Well finally my new PC is to be ready for pick up on Friday... :grin: I cannot wait 24inch widesceen HD 3.2 and the following Spec... AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black 4x3,2 GHz Asus Markenmainboard M4N68 500GB Hard drives * 2 4096MB DDR3 RAM 1333 22x Multi DVD Brenner 5.1 Sound + GBit Lan on Board + a new Video card to go with it... Joystick check keyboard check TrackIR on order... Xmas is looking like fun for me... now can I justify taking a week of work to just set it all up... as to OS I think I am staying with XP for now... No more laptop flying...

Well looks like my first flight was the only flight... got nailed by a Mig coming of target after surviving 8 Sam Launches not happy... I will be giving up for a week or so as I am getting my new PC this weekend... and then loading everything back on it...

I know this feeling so well... I must have a death wish or failing that I love the challenge...

Amusing...

Lovely skin there for the Hawk... and at this rate thats all the RAF are going to have left flying...

Oh yes its for offline play and the Campaign there is only one and it is called World War 1... you can fly for the Entente (British, French and Americans) and for the Germans. Lose pilots you will if I don't lose a pilot a week I am doing something wrong... oh and its amazing on the detail just make sure your PC is up to running it... Also the different aircraft you can fly is amazing from the Fokker Eindekker to the Sopwith Camel to everything in-between...

Just read about this on the news... wonderful memories of both the serious and not so serious. RIP...

Good morning gents... as the snow has finally descended on Vienna more flying time is required. New Campaign. A-6A North Vietnam (I love the challenge). Will post first mission write up later today but damn it was fun SAM's bad guys and enough triple A that I could have become a lead salesman and the biggest surprise is I survived it all... even though I flew far too low for Vietnamaverage heights of 500ft agl and not a scratch on her.

Sometimes its best not to try and work out why it is working and accept the little miracles you get...

Welcome to the War old chap... dokken1212 mines a coffee and a good shot of schnapps. As to the advice provided by our very own Mr Grumpy that is UncleAl... follow his advice as it makes a lot of sense... trust us...

Great find... I will be putting up a comment or 3...

Ha we dont have enlough to crew it all...

3 games I am playing at present... OFF no need to introduce... Fallout NV... Interesting with some issues major pain in the butt is having to be linked to Steam you can play the game unlinked for around 10 games after that back to steam annoying is not the right word as I prefer to play it offline also why buy the DVD version in advance and then have to download the entire game ???? X Universe games for when I most definitely need to kill spaceships and get great visuals at the same time... though some days I am just a lonely wanderer among the stars... As to the rest well... the day they come out with a truly free rolling Fallout type game I am lost nay doomed... the biggest issue I have is why do some games have genius AI and some have stupid ones ??? Stalker for one the AI in one of the Mods is downright nasty it tries to flank you by hiding behind trees etc while his mate shoots at you to keep him covered and then they leapfrog towards you can get nasty against higher level bad guys... and in others the AI just walks at you blasting not even ducking or dodging ??? Anyhew...

You know you get ready for the 2 weeks line and someone goes and messes it all up...

All else fails Dive... aaahhh bit low for that one... so dive I say... it's okay the trees will get out of the way...

Happy Thanksgiving though I don't celebrate it, being English and all that, have a good time and have fun...

Welcome back to the mad house... move to SF2 much more fun and some real interesting things on the horizon or should that be in 2 weeks...

Happy thanksgiving, though I dont follow it being English and all that but I can understand any excuse for a few drinks... to you guys and girls and my thoughts to those still in the field...

Okay the C model is Air 2 Air and the A ground pounding...

Noooo don't tell Herr Olham... as the site will become waterlogged...

In case you need the link I forgot to add it... http://www.flightgear.org/

I looked at this a while ago but something didn't sit right to be honest... call me paranoid with the old Interweb in general... maybe it was the screenies looking too much like flightgear which I have downloaded... afrter doing some looking it looks like the website owner is selling a lot of GPL stuff which is out of date. Personally try to get a refund if you have bought it otherwise go for the Flightgear stuff its free and it is the same and is the newer version.

Thank you RAF_Lou... in your frozen corner of the world enjoy the coffee when you get there... downloaded them all last night and had a browse through them...

Oh the weather outside is frightening... Old Chap make the most of it as its all you will see this year... here in Sunny Vienna the weather forecasters aresaying we will get Snow starting Saturday and it might just might stop by the following saturday... now thats going to be fun... wheres me skis...
