JG77 had a busy New Year in 1945.

Surly and I had a great time watching this badboy come in.

As you may have noticed, our TeamSpeak server is currently down. In troubleshooting the problem, I get the following from my right-hand web dude, Oz…

Strange Brew Updated

A few posts ago, I mentioned that A Complete Waste Of Space and myself did a Cream song called Strange Brew. We re-did some of the parts and the new mixdown is now available on that post.

Tracks through time…

Been going through some old CD and DVD data discs looking for Amie’s Neverwinter Nights character backups and discovered some Forgotten Battles tracks from December 2003. In watching one of them, I actually remember the mission. How wild is that?

My best-guess estimate is that I have over 600 NTRK files from FB that still playback just fine in today’s Pacific Fighters 1946. Wow. If you haven’t already checked the Pilot Face thread in the forums, please do so. I’m very enthusiastic to get the squad faces on pilot skins.

Neverwinter Final Patch

Hey, I know we’ve all played NWN in the past and have decided to get the groove on again. Just to let everyone know, the final 1.69 Patch has been released. I always download the critical update build so it updates any version. Also, remember that since a few patches ago, there no longer is any disc checks, which is nice.

Also, I can’t help but to recommend you download the Community Expansion Paks. I have the last in the 1.5x series and the current 2.x series installed as well as the music packs, texture packs, etc. You can find the download pages at the NWVault.

Strange Brew

A few of us goofballs over at A Complete Waste of Space got together and did Strange Brew by Cream. It was fun. I only did some of the mixing, mastering, and vocals. Check it out!

It’s gettin’ hot in here…

A few site things, Squad vs. Squad Stuff, and a reminder about video cards. First, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. The wife and I cooked our first Thanksgiving meal by ourselves. It was fun, and surprisingly easy. I thought it was hard to cook a turkey.

I posted this thread on SimHQ’s forums. We did get a couple responses. One encouraged us to follow up on IL2 War (which uses a custom variety of the MOD), and the other might be interested in SEOW. Please read the thread and post in the forums which direction you think we might want to go.

The wife and I were going to get our Neverwinter Nights groove on this weekend, but I found out that my work computer video card’s fan died. When trying to run a 3D application, you could literally cook an egg on the chipset. I could replace the fan or simply buy a new video card. As it turns out, there are several AGP nVidia cards on NewEgg, much better than what I have installed, for around $40. Uh. If you need a card upgrade for your PC, and if it has an AGP slot, I can’t recommend enough you look at some of the older nVidia cards out there. I just ordered a 6200 256MB card for $39.99.

I tried to upgrade the forums this weekend and nearly lost everything. I need to take my own advice and be sure to backup before I start. I’m not sure what is going on, and I may try to do it again in the near future—a little more carefully this time. Sorry for the down-time in the forums… if you noticed.

Looks like 7./JG77!

I recognize the regiment!

Forgotten Skies in November

We had a good mission this last Tuesday with Faustnik, Surly, Tolwyn, Bruno, and Hayzee reporting in for duty. I recorded a bit of the ship run. This is a bit different from my other videos… it was taken mostly from the rear-gunner position. Click the “read more” link to see a video!I hope you enjoy the video. Here it is:
