As posted in questions about SoW, it goes on with the check function.

implement the terrible must have anti piracy function in SOW. Due the many threads I can't locate the answer, so my apologies for this one, if possible refer to thread please.

Oleg, team(s), Olge,

As a virtual squadron (EAF, 1Java and my 322Squadron) we use Il2 since first release on Lan / museum events. On several occasions there is NO connection to the net to authenticate anti piracy. What are the options to run the network missions on such occasions?

Regards.

Animals! Great. Just make sure Daniel stays away from the sheep.
I bet he is from Maine, USA.
Maine, where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.

About the DRM, stayed away from RoF because of it. Now that they
got rid of it I'll buy the boxed Iron Cross that will be released soon.

It's your 'more bullets' sig that has him confused, he has fallen prey to the common misconception that trigger happy rednecks only live in the states. Truth is we can be found all over the world. (but mostly in the more rural areas)

Ok, I'm going to risk it, and I'll finally start to let myself get excited !

In your DP, is it this 109:



Just visited that museum last Saturday in the squad meeting.

EDIT: it now has the engine cowling closed, and some planes around it have changed.

Right, Erkki! I found the picture on http://www.virtualpilots.fi/en/hist/...mersukansi.jpg
Although I live in the Netherlands I speak Finnish. I'm bilingual.

I think the cockpit weathering is fine, except for the ratty brown strip of paper on the right, it looks like it was recovered from a wreck that is 40 years old.
To me that cockpit looks like it is used but newish, which I think would be the default for 109es in the BOB.

I would think that a very thin coat of paint would be used for interiors. Weight is an issue. It wouldn't take much to scratch it if that's the case. I could be wrong ( - usually am!).
The buses where I live recently installed new ticket machines. They only had a thin coat of paint. After only a couple of weeks they were scuffed and scratched and looked ten years old.

I think StarForce ProActive (such as seen in DCS: Black Shark and Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2) is the way to go.

It is easy to use, doesn't install any driver and works with activation. Once you type the activation key, it removes itself from the computer. Then it's just having fun with your brand-new game without worrying with any DRM.

I've never seen any problems related to that - it works for both sides: makes a pirate's life harder without bothering the costumers.

I can't see why it shouldn't be used.
