Rambler 1-1

I wonder if it had a bathroom? it was only invisible because they lacked the ability to design a new jet that didn't suck.

tried the hollywood effects pack, frame rates were unbearable. whine whine whine complain whine b1tch moan grump. Now then! I'll do the clean exhaust thing. Maybe I can make the particles REALLY dense. btw, I was told that we'd be getting a "new" computer, but it turned out to be a mundo clunker that lagged running "paint". Someday....

comp specs= Dell Demension 2100, 997 Megahertz on the Motherboard, 512Mb RAM (as much as possible), ATI Radeon 9250 PCI video card (256MB DDR). wow, that sounds nerdy. I already have all the graphics set to the lowest possible settings with mirrors, shadow and reflection turned off and horizon set to "near". Otherwise the frame rate drops like an F-4 with no gas and the whole game crashes. It's VERY obvious that I need a better computer to run SF, but I have no money, as usual. I was hoping to find an exhaust file that I could just substitute in for the dirty exhaust emitter one, 'cause this is just gonna lead to a conclusion I've met many times before, that I need to get a new comp. and when I do, It'll be so full of SFP1/WoV/WoE/FE/WoI that it'll make EVERYBODY jealous!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!!1!!!!!! BTW- I'll go look for newer driver now, just in case.

ALL RIGHT! NEW MiG MASTERS! they look soooooooo good that I'm gonna skip studying for exams tonight just to test these out! I've had a really good day today, with the news of the F-20 and now this!

WHOA! THERE'S AN F-20 INBOUND?!?!?! THANK YOU, FLYING TOASTER! boy, it looks good, too. Especially with the Leanding edge extensions that mase it as manuverable as the F-16. It's kinda funny to think that it's got the same powerplant as the SAAB Draken, but it's so much smaller. Can't wait for this one!

I'd like to see how it would swing in SF. Ace Combat was a bit too far-fetched for me, but it sure was fun!

Sounds like it's worth a try. It'll check it out and either complain when it doesn't work or be quiet and happy when it does.

aw maaannnn.... Chargers LOST, played well, not well enough. Patriots WON, suprise suprise. Cheeseheads LOST, what's this world coming to?!?!?! Giants WON, now THAT is suprising. I was expecting a boring old Pats VS Cheesies soup bowl, but no. Pats are in, no suprise there (congrads on 18 and 0!!!), but Green Bay couldn't move the ball enough to pull out a win. Also, Manning had a good game and made his big bro proud, and Plaxico Buress (who names their kid Plaxico? no offence...) had a great game. Every time I looked he made a catch. I could go on and on, but I'll leave that to you guys. Now we can start placing bets! I see a Pats 21, Giants 17 final score in my crystal HUD.

spam, spam, spam, spam, spamidy spam, SPAMIDY SPAM! let's see, I'd be... uhh... well I still kinda fell like the newbie, despite the fact that I'm "valued". I'm probably the "eternal n00b" EDIT: I just realised that I have broken 200 posts. YEAH!

S! sounds like he had a good life.

on what? Bond's Aston-Martin?

This is SFP1. I updated my driver last month, and no, there isn't a new one out there that I know of. I tried putting the graphics setting to x32, and the smoke looks good, but I can't dogfight because my frame rate drops as soon as I get close to an enemy and then everything goes all choppy. There's gotta be another smoke effect out there.... somewhere.... please?

WHOA! the top two I MUST HAVE. it's like an Su-27/33 with F-15 engines, F-105 exhaust nozzles, and XB-70 wings! however, how am I gonna fly I plane that I can't pronounce the name of?

wow, somebody lost a bet.

just a shot in the dark from a know-nothing, but sounds like it ran out of gas, generators went offline, not enough time to get the EPU going. Or maybe generator was on one engine, that engine sucked in a bird. Or a LSA. Good thing everybody got off, and I agree, the pilot should get a medal as big as a frying pan.

so does this mean that as long as I have special effects set on "low", I'll have purple exhaust?

I'm sure it's been asked before, and I even skimmed through the KB (which I almost never do) before posting. BUT; What's the deal with the F-4's "dirty exhaust emitter"? It looks okay as long as the conditions are right, but it usually looks purple and it blows sideways from the engine. Is there a replacement or fix for this? you've no idea how much flak I've taken because of the purple exhaust in my videos.

holy cr@p! 100?!?!? many happy returns!

worst for me was Tourist Trophy: The Real Riding Sumulator. I thought it's be great, because it's my favorite racing game (gran tourismo 4 a-spec), with my favorite (road going) vehicles, motorcycles. I was even more pleased to see that MY VERY DIRTBIKE (Honda XR-250R) was on the game. However, I was horribly dissapointed to see that not only were the bikes not nearly as fast as they should be for acceleration, but you COULD NOT TURN. Your guy/bike would lean WAYYYYY over, but you would not go around the corner. Also, at low speeds, your guy/bike still leaned WAYYYY over into the corner, and then he'd just fall over. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THAT IS NOT A REAL RIDING SIMULATOR. I RIDE MYSELF AND THAT IS NOT HOW YOU RIDE A MOTORCYCLE. It's almost as if they're saying "motorcycles suck- go buy GT4!" Pa-thetic.

may sound like stupid question, but.... what was the old URL?

well, I started simming when i was 5 with Janes ATF (running on my dad's state-of-the-art Windows 95 clunker), and I figure I clocked about 90 hours on that... then FS '98, which I clocked seven hours a week for 2 years.. that's 728 hours... the FS9, which I clocked about 9 hours a week for 4 or so years (up untill last year when I had to make room for more SFP1), and that's 1872 hours... then SFP1, which i spend about 1.5 hours on per day (average), and I've had it since '02, but there was about a year I didn't play it, so I'll say 4 years, and that's 2184 hours. total time=4874 hours (holy cr@p!) however, only about 2000 hours of that was real flying, with taking off and landing and that stuff. The rest was just fooling around. But still....

let's see... donno if you've found this, but according to my four inch thick book of moderen military aircraft (c.2005) the canard foreplanes act as airbrakes when landing. Sorry, no pics. Everyhing else in here I think has been covered.

I'm afraid it's not as easy as cleaning out all my por- I mean "Important School Documents". I've consolidated the small ammount of HD space I'm allowed on this shared computer, I freed up almost a gigabyte, but If I put in another install of SF I'm bound to take some flak from Honourable Grand High Ruler of Household and Master of Computer, and It'll make my current install run all chunky again. Once I get my own computer there will be no stopping me.... And before you ask, yes I have been running defrag and antivirus on a regular basis.

man, I hate it when people steal my posts. you know what they say about 1000 monkeys and 1000 typewriters.... put 'em in a room and in five hours you'll have a better script than anything on TV right now.

I thought it'd only be good if you have a big F-ing HD TV with surround sound. I'd watch, but I'd rather fly.
