Falcon 4 - Configuration

I have been playing Falcon4 for a few years on and off. I have started a few campaigns, but never actually completed one (win or loose) and I'm not very good! However, I'm just about to start a new one and thought I would try to write up my mission reports.

The campaign is Korea 2005 and the situation is:

"The DPRK has launched an all-out attack on South Korea. The Combined Forces of the ROK, the Us 8th Army and 7th Air Force must stop and repulse the invaders."

I am flying an F-16CJ with the 248th FS out of Osan. This is the situation map at the start of the campaign (Day 1, 05:00):



The version I am using is FreeFalcon 3.1 + Cobra 1.1.1 and have been using Frugal's Falcon 4 forum and FreeFalcon as my main sources of information.

Wish me luck!

Mood changes

Isn't it interesting how something like a little walk in the country can really change your mood. This morning I was feeling thoroughly depressed, felt like going back to bed and starting again, tired and irritable.

Me and my boyfriend had said we'd do something today, but by 1:30 this afternoon we hadn't managed to leave the house, or even decide what to do with the afternoon, which was slowly ticking away. We settled on taking a walk up the road into the nearby countryside.

It was a lovely afternoon, warm for February, didn't even need my coat which i took but had ties round my waist.

After only quarter of an hour of gentle exercise was starting to feel happier. We did a route that took us round in a circle, with not too much in the way of hills. It was fairly muddy, which would usually annoy me but didn't today. Walked for 2 hours straight and although i was getting tired by the end, i'd had a complete transformation mood from miserable to happy.

Junk Mail

I've just spent the best part of an hour sorting out post that has built up over the last week or so. Three quarters of it has gone straight into the bin/recycling. Most of the rest is stuff that I feel I ought to keep for a bit, so I'll file it away for now before disposing of it later. It isn't very environmentally friendly sending all this junk mail - besides the actual paper, there's the fuel involved in moving it all around the country! I wish companies would stop sending so much rubbish - it costs them (and therefore us) money, it wastes my time reading it, it wastes huge amounts of paper and the fuel used to transport it all! I really don't think anybody wants it!

Labels

Finally, I have finished labelling my posts. I might change things a bit over time, but I think I've got the basics set up! Now we just need to write more posts!!

Animal Crossing Weather

After several weeks of snow in Animal Crossing, it has completely lost its appeal! Moaning snowmen, blue leaved trees, grey sky every time it snows and white ground have grown old! Bring on the green trees.

That darn cat

Guess who this is about? The other day Fancy, Jeremy and Sally were due at the vets. Sally and Jeremy were due boosters, flea jabs a routine medical check and Fancy was going to have his weigh in plus his flea jab.

So the day of the vet visit came, and Fancy disappeared completely, its like he knew! We asked the vet if they'd see him later if he turned up and they said that would be fine.

He didn't come home until 10 that evening, with a massive gash to his leg and large hole in the back of his ear. I cleaned him up the best I could, will now have to try getting him in for his flea jab, wish me luck!!!

Recovering From A Bad Flash

Dee has had a problem with her computer refusing to boot recently. It was just hanging at "Verifying DMI Pool Data..." I ruled out the hard-drive as the cause because when I plugged it into my computer, it worked fine. I cleared the CMOS and tried again - but that didn't work, so I decided to flash the BIOS to the latest version. It got most of the way through when disaster struck! It rebooted for no apparent reason. The worst thing was that when it booted, it didn't do anything! I shut it down and cleared the CMOS again, but when I powered it up - nothing happened. Everything powered up OK, but there was no 'beep' from the POST tests, no attempt to read the floppy drive - nothing!

Fortunately, all was not lost. I found a company called Biosflash UK who for less than £10 reflashed the chip with the BIOS file I e-mailed , and also sent me a chip extraction tool. When I got it back a couple of days later and put it in, everything worked! It booted straight back into Windows no problem!
