I wonder where those files are hidden in win 7

All the configuration settings from config.sys are now in the registry.

autoexec.bat can still sometimes be found in the root of your c:\ drive if you have "hide protected operating files" unchecked but windows doesn't actually use the file any more.

Hi all,

It's only been, umm, about 3 months since our dedicated machine for server #1 has been restarted. It has been running IL2COD 24/7 in that time. Every time I think I'll get a chance to do a little maintenance on the beast, there's always someone playing or in TS3.

With that said, we DO need to perform some computer maintenance in a bad way. Today has got to be that day. With that said, in an hour 4PM EST the machine will be rebooted and updated. TS3 will be down for 5 minutes tops. The game server will be down for just a tad longer as we install a new program for IL2COD and update windows.

Just FYI.. When it goes down it won't be down long. And server #2 will be up and be able to fly on.

Thanks

All done.

Are you sure? Maybe they had just spawned all on the south coast of England rather than spread out.

Just got CLod and went on the ATAG server and most planes say unavailable to select. Whats up with that?? Are there any instructions on how to get into a game??

Hi Oldschool,

Sorry for your trouble. I just logged in and selected an aircraft (Spit I at Manston) just to test -- no problem there. However, I noticed that of the 11 players currently on the ATAG server, the longest had been on only 15 minutes.

This coincides with the timing of your attempt to log in. I suspect that by unhappy coincidence you had logged in just as the server was resetting (which happens approx every 4 - 5 hours, less if one side achieves all of its target objectives laid out in the map briefing). Please give it another try and let us know, when you can, if you succeeded.

OldSchool,

The list of planes is there for you to jump into an existing plane. This only works if you are near that plane.
What you probably need is:
1.- Click on the flags above to select your army
2.- Once on an army, select a base to spawn from on the map at the left.
3.- You will then be presented with a default plane for that base. Click on the plane name, just above the plane image and select the one you prefer. (Note you will only see the planes available for that particular base).
4.- Click fly.

Hope this helps and we see you in the ATAG skyes!
