  1. Happy Birthday, oh notorious (and ancient) breaker of Hornets and other airborne conveyances...

    Who Did It?

    There you go...the smoking mobo (errrr....gun) points directly to dwcace! The missing link in the evidentory chain.

    Who Did It?

    Well, both C5 and myself would agree that you'd probably be far better served by a bottle of whiskey (your recent experience attempting to unplug a laptop adds a lot of weight to this argument). Keep in mind that Newegg (for example) has a warehouse in Los Angeles, one in Memphis, and another in Edison, NJ. It's only 530 miles from the Memphis warehouse, versus, say 580 from the Edison one, or over 2,000 from the facility in LA.
  4. Maybe you should ask someone else. Someone with lots and lots of free time.

    Who Did It?

    A word of advice: Stop worrying about who sent it....get off your lazy duff and install the damned thing!
  6. Went through that very same scenario with Hanna, just last week. Parts of NJ recorded as much as 7 inches of rainfall in less than 8 hours.
  7. First of all, Dave, you need to come clean and tell us all the truth. We know that you're a long-time Billy Idol fan, and that you've often expressed admiration for his "Spike" haircut. I'm of the opinion that you were attempting to find an easy way to achieve the "Billy Idol" look, when you just happened to notice that wall outlet, and.....
  8. There are mostly no easy fixes in an aircraft's data file. Most aero values are interelated in some form or another, so changing, say the values that control roll or pitch displacement rate, may have an adverse effect in another area. So unless you know precisely what you're doing, I'd wait until someone gets around to porting those FMs into SP5.

  10. The flight models for most third-party aircraft have to be re-written in order to make them compatible with WoI (or SP5).
  11. Heat is the ATI's main drawback, and power consumption is nVidia's drawback. If you think in terms of compatibilty with TW titles, then nVidia's the most reliable choice. In the end, it's a matter of personal preference.
  12. January of 1999, or thereabouts, creating a 1955 WWIII scenario for MS CFS, with new sounds, weapons, etc.
  13. I was once overflown by a brace of NJANG F-4Es back around 1985 or so, while I was out fishing 30-40 miles offshore of Atlantic City. You could feel the reverberations from their engines, traveling through the boat's hull, while they were inbound and still several miles off (sound travels through water twice as fast as it does through the air). I also recall regularly hearing sonic booms while out fishing, back then
  14. No, because ships will maneuver during an engagement irregardless of waypoint assigments.
  15. Eraser, those parts were salvaged from an Eastern Airlines L-1011 that crashed into the Everglades just southwest of MIA, back in late December of '72. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Air_Lines_Flight_401
  16. I keep my targets at either between 10 to 11 o'clock, or 1 and 2 o'clock. That way, I know when my missile's acquired the target on its own (by watching its exhuast trail), and does not require further guidence from me.
  17. Yes. BTW, I was in Miami when that plane crashed, staying at a relative's house. I remember the emergency crews passing by on their way to the crash site.
  18. LOL...I had a similar experience with a Phoenix. Unfortunately, it was one of my wingmen that had strayed into it's flightpath.
  19. You easily can engage multiple targets, once each '54 has acquired its assigned target, by simply locking up another blip and firing (I've done so countless times). You cannot, however, track multiples, as that feature is not coded into the series.
  20. Yes. Change the availability of the units you want to see less of, to "rare", and the ones you wish to see more of, to "very_common".
  21. Happy Birthday, Mike.
