THAT is one cool website! Loved the SE5 also. Thanks...

Yeah, it was an Orion brand PSU that fried. The second one I had to do that. Ive got a real nice PC Power PSU now. I thought about the USB thing too. Sure, everything is usb except the keyboard! It fried too! I just dont get it. I tried the mouse and joystick on another computer and they didnt work on it either.

Im on my computer surfing the other day and suddenly get a PHFFFTTT!!! and a puff of smoke come up from behind. Everything goes dead... Determine the power supply fried. Its the second one Ive gotten from Orion that did that. It had 585 watts peak power so might not had been enough for the machine. Not sure what continuous power was. This was a AMD 64X2 machine with a single Nvidia 8600 video card and Audigy sound. Shouldnt be too much of a power hog. So got a PC POwer power supply at 610 watts continuous and got it hooked up and going... :moil: Everything seems fine on the mobo but nearly all the peripherals are dead! No mouse, keyboard, and worst of all, no more ch pro stick or peddals or TrackIR!!! AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Rends garment... How in the heck can a mobo survive a fry job and not the peripherals... Man, I aint got the money to go out and buy more of these toys...now excuse me while I go beat my head against the wall.

Yup, your right, just found it! Lol! Great, glad its finally out. Soooo, belay my last...this was only a drill...

Are you people aware that the long awaited weapons editor for SF2 is out??? Ive seen not a single post on this! This is the link for it...http://www.thirdwire.com/index.htm Maybe now we can get some more weps in the game.

Yeah, keep in mind a dual or quad core core 2.4ghz cpu, for instance, is still just a 2.4ghz cpu even if there are two or more of them. Until the software starts to utilize the added cpus, games may not be a whole lot faster. If you have some background apps running while you play a game, like McAfee for instance, then you might see an improvement as the added cpu(s) take the load off the cpu running the game.

Thats pretty cool. But I'd NEVER want to spend so much time as to learn all the startup procedures for any aircraft, lol. Except maybe a camel or DR1...

Whoops, your right, its Terrains. My bad. Glad your up and running. ;0)

Yup, added EAW, red range, range, and Korea. All work perfectly. All I did was transfer the terrains' directory into C:\Documents and Settings\Jeff\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Terrains in my WinXP setup. Didnt fool around with using utilities. I first added a "Terrain" folder in C:\Documents and Settings\Jeff\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2, then drop the terrains' directory in that. Didnt ad the desert cat or anything.

All I gotta say is about frikken time. They shoulda been on those pirates from day one. I saw what the malaysian and thai pirates did to the vietnamese boat people back in the early '80's; it wasnt nice.

PPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! Rats! There went my coffee at the monitor again... Cool pit Rugg. Im gonna show it to my wife so she will have NOTHING to complain about anymore...lol.

Dave, you know what has been the toughest thing for me to learn? Greycap has the right idea above...not letting the jerks in this world rule me to the point of being angry about them all the time. Not easy when I am capable of arguing back or being as big a prick as them. I espesially love it when Im insulted for no reason other than someone doesnt agree with what Im saying, or worse, outright calls me stupid. Their lack of tack and consideration and a superiority complex tends to boil the hide right off me. Soooo, whats the answer? Kill 'em all? Nah...just move on. Remember the old saying that goes kinda like this...you always notice the bad things someone does and never see the good. Well, my answer is to learn to look for the good, then you'll notice it more. In your case, there are FAR more people who enjoy your mods who usually dont say anything at all. The occassional attaboy posts, or 4 or 5 star rating on a mod have always been the icing on the reward cake of my mods. But the cake itself has been the pleasure I got from making the mod and packaging it for the community. That being said...all you folks out there in Strike Fighters download land who download and enjoy the mods on this website...dangit! Take the time to make a thank you post once in a freakin while. Click on the little star rating thingy too. One or two clicks out of 1000 downloads doesnt let the mod maker know he's appreciated. Two or three attaboy posts after hours of work doesnt seem like a lot of appreciation to me. If yur having fun playing with the mod...say so.

Lol...know the feelin...

Ive been here from near the begining and it has always ben a good forum despite the occasional attitudinal blurp...er, blip...er, glitch...er, oh, you get it, dontcha? attitudinal...is that a word???

its alive...

I have a AMD X2 5400+ Cpu running stock at 2.9ghz. There is a nice deal on a Phenom quad core AMD Phenom 9500 @ 2.20GHz at Tigerdirect. The cache on this cpu per cpu is only 512kb. Plus it only runs at 2.2 ghz. My present cpu has a bigger cache and faster at 2.9ghz. If 95% of the programs Im running dont even take advantage of the dual core, what would be the advantage of buying the quad? Do games like Unreal Tournament 3 and SF2 or Armed Assualt use dual core or quad core? Anyone know? This bundle at Tigerdirect comes with a XFX nForce 750a Motherboard for $200. I cant afford top end but would like a better Mobo that does SLI and quad core and still use my DDR2 800mhz RAM. Another quick question...what is the Black edition cpus by AMD? What is their advantage? Thanks in advance. Man, theres a lot about this new stuff I dont know. Been perusing Toms hardware but some of my basic questions dont seem to have an answer there.

Woulda loved to see that airshow! F4Fs, SBDs, P39s!!! And a Gumman F3F!!! WHEW!!!

I am fortunate enough to have a signed picture of him. One of my old heroes for sure. Rest in Peace Colonel...

bump I dont speak french so going to thier forum isnt much of an option. Since there seems to be a close tie with some of the people here to C6 maybe someone could offer a response. Or perhaps someone has been able to get the mission editor to work with SF2. If so, could you pass the knowledge as to how you did it on to the community here?

Happy B-day pal...

Geeze, I love a good prank as well as the next. But burning cheers into the lawn??!!?? Goobers...GOOBERS I tell ya!

Batilka, any idea how this campaign would work with SF2? Just bought the game and would love to get the red side going. ;0)

I wonder if there would be any issues running Red Wings over Dhimar with SF2? Are the desert bases and units in SF Gold same as SF2? Any thoughts?

I was wondering if check6 had any plans to update this mission editor to work with SF2. I cant seem to get it to recognize SF2 installs. Maybe the utility needs an update or something.
