My aussie shepard mix Buddy whom had been my friend for over 7 years, I had to have put to sleep. He had somehow poisoned himself a week ago. I didnt realize how serious it was till, I think, too late. There wasnt much even the doctors could do, his kidneys and liver were badly damaged. He quit eating and his lungs were badly congested. My sweatheart of a girlfriend did all she could to help also, but there wasnt anymore we could do; he was suffeering and only saw a prolonged death ahead of him. I stayed with him while they injected him with an overdose of sleeping medicine, looking him in his eyes, telling him I loved him. He slipped away so fast I didnt even realize it had happened at first. I brought him home and laid him to rest next to the nectering tree my mom started. Many's the trail my dog and I walked. Many a mile thru sand, sun, wind, rain, bugs; everyone one of them made richer by that good animal and his gentle, loyal company. He always forgave my temper, never doubted me, always came when I called, and was only fully happy at my side. How do you reprise a friend like that? All the days of my life I will never look at a trail again without thinking of Buddy, my friend. God, how I shall miss him... "...there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24

Very interesting article in the Surface Warfare magazine online about an upcoming design for surface ship torpedo defence; thought you all might like to look at it. Can be found HERE! Wonder how effective something like this would be in the real world?

Fates, just wanted to say well done on the calenders. Yes, I use them. This month is the DW Akula cruising just below the surface...verrrrry cool! Kinda gives me the willies to wonder how many times those suckers were watchin us pass by when I was on ship... Since its a naval calender, figured to post in the naval forum, hehe.

Man PG, sounds like you do the same thing I do. I battle aces a LOT in quick battles and love it. Ill do one on one and sometimes setup 16 vs 16. My big challenge right now is fighting against an ace I-185 while Im in an LA-7. I can outspeed and outclimb him, but he can turn inside me. What a hoot. The ai has shot me down so far at a 3 to 1 ratio, lol. Here's a couple quick battle for you... 1st one; set it up you in 16 P-38's, any version, against 8 ME-110's and 8 ME-109Z's. I call it my twin engine fight. 2nd one: set up you in 16 I-153's against P-11's or Italion G-50's or Gladiators or any combo thereof. Its my bi-wing shootout. Do it at low altitude. IL2FB is a blast! I got another day or so and Ill get PF; cant wait. Got a campaign to build, hehe.

Im surprised the format for screens has been changed; I wonder why? I prefer bmp myself as they are more accurate for detail and easy to work with in the image editing prog I have. As for your problem Fates, Ive never seen dots like that in a screen before. Are you still having the problem? Perhaps a reinstall of the game maybe? You could perhaps try an older cat version just to see what happens. It could be the drivers you know. I would most dfinately let Radeon know about this. It might be something they can fix in a new patch/cat.

Found some pics you might enjoy... Now this has gotta hurt....EEEEEOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!! Where's the 11oclock news camera when you need it? This boy needs HELP! This horse's butt had a close encounter... Speaking of butts...wait'll this lad wakes up...wait'll his brother shows his pic at school... And my personal favorite, touch and goes I'd love to do with some of the kids at school where I work...

Mine should get here monday or tuesday. Cant... wait...much longer... Listening to you guys only make it worse for me...lol.

Agreed, Battlefront is topnotch. I think they and Sonalysts will have a good business relationship. Nice to see Battlefront branch out into other areas like Naval sims.

Good preview Beer. But I was wondering how long it took to play that scenario in real time. Also, does DW model diesal subs? It looked like MJ was in one; that correct?

Ordered my copy thru EBGames online. Should get it Monday or Tueday. I tried compUSA and they said they wouldnt have it till Nov.9th. None of the EB stores in my area carried it either; they are usually the first. Can NOT wait till I get it. I wanna see if Im any better than Nesher at carrier landeings...

Goin to the store today. I aint been this excited about a game in a long time...and at my age, thats a GOOD thing to still get excited...

Thanks Mj, appreciate it. PM sent...

Nick, if you and your wife have found a middle ground, HANG ON TO HER! I can honestly say the hardest thing Ive ever done is find someone I am simpatico with. Even as easy-going as I am too, can you beleive it???!!!???

MJ, have you seen this? Can someone who does the website work reply so I can take down these pics; they use a lot of my webspace.

Whoa man, that IS sad. My prayers are going up even now, espesially for the surviving members. My sincersets condolences...

Secret weapons of the Luftwaffe, Aces high by Hitech Creations, Aces of the Pacific, Aces over Europe, F-22 Lightning 3, Red Baron, Strike Fighters, IL2FB to add a few more names of very good Fluight sims/games. Be interesting to see what else they come up with...

I logged into biohaz as usual. I go to the downloads page and noticed that while Im still logged in as pcpilot in the frame to the rightside of page, I am listed as a visitor on the downloads page. When I try to login as pcpilot, it tells me I have an "Invalid password". Then when I tried to download the files on the "Hangar screen/Menu" page, I got this error message... When I tried to download files from other directories, some would download and some wouldnt and I would get same error message as above. I also noticed on SFP1 F-4 skins page that one screenshot of skin was WAY large and didnt allow a view of the download button. That was here...F-4C 57thFIS Black Knights.

What a TRIP! The artist DOES have some serious talent and imagination, lol.

Ditto Dag...did you know the first season for Star Trek recently came out on DVD? WOOHOO!!! Ive also bought the first season of Gilligans' Island, the first two seasons of threes company, AND the first season of...drum roll please...Jonny Quest!!! Life is berrry berry goot to me...

Does this mean Im a liar AND an idiot???

Yes they do. Im curious though about the gameplay and what style its going to be. Id love to see something along the lines of Fighting Steel meets Carriers at War.

You know guys, I think Im looking forward to the hunt the most. I was an old tincan sailor and huntin subs seems like the natural thing to do. So you will probably be running my seahawk and frigate gauntlet dag, hehe. Of course, if my lookouts or sonar reports a fish in the water and I know that I didnt fire it... I would like to see an addon sometime that adds the Spruance class. Wasnt a better skimmer sub hunter out there...anywhere.

Chaingun, My sincerest condolences and prayers go up for you and your family.

Yeah, I missed this too. Didnt see it posted on the front page of Subsim were you'd think a MAJOR peice of news like this would be posted. I mean, they posted ALL the GOOD stuff... Guess I need to check the forums more.
