Will do. I hope your daughter gets better soon.

Hey, that's pretty cool! Nice looking ship! I don't see you on the deck waving your arms at the camera though ;)

Proof that women are evil: Girls = time + money. time is money, therefore, Girls = money + money. money = (all evil)^(1/2), i.e. money is the root of all evil. therefore, using a=b, b=c, etc, girls = evil.

heh, I'm 23 years ahead of myself ;)

No, its not a big deal, but it is funny to see someone switch from a 737 (any fixed wing, for that matter) and change to a downloaded helicopter that you don't have :) Hovering boeings...

"You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose." "This is an A - B conversation, so C your way out of it before D and E F you up, G." "If you're not a liberal before 20, you don't have a heart. If you're not conservative before 40, you don't have a brain." Man, there's another one that I'm thinking of, but I can't think of it right now... (oxymoron). Which reminds me of another one: "Military Intelligence."

my display sliders: Scenery: - Terrain Mesh = 51% (won't go to stright 50%, lol) - Terrain texture = Medium - Terrain detail = land and water - Water effects = none (won't show up on my Vanta anyways) - Special Effects = medium - Scenery complexity = Very Dense - Autogen density = Normal - Addon density = Extremely dense - Extended Terrain, lens flare checked Aircraft: - Ultra High Weather: - Everything is down as low as possible. - Detailed clouds, with density at low (I just didn't like the look of the simple clouds) Hardware: - 1024x768x16 - Bilinear filtering - MIP = 8 (though I set it to 6 if I know I'm flying in cities, doesn't affect the look too much) - Hardware rendered lights = 4 - Global map texture size = High Ai is at 66% (and the only reason for that is because 100% seemed TOO busy, and not a good representation) Like I said, this gives me about 15 fps in the country, about 10 in cities. While I would rather have 30+ fps all the time, doing that looks like crap. To me, my fps is perfectly flyable, and it doesn't look all that bad. Just depends on the owner. Cowboy, I'm sure with your system, you'll be able to pull off 15+ in even the most fps hogging places with some tweaking.

Rgr, I can't see it either.

common navycheif, by now you should realise that you should put links with pics like that ;)

Personally, I think that's bull. While upgrading never hurts (well, rarely), I have system worse than that, and I can still run it with pretty good details. I have to settle for about 15 fps, but that's perfectly flyable/playable. Here's my rig: P4 1.7 GHz 384 Mb PC133 RAM Nvidia Vanta 16 Mb You'll have to sacrifice some details for fps, but with some tweaking, you'll be able to run the game fine. And it'll still look great. I wouldn't worry bout it much ;)

Oops, well, here we go again. Take at look that that thread, its a nasty little bugger.

Everytime I try to run PCMark04, it just tries to reinstall again. I can't get it to work. How do I?

Hey, that looks nice :) I've got some plans together for my computer I'm gonna get when I go to college. Some blue LED with the Antec Tri-color fans... mmm... It'll be sweet :D

I agree. And I would like to be one of the first (I know not THE first) to volunteer my services to this sim :)

I'm flying with a buddy of mine, come join us!

BUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

well, either that or he saw the smilie and decided it went with his nickname ;)

sweet! ...uh... gots a link? nvm, got it. Thanks :D

I don't like them, actually. but hey, we still have the ninjas :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r:

Yeah, they looked really cool. would it be possible to just take those smilies and take off the hats? They were probably some of the best looking smilies I've seen (with the exception of that winking one ;) )

Can't fly without a server...

So are we going to have a fly-in tonight? I'm gonna be out with some friends for a while, but I don't know when I'm getting back. I'll try to see if anyone is one tonight.

Hey, those still look rather good. Better than what my computer can produce in FS2004...

Do you guys have any water textures in yet? if you do, could we see some screens of those?

nope, the airplane on the main forum page is still red. Well, maybe not. Most of the time it works right, like hitting the back button. But after you've posted, and it goes to your message, when you hit a link to go to the main page, THEN the plane is still red.
