FLS, your computer is weird. I have never seen anyone have as many problems updating files as you do. What anti-xxx are you running?
It's a terrset message. I don't recall it exactly. I run MSE. When it fails it's usually once then it runs fine the second time. It's the only file I see causing the fail message.

I was getting for the patch and not full install link, this page cannot be displayed. And I was getting the auto download from the game halted at 92% and failed. Rebooted my PC. The auto download worked and had no problems going offline\online.

Wow, the shore battery doubles as a daytime light house. You should see the mussel flash through those optics. Sometimes it's so bright, the flash reflects from my glasses lens and makes my TrackIR stop function for a moment due to a transient light source.

Online custom arena... When changing arena settings, new values are reflected in the arena and shown in the radio buffer, but values are not updated in the clipboard. Double-clicking the clipboard item and hitting 'Ok' without changing it, sets the arena back to that original value that was shown in the clipboard.
Easy to see when playing with the fog values.

In-game update successful - other than that Avast thought this is a dangerous thing to install. Stopped Avast for 10 minutes and finalized the update normally.
Typos on the opening screen clipboard/ Mission, first the title, then the subtitle. Capital letters as shown on the clipboard:
-7 Min Abbs 7 Minute Abs
-Run Though the jungle Run Through The Jungle
-Splah Splash
Joined a couple of missions. At first I noticed the engine sound was loud, then after a couple of seconds it went down to a balanced level compared to the guns. I'm not sure if it's the nearby planes, noticed the enemy plane engine became audible at 600 ft. The step from inaudible to audible is a little too audible, in lack of a better expression.
The F3 outside view in a bomber seemed bouncier than in AH2. The "lens glare" is unbearable, like a bunch of red and green roman candles blasting all around the plane! Might work for keeping bomber pilots inside the cockpit, if that's the intention.

Perhaps a "None" option (which might put them in Tower if they need to be assigned somewhere as a "player") would be good -- for the purpose of turning them off.

Update downloaded and installed fine. Decided to drive into TT on CraterMA offline to take some pictures. Noticed that sounds still come and go randomly. For example the tank tread sound would be present. I'd stop and it would stop. Then I'd start up again and it would not come back. Resetv 3 didn't fix it. It's not just a binary thing either: sometimes the tank track sound is there, but very faint. Sometimes very loud. Sometimes gone. Same for foliage crushing sound.
Next one is confusing, sorry. I drove to the center of TT to take some pictures and noticed that the photogenic mountains circling it (the crater of CraterMA) were gone. I exited and went online to CraterMA and the mountains were back, but the very furtherest distant ones rendered either black or flickered in and out as I rotated my view. Sometimes they would render with black square patches.* I went back to CraterMA offline and the mountains were back. I went searching for a reason. One that I found: online CraterMA foghifarmiles is set to 25 and foglofarmiles is 12. Default offline is 18 and 6. When I go online the offline fog settings pick up the online for that terrain, despite the default and despite restarting the program.

Windows XP is unique in how it handles DirectX graphics. It is easier to run out of resources with Windows XP than with any other operating system. It keeps two copies of all resources required for the video card. One in system RAM and the other in video RAM. A new scheme was adopted with Vista and later operating systems.

I CTD'ed as well, I hadn't hit the ground yet before the CTD. I relogged and it said the AI had crashed.
I have no idea if it was a coincidence or not, but I was messing with engine on and off to see how far away I could hear his engine. I was trying to understand, it seems the enemy engines come in at about 30% volume when you start hearing them instead of a smooth fade in from nothing.
I switched off my engine, tried to switch it back on, it didn't seem to be coming back on. I tried hitting E a couple times with no result I could see/hear, then CTD.

Dohhh! Somehow got it into my head that it was an image format and was trying to open it with a graphics program.
When firing from a SB. Some of the SB have trees close. If you want to fire on a CV that's close to your base an in range of an SB, those trees pose a problem. Likewise, if those trees pose a problem when you try to defend from a SB, if a CV tries to attack a SB, and a tree is in the way of a round from an 8" shell, ..... problem. From a defensive point of view not a problem. From an offensive view, if you are in the SB, that's a big problem. You can't fire on a CV because the trees keep blocking your shots.

I've been doing some offline bomber runs using the 15K bomber spawn that I have put in for testing in CraterMA. The straight and level run takes me over the SE country's city and HQ, each of which are guarded by two flak bases.
I've done about 8 runs in Lancasters and about the same in B-29s. The odd thing is the B-29 seems a lot more susceptible to taking a fatal hit. I lost just one Lanc in those runs and only took any listed damage one other time. However the B-29 takes a fatal hit on every other run and it is always the same type of hit. The hit causes a burning fuselage and 5-10 seconds later the plane explodes. Now I know its not a very big testing sample and the B-29 is a bigger target for the flak but it seems odd nonetheless.
The other thing I noticed is that all the flak bursts are visually sorted behind both the plane and behind clouds which looks odd when much of the flak is much closer than either to my viewpoint.

Beta 3, melee, Crater MA. long film of capture of map. Not much to see. Might be useful, not sure. Beta 3 looking good. When I started the run, had detailed turned down a bit, then turned it up while filming (not sure if that's visible). but, with detail turned down, distance objects appeared to flash frequently, not sure how to describe it... was visible with tree movement when i was looking at mountains. May be normal behavior though as I changed to full detail and that behavior went away.
Also, interesting new buildings. Note the comment about the odd farm building. Not sure what that is? Shower stall, pig stall, or general barn building? Nothing wrong with it, but the way it is composed makes you think of a GI shower hut or a pig/cattle building. too small for cattle though.

Beta 3, melee, crater MA. Not a lot here but interesting when turning graphics all the way up with halo effect. Also, look at co-pilot right side aircraft position, all white no detail. But, halo affect quite strange even not in direct view. When in F3 mode you'd think the halo might disappear. Near the last part of film, you can see odd yellow shadow on gauges, might be intended though.

When updating, Avast identified the update file as infected and stopped execution. Afterwards running the program results in "AHALPHA.EXE HAS STOPPED WORKING".
Blocked process was AHBT002TO003.EXE, listed as Malware-gen (generic malware I believe).
Looks like I will end up uninstalling and reinstalling.

That is a false trigger. Happens with Avast, AVG, and Kaspersky quite often. There really is nothing we can do about it.

That happened so regularly with the Alpha that I used to stop Avast before the installation. Of course surfing adult sites is out of the question until the shields are back on...

I'm having trouble with look up function. Works until I use zoom toggle.

That's a bug from Beta2. Look down also stops working .

I cannot duplicate this with the given information. Here is what I tried with a fresh installation of the game (default cockpit head positions), using mapped buttons on a joystick.
Enter the cockpit of the plane. Press 'Z' to toggle zoom on. Look up and look down work. Press 'Z' to toggle zoom off. Look up and look down work. Looked up, press 'Z' to toggle zoom and it worked. Press 'Z' to toggle off the zoom. Looked down, pressed 'Z' to toggle zoom and it worked.
What am I missing?

I renamed the settings folder and it works normally now. With the bug the gunsight isn't centered until you select the forward view and the forward view becomes an alternate over the nose view that hasn't been set anywhere.
The same thing happened on another PC with a new install of beta 2. Deleting the settings folder fixed it. I don't know which file was causing the problem.

The bug is caused by F9 instant mode. F7 makes it work again. Setting view preferences to default to instant mode also causes it.
