  10. Cockpit cleaner needed

    in Jim's Place

    Well done guitarman!

    What gave you the damage? AA? I don't think blue and red aircraft even engaged each other!

    Could always try going treetop, open the canopy, and dump the copious amounts of vodka that you must have with you out on the windscreen..... :drunken_smilie:

    Then, of course, use the sheep wool undergarments to wipe it off. :P

    EDIT : What's the 12 in the upper right corner?

    As long as you point the end with the big fan at bad people and make them fall out of the sky by hitting them with the little metal bits that come out of your wings, you'll do fine here :)

    THAT'S what I've been doing wrong!

    I think Redeye said Canon was moving or something?

    Cannon indeed moved to Iowa late last year. He got a place of his own and internet and such in March, but has been busy with new job training. He is currently in California until May 19th (I think) for more training.

    He's working maintenance/repair on the wind powered electric generators in the area. They used to be owned by Enron, but were purchased by GE after the Enron debacle.

    Quite interesting work, but the climbing would not be for me.....

    I know he misses flying though, and says he'll be back when time allows....

  14. pcmcia wireless network card for laptop

    in Hardware Hell

    I think they're alot like the wired NICs you can install in your desktop. You can get them incredibly cheap, and they may work just fine, or you can spend considerably more money - for not a whole lot more functionality, just maybe some more bundled software or better configuration interface, etc. As with anything else, you can pay a premium simply for a name stamped on the thing as well.......

    The biggest thing with wireless would be speed and compatibility. If you buy a wireless g only card, and your router or ap is b only, then there will obviously be a problem. Most g cards I've seen are backwards compatible to b networks though....

    Best to find out what the router is and get something compatible, and then maybe do a little research on what works well speed-wise. I've seen g networks that run as slow as b simply because the card is not all that great. But then, wireless depends on signal strength too, so if the router or ap is in a bad location, or isn't all that great of a router, then the best card in the world won't increase your speeds.

    Security (encryption) can effect speeds as well. Won't be an issue for internet access and such, but if you want to transfer huge files, it may be an annoyance..

    With all that being said, I have had great experience with netgear equipment, and they're stuff usually gets good user reviews....

    EDIT : I looked at your link after posting, and that looks to be a decent card. Couldn't find any user reviews on it however...

    I have just seen some of the stats from yesterday and you did not cost us a aircraft. The 352nd lost 6 to our 2.

    SO.....my little wing tear was counted as a loss, or am I missing something?

  23. inflight music

    in IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946

    Posted

    Dunno if it helps at all, but there's THIS over at Airwarfare.....

    I also remember seeing an add-on music player for IL2 one time. It was a separate program that ran with IL2, but allowed you to switch music etc. from within the game. Darned if I can find it now though......
