    Post 16 Update

    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.

Ravenna,

Update: I think I've got it. I had to go into the command prompt (making sure to select "run as administrator") and type in this: net user administrator /active:yes

This enables the "secret" administrator mode in Windows 10.

Ravenna,

Continuing to have issues as the folders are STILL listed as "read-only," so with administrator privileges, I have right-clicked on each folder, clicked on the security tab, and then "edit," and clicked on "full control." as the Creator Owner, and finally clicked "apply."

We'll see how this goes...:banghead:

Ravenna,

That didn't work either. I'm ending up having to run CFS2 under a separate login as a local administrator. At this point, it seems to work normally. But what a colossal pain in the arse.

Rami,

Are you having this problem with other Mission Builders/ installs?

Ravenna,

As long as I am in the Administrator logon, not a one. If I'm in my "normal" logon, every single bloody one is write-protected. :banghead:
 
Just a thought, maybe if the programs are installed in C: drive and not in Program Files, things, and editing will work better.

Ravenna,

Being stubborn has its advantages. :p87:

And yes, I am running it right now in administrator mode with no issues. When I upgrade my desktop, now I know how to slay this mother****ing dragon. :encouragement:

Good morning,

I have upgraded my desktop to Windows 10 without any issues; the learning curve from the laptop experience made it much easier, because I knew precisely what to do. :encouragement:

Thanks Rami. My virgin Win10 stll won't load MB. I'll try your procedure when I talk to you on Skype. :wiggle::wiggle:
 
I tried Rami's solution of building my connection to cfs2 from an administrator log in, transferred the shortcuts from my old desktop to the new one. And lo... MB is now working! :applause::applause:

I just bought a powerful new Win10 desktop -HP with an I-9 processor a 16 Gig Nvidia video card, and 32 Gb RAM! My next project is to see if I can set up a "Virtual Machine" on it and see if I can't run Win7 on it., using the VM function That would bypass a lot of the Win 10 problems. :dizzy: I'll keep you posted on how that goes as soon as I can get my daughter off it. :banghead: :wiggle:
 
Wow, Rams! I'm going to have to save this thread and walk through it to get Win10 able to run MB in my CFS2 installs. The whole reason I purchased a GT1030, which is a sucky card, do NOT buy one!, was to have my Win 7X64 machine for MB. DD73.
 
I got MB to work in Windows 10X64.
I can change aircraft and nationalities.
I can start new missions with waypoints.
I can put in triggers.
I can put in events.
I can save the above.

I CANNOT put in any scenery objects, aircraft as objects, ships as objects, anything as objects.

Grrrr.

Transferring to my Windows 7 machine to work on MB projects.......

DD,

Where do you have your install of CFS2?
My WIN10/64 did what yours has done. I moved the sim to my D drive ( no more annoying calls for administrator approval) and pointed the MB at the new location. It allows me to place objects etc but it crashes when I try to set up weather, time, objectives etc. My work around is to do those manually after saving the mission.

Ravenna,

I have multi-installs.
On my Win10X64 machine they are C:\users\(my_name)\Battle for Europe\CFS2, & Battle of Britain\CFS2, & Battle of France\CFS2, etc.

The same is true for my Windows 7X64 machine.

I have pristine installs of CFS2 on both machines in the default locations and ONLY use those to copy source files FROM.

I am not able to save anything in Battle for Europe installs. It immediately CTD as soon as I click on any infrastructure button at the top of MB screen.

I am able to work MB in Normandy in my BPF Meridian MB install. So I have installed a minimum of scenery and ETO objects to that install and have about 1/3 of the Atlantic Wall Bunkers in layouts at Normandy.
Though, I have work to do on the terrain differences. For whatever reason(s) the coast line at Normandy has water up on land along the coast.
My Battle for Europe install does not.
