  1. Happy Birthday......

    DoctorQuest replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    Cheers! 38. A mere child.
  2. Me, too. I usually resort to turning off the cockpit via numpad '.'.
  3. I used Paint Shop Pro to set the dimensions of the TGA file to 1x1. Seems to work fine. I understand the reflections add some realism but I find them a little annoying myself. Seems to have absolutely no effect on the "tint" one way or the other.
  4. I suspect that TK is already in the loop regarding issues of this type. Have you tried the forums over at www.thirdwire.com?
  5. Agreed. I have a Intel P4 2.6 Ghz machine with 2Gb RAM and a Gforce 6800GT 256M. I run on mainly "medium" setting but I do allow myself the luxury of HIGH cockpit textures. That being said, I still think the TW series looks pretty darned good. I also play the TW sims a lot more than some other "eye candy" sims I own. Graphics are not a the top of my "must have" list. Hell, I still play and enjoy EAW, Total Air War and Red Baron.
  6. Now that we have the excellent IAF RF-4E, was anyone thinking of doing some USAF skins for it? I would love to have a Nebraska ANG RF-4C for my collection. I was thinking of asking the MF if I could use their F-4G skin as a starting place. (I don't mind doing the work; just not my forte....) On the other hand if someone already has something in progress I would not want to duplicate efforts.
  7. Well, then, here is a couple of pretty good shots. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1075073/L http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1082644/L
  8. Yes, I should have clarified that I understood that the "E" was an export only aircraft. IF a "C" is in the works (which would not be hard to do if you have an "E" already) I can sure wait. Thanks, guys!

    "Wrong switch....."

  10. "Wings of War" ?!

    DoctorQuest replied to oded's topic in WWI Flight Sim Discussion

    While the Thirdwire sims have been unjustly accused by being "arcady" WoW definitely seems to fit that definition. It is a beautiful game graphically but FE is much more of a real sim than WoW. There used to be a forum over at SimHQ.com about it but I can't find it now. The review at Gamespot sums it up very well. If you can pick it up cheap it's worth getting.
  11. I have worked in IT for over 30 years and since day one the rule has been: YOU CAN'T HAVE TOO MUCH MEMORY!!!!!!!!! Ok, well, except for Windows 98 which has issues with memory over 512M..... But with just about any other OS (mainframe, UNIX, Windows XP and beyond) more memory is goodness.
  12. You're kidding, right? http://www.fox.com/24/

  13. Flight Equipment

    DoctorQuest replied to Stevo75's topic in The Pub

    Well, that, too. Yank and bank, baby! Yank and bank!

  14. Flight Equipment

    DoctorQuest replied to Stevo75's topic in The Pub

    CH. They are a little more pricey but you can beat the living crap out of them for years and they keep going. They are easy to program if you don't want anything fancy.
  15. I have copied the CAT file and extractor to a new folder and worked from there. Not as clean as having an option to put the stuff elsewhere but it works.

  16. Can't sleep...won't sleep.

    DoctorQuest replied to Syrinx's topic in The Pub

    Booze is not really a good solution long term. Are you a back sleeper or side sleeper? It took me a looooooooong time to find out I fall asleep faster on my side than my back. I would talk to your doctor before self-medicating too much. I agree. Warm milk sounds like a cliche but it does seem to work. Good luck.
  17. F-100.

  18. What Did You Have For Dinner

    DoctorQuest replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    HMMMM! Looks good. Soup and salad. Ate too much the last couple of weeks on the road. That's the bad part of travelling. Too much restaurant food.

  19. What Do You Look Like in Uniform Thread

    DoctorQuest replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    Absolutely agree. I am very proud to be even remotely associated with a group such as this.

  20. Here's an F-16 paint job for you...

    DoctorQuest replied to Hawk MMS's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Not exactly lo-vis.......

  21. In the past year.

    DoctorQuest replied to Erik's topic in The Pub

    Yup. I have definitely moved over here from SimHQ for matters Thirdwire. One of the friendliest download sites on the net. Keep up the good work!!

  22. Air Zoo pics

    DoctorQuest replied to Longestpants's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Fun! "Do not TOUCH switches or levers." Always good advice.

  23. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

    DoctorQuest replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    Yeah, OK, but think about it. I have years of experience flying aircraft via a monitor screen. I would be a GREAT predator pilot. Good toon.
  24. How much more resource intensive is this going to be? I will still get it but I am a LONG, LONG way from updating my 2.6 Ghz - 2Gb RAM - Gforce 6800GT 256M system. I assume we will have the usual controls for graphics quality, etc. Does look very nice, though....

  25. Passenger Briefing

    DoctorQuest replied to Fates's topic in Pilot Stories and Adventures

    I think it's legit... I was on a flight once where the flight attendent did a very similar routine plus he asked us all to lower our heads so the pilot could see to back out the plane..... "If you have not used a seat belt since you rode in a 1964 Ford Falcon you will need some instructions on how to use these" or something. It was a riot.
