    1st "bug": I can't join any squad nor someone invited by me can't join my squad.
    I tried it already several times with several folks (and they tried among themselves too). After sending an invitiation and other person accepting it, system says something like "system can't join squad now".. anyone?


    2nd "bug": looks like a FE thing.. Sometimes while in dogfight I've been thrown to 6,6 cross, with the plane crashed on the ground, engine smoking and the plane rolling... Not a frequent thing but annoys me when I'm in a middle of a dogfight. :) This happens only in Win98.. on Win2000 that didn't happen.. anybody knows what is going on? Any solution? Someone mentioned it could be an anti-cheat system.. :confused:

    That's it.. thanks guys. :)

    The 1st bug is due to, AFAIK, the limitation in number of squads

    Hi thrapt

    Yes, that happened yesterday when I tried to create a new squad. But today I was trying to invite a person to my squad (already created)... system gave same message. :confused:

    # of pilots in sq currently? count from arena, not scorepages.

    just restart WB.
    one of the causes of this is crashing on the ground with extreme speed (1000 km/h for example).
    ive detected it once inflight when i took i16 to high speeds (this bug already fixed).

    ooopsss! :shuffle:
    My bad.. 36 pilots.. sorry :)


    No, it is not a crash-land bug...
    most likely it happens when I'm furballing (no matter of altitude)... then when I "born again", the planes is all messed up... I must restart WB...

    Oh yes :D
    Just forgot the word :)
    but back to the topic.. no matter of how many times I respawn, the plane appears crashed on the runway... only resetting WB fixes this.. until this 6,6 thing happens again.

    Guess again nicae.

    It is a reg key. If you do a little hunting you will find the logins in a key and the password, both will be encripted.

    They will be numbered. If you have multiple ID's your first will be Login0 and the next Login1, etc. with password keys to match password0 password1, etc. Save those reg values. Then reinstall. Then restore the reg values.

    If you have any aliases you want to save you should save the aliases key and all sub keys as well.

    WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!!!
    Editing your registery is dangerous. And can lead to system instability. Do not edit your registry unless you feel comfortable doing so!

    As I see it that is technically saving it from FreeHost Launcher. It is the FreeHost Launcher Key in the registry. A key that without the program wouldn't be there. Since without FreeHost Launcher the key wouldn't be there it is saving it from the program. Can I help it if the developers didn't put that in the program as a function. I know they should have, but they didn't.

    See you in the air.
