Fantastic m8, very pleased for you!!

The joystick etc fits nicely onto the mobile part of the desk

Nice set up Crash...wouldn't get away with that at home though

Not liking a swivel chair whilst flying and not wanting to buy a new one, I was looking for a way to sit comfortably and use the pedals securely ie stop them moving about on the carpet. I tried sticking things to the pedals' base using double-sided sticky tape (I watched Blue Peter) and it worked, but it started to get messy and the non-slip stuff went into small rolls and became uneven.
So, having already adopted a dining room chair with parachute/cushion I looked for a way to attach the pedals to the chair. After a bit of measuring and buying some offcuts from B&Q for £1, I came up with this....
After using it for a couple of weeks it was time for some refinement
And in place
Nice and secure, no movement whatsoever

Sorry GruppenBoss, I should have been more specific...it was during dogfight/coops that the error manifested itself.
Aaaaargh (that's how it's spelt Carl), stop twisting my arm...
It was ok during SEOW, probably because I didn't fire my guns.......ooops....if I had it might have been different

TF for that....!
I had a mysterious bailout in the week and put it down to me still having it programmed somewhere in the X45 stick software and forgeting it was there...had a look and couldn't find it so shrugged shoulders and left it - put it down to gremlins.
When it happened tonight it peed me off 'cos I was shootin' the cr@p out of Akula and was having a ball...
I had a warning something was up because I had a brief glimpse of the "bailout" view of the plane before it went back in cockpit. Moments later I was dangling in my chute and cursing.... 
I had another look at the stick programming tonight and found the problem. As per the game some of the weapons involved the "ctrl" key - so does bailout. On the pinkie, and for all 3 modes, I have engine controls incuding the extinguisher which is keyed to "E" - operated by button 3. Without the pinkie, on modes 2 & 3, firing both weapons is keyed to "Ctrl space" and button 3.
So, inevitably, the inevitable happened....whilst I pressed button 3 my little finger unintentionally squeezed the pinkie....and created the magic combination of ...Ctrl E.
Needless to say my mapping has changed to avoid possible combinations and embarrassment...what a palava

The drivers and the dlls run smooth on mine....thanks Dave

Lol, all the very best m8

That's a typical shot of him...he's only happy when he's out running in the fields or swimming in the sea/lakes
-
Dunno, its news to me too. Apparently its an 1100cc V-twin with the engine along the frame Ducati-style. Exhaust looks neat, it's box shaped and sits below the engine - no shiny sllencer/bean can.

Cheers m8
Typical, I knew it was a bad move putting that last shot up...she's BOUND to get all the attention!!!
-
Not me, my hound....realisation that he's no longer gonna get the attention now that the bike's back on the road (already caught him c@@ping near it - didn't realise when I took the picture)!!
It's a March 2000 Triumph Sprint RS and has a 3 cylinder 955cc fuel injected, liquid-cooled engine....
My brother took it away to do some bits and bobs on it and brought it back this morning. For those into bikes he's buying himself a KTM RC8, only just being introduced over here, pictured below...and behind the....ummmm....lady

Many Happy Returns Akula

Lol, certainly can't....

Fantastic....well done geezers. Same issue with 8800GTX, spent a good part of last night trying different settings - will now disappear for more firtling (wifey and daughter out clothes shopping)....yeehah

Happy Birthday m8
-
That's almost a word for word account of what I went through OT - frustrating to say the very least.......good luck, I really hope it works for you (not being sarcy - genuinely!!).

I had that iussue with BT - they were blaming my pooters and would NOT admit it was their antiquated equipment that couldn't cope. A frustrating few months that resulted in both Homehubs (1 replacement) being slung into a corner and us returning to a faultless, creamy smooth service from Telewest/Virgin. The BT engineer that visited eventually, and whom we refused to pay for, had no explanation for the useless service I was showing him. BT.....Bloody Tat.......

Have you spoken to BT m8, are they aware?
As an aside, and as support in other areas of your computer, are you running a maintenance programme? One like this http://www.tuneup-software.co.uk/produc ... utilities/ is very useful - download the trial version and let it do whatever. I have the full version and it's proven very useful - it optimises many things, including net connections.

Nice find GK - couldn't show that to some of my lads, the addage "Drive to Arrive" would be changed to "Bladder it to Ladder it"....

I am going to refrain from posting anything during the sensible few minutes I have....apart from now,that is.

SBD = Shipborne (Carrier-based) Bomber - Dive. A way of designating where it operates from, what it does and how it does it (not always used).
Other examples -
TB - Avenger, Torpedo/bomber
P51 - Pursuit/Patrol, as in fighter/interceptor, as opposed to
PBY - Patrol/Bomber/Consolidated(Y = designation for manufacturer)
Interesting stuff
You, XP and SP3

Now...I installed sp3 via Windows manual update 2 days ago smoothly with no hitches and have noticed the following:
I have an icon for an 'A' floppy drive now - didn't have one before
I don't get the date displayed now when I cover the time in the taskbar with the pointer 'arrow'
Some DVDs now stutter - may try an Nvidia driver reinstall
Using FRAPS, vsync off and the Black Death, sp2 was Min 21, Max 103, Avg 58. sp3 is Min 22, Max 171, Avg 69. I haven't altered anything else.
Mixed feelings with this, but generally fine.
