I know, this is a combat sim sight and I don't usually cover civilian flight sims, but this one's big news. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 has gone gold! Here's the news release from Microsoft that came out last night: In case you've been under a rock for the last few months and haven't read much on this new release, the Microsoft FS2004 website is here and is loaded with info on this great new addition to the FS heritage. It's been awhile since I bought a civilian sim (FUIII anyone??) but this one looks like it's worth the price of admission.

Bard, I'll get a screenshot of your website this evening and add it to the weblinks, or if you would prefer a squad patch/logo just post it here and I'll use it. Image should be 100x70 or close to it anyway. :D

geez, in the absence of any real info, people will create any story they need just to have a debate. :roll: I think we can safely assume the flight models will be very good, at least as good as they were in Flanker. I can hardly stand getting on the forums anymore because of everyone engaged in pointless arguements about topics they can't possibly have a clue about since the info is not currently available. :? I'm starting to long for the release just to shutup the debaters even more than wanting to fly the sim. BTW, this is not directed at you Seawolf., just some of the idiots over at the Ubisoft forums...

Didn't someone already create some new bases? I remember seeing the pics a while ago, but forget who did it.

Beer, you'll appreciate this one. I saw this over at www.techzone.com last night and thought it was right up your alley. http://thetechzone.com/display.php?i=265&p=1 It's a Peltier Beer Mug! Shows how-to and everything. I may build one for the ol' comp desk here.

Here's some quick 'n dirty screengrabs I captured from the video. Not great quality, but you get the idea... BTW, the video is really good quality, nice and smooth, so don't judge it by these crappy grabs... :D I'll get some better ones when I get home today.

I wonder how many times he had to do that before he got a good take? ;)

Fracture, how about hosting that here at Biohaz?

Damn, I didn't realize they were having that many problems with them. I was originally going to pre-order one before they were released but decided to hold off due to my busy schedule lately. Now I wonder if I should just jump to the USB CH Products stuff. I currently own a gameport CH ForceFX/Pro Throttle/Pro Pedal setup and am very happy with it other than no programming it in XP.

Better change that location entry on your profile... :D Welcome back!

Gecko, PM sent... ;)

Ooh, we should have those here since we are a LOMAC-heavy site. =) I'll dig them up and upload them tonight.

This is a question to all you skinners/modders out there. With the new image gallery installed and all the neat new features it has, I would like to start offering a place for the modders out there to put their work-in-progress screenshots. I can create albums that each dev has the rights to upload and manipulate the images as they are created. This would benefit the end users as they could go to one place to see the latest shots of the project they are interested in. Right now you have to bounce around the different forums to see progress. Of course this would benefit Biohaz with increased traffic as well, so I think it's a win/win situation. But I don't want to waste my time and bandwidth unless there's interest in it. It's easy to setup on my end, so no problems there. So modders, please reply and tell me if you think this is a good idea and are interested. :D

More new site goodies today! I've installed a new Image Gallery today that has some really neat new features such as slideshows, image sizing, etc. Go play with it and let me know what you think. One of the best features is that it actually works, which is a step up from the existing gallery I had in place. Development had become non-existant over the past year, and had a boatload of bugs. Users will now be able to submit screenshots now, and I plan on adding a few new albums for things like damage pics, screenshot contests, etc. so stay tuned for those RSN. :D Let me know what you think of it, and any ideas for other image album catagories I should add.

Fixed. Thanks Fates... ;)

phpBB didn't handle the URL right. It's fixed in the post above, try it.

Well, after talking about it for the past 6 months, I finally got off my lazy butt and got the official BiohazCentral FTP site configured and ready for uploads. This new FTP site will enable you to upload your larger submitted skins, mods and other sim-related files without the issues we had with the php upload script I've had in place up to now. I ask that you still upload the smaller (<2 meg) files through the Submit Files link on the Contribute Menu to the left unless you are having issues with it, then hit the FTP site. But first, a few ground rules. =) Please people, don't abuse this privilige. Sim-related files only, I don't want to have to clean out a bunch of junk every other day. Also, if you are planning on sending up any files larger than about 20Mb, please contact me first! Also, all activity & IPs are logged. So spread the word, and send up all your skins and mods now! You can now upload files directly to ftp://ftp.biohazcentral.com/pub/incoming and I will move them to the proper directory for downloading, as well as add the file to the Downloads Section. Just be sure to shoot me off a message and let me know you sent something up, otherwise I might not notice it for a few days.

Rgr that, same here, he can upload the skins to the new FTP site I put up. That 20Mb a day limit is just not gonna work. ;)

Just reupload the avatar and you should be fine... =)

testing file attach after move

Agreed, I don't mind the jokes, but the topic title says it all. Let let this thread die.

Bard, glad to see you made it over here! :D

Thanks Byron! Great job as usual. So everyone knows, Byron is the main man at TurboWeb and is always there for any problems or website needs. I heartily recommend them if your looking for a good host! :)

Now that I can get on the site, I'll get the files moved over.
