  1. Vimy Ridge Memorial

    Here is another link on Vimy Ridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vimy_Ridge Peter Hart's Bloody April does a good job of covering Arras from the perspective of the pilots
  2. BIG mistake!

    Enjoy it while you can. My daugther likes sprouts on line..... and it is having an impact on my flight time
  3. Some kind words for our D.C. pilots

    with the greatest probability in those households without power for the past three days
  4. Grounded in D.C. !

    The Good News: Winter Storm Warning Cancelled for DC metro The Bad News: Blizzard Warning Issued for DC Metro Still grounded. We got 32" in Clarksburg MD with additional 10" since yesterday. Snow drifts maybe 2-4'. Our neighborhood looks like a well developed trench system from the front.
  5. Grounded in D.C. !

    Nice photos Bandy. Get ready for another 5"+ Tues-Wed.
  6. Actually gallows for the vertically challenged.

  8. WW I memorial

    and a link to various monumnets to the doughboys http://www.worldwar1.com/dbc/monument.htm
  9. WW I memorial

    well the DC Memorial is really nice but does not some maintenance and general landscaping. Not really overrun with tourist, somewhat sheltered and oof the beaten path. I haven't been down there for a couple of years
  10. Some Photos of theGreat War

    Great photos thanks for the link
  11. ConradB I agree it is a pita to revert to old drivers or go back to 'em
  12. OFF or RoF? Help the n00b!

    welcome aboard. graphics card will work. processor should be ok may want more though
  13. Spare a thought for Olham

    Perfect.... add some glitter..... oh and a big feathery boa in place of silk scarf. The car was a nice touch Dog is switched
  14. That "other WW1 flight sim"

    [and BEFORE THAT: Richtofen's War (the Avalon Hill bookcase game). (wish I still had that game, just for the manuel that had such great detail on each plane and its strengths/weaknesses.) Crap. I just got rid of that game. Went off to Goodwill
  15. Spare a thought for Olham

    Poor Olham http://forum.combata...ys-without-off/ On leave for 14 days and his plane is pink. What next? Shave his dog's ass and make it walk backwards? Is there any chance that some glitter can be added to the paint job RAF? My daughter thinks it will then be fit for a Princess
  16. Campaign/Warping

    check out this thread on last discussion about warping: http://forum.combata...e-with-warping/ as for airfield attacks....well I will usually fly the way points spend a little time hanging around the target and make one straffing run (as uncleal said) conserve my ammo and go off looking for air targets. Other times I just go looking for air targets and skip the airfield altogther.
  17. New Rig Set-up

    Might suggest going with the following PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010 This should help with cable mgt. I have the non-modular cosair and it is great, but I have quite a few cables that I am not using. Just looks a bit sloppy in the bottom of my Antec 900 case, they are tucked beneath the bottom cage. The stock fans with the 900 have manual switches and I had to run those out of the grommets in the back just in case I want to change speeds (they are set to high and have been since I built my rig). Air flow is fine in the 900 and I assume the same is true with the 902. The 902 has washable dust filters which is nice. I'll look around for case alternatives. Might suggest a full tower beast
  18. New Rig Set-up

    And depending on your cpu cooler and placement relative to the side panel you may not be able to mount a fan there (found that at the hard way with the 900). The only other thing that I can think of, are the fans. Hopefully, the fans in the 902 are not equipped with manual switches. My mobo allows for adjusting speed of fans when plugged into the board, but the case fans didn't have the 3 pin plug. Don't get me wrong with all of this, I still like my 900 case but may have been tempted with a full tower and better fans.
  19. New Rig Set-up

    Luther1517, I have a Antec 900 and have to say cable management is a pain. Hopefully, the 902 is improved and not as cramped. Also you will need some space if that PSU isn't modular, I have the cosair 750w and have a pile of cables. So, I can only hope your cable mgt skills are better than mine. The alternative may be a full tower.
  20. My Gaming Rig is Dead

    Sorry to hear about your rig. I have a gigabyte board and it is fine (bought from New Egg), but I never got my rebate check. So be careful with the rebate. Gigabyte farms out the rebates and whoever it is that handles the rebates sucks.
  21. NFG Reporting In

    Welcome aboard.
  22. My best Christmas ever, even with my 2 1/2 year old calling Santa on Christmas Eve requesting that I be added to the naughty list. I got Track IR 5 . Also got three hardcover books: Bloody April and Aces Falling by Peter Hart Sagittarius Rising by Cecil Lewis (with a red box cover) The kids are down for naps and there will be flying on Christmas
  23. Oldham: will do themightysrc: Much better than two years ago when every other gift was the wrong size or didn't work and had to be returned. I don't recall receiving replacements back then either.
