Anybody have a tried and true method for getting these to work? WinXP AMD Athlon 1.4 ghz Radeon 8500 64 mgb Cat. 3.2 Drivers 768 PC-2100 DDR-RAM SB X-Gamer 5.1 Live! Saitek X-45

I'll try and get on around 6 or a bit later.

Mine's the same. Will it be full real? Or normal, with map icons, padlock, etc?

Thats what I had guessed it was, just wasn't sure. Seems dumb they didn't put it in the fuselage somewhere and clear up all the visibility. And, what does IIRC mean? I think I've asked before, but I can't remember.

I've always wondered, and I'll probably kick myself for asking, but what is the big green periscope looking thing on the right canopy?

Crap... wish I'd seen this. Its 1:00 AM Central here. Care to try again Sunday, lol?

She definately merits a Purple Heart. But, I think the fact of the matter is, they shouldn't have been taken prisoner anyway. The convoy made a wrong turn and then they were not able to defend themselves sufficiently to keep from being captured. Until I hear that her individual bravery during the time saved both her life and the lives of her fellow comrades (At least temporarily) I think she shouldn't recieve anything different than any of the other men and women taken prisoner. I am not trying to be callous, because she is definately a hero for surviving such a trial, but the Medal of Honor is our highest award, period. Unless the deed for which it is given leaves no doubt in the minds of the public that it was an act of the utmost heroism, selflessness and courage, then it sould not be awarded. Doing so only cheapens the sacrifices other men and women have made.

Alright, got F-15 working just hunky-dory. Like 80 fps with full FSAA and filtering.

Oh, doesn't Jane's F/A-18 need some patch or something to get it to work under XP? Or does it not work at all under XP?

Fates, I'd send you the game... If I didn't spend every waking moment playing it. FB is definately the best WWII flight sim ever released. Before that, Il-2, and before that, Jane's WWII Fighters. The demo will be out sometime, but I would definately suggest picking this one up. Especially since the upcoming patches are going to be introducing some more jet aircraft to supplement the current Me-262.

I want to start playing Jane's F-15 and Longbow 2 again. System: AMD Athlon 1.4 ghz Radeon 8500 64 mgb 768 PC-2100 DDR-RAM SB X-Gamer Live! 5.1 Windows XP DX9a What do I need to download, what do I need to do? Will both the games even run under XP? Any advice would be appreciated.

The Medal of Honor? Hmm... I hope you don't take it the wrong way when I say this, but until I hear a whole lot more about her story, I don't think she merits the Medal of Honor. Don't take that as a slight on her character or bravery, but that is one Medal that should be awarded rarely and to those who truly perform "above and beyond the call of duty."

Care to post some FB pics? Like the nice water and terrain?

Well, if I go to the Academy, I think I won't have to much of a chance to play, wouldn't ya think?

Your vision won't stop you from any branch, but I don't know anything about the medication. I have 20/150 correctable to 20/10, and I can be pilot qualified if I get PRK or LASIK. For the AF, they don't allow anybody to enlist with more than two law violations in a single year. You'd have to go see a recruiter for the exact information.

OMFG! Godamnit why do I have to be just starting college when its released! Crap!

I'm waiting till the modders release something that brings it to at least CFS2 level. Then I'll reinstall.

Remind me to get a job. Thats more than I can afford currently, although they do look really nice. Please be sure to include how well they work when resting on just carpet, please.

Quite a lot of, umm, detail there, lol Actually, looks pretty good. At least its not an "I Heart Skater"

Dude, Cowboy, that looks pretty good. Favorite is Dos Eques Amber though.

Welcome to the fold.

The navy has some great uniforms. Just saw a great picture in the latest Aviaton Week, had a Marine Capt. in dress greens. She was really looking good.

Jeff, I think it's time you introduce some new flavors, the pub is dying down bro. Or maybe I need to stop checking it so often, lol.

Don't think I'd ever seen a green Navy uniform before. Looks good though. Just had the Mil Ball, so if you wanna see some of the pictures: http://fencedinarea.falconville.com/Files/...ject-mball.html Actually, after #30 it gets into the after ball party... so, and then on to the rest of the weekend. Ah well, the pics of the ball are pretty crappy. I've got some better quality ones, they'll get up there sometime.

Awesome screenies! Can't wait to do some dogfighting with those nice little clouds. Hell, can't wait to do anything!
