  1. HEY . .Redwolf . . I stand here . . innocent of all charges This was posted in OFF. . . Circumstances beyond my control are afoot
  2. Pilot's Items of Interest

    Also too good to lose "Low Flying" http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageNews/Stories/tabid/116/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/325/language/en-CA/Lower-than-a-Snakes-Belly-in-a-Wagon-Rut.aspx
  3. Life's a Beach . . . It's sort of like death, when you lest expect it, there it is I have the Football Channel on cable, so it's like 24/7 of football. I think if I see the Top 10 Interceptions of all time, once more I'll puke. Every Tuesday evening they show the top games from Sunday, with NO Huddles it takes 90 minutes ( commercials )
  4. Hijacked Link from OFF http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageNews/Stories/tabid/116/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/325/language/en-CA/Lower-than-a-Snakes-Belly-in-a-Wagon-Rut.aspx
  5. You have to wonder, did he intend to fly that low, or did it just work out that way So then he's totally crazy and should be committed, or he's extremely lucky :clapping:
  6. During a battle it's truly amazing the amount of not making sense activities which truly take place We just know that Capt. Bloodandguts failed to return to base that day We surmize that he was shot down . . that's not always the case
  7. Hard Landing...

    True,True . . think of the savings in weight no longer needing to support life. Also the effective operating ceiling, to say nothing of the possible High "G" manuvers, and no more money spent on pilot training programs. . . for fighters anyway . . . and spy birds Humans are still needed for the Transport Aircraft, as well as in support roles for the drones There's even two types of drones Totally Unmanned . .that can be programed to patrol a set area, and deal with "situations" as it sees fit And those that still utilize a human pilot . . but in a Remote Location . . flying by satellite In both cases skulldugery abounds
  8. Due to the lack of available space for STICKYS, anyone interested in a bunch of on-line books or other assorted aviation goodies Should go to the General Help Page, Pilot's Items of interest Thread, there are a bunch of links Once it's gone it's gone
  9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=TWfph3iNC-k Is it Live . . . . or is it MEMOREX ???
  10. I see a RED SPOT in this guy's future
  11. Hard Landing...

    For those who enjoy IDing things
  12. 50th Birthday today

    Look at it this way . . .in DOG years you're just over seven
  13. More "Brass Balls" or 'it didn't work out as I thought it would' This guy is going to become a hole in the ground someday !!
  14. Hard Landing...

    Try explaining this
  15. As a suffering long time NY Giant Fan, the miricale of the medowlands was when Quarterback Joe Pisarcek muffed the hand-off to Larry Czonka. And the live ball was picked out of the air by Philidephia linebacker Herman Edwards who ran 97 yards for the Touchdown, winning the game for the Eagles with 0 seconds left on the clock. Final Score NYG 7 PHILLY 10 I think of that play every time I see Herm Ever since that play, Quarterbacks on all teams, take a knee to end the game
  16. Hard Landing...

    Try my engine stalled when I was 20 Feet up. It's rather surprizing that the wing gave out, yet the landing gear is in one piece
  17. OFF and the Saitek X52 Pro

    YEAH . . you very rarely get what you pay for . . when dealing with a custom builder There's no problem running an X52, . . just satisfy yourself without using all the available options Don't know how fast your reaction times really are . . . but most times in WW1 Birds Especialy, . . things can change in an instant . . . without warning. . . Don't let that . . it's only 120mph Fool you I found a Bowlers Towel to be rather Handy when drying the sweat off your X52
  18. Pilot's Items of Interest

    The LAST item of interest http://www.greatwar.nl/frames/default-color.html . . Deals with WW1 in general. It's a rather extensive and interesting site On the left side is a grey area. If you scroll down in that grey area, 11 Topics Down is . . Death Waits Silently on a Belgian Beach . . select it and READ You can't do anything about it. But at least you'll know what they're talking about if the schitt ever hits the fan
  19. Pilot's Items of Interest

    More Items of interest: http://www.wwiaviation.com/ . . . Illustrated History of WW1 in the air . . Enter the site by clicking on the area with all the pilot's heads http://www.earlyaero...om/archive1.htm. . . Really old Pictures . .But a lot of them http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/23110283/m/9741007085 . . . Newer Photographs which are really a work of art
  20. OFF and the Saitek X52 Pro

    Don't use any version of the X52 as it may be fine for FSX, however I feel it abit of overkill in OFF. The only part of it I see as Handy is the left handed throttle. I think you have more buttons than OFF has Controls Never heard of putting the mixture on a slider. Most of those just starting OFF utilize Auto Mixture Anyway . . one less thing to deal with Strongly suggest you read the STICKY top of the page in General Help Also if you intend to run all the various clones of CFS3, you'll quickly discover the views are rather pitifull But there is a solution . . .
  21. off manager

    I do think you'll need to get used to the idea of running your Windows 7 Machine as administrator. Some programs won't even work without being in administrator . .. .Trackir for one I personaly think Windows made the USER way of doing business abit to widespread Now don't get me wrong. . . USER. . . is great for your youngins to do their homework without screwing up DAD's computer. But that is about all it's good for
  22. OT Shocking News!

    I personaly enjoy the "Live Hurricane Coverage", where some poor scmuck who aspires to be an anchorman someday. Is hanging onto the parking meter with one arm, holding the microphone with his free hand, both feet are completely off the ground, probably his body is parallel to the ground. He is talking to you with the heavy WIRED microphone, partially because the wireless mike is sputtering with the atmospheric conditions, and partially because that cable might be his lifeline, if his hold on that parking meter ever fails, or if the whole thing get's wrenched from the ground. That blur of color that just missed his head is a Volvo or somebodies patio table. The picture then shifts back to the studio, the reporter in safety says: "We'll be back to Jim shortly" but they never do
  23. When Phase 2 was released, everybody ran XP, as Vista was not made yet. MSSTDFMT.DLL was a 32bit Module that everyone needed to install into their operating systems in order for Phase 2 to function Therefore it's impossible to use Phase 2 on Windows 7 64bit Recommend you pick up Phase 3 as it's a totally different code, that doesn't need that troublesome .DLL I realize that could involve the VAT ( but just recently Spain changed a lot of things )
