My 9 year old daughter has a (email) pen pal. Her pen pal is an avionics tech on the USS Kitty Hawk which is in the Gulf now supporting Iraqi Freedom. I thought I'd share some pics she sent to my daughter. :)

My wife's computer is on a dial up modem and she has aol. If I go on there I usually minimize aol after I sign on and go through Internet Explorer anyway. Aol windows are always too small.

Hey Jeff, does this site use cookies that expire after a period of time? I notice about once a month or so I have to re-log in to the main page. Most of the time I don't have to log in because it remembers me. Just wondering. :)

Which one are you again Beer???

:shock:

And my in game: :shock:

<S> Best of luck to you *Fast Eagle*! I think it goes without saying, you have our support! Give 'em hell!!!

This is NOT a war about oil!!! Oh wait, wrong topic. Very nice work Beerman! :D

I picked it up a few weeks ago from SimHQ Buy/Sell/Trade forum, but I haven't installed it yet. I got it the same time I also got FS 2002 and have been flying that a lot. Maybe this weekend I'll throw it on the ol hard drive and take it for a spin. :)

Hehe Fates, it is time for a new machine, but I still like 98SE for gaming. :shock: Nice to meet you propulsor, welcome aboard. This does look nice so far.

Thanks Jeff. DOH! :shock: Only for Win 2000 and XP?

I'm not sure who created the IP connection program for SFP1, but I love it! It says it's in a beta stage, but it worked great for me and a squad mate tonight. We flew a few "successful" strike coops (successful is used loosly as I was shot down a couple times...lol) and we had a blast. A squad mate of mine who has been flying with the Dambusters (Floor_87FIS) brought up a good point about MP in SFP1. He says it's kind of like Falcon 4 in that people had to tweek that sim a lot to get it to work right. For some reason with my squad guys, there's been little if any problems flying MP. If the sim runs fine on your system then there's hardly any problems with MP...but if you're having trouble anyway then it carries over into MP. For us we've been having a blast. We used to be a Janes USAF squad (3 years of it) and always had fun with MP coops in there...this kind of reminds me of those days but much better. Trying to get more of my guys to get SFP1 and try it out, so check 6. :twisted: <S>

Did I miss something on the front page about this? What's up? I need info.

It wasn't a stupid question Dutchy. :) If you know where she's from, David Letterman did his top ten list from the Stennis last night. She's at home. Nothing classified if it's on national television.

Okay, OPSEC's been breached by David Letterman's top ten list from the Stennis tonight. :roll: She's not in the gulf...k?

Another possibility is SimHQ.com "Buy/Sell/Trade" forums, or the same titled forum at Frugalsworld.com. I see USAF sold in there a lot, and it is an international community so you may find someone in France or Europe who might help you. I didn't want to spend the $60.00 (still) for FS 2002 Pro so I asked at SimHQ B/S/T forum and within a couple weeks I had a copy of it for $20.00. :D

Good point, OPSEC starts here. I did a google search and found a list of ships deployed to the gulf...which is common knowledge. I couldn't find anything up to date about the Stennis...and as far as I know during these nervous days, that's a good thing.

Is resistance a pay for add on?

I don't know much about OFP but I did just buy a copy of OFP Gold with Red Hammer over at SimHQ "Buy/Sell/Trade" forum ($5.00, couldn't beat it). A very odd thing happened to me after I installed it to get the feel for it. I'll usually tinker around for a long time whether a game's very good or not...but after about an hour or two I actually uninstalled it and shelved it. Maybe after newer games like America's Army, BF 1942, and RTCW I just expected more, but I didn't care for OFP at all. Don't think this is any kind of flame because I know many people enjoy OFP. I just don't see what all the hype is about (just my opinion). Of course I suppose if I were to spend more time and get some of the add on stuff it might be better, but I think I'll just stick to AAO for good teamwork and BF42 for good clean blow up stuff arcade fun. :)

Looks a little windy, good thing you're under 10,000ft. Did your canopy blow off with the hit?

I like the third just for cool graphics. :)

Muhahahaaaaaa! :twisted:

BP, do you get the same problems while flying off line? I know some folks are still having a tough time with something not clicking in the sim regardless of MP or offline. It would be cool to narrow down the problems. My game runs almost flawless all the time off or on line. Here's my system, maybe we could do some comparisons.

Hmmm...with the past two months under 30 degrees F for high temps and averaging 10 degrees F for the low...heat's been cranking. No conserving there. Recent snow storms...my Jeep Cherokee's been in 4 wheel drive almost all the time. I smile at the ricers tucked nicely in the snow drifts off the side of the road as I cruise on by. BTW, I'm not one of those folks who uses an SUV as a status symbol, mine actually goes off road and gets dirty when I go camping in the summer. Northern Michigan has some great places off the beaten path. In the winter I use it to get to work when others are snowed in...I work for an airline and we don't close. Some of you folks weren't even born yet, but I remember the "oil shortage" in the 70s. People freaking out and sitting in line for hours at gas stations. Teachers at my school warned us that oil would run dry in my lifetime...oh the horror. I still have faith in Beerman, out pumping in the Gulf of Mexico. Plus the untapped oil reserves in Alaska and off the west coast...although the treehuggers and whale savers don't like that idea.
