Shouldn't the sky be black with stars...

I don't think I'll need RAID. I wouldn't need Crossfire because I will stick with NVidia video cards. SF isn't set up to use SLI, so that isn't a priority, but might be nice for other games.

Dave was RIGHT!!!11!!11!!!1

Kidding aside, Dave's advice really saved this one.

OK, anyone have a suggestion for the best motherboard @ $100 or so? Are you/ have you used the board you are noting? I would prefer an Intel 775 board that will be compatible with future CPUs from Intel... Intel seems to have a better grasp on moving ahead at this point. (45nm CPUs and all that) A compatible single core cpu would be fine for now, I just want to be able to expand piece by piece in the future.

From Pirates of the Caribbean at World's End, the main pirate dude - Jack Sparrow... (I didn't pay that much attention to this movie, but the line was good... and no, I don't think much of Johny Depp.) "Just close your eyes and pretend it's a nightmare. It's how I get by"...

My once decent webhost, Ipowerweb.com, has totally porked the Aerodrome. They have "transitioned" my site to a new server set up and managed to "lose" all of my files... all images, all download zips, everything under the top level... hundreds of MBs of SF stuff, gone... Ipowerweb is having serious issues, so much that they are facing class action lawsuits due to the current state of their hosting operation. I will be searching for a new host soon... Well, anyway, not to worry... With all the nagging about data backup from whiney little snits like USAFBLT w/cheese, I downloaded my entire site back to my computer... I have all the stuff right here at home. Backing up data is the best advice ever given to somone who has a computer and data. Thanks Dave! I owe you one. Next time you ever get through west Michigan, lunch is on me. :yes:

SEVEN??? You had seven? When I was a kid, we got four: NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS, which was new at the time. It was all free, because it sucked.

S!

Happy New Year!

Level bombing? In a Lancaster? I'm a fighter kind of guy, not a pilot of one of the ugliest aircraft of WWII...

Bombing challenge? Are you making this up?

Point aircraft nose at target, mentally judge aircraft speed, dive angle, slipping, crosswinds and arc of trajectory of weapon, pull trigger... Observe impact. Move rudder and stick to adjust fire, pull trigger. Easy.

Dave, you ever make it back to Michigan?

Happy Birthday to a pair of very cute young ladies! What a wonderful family you have Dave! :yes:

SF games are not SLI enabled... http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.p...p;highlight=sli

Needing work on social dancing skills in preparation for the New Years Eve party, I sought the guidance of a skilled dance instructor... Dance Instructor If only I can gain half of the flair and style of this fellow, I should be quite smashing at the party! :yes:

Well, as I consider a new machine, I saw the space requirements for Vista... 15GB! That is TEN times the space needed for XP @ 1.5GB... What is MS doing that they need to take up another 13.5GB??? All that to have transparent menus? No thanks... I'll get Vista when TK makes SF DX10 compatible...

I wonder if it is Russian, flying from a secret mountain base north of the Kamchatka Peninsula...

Width and height are in kilometers and the TE will make rectangular flat areas. Be sure to use the "smooth terrain" command afterwards...

Why would one "fly" a simulation when the real thing is available? I am truly baffled at this..

Which ini? Most are very straightforward affairs...

Just look down... You'll see them. As for particular versions, I'll take the P-47N and F-86H.

6. Some modders will help people 7. Some modders will help other modders make new stuff for the SF community. Let's all get back to work...
