Dagger

This aircraft is a beauty!!! I highly recommend this one..great detail from nose to tail and is VERY easy to fly.

downloading it now..will let yall know how it is soon.oh yeah..I've opted for the big one..gotta have the music. :D

Rocky at Ghostrecon.net posted that Christian has finished his new Campain.Now before yall go running to Fileplanet and downloading it..it comes in at 170 megs,mainly due to the music files,but theres a no music file it's a mere 25 megs,but the author says it music adds to the atmosphere so if you can stand a BIG download get the music file.

My wife decided to buy me GR gold edition..at wally world...at the checkout they scanned the game and carded her...said you have to be 18 or older to buy it.of course I had a good laugh but she wasn't real happy about having to dig out ID.

2003 brought us some truely great flight sims,and some great FPS sims..now it looks naval simmers will get their plates filled with atleast 3 new and very exciting looking titles already announced...PT Boats:Knights of the Sea,Dangerous waters,and now Silent hunter 3. Head down to the Naval sims forum and check out the links to learn more...

please check your drivers and maybe close all back ground programs before starting game...I have a AMD XP3000+,512 2700DDR,and a FX 5700 ultra with the 53.3 drivers,running it maxed I get 20FPS and if i cut it back to med. settings I get between 30 and 40..your system should run it great,could be a program running in the back ground drawing from your system.Hope you get it going as I was a disbeliever,like you but now I really enjoy this sim.

I thing I saw somebody was starting a F-4U add-on..that could be interesting.

from what I've been reading it's basically a PS2 version of Island Thunder with a few enhancments.

HEY!! She borrowed that from my ex wife!!!I saw it parked out back(to late though).

For all you WW2 sub commanders UBIsoft has announced Silent Hunter 3 is to be released late 2004.head over to Subsim and check out the news on the front page.

"While most of us would prefer the next Ghost Recon title released to be for the PC, unfortunately it's not. The next title - Ghost Recon: Jungle Storm, due out this time next month, is available only on the Playstation 2. Release date is 2/17/04." So all you lucky PS2 player get on down and give it a try..the rest of us have to wait and hope they release it for PC.

this one is here...just scroll to bottom of the page.oh yeah...pardon the open bomb bays(i was playing) :D http://www.simviation.com/fs2004vintage8.htm

Theres a chance that Ghost Recon 2 could be released this year..I'll keep yall posted on the news releases on this. Heres the post by Rocky from over at Ghostrecon.net " Just when you thought we had speculated about Ghost Recon 2 as much as was possible, there is yet more fuel to keep those hopeful embers burning! This months PC Gamer states that they are expecting news from Ubi Soft regarding Ghost Recon 2 any time now, and they have it slated as one of their top up-coming games for 2004. There is nothing concrete mentioned, so it could be nothing more than idle speculation, but we live in hope!"

wheres your holiday spirit??ok nothing but a lump of coal for you next year.I'll ask MJ about it.

everybody has had a dogfight or a mission they remember most all,because of the amount of time involved or the way it unfolded,or maybe it was just one you witnessed..lets hear about it.Remember to let us know the sim,and if it was MP or SP(thats right some of my best missions have been in SP),who all was involved.As a matter of fact maybe some of you grunts remember a misison from OFP,GR,or some other game that was just really cool and left you walking away pumped.

could be interesting..like getting to games for the price of one.(now if codemasters just don't slow down OFP2)

Chief,don't try to change anything at first..just see if you can access all your files and programs.if you can then the problem is a program based hic-up and you can fix this by running MS config and shutting it down at start up...this is easy way to find out. start>run>msconfig>start up tab>leave only the bare basics running uncheck the boxes next to the ones you don't want to use at start up..I just leave zone alarm and anti virus on(oh yeah...and Folding).once you leave this on then click apply and restart.easy as eating pancakes.

Chief if you're using XP then when you get the windows start up screen,watch it and it will tell you to hit F8 to get to safe mode...start it up in safe mode only..there's a couple different mode but just use the safe mode(without anything else running).this starts up system with the bare min. it needs..from there you can see if you can get into all your drives and programs files.

and I just got the first one installed... :D

Chief have you tried to start up in "safe mode"yet?if not try that...then you can find the little bugger...and even edit your reg. and delete the prolem..or change your start up.

Ok so I got it because it was said to offer so many new weapons and missions..and a new campain...but after playing with it...GET it run over to http://www.ghostrecon.net and follow the WOW link.this is a great one.now if OFP could get their maps this detailed and the graphics this good and maintain the gameplay it has I'd be teh first in line to buy it.

your right in thats the MX cards aren't liked by lomac..but SF does...sorry I can't help you on the ini files but might ask some of the great modders here at Biohaz.

I know this is a pain in the butt,but do a complete uninstall and then reinstall.I mean a complete uninstall...be sure everything is gone,then check your reg. to make sure it's gone from there also.do a defrag,and make sure all your sound card drivers are up to date...or if they worked before and you had older drivers might install the older set and see if it's a case of this sim doesn't like these drivers.reinstall..and do a FULL install.once installed check your settings.Did they work before you uninstalled it? if so whats changed since you first installed it.

ok...my 2 cents worth. I like the majority voted for our President,but This great land with it's promise of freedom gives me the right to complain.Do I believe the clerk went to far...oh yeah,did they follow their policy to the letter...again yes,BUT they in all their intellectual glory failed to use common sense.It is sad when a parent trying to get their child something for Christmas gets raked over the coals for it,for that matter She should be glad she wasn't trying to buy Operation Flashpoint,or Ghost Recon..OMG almost terrorist training tapes :D All this is..again IMO,is a case of over reaction and lack of common sense.from the store clerk to the troopers something was missing...yes everyone failed to impliment their origional issue M1 Brain matter. This is kinda like a student buying a chemisty book and getting detained because they could learn to make nerve agents. The finger of blame is being pointed at the wrong place..it's not the White House,The President..or even a brain dead store clerk, it belongs on the terror network that we're currently fighting in places all over the world.

exactly Chief...they are used to practice approach angle and touch down.If you've ever hear or read about Naval and Marine aviators they do ALOT of them before deployments.or if you make a mistake then a touch and go could save your aircraft and your passengers.
