“No trees. Help.”
“Time travel to 2012.”
“That fixed it. Why?”
“Uh, don’t ask…”

1. Dogfight 1942 asy ~ 7• 31 Jul, 2014 g 4:18pm Cant see the trees How i can fix this? i cant see the trees. comankh ~ 1 Aug, 2014 @ 12:05pm set your computers date back to 2012 asy ~ * 1 Aug, 2014 @ 4:18pm thank u very mutch, it works:) aguswings - * 21 Aug, 2014 © 3:10pm how come this help? asy ~ * 21 Aug, 2014 @ 3:12pm yes it works, works for me:) Jakub Majewski (Quarto) ~ * 22 Aug, 2014 © 8:16am] Uh, don't ask :). It's due to some kind of mess-up in the code. We used an external "plugin", called Speedtree, to display trees in Dogfight 1942. For whatever reason, if the game detects the date is later than 2012, it decides that the Speedtree license is invalid, so the trees don't show up. We don't really know why this is the case, and as I've explained in another thread, there isn't anybody from the team left at City Interactive who could produce a patch, so the bug's here to stay.

  @shanecelis @unsaturated exactly. I'm not "cracking" the software, I'm restoring it to full functionality like one of those guys who remove all the rust and re-paint old machines
