The 5850 is a bit shorter than the 5870 but puts the PCI power connector on the back of the card instead of the top, making it a wash.

Check out TM's home page and they're teasing the announcement of a new all-metal HOTAS. No pictures, no details, just the name "Warthog".

It's not their tech or combat ways that are Stone Age, it's their culture...or what they claim as their culture. The fact that they seem to think they can win and get the world to be THEIR way even though almost no one wants that...

I once asked a Hornet guy (he's a backseater) over at SimHQ about that specifically, and he declined to answer. He didn't give a reason for not answering.

LOL! That is funny. Do WoW players get emails asking why they haven't bought the latest expansions yet? Or is there no such thing as a WoW player that does NOT buy on the day of release?

What CPU do you have? That has an equal bearing on performance.

I'm not saying that's the only thing it could do, just that I'm amazed they didn't just convert an An-124 to do it instead.

It's really just a MiG-19 with a new nose forward of the wing leading edge. Their twin-engined MiG-21 with a new nose was a far greater feat of engineering. That's the J-8II I think?

The amazing part is they built a plane THAT big to carry their small orbiter but we've been using a regular old 747 with some reinforcements to do the job of carrying our larger, heavier orbiter for 30 years.

Also this stick uses twist grip for rudders instead of a separate pedal unit. Some people may like that, I'm not one of them. For the same price as the Logi set you can also get all 3 of CH's pieces including the pedals. Besides, I think this stick only would work well if you flew modern jet sims only. Others that I play like Black Shark, Il-2, CFS3, and all of TK's sims just work better with a moving stick. Especially the WWI planes!!

I can't imagine that you won't. I won't predict how much as it will be game dependent, of course!

I understand the idea, to make a game that isn't as hard as Arma2 for the uninitiated. The consensus seems to be, however, that they missed the mark. I've not tried it myself yet (I'm waiting for a demo), but it does sound more like a game designed for consoles that also is on PC.

I like CA Dark, but for some reason like the SF forums it totally bogs down my work PC...as in scrolling or page up/down has a MASSIVE lag. CPU usage goes from barely nothing to like 50% for iexplore.exe with it. Don't understand why, but I'm using Original as a result.

I've seen several systems around that won't boot if various USB devices are plugged in, not least some where a USB printer will cause a boot failure. You could try unplugging all but the essentials.

LOL, actually, creating her wasn't the easiest part in my case! We had to worry about folic acid pills and timing and LOTS of attempts.

The reason I thought of that one is the large number of stock .ini's that are modded in it from what I recall. New "drop in" .inis for planes and weapons shouldn't be any trouble, like Dave said... Anyway, maybe it will just necessitate another tiny "fix pack" that consists of replacement .ini's based on the latest patch level.

Believe me, this is the EASY phase!

The thing I keep wondering is where did they get "7" from? The build number says 6.1, doesn't it? Just like Vista was 6.0, XP was 5.1, and 2000 was 5.0.

I think some of mine might have modified squadronlist.ini's and possibly a couple of others. I guess the biggest issue is mods of stock planes, as the .ini's for them might be changed in the .cat. I'm sure when it comes out we'll see some people post about issues with specific mods. The SF2V A&G Exp is one I'm particularly concerned about, actually! My other one is mostly just planes, terrains, and weapons.

The installer and uninstaller? That's an odd thing to have a problem with this late in the game. He's only had those running since SF2's release, assuming it's because of making it work properly on Vista and XP. Whatever, another few days won't kill us. It's not like we don't already have a ton of other things available! I'll be interested to see what this does with my mods, though. While I have my stock SF2, SF2V, and SF2E installs, I also have 2 heavily modded installs and I hope I can update them more easily than it was for the old SFP1 series!

The one on the Mall with all the other buildings has been there for decades. The new one in Dulles opened just around 6 yrs ago. It has the test shuttle Enterprise, the Concorde, the 707 prototype... If you saw the 2nd Transformers movie, when they go and find the SR-71 that's an old Decepticon, that's at the Udvar-Hazy museum at Dulles. Of course, when they walk outside and are suddenly at Davis-Monthan AFB's boneyard, well... *waves hand* You don't need to believe in the geography.

Be sure to go to BOTH NASMs. The one on the Mall, and the one at Dulles.

Don't make Erik angry. You won't like him when he's angry.

There are some stupid ass people out there.
