... and now we know why the duck crossed the road.

He had help. Staff, inmates, or immaculate lynching this sack of skin only lasted 33 days in a prison a hundred times better than what he offered the girls he kidnapped. He was in isolation and processing through the gateway in the federal system and I'll guarantee he was offered up as the token hooker each night he was there, at least I can only hope. Hitler is in a penthouse compared to this piece of hacked up nose paste. Bye.

To get it you'd need new images at a new altitude and perspective. You're looking at a top down view so of course the terrain is going to appear flat, when you change the perspective say looking forward or looking back it's a totally new image. Check out the same structure in different POV. Vertical View (top down) Horizontal View (perspective) FSX Engine simulating perspective. I don't know any scenery that does this well, and if it does it's done on a smaller scale than an entire state. The cost of producing such images is huge. Google had to set cars in motion to get a street view and I imagine one day they might produce some lower altitude images (there was talk) but it was post phoned due to cost. They instead opted for high resolution images from an orbital position. I've never seen FS scenery that looks like image two above, but if they had it, wow! I'm sure something like that would cost much more than photo real scenery. I think what you're after is a photo real scenery with a photo real perspective. Get out your wallet.

Illinois is so flat I can see how it might give that impression but that scenery is a huge improvement even if the satellite images loose some of the shadows which make 3D and give our eye depth perception. Have you ever seen those street artists who draw the 3D street art? They use the opposite effect of over illustrating shadows to trick the mind, but you have to be standing on the right side of the image to make it work. If for example you stand on the 180 degree polar side your eyes wouldn't see what they see from the POV taken with the camera in the image above. The same happens with the megascenery and I'm not sure how they would compensate for it. The images they use are all taken at a certain altitude at a certain time of day in a certain position relative to the Earth and the Sun. If you are in line with the images POV you see better 3D images, if you are anywhere else your eyes may start to play tricks on you making the scenery look more flat than it really is for example. It's all complicated but given what they had to work with, it's a nice improvement. Roll your scenery back to stock and the difference will become immediate. I'd like to see some of their other terrains that may have more mountainous regions in them. It would be great if they would allow us to do a review of everything they've come out with and will in the future. I think that would be huge for everyone.

A new game I'd like to play and have you all join in on is called, "What the hell was it?" First the back story: I had a bumper crop this spring. Blessed with a brother and sister from the same litter it's a laugh a minute around the house now. They really are quite happy, in fact the little girl has this funny way of smiling. Every time I see it I laugh thinking of that denture commercial here in the states with smiling dogs, but her's is for real. I finally got a good pic of her smile. Anyway the minions as I kindly refer to them like to find odd ball things around the house and chew them into oblivion, test their digestive systems, and rack my mental ability to figure out what it was they've left chewed up on my floor. This weeks entry in What the hell was it is this image: Who can tell me what it was? Have fun!

Yeah they haven't figured out how to get the shaving cream out of the can yet.

Sometimes I humor myself ... I Googled your answer and the images associated to it came up as these. I think you broke the internet.

Because you're one of the cool kids, have a great and amazing birthday! Don't forget to call the fire department either, that many candles on the cake has to be like setting off a three alarm fire in your dining room. Happy Birthday!

Bearing Distance Heading indicator help ..
Erik replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I've seen this gauge on the RIO panel of the F-4 as you indicated it's a bearing distance heading indicator what you have circled is signal strength indication and distance counter. That's my best guess anyway. -
Could you imagine being this guy's parents especially the dad? OUCH...

A man went to a medical specialist to have his penis enlarged. Well, this particular procedure involved splicing a baby elephant's trunk onto the man's penis. Overjoyed, the man went out with his best girl to a very fancy restaurant. After cocktails, the man's penis crept out of his pants, felt around the table, grabbed a hard roll and quickly disappeared under the tablecloth. The girl was startled and exclaimed, "What was that?". Suddenly the penis came back, took another hard roll and just as quickly disappeared. The girl was silent for a moment, then finally said, "I don't believe I saw what I think I just saw... can you do that again?" With a bit of an uncomfortable smile the man replied, "Honey, I'd like to, but I don't think my ass can take another hard roll!"

No sir, not on my watch.

Jug you hold the light at the end of the tunnel. I think you're paid up through 2016 not counting this post above, I keep extending your subscription as you donate but somehow it's not enough. I need to create a new membership account available by invitation only called the "Lifetime Member" I think it's well deserved for you at this point. I can't give you enough kudos or shower you with enough appreciation, so I'll humbly say thank you, and move on. Look for the account change sometime soon, it's going to need a member icon and setting up, but I'll get to it asap.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
