  1. No, but I will! Thanks, Rick!
  2. Thanks, Rick, I have posted over there as well. I thought we were coming back to this one after that big snafu years back, but I guess not! Happy New Year!
  3. Rick, you are, of course a very experienced and respected and helpful flyer here, so much thanks! It's interesting to me that AMD and NVidia can live together now, so hmmm, maybe I'll have to take Shootingstar2's advice! Still, I look at the difference in price between an NVidia GTX5080 -5090 and that's an eye-popper! Meanwhile, the AMD 980 X3D is affordable and supposedly better for gaming applications than even the next one, what, 995X3D, and also much better than Intel's latest offerings. But our sims don't act like other games, which is why I came here. I hope Pol or winder weigh in, don't want to bother them specifically... But yeah, thanks!
  4. All, it's been ages... I can't believe how long. I've been retired for 4 years and still haven't found time to upgrade my computer. So what's up with WOFF/WOTR? Do I still basically want the fastest clock speed processor and best graphics card that I can afford? Which, thank God,I could afford quite a bit, but bumping around here, I notice Pol saying to hold back your settings for Over the Top and work them up, does that count for truly "High end" rigs? Everyone seems to be saying AMD X3D chips instead of Intel 14900K or teh newer one, which Tom's Hardware is kinda rough on... and I'd really like to order today or tomorrow, though today seems very unlikely now... Right now, the only thing different from the listings in my signature line is I'm up at Windows 10 - didn't want to bother with the upgrade workaround because, well, look how old this thing is! I built in 14 years ago and it wasn't "front of the class" then!
  5. And now my Christmas is complete! it's been ages since I've been around, much less flown. But very, very good to see many familiar names. Indeed, always good to see Lou around! Happy New Year, everyone!
  6. Much thanks, Pol. Gotta find my way around better - I didn't see the WOFF/WOTR Tech Issues forum.
  7. Hi all, particularly Pol! I haven't been around for ages. But I recently screwed up Windows 10 and had to reinstall, and lo and behold the Battle of France expansion is out! So I bought it, downloaded it, and... do I have to have WOTR patched current before doing the BoF expansion install? Or is it a cumulative thing, similar to a patch but oh, so much more! Thanks all! And... this is more or less the "official" forum again? I can't keep up with two of them...
  8. Wow, I haven't been around for a while, but the I come back and see this! You undoubtedly don't know me, but I've sure seen you around a lot back in the day. I'm very sorry to hear it, and give you my hopes and prayers that you can find comfort and hope and maybe even a miracle as you go through this.

    Franz Stigler's BF-109G, built by my father-in-law and painted by me with custom printed decals to represent Stigler's plane at the time he allowed a B-17 (piloted by Lt. Charlie Brown, no less) to escape because the aircraft had been so shot up, and his considered it the same as shooting a man in a parachute. His commander, the legendary Adolf Galland, had admonished them never to do that - "You are fighter pilots. If I ever see you shoot a man in parachute I will shoot you myself!"

    Another of my favorites, an F-16C "Thunderbirds". In my opinion, the prettiest airplane in the sky.

    A favorite of mine, a "Red Tails" P-51D. A disproportionately large portion of the Red Tails came from my immediate area, near Pittsburgh PA. I attend a men's group in Sewickley PA. One of the members of that group. a dear man and a good friend was present in 1946 as a youngster when a Red Tail buzzed the Sewickley Heights Country Club and then the town itself at steeple top level in a prankish "what do you think of me NOW?" retaliation for the racial discrimination they endured up to that point - even up north here.

    Shelf of goodies and self-made frame for the Stan Stokes print "Showtime at the Circus" (I cut the tree down for the wood that made the frame, sawed it into lumber, dried it, planed it, etc!)
