BUFF

No, none of the Saitek HOTAS (X36, X45, X52, X52 Pro) has had FF.

not to mention Monty Python & Vikings ....

quite a few people (mostly propheads ) use an HOTAS throttle but with an FF joystick. Saitek had a poll about an FF HOTAS but whether anything will come of it ... & TM used to have an FF version of their Afterburner but I believe that it was beset with problems (certainly initially).

"two weeks"

There is a place for all 3 - Saitek, CH & Cougar. However, I suspect that Saitek & CH will still be making HOTAS when TM won't.

is it only doing this in Third Wire games i.e. can you play other games OK?

Happy Birthday, guys.

looking good

surely everyone knows that smoked eel is better than salted? ...

Due to it's huge wing area the Vulcan could out manouevre many fighters at altitude & that of course was if they could even get up there. Unfortunately reliable AAMs took away that advantage. The Victor was probably even more capable - as I remember it could go higher & faster (a Victor has been supersonic) than the Vulcan. & yes, the Vulcan had an unique moan/howl from it's engines. I'm very much looking forward to seeing XH558 back in the skies again http://www.tvoc.co.uk/

Aah, much better picture. Mind you when I was looking briefly I came across several different schemes as I'm sure that you did so I may look to find out what the current one really is.

Let's just say that I'll be surprised if it's then. However, if they can't spell Israel properly ...

Indeed, we keep the old patches available because some mods haven't been updated & only work with certain older versions.

they look like RAF roundels to me (quite possibly a PR stunt) ... DRILL normally does mean training round but afaik that's what the blue ring signifies. As I said I can probably get some current info/pics if you want.

i did mention genuine demand & so far it's just you asking for it though ...

If there is genuine demand for it I don't see why not?

I prefer CombatAss - mit Aalen.

Your Iiyama LCD has a native resolution of 1280 by 1024. From Wikipedia: "While CRT monitors can usually display images at various resolutions, a LCD monitor has to rely on interpolation (scaling of the image), which causes a loss of image quality. An LCD has to scale up a smaller image to fit into the area of the native resolution. This is the same principle as taking a smaller image in an image editing program and enlarging it; the smaller image loses its sharpness when it is expanded. This is especially problematic as most resolutions are in a 4:3 aspect ratio (640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×960, 1600×1200) but there are odd resolutions that are not, notably 1280×1024. If a user were to map 1024×768 to a 1280×1024 screen there would be distortion as well as some image errors, as there is not a one-to-one mapping with regards to pixels. This results in noticeable quality loss and the image is much less sharp." Basically, running at a resolution other than the native one has a negative affect on performance/quality. As for settings I was asking what resolution you are running at & what level of anti-aliasing & aniso that you are using. Possibly your in-game settings can be tweaked as well now that you have a better card.

what settings are you running at? are you running at the LCD monitor's native res. or interpolated?

Though that a few might find this interesting. http://www.custompc.co.uk/features/601275/...technology.html

Congrats to you & your other half. Another future jarhead?

I wouldn't say "near" as it's 80 miles away but it is my "local" RAF base. Kinloss/Lossiemouth are a bit further ... Was at Leuchars about a week ago to see the birds returning home after the base was shut for a few months for runway renewal/upgrade (Typhoons supposed to be arriving next year but I suspect that the Saudi order may delay Leuchars getting theirs).
