OK so our marksmanship hasn't improved in your absence, no need to rub it in!

There are times when I'd pay some one to steal one, two or three of ours....

Sheep stealing is OK! Just don't steal ours but do share the ones you steal from others....thought I'd better clear that up right now.

Good to see you back m8

Owww. Klinger M8 that brought my arse up around my neck. I split the end of my thumb once with a club hammer nailing plaster board up on the ceiling, I use drywall screws now. Much less painful and many times more efficient!

You need to love it and show it some respect, it's hurting to tell you something. A bit kooky and new age but there you go! What did you do to injure it? I have had major success with Chiropractic treatment personally, once I picked up my M/bike after it toppled over. It weighed 659.2 lbs. Two days later my back let me know I shouldn't have done that, doctor visited me where I lay immobilised in bed, prescribed valium and codeine. I was then able to visit my Chiropractor who put everything straight in one half hour session.

I seized a BSA Bantam when I was 15...well I got the blame for not buying 2 stroke from the right pump Bike belonged to a guy called Kevin Adams, lived two doors down and he and I played guitar/bass together. He must have been better than me 'cos he ended up in Dexys Midnight Runners (known as 'Billy the Kid' then). Fired SLR 7.62, SMG 9 mm: had a negligent discharge with on on a range one day when I failed to cock it correctly. Horrible moment that was having to raise my hand, from prone position, to say 'It was me'. Fired the brit issue 9mm browning pistol too. Drove through an impromptu German Police roadblock in a AFV 434 (tracked recovery vehicle) without stopping on the way to recover a bogged down Scammel recovery truck and a Scimitar also bogged down. Once whilst driving down an Autobahn in same 434 saw a blue articulated lorry come alongside my left to over take, tracked vehicles have a tendency to drift due to unequal track lengths so constant adjustment is required. tTapped the right tiller to correct drift to the left, looked in mirror and truck was dropping back. 'Odd' I thought. 40 miles later we took a break, pulled over into a rastplatz and did the usual walk around to make sure nothing had dropped of or was about to, noticed the armoured brackets down the left ahnd side were flattened and had blue paint on them...oops! Adjusting direction whilst the lorry was coming by had caused the 439 to twitch it's back end out and hit the lorry. Must have made one hell of a mess of the lorry...but I didn't feel a thing! We had a past time in Germany driving the AFVs, kerb stone flicking. If you clipped a kerb stone just right it would flick it out of it's foundations like a tiddly wink. Dangerous but a good point scheme .

Pretty average actually From the get go Windows has invalid registry entries, and this just gets worse as apllications are installed/uninstalled. I use registry mechanic on a regular basis, and the improved boot time is tangible. Worth the $30 (I think that's how much it is) IMHO.

Well I was half right...only one has a USB. X45 is as I said though, throttle plugs into stick, stick plugs into USB... Why not use the stick as a button bay though...unless desk space is at a premium...

Nope - throttle plugs into Joystick which in turn plugs into USB port, hence both units are enabled.

Usual thing is to simply plug in the X52 Hotas as is, but put the Joystick out of the way (but in reach as it becomes a 'button bay'). I did just this with my X45/MSFFB2 combo, never ever flew with the X45, just used the throttle and the buttons on the joystick. If the X52 takes controller ID #1 setting curves can be a little tricky, use IL2 Sticks as FB won't allow curve setting for ID

And most of them will be welsh or from NZ, or a Danger Dog And all wearing Wellington Boots!

What spec is your system Dazza? I may be able to help with some bits..don't want to see you go down the slippery road to console world...

RIP indeed, quite a guy it seems. Flying right up to the end.

I uploaded both videos to our server here: http://www.dangerdogz.com/oldfiles/GT_Promo8.zip and http://www.dangerdogz.com/oldfiles/GT_Promo7.zip So should download a little quicker.

Not enough space on the world wide web to state what I'm confused about!

Success! At least one person was confused, besides me that is

Moved to General Forum. Web Site rebuild is in hand, should be finished this week and I'll make this part of it. Good point on download area, again when I have finished the revamp I will post link to download (this will be different because it is a new system).

We of the Danger Dogz are pretty much a "free Wheeling" bunch of deadbeats that have found ourselves pulled together by the enjoyment we get from playing this sim and chatting to mates via Teamspeak. Here are the guidelines we all go along with to ensure everyone has a good time, and maintain the core Danger Dogz ethic: to have lots of fun. Teamspeak We enjoy the company of members with varying levels of flying skill, from different age groups and from many different parts of the world. Please respect their nationalities, views and beliefs, well, at least until you get to know your fellow flyers and can consider them mates! The general atmosphere on Teamspeak is one of friendly banter, someone said once that it is like being in the pub or bar after work with your mates, we would appreciate it being kept that way. Also, please try and not talk over someone else; particularly if the host is giving out a game IP. If you are going to use voice activated commands for your microphone make sure the sensitivity is turned down so we can't hear your wife farting. Mapping a key and using 'Press To Talk' is preferred. Game Settings If you are new to the Dogz or a guest please make sure you have multi-engine starts mapped properly. Same applies to carrier take offs and landings. Wing fold/unfold, toggle chocks, toggle tailhook, mixture and supercharger (we use Complex Engine Management) should be pre-mapped. Co-Ops The settings are externals on, mini map and speed bar on, map icons off. If we get into competition e.g. Scorched Earth Campaigns, externals will be turned off and limited icons may apply. Although more and more of our pilots prefer to fly "in-cockpit" only, externals can be used if you are killed during a co-op so that you can "watch" the action via "view next friendly" and "view next enemy" (When doing so please do not act as a radar or warning system). Sometimes a player will have an issue at the start of a co-op, a crash on take off, he spawned and blew up etc. If the host is feeling generous (and I am pleased to say that here at the Dogz, they generally are!) you may hear them declare "20 Seconds Guys". This means that he is going to end the mission and re-start it so it is now every man for himself. Kill or be killed. Dogfights We generally start our evening with an hour or so of dogfights. Its is RED V BLUE. Kill or be killed. You are free to pick any plane from the available plane set. If you want to fly RED (allied) in a BF109, feel free to do so, likewise a BLUE (axis) Spitfire, its fine (although some members do take a light hearted exception to seeing one with German markings, "it's just not right"). When joining the dogfight map therefore, please think about keeping the numbers balanced as much as possible. Some members choose this time to practice. We generally say that if that is the case and you are not taking part in the actual dogfight, put your NAV Lights on and other flyers SHOULD leave you alone. However, they should not be used as protection when fighting. Anyone found doing this will be called “A Big Girls Blouse". People also use them when taking off and landing. Please respect this. Please check your connection speed settings, we have determined setting this to 'Modem 56K' has produced the best lag free results (some of our number are still on dial-up). Vulching This is always a contentious issue. We would suggest that you don't until you have settled yourself into our little pack. You may see others doing it, it's more likely to be a bit of pay back

S! £50 now buys you 300Gb storage and 3.5Gb bandwidth IIRC...so negotiate your renewal This site is hosted on Hostgator, so far been very good, more expensive but some nice bells and support has been 99% good. Had 3 hrs down on one server of mine, they deny all knowledge and blame my monitoring software...which is actually a 3rd party company..plus I couldn't access my site either...hmmmm. Pretty good.... I went with them 'cos they were cheap, offered all the bells and whistles I was likely to need and offered lots of space compared to the opposition at the time. Mind you, that was 2 years ago and my renewal is up soon, so it's time to look round again. Yes, uploads can be slow but downloads are very good, and uptime is more than good IMHO. Regards. Maarvin
