Without a doubt CONGRATS! Have fun. Erik

Now if I can only get my new player to sling a side arm there would have only been one us walking out of there. Oops maybe I said too much. Erik

Freeware is always tough when it comes to getting all the cool toys. I can mention off the top of my head the feelthereCRJ, PMDG737, PMDGB1900, FlightOne ATR72-500 are probably the best available but not free. You're welcome to visit the westcoastatc.com site for links and freeware from our file library, there's been some contributions there as well. Have fun. Erik

Credit where credit is due. I just manage the empty rolls in the porta stalls around here. Join with me in extending our appreciation to Brandon for tearing into this with his vast knowledge of the IPB Systems. Thank you Brandon! Our appreciation to MK2 for being the man with the vision. Thank you MK2! Our appreciation to USAFMTL for being the guy having the ideas to get it done. Thank you USAFMTL! Our appreciation to Fates for everything else and putting up with me. Thank you Fates! Back to work 'duty' calls. Erik

Hi; I think this file and documentation would be best served on the file server. That way people can find it easily, especially when this thread gets buried. Our goal is to provide you the place and opportunity to share your work with others. Nice job on the sound pack hope to see it in the files directories. Take care; Erik

Got a link for me?

Always a pleasure providing for a vocal and appreciative group such as yourselves. Take care; Erik

Howdy; Some points of interest you might consider but aren't really what you're asking. I don't have anything compatible to help give you an idea of an acceptable playability level (bench mark) for your machine but ... System Resources - Check your task manager to see what's loaded and running in the background before starting your game. You might want to consider stopping some of the services on your machine depending of course on what's loaded. Everyone manages their environment differently so going into detail probably won't help. If it were me I'd want to know what services are running, why they are running, and why I haven't shut them off. Memory - I was told that matched sticks of memory are always the way to go when more than one memory stick is in use. So matched pairs like two 512 sticks or two 1 gig sticks both with the same speed 5ns etc are optimal. I only mention this because 784 in any configuration I'm aware of is unmatched. Love to hear any views on this if anyone has any. Front Side Bus - I'd say the most limiting factor of your machine is the FSB. In your next upgrade or purchase spend the extra cash if able for an 800 or Gig FSB. Again I'll say I've never played WOV on a machine like yours that I can tell you if this is the problem. I only make mention of the FSB as it's the bottleneck in most configurations where demand is high. AGP Apature Size - I'd check your system bios to make sure your machine is set for the 256 AGP Apature Size, or matched to your card (ie 128 to 128 etc) Settings that don't match here can really slow your machine to a crawl. If you're in doubt of your card's size, check the Manufacturer's Site for details. **Note: All information above is to be considered helpful advice. There are many members of the community more qualified to help than myself I'm sure, hopefully they'll chime in and correct my errors or thinking as necessary. **Subliminal Message** B*U*Y**A*L*I*E*N*W*A*R*E ** Take care; Erik

fixed the calendar links, fixed a major problem with the components of mambo we're back in business folks now I'm happy again, fixed the email issue for fates, fixed the contacts display issues, and continuing to fix some other odds and ends while I'm on a roll. Erik

Well I think I'm done editing all the images and such, thoughts? Erik

Hi everyone; If you notice a link to a specific file is broken, meaning you click the download button from either the "server" or the "mirror" and you get a message that the file can't be found, please report it. There's a place available in the download area to report broken links, and you're welcome to post a note here about it. This will help us define what files are missing and need to be restored or need to be removed from our download index as they no longer exist or the author has removed the file. Thanks in advance; Erik

New recruit orientation day.

Hi Ghost; It's probably my warped sense of humor. I thought it would be funny to brand my avatar with some corny duality. Sort of like I named my dog DeeOhGee. Where some might look at it and say it's a turbofan and nacelle and others would think I was describing myself. I enjoy anything that burns JetA, solids, and liquids that produces more than 25,000 pounds of thrust. Erik

Welcome!

:: peeps out from behind his desk :: I've been here! Where have you guys been? The donuts needs to be freshened up and the coffee is rank, didn't someone say we were hiring a girl friday? Hmmm ... Welcome everyone, it's great to meet you all, and I know this is going to be a great time. I already recognize a few faces. Small world this big blue marbel we live on. Take care everyone; Erik

uhhh ... there's probably no getting to the bottom of it I did it. ::puts on hockey gear:: Without thinking about it, I upgraded the photo gallery and forgot we had a voting contest running. Sorry guys. Data is now in the "land of the lost" Erik

Gentlemen; Part of the developments here at BioHaz include the addition of new services to your already awesome home.

Please use the new accomodations as if they were part of the BioHaz community, because they are. Best regards; Erik Thompson

Jeroen; Looks like seven days left possibly more. I'll bet you can give the guys a run for their money. Hopefully you'll get a chance. Erik

It's a pleasure to be working with such a great group. Together the path we blaze into history is only limited by our imaginations. Let's have some fun. Erik
