Windows is wierd

Post by :FI:Sneaky_Russian » Thu Feb 08, 2007 4:34 pm

Not a problem - but checking the Switcher folders listed in my il2 46 folder and Windows sorts them thus:-
  • il2_ver04
    il2_ver05
    il2_ver07
    il2_ver08m
    il2_ver071
Now I always thought that "8" came after "7". Guess ya learn something new every day :badgrin:

Yeh I guess that 8 does come after 7 - but before 71? :lol:

The last time I looked the sequence was as Sneaky said.

But that problem is now moot. I had nothing but trouble with switcher. Sneaky sent me some zipped files to help corect the problem (Thanks again, Sneak!), but after a few successful switches the same old errors cropped up again. :cry:

I've deleted Switcher from my HD, updated to v4.08m, and as soon as the axis skins are complete/DL'd/installed I'll uninstall v4.05m, too.

With the limited time I have to fly now I just don't need those kind of headaches. :?

Puzzled by your problems with the switcher Helo.
Dont suppose it will make too much difference though, most of the servers on HL are already on 4.08. Acouple run 4.04m stil and a few 4.05's.

I'll probably trim mine down to just a 4.04m and 4.08 soon.
