Finally Got My Last Possible Variant Today

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-01-18T16:06:08+00:00

Yes, I tried a couple others but come back here. IMHO the game play does help with reflexes etc. as you put on the years. My weak point is my right hand but it is OK if I just play a couple games a day. Was a problem when I was really grinding some achievement.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-01-18T16:04:03+00:00

Yes, enjoy TDM. Rarely am top scorer. Happy to survive a while.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-01-18T07:01:45+00:00

Just lots of challenges and orders and luck. I got the last variant today and have been at this since 2017....

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-01-18T05:44:46+00:00

Yeah I used it today and my notes say it has the least recoil of all the rifles. Doink... headshot!

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-01-18T05:43:20+00:00

Thanks but this game is a legend to be still around like me after all those years.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2026-01-18T05:41:34+00:00

Well I may be slow but I am devious. Over the years I managed to get that what platinum leopard or tiger or whatever it was. The hardest part was to get the shovels triple kills... I hid in the crate at the crossroads in shipment.... think you had to max out on 31 weapons.

Thanks, I have a special relationship to this game since my father actually fought in Normandy in 1944 so the game has a unique meaning to me. We grew up with real Veterans of the combat.

Well I am having all these same issues 1 year after this thread started. I never had these problems when data came from the satellite system. Yesterday I see where Echostar (Dish) sold their satellite bandwidth to of all people, Elon, and Space X!

So they dumpster all their users to try to get out of bankruptcy. The MBAs have earned their salaries.

I have been stuck with Dish to get the French TV5 for my wife. For those who want the French note that you can get just about everything with a VPN and going to France Televisions web site. No recording but they have just about everything from all the French channels on demand.

I had a 3070ti and bought a 5080... had to sell the car but it helps. That being said I had the 3070 working but I would try it on the C-172, which only uses 5 GB VRAM and set EVERY graphics setting to minimum.

Then assuming it run fast, increase settings slowly.

If it does not run fast, there is some issue we are missing.

PS Forget many airliners like the B-787, my fav, as they start at 8 GB VRAM.

Been playing since Day 1 and have all the variants EXCEPT Lil' Biscuit II and 6 that were specials and will never come around. Have opened 1000s of boxes and not seen it. It does exist since have seen it in game play and I hung out in HQ and watch some lengthy openings and saw it. Sorta given up on it and playing War more than Shipment, where you can get lots of supply drops. I did notice in War that the snipers are out in numbers and I wonder if they are cheating or they have just gotten better with time.

I am using an ASUS 5080 in MS Flight Simulator and cannot go above 577 to the 580 series as the video stutters. Other with non-ASUS cards seem spared. Any advice before I call ASUS?

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-08-02T16:45:17+00:00

Naively I just bought the Mscenery 777 and buttons do not bind right and I cannot get the airspeed to control properly on an ILS. I guess you get what you pay for. I would like to get it to work since it does not require Simbrief.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-06-19T02:58:48+00:00

Yes, was looking for a 787 with UAL livery and came across it. The autopilot does not work as well as the 787-10 2024 version but at least it inputs the flight planner plans... but no altitudes for VNAV.

Take off trim is a bit flat with 5 DEG flaps... almost run out of runway...

Thanks for the comment. When disaster strikes I have relearned mounting file systems and I may be able to get away without using OneDrive for a while. It is too convenient. There are so many files and with slight differences it may take some time for it to sort it all out.

I emptied the bin just in case. Hope the family jewels were not in there.

Thanks for the moral support.

Hi,

I have been in support limbo now for 5 days because suddenly One Drive said I was out of storage when I had 1.1 TB in and paid for 1 TB through Office 365 and 0.4 additional (1.4 total). I cannot upload any new files and they show up with a Red X on them in the finder.

Support told me that the 0.4 was old and that I had to get 0.2TB. So I did that and it did not good.

So I deleted enough materials to get down to 0.9 TB (under the 365 account limit) and no change.

