http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2867929/Navy-ask-French-help-hunt-Russian-submarine-thanks-defence-cuts.html I would like to thank your countries and your servicemen for helping us out once again as my own Government has left my country wide open to incursions from foreign Submarines. And as a former submariner in the Royal Navy I know just how vital it is to have a Maritime Deterrent in the air. These guys flew thousands of miles on round the clock sortiess to hunt for an invisible enemy lurking in the waters off the coast of Scotland, I work at RAF Lossiemouth where they where based during their deployment but I never got the chance to thank them personally. Thank you once again, we are lucky as a nation to have such great friends.

SF2 Looks the Mutts Nutts
GunnySonics posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I've been away from Strike Fighters 2 for about 2 years as i've been doing alot of modding etc with FSX but i recently downloaded DCS and the Flamming Cliffs 3 addon, I cant say I was that impressed with DCS, to me you almost have to go and join the Air Force just to get the jet onto the runway, so I thought i would come back to SF2 and have a look at whats changed, and looking through the screenshots this evening it looks amazing. Some of the terrain mods look fantastic i recently upgraded my system to run FSX maxed out so i'm really looking forward to getting back in the seat with SF2, i've been going through the site with a pen and paper and noting files down, i think it will be a couple of days by the time i get everything installed and good to go, really looking forward to finishing my night shift and making a start. Im mainly a cold war warrior, not really keen on the modern fly by wire stuff, im a huge fan of the F4 and Buccaneer, and as an EX Royal Navy Chief i will have to source some ships and submarines to go into the soup -
This is more of a heads up than a rant guys and the info may come in handy especially if you are thinking of buying the Saitek X52Pro for xmas or a present for someone else. I've spent the last 2 months getting FSX to run as smooth as possible with about 40GB of various addons and had it running perfectly with all sorts of custom military traffic etc, I was using a CH Flight Yoke as I mainly fly the Nimrod or P3 Orion, anyway i downloaded a couple of fighters so decided to buy the Saitek X52 pro, brand new. I downloaded the latest drivers and thats where the trouble began, a known problem i may add, but unknown to me. The result was like a virus sweeping through my system, none of my games would work, the PC kept freezing and hanging, all sorts of crap going on. The solution was the drivers were conflicting with my Z87 motherboard, not sure if it conflicts with other MOB's, but the fix is:ti disable xHCI in BIOS which means that all USB port will operate at USB 2.0, this fixed the solution however i had to uninstall SF2, FSX, DCS and then reinstall them all. Now the X52Pro works brilliantly, but what a ball ache, should've just bought a Thrustmaster Hotas X for £30 and been problem free. Anyway, just thought i would share as it took me 4 hours of solid googling etc to find a fix.

Thanks mate that looks awesome, i've been away from SF2 for a while and wanted to know which Tornado was the best on site and this looks like the one, im sat in a hanger with 7 of these awesome jets at the moment so i will download and give it a shakedown when i finish night shift. -
It is and of all the other people that have endured this pain not one person got the fix from Saitek, it came from some other poor sod that went through hours of crap to find a fix, hopefully i can prevent that happening to members of this site.
