DO NOT save this to your computer as it is a piece of malware from some east European country. Usually Russia. It wants you to buy the product. Sometimes these will automatically self install. Once installed you cannot use what you already have for antivirus software, or defrag your computer. It can also lock up your computer and you won't be able to even shut it down.

This has happened to me a couple of times and is no fun at all to get rid of. I couldn't even use Microsoft Security Essential to get rid of it. Not even using Add/Remove in your Control Panel will get rid of it. The only way to get rid of it is to do a System Restore to an previous date. Then run your antivirus software to get it all out.

It happens every so often to me as well when downloading stuff from mediafire. My antivirus (nod32) prevents a popup windows of my browser from loading, and I get an alert. But this doesn't prevent the regular download from being downloaded, and I've never had any annoyance other than having to close manually the blocked window.

:o
so this is where that window is redirecting?

I am sorry guys. Since many subsim members are using medifire for hosting their files, I was thinking that it was a reliable site. Do you know any good alternative to it, that allows for free memberships without removing temporarily inactive downloads? :hmm2:

Hi :salute:

For me : Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/ (2 GO free)

A few days ago I've found this site:

http://www.navweaps.com/

It provides detailed information on common naval weapons from 1880 to today. So far I've found data on the following specs:

- Main countries using a given gun, (including its variants);
- Year (month in some cases) that the gun came in service for each country that used it;
- Main ship classes equipped with that gun (with information on the variant used);
- Rate of fire (cyclic and approximate practical rate);
- Ammunition used and shell specs for each country;
- Muzzle velocity for each kind of ammunition;
- Gun's range at different elevations (for some of the shells used);
- Historical ammunition stowage per gun;
- Elevation and train angles;
- Elevation and train rates;
- Gun's recoil.

I think there are more datas here than we can accomodate in the limited SH5 balistic model. Besides this, for some guns are provided as well figures on shielding/harmor of the gun, harmor penetration for some of the shells used by it (as a function of distance from target and angle of inpact), and rough information on gun's dispersion.

Anyone interested in a SH5 guns/DC overhaul mod? :D

Thank you BIGREG :up:
any other suggestion?

I use gamefront for main mods and rapidshare for throw away mods (tests etc) and think thinking of switching to medifire - perhaps I won't.

I always have issues downloading mods from medifire - takes about 10 goes having to type in some weird word "scramble my brain" etc just to try again. With the usual "download failed - do you want to try again":doh:

Thank you too Trevally! :)

Problem with gamefront is that it got strict rules on "unactive downloads". It is quite boring having to reupload every so often mods that haven't been downloaded for a while. Indeed, this is not a big deal with very popular mods like OHII or NewUIs. The same goes for rapidshare.

On the other hand, I have never had big issues downloading from mediafire. Usually, when the "download failed" message pops up it doesn't take to me more than a second attempt for getting the file. If not, doing right click on the download button and selecting "save target as" does the trick. ;)

As for dropbox, suggested by BIGREG, my only concern is its limited storage size: I've still a huge emblems mod and an as big EIAR radio mod cooking on my HD, and I wish all my mods to be stored in the same space. :)

Here i have found this one with 15 GO free : http://www.4sync.com/

edit : the latter was not free

Thank you again BIGREG, I'll give them a try! :yeah:

It requires the installation of an external software. I thought it was fully online :hmm2:

other this one with 5 GO free : https://www.box.com/pricing/ ditto for this one : https://www.ccloud.com/ other this one : https://drive.google.com/start#home
and an other : http://www.idrive.com/?p=jason_keeley
Yes for the identification and to make a folder ,but the files stay online :yep:

Gap, it's not MediaFire's fault. They need to be contacted and run their antivirus software, or make sure their ads are safe. As long as this one doesn't selfinstall it's not that harmful. You can close it out. Actually, this is the first time I've seen this pop up on MediaFire. Ususally MF is on top of things.

I have just signed up for and started using this one:up:

Noone :06:

Do you guys mean that there is another mod around here, dealing with historical guns specs?

Yet I clearly rememeber recent complaints about unrelistically accurate enemy gun's aim, incorrect min and max ranges, shells doing too much or too little damage, etc :hmmm:
