    Heyyyyy....was up there last week!

    Lady guide said that approx. 50 of the ships were raised soon after, leaving 24 on the sea bed. 2 different salvage companies got the contract but went bust, the third one got the job done. Apparently no-one was killed during the scuttling but the German sailors were shot at by the Royal Navy. 

     

    Not far from here is the wreck of HMS Royal Oak, torpedoed in 1939 with massive loss of life as it capsized and sank very quick. Marked by a single green buoy. Being a slow mover It was on it's own in the flow providing gun cover for a communications site as the rest of the fleet was out on manouveres when a German submarine snuck in and sank it. First one torpedo that hit the anchor chain then another 3 that finished it.

     

    Sorry Arthur, hope I haven't hijacked.......

    Still makes me chuckle though, the casual "Ooops....." crash on take off :P  JP would still have a rant even after all these years.

     

    Reminds me of this piccie, We must be getting better 'cos some of the 'acts' don't seen so relevant now....

    I love you too JP XX Normaility? Hah....overated.

    Copy the 'Users' folder from the game folder. That has all your info re. controls etc. however the 'Controls' section of the game changed in 4.10 I think and added some additional controls so I'm not sure a 4.07 setup would fit. Try it anyway.

  15. Is It Possible To Use This Instead Of A Buttkicker Amp?

    Maybe if you use a car battery?

    And charge it continuously?

    Yeah, more stuff to buy ... :shaunhb:

    Lol, that is not a good idea. :sleepy3:

    I wouldn't have a car battery in the house being charged under any circumstances - having one being charged continuously could cause many problems. If it's a lead/acid type there will be fumes present continuously and there is always the risk of overheating/running dry....

    Arthur, why is that not a good idea?

    To have a car battery on permanent charge in a house? Well.....it might be a good idea. Just depends on your tolerance to noxious gases produced by car batteries on charge indoors and/or the risk of fire and explosion associated with that.

    @Crash; just make sure you have plenty of home and personal injury insurance cover or move the rig into the garden!

    Touche....

    Sorted...ordered! Well spotted.

    I've arranged to pick mine up from the local Debenhams store in town - according to the confirmation email the collection point is the 'Womenswear' till on the first floor. The conversation when I go and pick it up will go as follows:

    Nah...you boys decide how it goes. Best entry I will buy a beer at Duxford :salute:
