  1. Crop Circles Anyone?

    Another video I came across. For some reason I find it mildly amusing.
  2. F-35s land in the UK

    Very true. But new isn't always better and old is always obsolete.
  3. Cessna Ground Speed Check

    I have tears my eyes. That was awesome.
  4. The 10 Worst US Aircraft

    Interesting list. Paper thin wings huh ... should've sent that guy to Germany during WW2... Spitfires would windup as Spitballs.
  5. Huey Flight School Video.

    Just found this and 1.) Thought of Fast Cargo and then 2.) Thought some of you here may like to see this too.
  6. Storm Trooper Dance

    I saw there video a few weeks ago myself. They got Simon to give them a standing ovation .. Simon!
  7. Hey to all the USMC and military members of CombatACE I was watching a very interesting Youtube video about the making of a United States Marine. From day one to graduation day. The changes made from A to Z. Anyway in the video I noticed some guys wearing shirts with ITC DI on their back. I know DI is Drill Instructor but what does ITC mean? Also On the firing range the guy wearing a white explorer hat (that's what it looks like to me sorry I meant no disrespect). Told a recruit "Remind me to make sure you get C-O-P for that bolt." What does COP mean? And what's with the white hat? That is all. Thank you all for your time, your service, and patience. Semper Fi.
  8. USMC Questions (Semper Fi)

    Ah that makes a lot of sense. CLP not COP. Thank you sir!
  9. Silence speaks volumes...

    Yeah I'm lost too.

  11. The person with hands in the air (I'm assuming the one that presses the button the launch the plane) why are they twisting like that?
  12. US Marines get a good pasting..from Norwegian Schoolkids!

    Talk about a cold situation. I meant that in more ways than one.
  13. Do You Like Indie Music?

    If you like indie music then you might like this site. Some of the people on here are pretty talented, some hopeful. http://club1506.com/
  14. R.I.P. Muhammad Ali

    My Reaction When I thought Ali died a long time ago. Yeah ... oops. Float like a Butterfly sting like a Bee May he RIP
  15. Migbuster .. is that you in one of the Blue Angels planes?
  16. Having a Bad Day at Work? Yes? No? Maybe? Well here so some people having a not so good day. ... But if there is to be a Take-Away from this. Don't talk trash to the person who controls the metal claw.
  17. Having a Bad Day at Work? Watch This

    I know wondered what that was all about. I mean. Do you think that was the house where the dude who screwed his wife lived or something?
  18. Having a Bad Day at Work? Watch This

    Dang ... really? I haven't. ... yet.
  19. So for a while I couldn't play any really high end simulators with my old system. As I live out in the freaking sticks with ole AT&T being my internet provider ... let's say it took about 11 hours for DCS world to download. Which isn't bad because it took me Two Days to Download the patch for Fallout 4. Yeah it sucks living where I live .. when it comes to technology. I get some awesome Wild Discovery action though (er for all you yung uns out there that's a really old show where you'd see animals eat other animals) seriously I looked out my window and saw a Red Tailed Hawk swoop just a few away from it and snag some kind of small rodent. Very exciting. A coyote was in back yard one day after it rained really hard. Pretty animal scary as hell that it came that far into city limits. But still very pretty. I digress. I get DCS world and happily installed my copy (thanks to a competition here on CombatACE) of Flaming Cliffs 3. Yep. I was really happy to be in an A-10. Trying things out. Flying around. Yeah I broke the cardinal rule of not reading the manual or doing the training missions. Picture a pot belly feller about 30 years of age walking towards one the most deadly ground support aircraft. The sun is rising behind him as his eyes sparkle at the beauty before him. He's handed a manual. He takes a look at it. "Nah I did this before" he says and tosses the very large manual over his shoulder. It plops on the ramp behind him. Another person approaches him. This person is well fit and wearing the typical aviator glasses. "Here I'll give you some free lessons." The pot belly feller shakes his head "Nah I got this." The battle is set. Friendly forces are being penned down by a major enemy force. Pot belly one grins to himself as he pictures the hell he's about to unless upon the enemy. That's when it hits him. This ain't SF2. Yeah, yeah there sure a lot of buttons here to push ... um let's try this one ... nope how bout this one? nope, Oh this one? Windshield whippers activate... You know what? Screw all these bombs and stuff I'll shoot these punks. Some of the enemy forces were critically wounded from laughter. The rest was classified. I mean that's standard when someone gets shot down in 40 seconds ... right?
  20. Any of you older members remember this SNL skit?

