Damn, Friday or Saturday this week? No go for me. Graduation parties all week long. But then comes summer...

lol, maybe sometime soon, now that got no school.

Guys, ya have to go to FilePlanet and download the 600 meg 25 min trailer. Its absolutely the best trailer of the best game I have ever seen.

Personally, I think HL2 is better looking than DoomIII. It looks more gritty and realistic. Doom has some great lighting and killer effects, but it looks cartoonish as well.

No, we don't do Senior Projects around here. Todd, yeah, it was inflatable, but I don't remember the name. It had like a big football goal and a hill and some tunnels though.

Great movie though. I love the lighting and fog effects. They need to work on the decals though. The fog doesn't effect the red star on the MiG's wing.

Jeff, might wanna main page this, but I noticed Saitek has revamped their site, with new drivers. Might be worth checking out.

Hmm, would have figured this garnered at least some attention. I mean, I know I'm not the only one with a Saitek stick, or problems.

Ahh, well that'll do.

Halleluja! Just installed them, and they are excellent. Now my X-45 works like it always should have, and programming is a breeze.

Hey, I liked Saving Private Ryan too, as a movie. As a historical feature, it fell a bit flat. Too much of the plot was unrealistic and, to me, that means a lot. The beachhead scene was exellent, and the movie was historically accurate as to weapons, locations and setting. The plot is my only peeve with SPR.

Definately a good T-shirt.

Anybody here play Ka-52 Team Alligator? That was a pretty decent helo game. They crippled the flight model, but did actually take into account most of the physics of helo flight. If this sim can improve upon Ka-52 then I'll definately buy it.

MadJeff, dunno about CombatSim. They used to be my homepage, and when they went pay, I signed up as well. Kept my membership till they resigned their daily sim news and reviews and articles. BioHaz is my homepage now, and trust me, you're up there as my favorite simulator website. Keep the forums clean, productive and full of intelligent members. Keep the news and articles flowing. Most of all, keep us up to date with all the aspects of the sim community. Excellent job.

Well, can't help ya there. Haven't yet tried my hand at modding SFP1.

Do the CH pedals have toe brakes? I thought only the new F-16 pedals had working toe brakes.

Yeah, didn't win anything at my project prom, just took a helluvalot of pictures, wandered around, messed with all my friends. They had a killer obstacle course thing set up, rocked hardcore.

Its never too soon, lol. Shameless plug.

Did you hit 'e' to start the engines? I need to jack the settings down more on mine. I can't get decent frames at all. This is on a PC that can run Il-2:FB at full graphics and get 35 fps easy.

Jeez, its such a big deal now, limo's and stuff, god. I could do without all that nonsense. I wanted to just drive myself and my date, would been cheaper, lot less hassle. Especially since some folks were late to be picked up. Totally a charlie foxtrot. So expensive. I'll get some pics uploaded later.

You have to go to your senior prom. And man, senior year is hard. Hard to know you're leaving all your friends, most of whom you'll never see or talk to again. Its pretty depressing. Its also one of the best years you'll have. Damn, I'm getting philosophical, lol.

Prom was cool, but yeah, had the most fun afterwards. If everything had gone according to plan, ten of us would be spending the weekend at Lake Conroe in a condo, but things didn't pan out. Too bad too, that would have been great. Then again, I probably wouldn't be able to remember my name on Monday.

Not yet, June 1st for me. Prom was last night.

MJ, you've got a T1 and only getting 61 kbs? I'm dld'ing with DSL and getting 141 kbs. 1345, Central.

Best movie (series) I've ever seen. As realistic as they can get, no Saving Private Ryan crap or campy storylines.
