will give you a start int what the ViewUI is all about. After the odd bits I've found trawling temp .dmp files, I'd even try a few plausible entries in the ViewUI if there isn't anything already there to adjust!
 
David, what are these temp .dmp files and how do you view them?

Also, glad to see you back!

Thanks Daiwilletti for the tip but after a lot of searching and testing I can't find how not to unlink the padlock view when the enemy explodes on the ground, a shame because it makes all the difference flying in WOTR.

Hi Daniel, I'm sure we've talked about this before! I sent you a cleaned-up version of one of the files - winnowed a few 100kb of useable txt from megabytes of hieroglyphics. All in an AppData Temp folder, editable with notepad. I think you've had far too much work on if you've forgotten...:biggrin-new:
 
At this point I feel like I've forgotten more than I currently know! I'll have to look through and see if I can find it.