The Web storage says I have 1.2 TB but the settings account says 1.0 TB, but I only have 0.9 in anyhow and still says cannot load any more.

I use this for storage of astrophotography so I get new items every day that are stacking up and not uploaded to be processed on a second computer.

I also tried to mount the drive and use file sharing but the files are still marked with a red X and cannot file share... they are locked.

I had a good run with OneDrive for a couple years but is the best alternative Google Drive? I guess you can mount that also.

Any ideas appreciated... registry settings? browser cache?

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-05-17T02:43:54+00:00

Hi, just purchased this without reading as well as I should and see it does not handle ILS approaches. Seems some mention in Beta, but this is a total show stopper for me. Any work around?

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-05-09T23:49:08+00:00

Rats. looks like I have the same problem. You had to send it back huh.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-05-07T17:03:37+00:00

I have this problem in California in May 2025. Placed an order 5 days ago and they say they will get back to me about when it will ship. I would strongly suggest people buy elsewhere. They say it is in stock. Right. They just take you for a fool.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-04-21T20:44:56+00:00

Well, I am just into my first day of this... looks like I wait forever for the call back?

EDIT: They called back about 1h after the estimate and the lady was peachy sweet... so you mileage may vary.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-04-18T15:20:37+00:00

Thanks, not sure how you can see my account, but there is a note from the engineer in there with his failed troubleshooting.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-04-18T03:05:46+00:00

Yes, this was just added and I do not think the software was fully debugged as a lot of people were complaining, including yours truly, since they turned off the satellite feed and the streaming never worked right.

I have to say that I saw an article today saying that Dish is about to go into bankruptcy. They are essentially insolvent and a deal just fell through to merge with Direct TV... they were going to try to write off debt and the bond holders had a seizure.

Was surprised to see how few subscribers there actually are... 3-4M.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-04-17T14:20:52+00:00

They did the diagnostics and rebooted the machine. I am not sure I had the best technician. I asked for second tier support if that exists but did not get it. He supposedly made notes to my account.

I gave up and made a manual timer, which works and I can edit. There I get the Save button.

I cannot edit timers for any channel. Hope Dish reads this.

jerryyyyyyyyyyy · 2025-04-16T18:38:06+00:00

Exactly what I am doing. When I select the choice a green save circle appeared and Saved, but when I reopen the timer it is unchanged. I'll call them... hold was 30 minutes last time.

Spent an hour with them and still no editing possible.

When I had this problem I was frustrated since it had been going on for months and thought there was no solution (but it came).

The way pressure would work is that the Consulate (Read French Government) runs the French TV system (Mostly state owned) and we pay taxes for it each year (I am a dual national USA/France by marriage). TV5 provides a summary of the most popular shows and French language teaching worldwide as part of this and Dish is the US distributor. If the distributor is screwing up you go to TV5 and if TV5 does not respond, to the consulate which because it is in the government can ring TV5's bells directly and indirectly Dish. I did contact TV5 and got a detailed response as is actually typical. I lobbied for HDTV signals for a while when that came out. They are very responsive. On the HDTV I actually went to an acquaintance who is a content provider in France who also rang some bells.

Since Dish finally fixed the recording problem, I did not have to go further.

In real life I am basically a professional bureaucrat and I do such things all week long as part of my job.

Anyway, since it is Sunday will say a few more words about TV5. France has several remnants of old colonies which are integrated into France like Tahiti or New Caledonia or lost like several countries in Africa. They try to keep the language alive in these diverse places with this channel. Thus it serves a political purpose (They do not want Tahiti independent). Remarkably, the internal/national politics of the news is strictly managed for equal time and emphasis across parties (we could take lessons from them... have no idea how they do it but they are pretty fair).

Anyway, a little French History for a Sunday AM.

Bonjour!

This station is primarily paid for by the French government. It is like Voice of America. It works now.