    sheesh... no wonder why the Navy has a high turnover rate and a problem keeping people beyond their 4 year commitment.
  21. My sorry excuse for a flight game

    First of all ... as person that made a handful of crappy mods I can appreciate the time, dedication, talent, and skill it took to get to this stage. That's awesome. And for reason this reminds me of the old Chuck Yeager sim. I know you're not going for that look. Your video brought back good memories and lifts my spirits that flight simulation isn't dying off. This is so exciting to see this! I love seeing how games are made. This is awesome! I can't wait to see what you'll come up with.
  22. I'm talking with someone about snipers. And we're doing some fact checking. Here's their question: Here's my question: What kind of questions are snipers asked by medic in the field, or shrink, when they're being evaluated? I ask this because my High School History served in Vietnam. He mentioned having to do this as a medic. I'm sure things have changed since then. However I'm still curious to know what some of those questions might be. Anyway. Thank you for your time.
  23. Is there a sniper in the house?

    Thank you for taking the time to answer those questions!
  24. It's been nearly ten years since I last bought a computer or touched one. So I'm out of the game completely with all of this new gear out. The last time I built one. With my time as limited as it is I figured I should just go ahead and buy one out right. Having said that I have my mind set on a few rigs. But to me they look (spec wise) the same. I'm not sure which has enough or which is just overkill. ... though I wouldn't mind a bit of overkill. Pricing on these are okay for me but it's what it's the tower than I'm concerned about I don't want to get screwed any more than what I already am (I know it's cheaper to build your own). So here we go: First Contender: Base price of $700 (shipping fulfilled by Amazon) **A little outside my comfort zone** CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA3100A Gaming Desktop - AMD FX-4300 Quad Core 3.8GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD, AMD R7 240 2GB, Windows 10 Home Second Contender: $580 <---Liking this for the price range [GAMER'S PICK] SkyTech Shadow Gaming Computer - Ultra Gamer Desktop PC AMD FX-4300 3.8 GHz Quad Core, GTX750TI 2GB Graphic Card, 1TB Hard Drive, 8GB DDR3, 24X DVD | GENUINE WINDOWS 10 PRO 64-bit Third Contender:$489 <---Liking this one too for the price range CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA880 Gaming Desktop - AMD FX-4300 Quad Core 3.8GHz, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD, 24X DVD, NVIDIA GT 720 1GB, Windows 10 The Angel: $630 <----(pushing my comfort zone but hoping it may be worth it in the long run) [GAMER'S PICK] SkyTech Archangel Gaming Computer - Ultra Gamer Desktop PC AMD FX-6300 3.5 GHz 6-Core GTX750TI 2GB Graphic, 1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive, 8GB DDR3, 24X DVD | GENUINE WINDOWS 10 PRO 64-bit There really aren't any vendors in my area that sell these kinds of things. I mean I have a Staples and Wal-Mart nearby. There are "computer" stores but I don't trust them. I am open to suggestions if none of these will do. Getting a gaming computer wasn't something I wanted to do but a colleague at work suggested I get one after he heard what I was wanting to do. Video production, med level gaming, and writing lots of writing. He suggestion did make a lot of sense ... that awesome video of Fallout 4 did the trick too. Seriously I am needing more computing power for the things I would like to do. And by the way speaking of video production. Is anyone here (I think we may have a lost thread about this) but is anyone here familiar with video editing software that will not break my tiny budget. I do not wish to pay a monthly subscription either for the software. Thank you all for your time. And hopefully this is the year I can get a new system. Hopefully.
