Me too, sorry, Sirs! After my usual evening quota of brandy I can still follow the rules - but often by devious means...

Amen to that. I hate to have too many place to check - I feel like a sheep dog then, who lost his herd.

I sent it back. Will use the "old" TV for flying, if I want it "Cinemascope", and maybe get me 27" monitor for the rest. Has anyone got an ACER or any other with a pane in front of the LED layer? Some say, it is reflecting; others say, it makes the image look much sharper. What is true?

The Club was founded as the "Barmy OFFers Club", and that is the name we should keep. "Over Flanders Fields" got "Wings", and I guess it will be much improved. But I'd like to think, that we remain the same old barmy lot we used to be. And I'll drink on that - cheers! Contact! (tink.. tink... tink...!) Clear!

Yes. With the 37" I had put the TrackIR on top of the screen.

Guys, I have added a note in the first post. Received my ordered new TOSHIBA today, but it is crapp compared to my "old" one, which I did the test flying with. So, before you buy anything: check the quality! There are huge differences!

So you guys don't say "purse" to your money bags? I had looked it up in my online dictionary. Could it be, that you use "wallets" for men rather, and "purses" for women? (They could have mentioned that IMHO...)

Three times is traditional! Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

We'll have no women...?!?! Not even after the ceremonial proceedures?

Well-ll - and you want to compress all this into "QuickMission"???

"Contact (tink ... tink ... tink) Clear!" Thank you for describing the ceremony to us, Dej! Okay, that's done - aerhh... could we now please come to the fluid part of the proceedure? The annual beer-baptising of all members? I like it how we have to find out which sort of beer or ale our heads are getting immersed into, until we raise a hand when we think we know... It's quite hard to taste wether it's a stout or a red ale, a Bockbier or a Pilsener - when the nose is also under water - aerhhh - under beer. I mean, the fear of drowning is usually my worst nightmare, but somehow - yeah, I like this proceedure!

Maybe the new Kasta and Schlasta Staffeln (ground attack units) will offer you short 2seater sorties. But man, I thought you live retired in aquiet area - take yourself the time for it. It will be rewarding.

Lou, I had to laugh heartily again when I came to the line "The Barmy OFFers Club is nothing like this." Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

Tony, that won't be the nice Christmas you sure had desired, but then next Christmas will be triple great. I wish you the best of success with it.

Q"WOFF"ing - I had to check my online dict and found it by devious means - brilliant, Robert! Welcome in the club, Wolf! You'll see we're not as bad as our image (we are actually worse!). But: whilst a lot here is only bloated, pomous, ritzy and faked - or just barmy - our good beers and ales, our brandies and whiskeys are not. So let me show you to the bar. I hope you have your purse with you? Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

Hauksbee, you can fly a campaign similarly to "QuickFlight", only that the missions take a little longer. After one sortie you can leave it to continue next day. If you want short sorties, fly German scouts, based close to the front.

As for contrast and colour: I just realised that my Toshiba TV has 5 settings; "Standard", "Film", "Dynamic", "PC" and "Games" - I chose "Games". I don't want to talk anyone into this sort of thing though - I'm not getting any percentage from Amazon or a TV producer. And I guess there may be big differences between TV screen qualities. Mine seems to be perfect for this, but it's not being built anymore. Von Baur, a triple setup was it, what first made me think of using a TV. The size, the better vision and overview.

He is already in there, and yes - he deserves it! Mwahahahahaaa!!! Hauksbee, you don't seem to realise what you are missing. Instead of flying a fun-fair shooter-style minute-sim, you could have the entire war (if you survive it). You could share life, victories and brandy with the boys from your squad. Gee, I have been living in OFF for months I guess. (Yeah, I know what the psychologists would say...)

Hey, Stary, I was just joking, okay? Perhaps you can explain in better English and more detail how to connect and activate the new desktop?

jwrich, - you connect the TV's HDMI input (select HDMI 1, if there are more) with the graphic card's HDMI output (make sure it has one). - you then switch from "TV" to "HDMI 1" via your remote control (the button is the one to switch through the TVs modes) - you then right-click on your monitor's desktop, open your graphic card's menue, and go on "Desktop Management" (or similar); - and there you select "Create and arrange Desktops" (or however it is called in English) - you should now see your monitor as "1", and a second monitor (your TV) named "2" - now you right-click on the second and make it the priority desktop - after that, you make it "only desktop" - or find a line to deaktivate the other (monitor) That last bit is necessary to receive a full picture - you can now right-click on the (new) desktop and give it the right resolution (if it hasn't detected it already) Tamper, as I said: I'm watching it from ca. 1 Meter distance. Maybe you could still see pixels then - I can't. You'd have to retreat a little further then, I guess. Maybe with a youthful eyesight, you'd prefer a small-pixelated high res monitor. To me it works wonders - I am flying in a wide open sky, with a life-size Albatros.... What more could I want?

(Nasty nasal plastic voice, immitating original speaker:) "Yeah, we just discovered it!" Hey, you "political modder", we don't need that kind of people who only come in to make their funny remarks, okay? Huh!

So I'll triple it - whatever I must do to get the bar opened!

Seems hard to find any pics - I thought I was good at "googling", but no success...

Hauksbee, you'll be in heaven!

Nott att all, mein Herr - vee use modern techolodgy! der Dsherrman efficiency - Mmuahahahahaaa!!!
