I had that problem on one of my machines. Now I updated my other computer with the newest and I'm getting a crash when trying to create a game. Hmmm, scratch that, I just tried it again to capture the error and it worked. I think it was a .net failed connection error of some kind.

Strato-matic lost me as a customer with their intrusive copy protection methods. And yes, I pre-orderded DIF.

How is the game coming along?

And I'd like to add that I don't think that anybody has to excuse himself for not speaking another language as good as his native language. This is not directed against our English speaking friends, but I don't see why one should have to apologize for being of Finnish, German, or Kizuaheli tongue. </font>

Greywolf, thanks for the interesting post. I'd also like to say you write english very well! You didn't need that disclaimer.

Played a close battle with mTk.... 6-4 for the rising sun.....

Sorry boss, Strider beat me 8-4.

I should be flying this weekend oh great one....

I have the same deal, how do we reach our opponent?

I liked it. As someone else mentioned, they are getting whittled down....

Sadly a cdrom does ZERO to prevent piracy so his suggestion is in no way shape or form out of line. It's a 100% viable distribution avenue that many companies both small and large use.

That Japaneese roster is looking downright nasty! (No offense Brit pilots....)

I actually agree with Bruce. It would be very very nice to be notified in the dialog window as skills are used or activated. Also a way to see pilot skills in game as he mentioned.

I have a wingman with the teamwork skill. How does this work? It states you get a card when the wingman attacks. I just finished a dogfight where my wingman who has this skill launched two attacks and neither he nor my leader got any additional cards. Is this how it should be? How does this skill work?

Say, where do I find the full manual? It was mentioned in the install but I inadvertently clicked through it.

Installing now! Should be fun.

I've had about 15 dogfights online and was dropped once....that drop was on my end though so it doesn't count. My DSL line dropped and I couldn't get anywhere. So some of us are not having this issue at all.

It seemed to have kept the online pilots but not the offline. I didn't test it but there some db files in the $GAMEHOME/bin directory which might preserve them.

Great! Thanks, can't WAIT to play the full version...very well done.

Bongo, I rarely play games online but this one is pretty well suited for online. Plus, the people I've flown with/against have been really nice folk. Your pilot stable is seperated between online and offline stables. Anyway, two points.... 1) Offline is still fun...you can dogfight to your heart's content against the computer 2) You can build up an online pilot flying against the computer if you wish....without playing against any humans while logged in...then when the mood strikes you can jump in against real people. Best of both worlds.....

Thanks for the update!

I would have prefered a patch if it delays the release....so when is the gold demo going to be made available? Before the release ships? Does it differ much from the beta demo? (which was pretty good I have to admit). Any estimate on that ship date also?

Um, not to be ungrateful but I am sort of your customer, a reply of some kind would be polite.

Just curious....can't wait to play the full game. I may buy a second copy for my cheapskate friend so we can play online......
