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 finally got there:

Please excuse the abrupt end to many of the rivers,
I will come back to them later, This features 100's of
miles of coast lines, rivers, inlets, bays and islands.

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
 
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.
 
I'm back

.... 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.


 
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.

Sorry all,
Got caught up in repairing storm damage this weekend,
not mine but my neighbor did not fare so well..More
uploads for the project coming soon.
17" inches of rain in 3 days and 85 mph wind gusts can
lead to a lot of damage. He is in his 80's, served two tours
in NAM and his input has been great for the project, I have
no choice but to put him before the next project releases.
