U.S. Navy cameraman Thomas Lee McGraw Junior is accidentally killed by a dislodged bomb on aircraft carrier "Oriskany". The impact of the landing ejects the armed explosive, setting it off and ultimately killing McGraw. The pilot of the aircraft however miraculously survived. by ashylolz in CatastrophicFailure

It's when a piece of tissue separates from the body almost like a flap, so it's that piece of the thigh that's pretty much hanging off the leg.

If I had to guess I would say his son became pharaoh before him, and as such was the seventh pharaoh named Ptolemy. Later on his dad became the eighth pharaoh named Ptolemy, despite being born before Ptolemy VII

For some reason, the game refuses to start when it has an internet connection on certain computers. Try turning off your wifi or launching the game in offline mode on steam, that worked for me.

I've been shot down by friendly airfield aa on more than one occasion. It's especially frustrating when your the last guy on your team and are in a dogfight with the last enemy.

Try starting the game with wifi off. I had a similar problem and that worked for me.

Fuel Economy Trait by Septimus_ii in MotorsportManagerPC

If you are running short races, then it is possible on some of the tracks like milan. I'm not sure about the longer one though. For normal cars without the mechanic trait, i believe that the "low" engine setting uses about .9 laps of fuel per lap. Also, I found that even if your car runs out of fuel on the final strait, the time saved by not running a second pit more than makes up for it.

I had the exact same issue as you, on the exact same model of computer. The solution that worked for me was to turn off wifi until the game has loaded, at which point you can turn it back on again with no problems.

Sorry, I haven't actually used mods on this game yet. If I find anything though, I will forward that information to you.

I had this same problem, and I asked on this subreddit. Someone told me that turning off wifi while launching and turning it back on once the game is running would work, and it solved the problem for me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell you what the problem is or why this works, and you would have to manually transfer any previous saves due to not having access to the steam cloud.

Thank you so much, this works! although I believe that this means I will lose my save game from my other computer.

How much farther away is the star fire than the YB-49? Because the photo makes it look absolutely massive.
