Thanks. Been having some fun other then being rusty in same ways. I don't bomb much in IL2 and it shows. Dropped 4 bombs today on 2 gvs and got nothing. Guess I need to go back to bomb**** school.
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding some of the info for this skin, which is the first of the two Typhoons and a Jug I am skinning for next month's FSO.
"A for Archer" was the Typhoon of Pilot Officer Bob Fox of 438 Squadron RCAF during the winter of 1944/45. This aircraft survived the Luftwaffe's New Year's Day attack on 438's airfield at Eindhoven and was flying patrols later that day.

Guns only head on engagements are the most visceral entanglements and I've enjoyed setting many of those up with a cinematographer present. Of course any well trained military pilot will avoid this if their weapons platform has a stand off advantage. We'll assume all missiles have extinguished their foe prior to the up close and personal tryst.

ICMP is the protocol ping uses. It is often disabled for security reasons. However, if bbs.hitechcreations.com replies to pings from one IP but not another then obviously ICMP is not disabled by bbs.hitechcreations.com. Hypothetically it could be blocked for some IP addresses but not others. In this instance that is not the case. As I suggested previously and Hitech confirmed, it is a routing issue with the provider Frontier. I can illustrate further how that can be should anyone actually be interested.
