Trotski

What Rousso said !! these cards are designed to be overclocked ( if you really feel the need to do stupid shit like that on a new card ) So even if you had overclocked it, it shouldn't have crapped out on you period. In fairness to Asus, I can sort of see their standpoint, if something is sold via a third party, as yours was, they cant really do a great deal, unless the re sale agent passes it back to them. As for the tits that sold you the damn thing in the first place, make a complaint to the Ombudsman, not sure who that would be in your country, but most countries have a trading standards commission, and if you pass the issue to them, you may get recompense, or at least you should get itI know trading standards in the UK are pretty hot on this sort of thing, and the fact they wont give you a reason in writing is suspect and piss poor practice, if they know they are in the right, then they should be confident enough to give you a written explanation, but apparently they are a bit underhanded methinks i wouldn't let this go, on principle if nothing else !!!

OK, so what you are saying, is that, those of us who have been with the Sim from its inception, and who purchased the original game , Strike fighters project one, an all the expansions, also who bought First eagles Mk1 , and then when the sim was not supported in win 7 had to re purchase the whole damn shooting match AGAIN , along with FE 2 , are now looking at for the third time, purchasing ( albeit by private funding ) the whole clusterfuck again......shady dealings if you ask me, TK is a dick ( sorry if that offends anyones sensibilities ) who is not interested in the sim, but wont release source code etc to allow this community to develop the game ourselves,???? I would rather put money into a project run by the good folk of Combat Sim, and the Gods know there is enough talent on here to do this, than line the pockets of a profiteering wanker, who has just seen an opportunity to take the piss for the third time, and who is to say he will ( if indeed he does ) update the sim to modern standards..........Call me a cynic, but I am very wary of this, and although I would love nothing more than to update and improve SF/FE I trust TK as much as I would trust a Ferengi with the family jewels !!!

So let me get this right, TK, who has said in the past, has no interest or intention to develop, or update SF/FE any further, now expects us to fund an upgrade of a sim we have all already bought, and he has stated he isnt gonna fix...............I smell a rat in the Galley somewhere here, Tk has already had the money from us for the sim, its expansions, and the DLC's but now he wants more of our money, for something that should be a matter of course , you wouldn't pay any other game or sim extra dosh for an upgrade, if it wa a whole new DLC, then I sort of can see the point and the logic, but to fund a disintrested, and dare I say it greedy developer for fixing what should have already been fixed is a bit beyond the pale in my opinion, or is it just my cynical and twisted mind ?

25 grand ? we can raise that kind of moolah amongst us ?

Pretty bird, shame about the political considerations on the plumage though.

Oh no mate, the A-10 is so ugly its beautiful, it looks right, but compare to the Frog foot, it looks more refined.....If you get my drift

I wasn't even going to mention the Boeing horror story, the F-35 is a super model centre fold in comparison, I would love to know what illegal substances the design team were ingesting when the drew up that pile of shite !! You have to give it to the Russkis, they certainly know how to make war fighting equipment look....well.......fighty and "I'm gonna eat yer face Capitalist dog" Our Western stuff looks sort of pretty, and refined , except for the afore mentioned f-35 and the Boeing spawn of beelzebub which are just dire.

Its if you have the effects set to unlimited for some reason, I have my settings all at unlimited except for that one option , and that works just fine for me, to be honest the difference between unlimited, and high settings is negligible.

Neither the 22 or the 23 is as pig ugly as the F-35, hate the damn thing. But, oh those Russians !! They can make a pretty aeroplane for sure, Sukhoi in particular . The Flanker was sexy as hell, but this is just as gorgeous .

Yup, for sure, such a diversity of aircraft during the conflict, so yes yes yes.

I must have a play with Gimp to create a skin, so used to photoshop it has become a bit of a habit, so maybe it is time to broaden my horizons some !!!

Hmmmm.....Paint.net is very good for basic stuff, never done any weathering with it, not sure it would really be adequate, or up to the task .I use Paintshop myself, however if you dont have access to that program have you considered using Gimp ? its free, and from what I understand , you can get some pretty decent results from it. Again, I only use Gimp for making decals, as Paintshop is my weapon of choice. its another option at least if not a perfect one. Sorry I said here I use Paintshop. but I meant Photoshop.......doh !!

When I was in the RAF it was quite common to see blokes with beards , I even had one at one point, true it was only permitted for medical reasons at the time, but it was quite common, particularly in the Regiment. I dont really see an issue with it to be honest, as long as they are "regulation" as per the Navy, the only time it could be an issue is in an NBC scenario, when beards and respirators dont work well together , at the end of the day , wearing a full set isn't detrimental to the Service, they can look smart, as long as they are kept trimmed and short. ...................

Lets just hope the WRAF personnel dont want to grow beards as well hahahaha

What Cliff said, but usually I find the nearest target and dump my load on them, usually airfields If there are any in the vicinity, would be my target of choice.

I have also got a fair few Dhimari and Parani aircraft in the download section that may be of interest to you, I could most likely do some skins like these you are asking for, but I am up to my eyeballs doing others that are more likely to be useful to the community as a whole......Dunno if Spinners may be interested in doing something along these lines for you ?

Oh....And I hear you on the too stupid to be anything than stubborn....must be a trait common amongst this community I reckon !! most of us have OCD, and are a little bit insane ........

Can any of you practitioners of the Black Majiks and Voodoo heresies advise me on a difficulty I am experiencing. I am at the moment messing around, and clearing/re organising my library of models for SF2 , and I have the IA-63 Pampa , and the AT-63 Pampa II . Now as some of you may be aware, these are aircraft only done for SF 1 , so, like a fool, I am trying to get the bloody things to behave in SF2 ...........Pretty much everything works, except for the very odd behavior of the aircraft, to be more precise, if for example you set the darn thing to take off on auto pilot, it dutifully trundles off, to do the take off thing, but then if thinks its an awfully great idea to bugger off in a left hand turn, and jolly well take off where IT wants to damn well take off, SO THERE !! not only that, but your esteemed and probably drunken wing men, also take this mode of taking off as well, with the additional mode of, well, not actually bothering to take off at all, probably because the cat has died or Tescos are out of custard powder or something, who knows !! Anyhow, to get back on track, and cease my infernal rambling, can anyone shed light on this phenomena , and point me at a solution , because I cant seem to find one, I have looked at the knowledge base and saw nothing that remotely addresses this issue, also I'm Infantry, therefore a little brain dead , shell shocked, and like my wing men , most likely drunk , to whit, I aint got a clue when it comes to FM's etc, I only do the colouring in stuff, I can even stay between the lines these days !! So help me please, so I can sleep , and not dream of this damn aeroplane wandering off across the damn countryside like a water buffalo looking for a mud hole !! Cheers chaps !!

Yeah mate, I was coming to the same conclusion, it looks like a pregnant guppy with the gunpod attached, considering its supposed to be an attack trainer, it turns like a 3 wheeled bus, and I did think the proportions looked somewhat awry , dont bust yer arse on it mate, think it may be a lost cause Thanks for looking though, I just dont like seeing things not working, a shame really.
