Muhahaha thats firefox for you... does the same on mine as well...

Has arrived a day early!!! and I got a great offer for Windows 7 64bit that I couldn't turn down... so questions will be forthcoming on running OFF with Win7 64bit... because of the amount of cash that I passed over I got Ultimate for half price... so can't argue... Also helps that my company uses them for off the shelf hardware... Even though I cant get the hang of Thursdays today is looking good... :grin:

Very interesting reads both of them...

Go with Eric's as I find it the superior jet... all round... tis a thing of beauty even for a Bug!!!

One of my test pilots has over a 1000 kills... the jet looks like one giant red star...

Can we make it out of this year please... I have a pilot who is now doomed flying a blue Strutter around near the swiss border who has been alive since I got the skin... I just want him to survive to celebrate Xmas and New year... please pretty please and all that...

The Christmas spirit is alive and well and this was a nice heartwarmer on a Snowy start to December...

Work is the W word Herr Olham... and should not be used at the bar/mess. I was just joking with burning beard about mentioning the dreaded word...

Must admit Spinners I am with you on that... when your pilot racks up more kills than the entire Eastern Front it does look a bit stupid on the old pointy end...

You lot are going P4 Stir crazy... oooh can we have seaplanes please please there's Gluhwein involved if we can... Seriously though I will be happy when it arrives... hopefully the planes that are in Red will become available also some of the 2 seater scouts as well as bombers and the like but I would seriously love to have a go at a Seaplane campaign... right off to play in the snow...

Is Windows a virus? No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do: * They replicate quickly. Okay, Windows does that. * Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so. Okay, Windows does that * Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk. Okay, Windows does that, too. * Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too * Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature So, Windows is *not* a virus, it's a bug. I know its an old joke but hey needs to be used at times like this...

Work stop mentioning the W word in the mess old chap... just not on don't you know...

More Xmas presents to buy outstanding...

As advised last week its best to avoid this site as its a scam being blunt... me I have Flightgear as a difference to FSX and the newest version is not 1.9.1. I would go to the flightgear website and download the better version and its the best price ever Free... and it is opensource which is the other reason not to "buy" the other version as the opensource guys did the work and then the individual involved in Proflightgear just rips the software and then sells it on also this individual also has other websites selling opensource software as well... Anyway back to the deal in hand best place is go to flightgear download what you need and away you go... http://www.flightgear.org/ And the Air combat side is also opensource so this guy is ripping 2 lots of opensource after doing no work at all and then rebranding and making a profit of others hard work...

Okay first off you need Combat Flight Sim 3... which allows both online and offline play... OFF is both you can fly the entire air war for Britain France Germany and America. As to the updates yes you can do that I have all the updates on a USB pen and when I moved home I moved it to my laptop along with updates etc... hope this answers your question. OFF does not require you to be online at all to fly... as a certain other Flightsim does or used to do... Welcome to the madhouse thehiredgun new guy buys the drinks... Schnapps and a coffee please

Lovely looking Migs there... now time for some Mig on Mig action... Is that allowed!!!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-11872743 A fine ship off to the scrappers... she did a great job...

On the email front it defaults to a delayed setting when you are not in Combatace. Normally I receive mine the next day or so...

Your right there... a colleague of mine in the office was going on about how great her Apple was and she's been hit by a virus which I found out when she came in and asked if there was anything I could do... I jokingly said that she wasn't holding it right... as the last time I used a mac was in 1992 or so... I couldn't help... But the Microswipe stuff is why I am always loath to move up an operating system until they have released at least the 2nd service pack and even then I wait 3 months... as you said earlier WM there is only one problem with Microsoft and thats Microsoft...

Never thought of going the 64bit route to be honest... interesting idea... though my boss has just advised that we are going down the road of Windows 7 in the office so might end up moving to Win7 anyway...

Must admit on this I watched Dead and Loving it last night... and laughed my socks off not his best but still a good laugh out loud movie...

Card is a Radeon HD 5850 was going to go for the 5870 but after checking the specs the 5850 is good enough and a 150 euro's lighter in the wallet... Also I am an ATI fan and have been since I first started with PC's...
