  1. Interesting. My result with a stock PhenomII x2 (2 cores unlocked so an x4 now): Detail: No over clocking, and I can see my CPU and RAM (can't remember brand but it's running at a paltry 667MHz ) are holding things back. Pleased to see the 1024 HD4870 has some life in it yet though! OK my RAM is G.Skill and rated for 800MHz, not sure why I didn't get it running at it's optimum speed... Me thinks there may be some fettling to do
  2. Very nice. I like the sunsets and street shots too, envious
  3. Fingers crossed Jim, sounding much more satisfactory now and pleased to hear you are feeling better day by day too. Jane and co send our love and thoughts to you and Helen.

    Run the manager as admin. Make sure it is in direct mode Jim, not mapped, for Calibration. Also download the map too, no doubt done but.. They work fine in 7 64bit, so long as you run as admin! I'm working on a map that will work with FFB2 stick too using Pinnacle that you may be interested in too.
  5. Also a long shot but... As it is a different case make sure it doesn't have an extra mobo mounting post that is touching the board, generally moving a board into a new case will at worse result in a loose compnent or two. But having too many posts is very common.
  6. So what is this label about then? Clickable cockpit, I thought that had been ruled out or have I had another brain fart?
  7. Hi Guys. Quick heads up for you all: IPB are releasing the latest version of our forum software on Tuesday, applying some bug fixes and enhancements that prepare the system for further updates. I am planning on updating the software Wednesday, providing there are no known compatibility issues with any of our add-ons. Down time should be minimal for a few minutes. Addons will be temporarily disabled during the upgrade, Gallery, Downloads, Turorials, Member Map etc.. The upgrade paves the way for a new Gallery that is much easier to use and feature rich, Downloads is also going to be updated. I will also finally be able to create a new Web page set, replacing the home page and re-instating the rosters and Chapel pages etc. These are scheduled for release, one at a time, each Tuesday leading up to Christmas. The order has not yet been published though! In the meantime I have just applied a mod that has added an 'Up' button to the default skin for those that use it:
  8. Got a lot of people rooting for you Jim, and I know support will be more than forthcoming from all here. Disturbing news, hope you are able to get back on the best chance treatment again. Do you want this to remain in the open forum?
  9. Hmm.. I didn't think of that when I turned this into a tutorial.. Oh well!
  10. New forum software being released on Tuesday 26th, then each of the apps we use are being updated on following Tuesdays!

  11. And of course you can mount the image as a virtual drive, to restore individual files/folders. eSATA cables are different Snacko, and the dual ports are odd. You don't happen to have a BIOS setting to turn eSATA on/off do you?
  12. Bloody hell Jim, take it easy and recover quick! We have a nasty flu like bug going round here, it has knocked me sideways and left fluid on my lungs too (but not to the same degree as you). Our NHS - 'You need a chest X-Ray in a month, in the meantime try these anti-biotics'. Really sucks when self-employed!
  13. Because the 'code' tag attempts to syntax colour text, in the forlorn belief that the poster will only use it to present php and/or other geeky code nuggets I sometimes wonder if it my eyes playing tricks on me too
  14. Now why does that not surprise me?
  15. LAN boot requires a bootp server, either a Linux box that will tftp a boot image or a Windows server configured to do the same. For your purposes a bootp server is over kill, and I would suggest using the Acronis boot tool, you will need to set a share up on your main PC. So long as Acronis supports the net books LAN device you will be able to upload an image to the share you created above, once you have mapped the drive. Not used Acronis this way personally but I have with Norton Ghost. By far the easiest and quickest method, however, is to boot off an Acronis bootable USB drive with a large USB drive also attached, and drop the image that way. Quicker than across a network with packet over head
  16. As you can see, we can show the awards one of two ways. Either in the Sig, and centred, or under the profile as it is now. Which do you prefer?
  17. 15 miles from Cambridge city center? 21 miles from Duxford?' Yeah, 'relatively close' ... to a Canadian maybe... ) ("1.44mi from city center" is Huntingdon city center me thinks...) Mind you, not to be criticizing here, just wanted to make clear what 'relatively' means! Camping is not a problem for me... You may have the wrong Map FT. The hotel JP posted link to is next to Cambridge Airport with is les than 3K from city centre. Huntingdon would be around 20 miles away, Duxford is 10.5 miles and 20 odd mins away

    TS3 is Beta software.. Whilst what I said above is true, I did forget one thing.. The TS3 Server may not necessarily be updated, so when you get a message that there is an update for the client available this may not be compatible with the server. Rule of thumb is only update the client when attempts to connect to the server fail because of incompatibility.

    Well it is a dedicated TS, run by DarkStarr LLC for us. We have no say in the upgrade cycle and have to accept each and every upgrade foisted upon us. Does anyone else have these issues, or experienced similar?
  20. Holiday Inn Cambridge LAKE VIEW, BRIDGE ROAD,CAMBRIDGE ENGLAND CB4 9PH £99.00 Down side is it is 15 Miles/20 mins from Duxford. 4 miles from me If we are still here in our current place we have room for caravans/tents etc.. And a pub next door, but not up to Red Lion standards.
  21. I have created a Tutorial for this: Awards System Tutorial Should it be required permission can be granted to an awards manager/committee to create/grant awards. Naturally awards need not be limited to just campaign stuff, we could have Top Gun medals, best host awards etc. etc..
  22. Fair point! I have 3 backups now. Part of the issue is our web site is now over 32GB with the vault and gallery, which as you can imagine is difficult to back up effectively. The host we are with deems we have too much data for the automated and control panel backup routines, so I have mirrored our data to two servers and Amazon storage!
  23. Loafing around with a post 'flu chest infection, and nasty anti-biotics

  24. I have added an Awards system to the board now, you should see an 'Awards' link on top menu. General idea being that Campaig ribbons etc can be added, and awarded to users, and these will show in Sigs and on profiles. For an example check any post made by GreyKnight, and you will see a centred Kuban Ribbon in his sig in addition to the ribbons he added himself. Moderators can award users, and create the awards in the ACP. Would be very helpful if you guys could add ribbon images to the newly created Awards Category in the Gallery. The urls can then be added to awards to associate the images, this way the caching system will cache the images and improve page load times. I have uploaded 3 ribbons today, the ideal format for the image name I suggest is: campaignname_ribbon.ext (ext being either jpg or png - latter is preferred). The above would be a ribbon, a medal would be George_Cross.png Hope you guys like this!
