Hi Siggi where you been?

Sounds like a graphics Driver problem to me. Newest Drivers don't always mean best drivers....I would certainly try some other earlier WHQL ones to start with. Can you install another newer game to check if that works? The only other thing that springs to mind, is the W7 64bit Dunno if thats a problem with CFS3? (someone will know) good luck

Major Thanks Jon...Always great to talk to someone in the know. I suspect I will have many Questions, as my course progresses, and thanks for the offer!

Hi Ace You worked the Ramp then??...Manchester??? Yup, airline would be cool...but 'most' Ground Ops @ Newcastle are done by sub-Contractors... I believe. Servisair and Swissport are the main players @ Ncl I think? lol..Just noticed...Manchester in the USA...lol..hahahaha

Well, as I now live only 3 miles from my local airport, I have been making enquiries into working there on the Ramp. Although, you don't need any formal qualifications, I am off to the College this evening, to look at studying for a Certificate in the Aviation Environment, to keep me going, until February, when the recruitment effort is put into place. It's been a dream of mine for many years, which is rapidly becoming an obsession!...Never having lived near enough to an Airport to warrant going for it, and having my own IT Business to tide me over the 'Lay off' months between Oct 31st - March 1st, means I am now able to realise this dream (hopefully) Please wish me luck, on today's first step...and if anyone has a similar job, or indeed experience of Airport Life on the Ramp, I'd love to chat to you

Not an avid Jet Jocky...But I think I will make an exception!

enjoy!

I have my Snipe..So I don't much have a 'need' now!

Not sure I should reply to this but..... The 'other' one, would be a Pfalz DXII that of course, is pure greed!....So, I guess I would go with a heavy Bomber too

Thanks Olham, that would be helpful The main difference appears to be the Specular textures that FSX uses, and having to add info to the Aircraft.cfg file. Have tried to save as DDS and BMP so far...with equally depressing results! FSX skins are beautiful to look at...but my goodness...difficult to work with. I will email you a texture folder to look at a bit later m8!...thanks

Having big problems...if anyone knows how to skin in FSX, would be grateful of some advice please

Hi Guys Been skinning in OFF for a while now, and wanted to try it in fsx. It's clearly a different process altogether...not managed a single result as yet, just problems Does anyone know of a reasonably good newbie tuitorial online they could point me at please? The skin I have made only shows up in specular over-ride in FSX..or worse..crashes to desktop Thanks

Political?..well, perhaps...but amusing and hopefully of no offence to anyone, so posted in the pub instead of Arena! TWO COWS …….. SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbour COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, then throws the milk away... SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead. A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows. A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide. A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves. AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch. A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them. CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and execute the newsman who reported the real situation. AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them. IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the * out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy.... WELSH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive. AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The Government says you have to buy a license to milk them, but first you have to do a risk assessment, which only the government Quango is allowed to carry out. They charge you 5 times the cost of doing it. They find that the three legged stool is a risk under health and safety. You have to buy the EC approved 5 legged stool that is designed to support a milk maid of up to 250 kilos. It is too heavy to carry. The stool exceeds EC weight lifting limits for workers by 4 kilos, which just happens to be the weight of the fifth leg. To shift the stool from one cow to the other you therefore need a special (EC approved) trolley. The new stool and trolley are so expensive that you have to mortgage one of the cows to pay for them and pay for the mandatory training course you must take to get your license to milk the cows. You sell your milk to the supermarket chain that pays you f**k all for it, and then they sell it to their customers for four times what they paid you. Then they release a press statement about how wonderful they are to support British Cows. The rest of the world thinks your cows are mad but you and your cows know that it is not true and anyway the rest of the world have no intention of identifying and counting their mad cows so people in other countries don't know their cows are really, really barmy do they. You sell your cows to a Polish itinerant worker and your farm to a Russian 'investment bank' and then you leave to buy a villa by the sea in a country where it is sunny and the cost of milk is a tenth the cost of milk at home. They don't have a National Health Service.......but you are so happy and relaxed your health improves and you live to be a hundred Read more: Two Cows (A lesson in politics) http://www.neforum2.co.uk/smf/humour-and-funny-jokes/two-cows-(a-lesson-in-politics)/#ixzz11N6YRoJz Under Creative Commons License: Attribution Non-Commercial

good pol again Olham :)

Lou...you have too much time on your hands m8...we'll have to start calling you Olham! :lol: (sorry guys, just kidding!)

Not a fan of Jets...but I sure would take one up and shoot these down!

I am actually being scammed by a Chinese guy at the moment (well, at least he's trying too) But I am scamming the scammer!..hahahahahaha

And now the Iranian's know exactly what to expect!...hahaha I bet they'll be upgrading to Windows 2000 from 98 now! Daddyairplanes?..... this IS skynet!....we're all doomed!

I agree flypc..I used to believe all the non stop bull poured down my throat by the Media, and Governments of the world...and then I discovered two people who changed my views forever George Carlin and John Pilger Now I believe NOTHING they say...and the small percentage that's true...I can have very little effect on...and am much happier for it!

No worries there Olham...The hole is already massive!...and that's certainly NOT the fault of the Germans!!

Not surprising at all (imho) The Brits only finished paying the Yanks off for equipment used in WW2 about 3 years ago! The Germans started both World Wars....let 'em pay!

I pride myself in reading all your posts Lou. Can't think why I overlooked it

Holy sh*t!!! Where did you buy it?..I WANT IT NOW!!!!! (Just spotted ya link m8..sorry) I have skinned that Pup..it was on Google Images...are there any Snipe profiles on it?

All restorations of early aircraft to air worthiness are to be applauded! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6ad_1285266349

What's the Criteria?
