  1. Storm Chasing in Kansas

    Heh, home sweet Kansas :) Those are some really nice pictures CB.
  2. Now Employed by a Well known Pilot!!

    Heh, that's pretty cool. That might be a good reference for you, especially if you pursue an aviation career.
  3. Hey, I should check the Biohaz server more often. Just give me a time that you guys are on and I'll see what I can do. see in the skies!
  4. A Music Question

    Never heard of either of them. Taking your advice, I am currently downloading some Thrice songs, they sound pretty good.
  5. New Pics From The Game

    I love the water in that picture with the jeep, it looks like a wet camera, lol
  6. A Music Question

    ahh, and here I am, the one who likes (or can stand) just about everything :) "Rap is God's penalty to us for creating country." hehehe... I actually like rock a lot. Any kind. Hard rock, light rock, what have you, as long as its good music, I'll like it. Though my favorite bands would have to be Linkin Park, Evanesence, and Trapt. Has anyone else listened to Trapt's cd? It is AWESOME.

    Awesome... Just think of how much fun you could have with that thing... if it had a working bomb bay :D you could terrorize your friends, lol.
  10. Ronald Reagan Passed Away

    Although I never knew the guy as President, since I was born halfway through his second term, he stood for just about everything I beleive in. The best description I've heard of him was that he was like a father to a hurting child (the US). He had the highest approval rating of any president at the end of his term, and he demanded the respect of everyone. A man with his conservative ideals, morals, and other strengths deserves nothing less than the life he lived. S! to this great man I sadly never knew.
  11. Argh!!!

    My computer is dumb! Last week, my computer ran fine. Nothing was wrong with it. I went to my uncle's wedding last week. When I came back, everything has messed up. My computer has started randomly freezing. It usually happens when I click an internet link. Sometimes it happens when I start something via the start menu. I can't reproduce these crashes, they just happen randomly, but they can be counted on to happen. ctrl+alt+del won't work, and the only thing to do is shut off the power. Today, my XP logon has decided that I need a password to log on. I only have one user, Administrator, and I have never set a password for it. I have even set up TweakUI to automatically log on without stopping at the login screen, which just confuses the issue even more. AHHH!!! My STUPID COMPUTER!!! I think I'm gonna have to reformat, but I need to backup as much of my data as possible to my dad's computer. However, I can't do this unless I log on. If someone can help me get around the logon screen, I would be most grateful. I'm running XP, fully updated.
  12. Argh!!!

    Alright, well, I was able to figure out the password. Luckily, it was a family used one that I forgot to try earlier. I was then able to log in as the default admin. Luckily, again, I was able to find out what happened quickly and fixed that right up. So now my login works, thank god. So now I gotta figure out whats happening with my computer freezing up.
  13. Argh!!!

    I already tried that, it freezes on startup. It'll boot up fine (to the logon screen) regularily, but I can't get the safe mode to boot.
  14. Ultimate Flight Sim

    Wow... That would be awesome to see flying!
  15. June Calendars Are Up!

    Ahh, finally, a WWII plane! Very nice!!!
  16. Welcome AirBear! You're right about biohaz being much more civil. I too have stopped visiting the UBI boards. I can trust Ghostdog to get any of my LOMAC related news ;) But don't limit yourself to the LOMAC forum, join us on all the other ones too!
  17. Water

    Hey guys, one of the things I think that FS9 really lacks is water quality. I know that there are several addons water types out there, though. What kinds are out there, what do they look like, and where can I get them?
  18. Water

    hmm... I guess a better question is, are these textures compatable with a GeForce 2 MX?
  19. Water

    Alright, I'll get Bill Lyons water. But something else that bothers me, is there an addon out there that adds to the see through effect of the water? for example, in coral areas? like pearl harbour or the keys, FS9 water is just light blue. Is there something out there that would make it mroe realistic looking?
  20. Radio Comms

    FS2004 comes to mind as a good example of ATC. However, it lacks two things that would make the comms top o' the line. 1. Multiplayer ATC. This is one thing that I think FS2004 is lacking, and was a big mistake on behalf of the developers. 2. If it is at all possible, voice recognition. However, I don't think it is very probable in this sim, but its still something to look forward to in future sims :)
  21. Graduating

    Just wanted to let you all know, this weekends going to be an awesome one. I'm graduating from high school. And before everone asks, I'm going to the University of North Dakota next year, majoring in Commercial Aviation. So I'm staying in the flight business :D
  22. Need Advice Choosing Graphics Card

    Alright, I'm up for that. I'll build it for you for free. However, the parts will be on wholesale. I'll even get you free shipping. Just don't mind the fact that there are two of everything on you parts list...
  23. Need Advice Choosing Graphics Card

    I still like that idea /\ /\ /\ /\
  24. Need Advice Choosing Graphics Card

    Actually, navy, there's a few things you could do. First, you could simply go into FS2004 and scale down the graphics. I've got some things that might help you get better settings. Second, you could buy a new graphics card. As Buff said, the regular 9600 is about on par with the 4200. If you wanted to upgrade, again as buff said, go for the 9600XT, or even the 9800 Pro. Third, you could replace your CPU, but that probably wouldn't help you as much as a new graphics card. also, you'd have to make sure you upgrade with the same socket type, unless you wanted to replace your motherboard as well. Lastly, you could contact me, I'd build you a new kick a** computer, sell it to you on wholesale, and have you send me your old one as payment :D
  25. Need Advice Choosing Graphics Card

    How much are you willing to spend chief? $96 - ATI Radeon 9600 w/ 128Mb $128 - ATI Radeon 9600 Pro w/ 128Mb $153 - ATI Radeon 9600XT w/ 128Mb $167 - ATI Radeon 9600XT w/ 256Mb $204 - ATI Radeon 9800 Pro w/ 128Mb $275 - ATI Radeon 9800 Pro w/ 256Mb $408 - ATI Radeon 9800XT w/ 256Mb $445 - ATI Radeon X800 Pro w/ 256Mb I don't know as much about Nvidia (as I've become an ATI fan) but: $124 - Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 w/ 128Mb $135 - Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 w/ 128Mb $145 - Nvidia GeForce FX 5700 w/ 256Mb $190 - Nvidia GeForce FX 5900XT w/ 128Mb $397 - Nvidia GeForce FX 5950 w/ 256Mb I would go with ATI, they seem to be faster, render better graphics, and are somewhat cheaper than their Nvidia couterparts. I beleive all of these are good cards, it just depends on how much you're willing to spend. PS You wouldn't happen to want to send me your card would you? free of charge perhaps? :D
