  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Ravenna,

Update: I think I've got it. I had to go into the command prompt (making sure to select "run as administrator") and type in this: net user administrator /active:yes

This enables the "secret" administrator mode in Windows 10.

Ravenna,

Continuing to have issues as the folders are STILL listed as "read-only," so with administrator privileges, I have right-clicked on each folder, clicked on the security tab, and then "edit," and clicked on "full control." as the Creator Owner, and finally clicked "apply."

We'll see how this goes...:banghead:

Ravenna,

That didn't work either. I'm ending up having to run CFS2 under a separate login as a local administrator. At this point, it seems to work normally. But what a colossal pain in the arse.

Rami,

Are you having this problem with other Mission Builders/ installs?

Ravenna,

As long as I am in the Administrator logon, not a one. If I'm in my "normal" logon, every single bloody one is write-protected. :banghead:
 
Just a thought, maybe if the programs are installed in C: drive and not in Program Files, things, and editing will work better.

Ravenna,

Being stubborn has its advantages. :p87:

And yes, I am running it right now in administrator mode with no issues. When I upgrade my desktop, now I know how to slay this mother****ing dragon. :encouragement:

Good morning,

I have upgraded my desktop to Windows 10 without any issues; the learning curve from the laptop experience made it much easier, because I knew precisely what to do. :encouragement:

Thanks Rami. My virgin Win10 stll won't load MB. I'll try your procedure when I talk to you on Skype. :wiggle::wiggle:
 
I tried Rami's solution of building my connection to cfs2 from an administrator log in, transferred the shortcuts from my old desktop to the new one. And lo... MB is now working! :applause::applause:

I just bought a powerful new Win10 desktop -HP with an I-9 processor a 16 Gig Nvidia video card, and 32 Gb RAM! My next project is to see if I can set up a "Virtual Machine" on it and see if I can't run Win7 on it., using the VM function That would bypass a lot of the Win 10 problems. :dizzy: I'll keep you posted on how that goes as soon as I can get my daughter off it. :banghead: :wiggle:
 
Wow, Rams! I'm going to have to save this thread and walk through it to get Win10 able to run MB in my CFS2 installs. The whole reason I purchased a GT1030, which is a sucky card, do NOT buy one!, was to have my Win 7X64 machine for MB. DD73.
 
I got MB to work in Windows 10X64.
I can change aircraft and nationalities.
I can start new missions with waypoints.
I can put in triggers.
I can put in events.
I can save the above.

I CANNOT put in any scenery objects, aircraft as objects, ships as objects, anything as objects.

Grrrr.

Transferring to my Windows 7 machine to work on MB projects.......

DD,

Where do you have your install of CFS2?
My WIN10/64 did what yours has done. I moved the sim to my D drive ( no more annoying calls for administrator approval) and pointed the MB at the new location. It allows me to place objects etc but it crashes when I try to set up weather, time, objectives etc. My work around is to do those manually after saving the mission.

Ravenna,

I have multi-installs.
On my Win10X64 machine they are C:\users\(my_name)\Battle for Europe\CFS2, & Battle of Britain\CFS2, & Battle of France\CFS2, etc.

The same is true for my Windows 7X64 machine.

I have pristine installs of CFS2 on both machines in the default locations and ONLY use those to copy source files FROM.

I am not able to save anything in Battle for Europe installs. It immediately CTD as soon as I click on any infrastructure button at the top of MB screen.

I am able to work MB in Normandy in my BPF Meridian MB install. So I have installed a minimum of scenery and ETO objects to that install and have about 1/3 of the Atlantic Wall Bunkers in layouts at Normandy.
Though, I have work to do on the terrain differences. For whatever reason(s) the coast line at Normandy has water up on land along the coast.
My Battle for Europe install does not.
