Guys, Been out of action and got behind in the mods and patches. I'm up to HSFX 6.0, but when I run the patch for 6.0.1, the start screen still shows V 6.0 So I'm not sure if I've got the patch correctly installed. Comments? Thanks. P

Nice! P

I think the engine is the Moki 215 5 -cylinder radial:

So I'm internet surfing in the man cave when I came across this gem and my wife is asking from upstairs what all the hilarity is about? Nothing, hon, nothing at all. You just wouldn't understand; it's a guy thing.

Nice!

Nice find, BluBear!

Pratt & Whitney R-4360-20 first start Below, you will find a great test stand video of the Pratt & Whitney 4360 Wasp engine introduced in 1944. The engine was a 28-cylinder four-row air cooled radial engine. Each row of pistons was slightly offset from the previous, forming a semi-helical arrangement to facilitate efficient airflow cooling of the successive rows of cylinders, with the spiraled cylinder setup inspiring the engine's "corncob" nickname. A mechanical supercharger geared at 6.374:1 ratio to engine speed provided forced induction, while thepropeller was geared at 0.375:1 so that the tips did not reach inefficient supersonic speeds. Initially, it developed 3,000 horsepower; later models gave 3,500 horsepower. The 4360 powered the B-50, successor to the B-29 and later the B-36. Although reliable in flight, the Wasp Major was maintenance-intensive. Improper starting technique could foul all 56 spark plugs, which would require hours to clean or replace. As with most piston aircraft engines of the era, the time between overhauls of the Wasp Major was about 600 hours when used in commercial service.

Yes, well believe it or not, I actually had an authentic Win XP install, but I like the Pirate Bay screensaver.

I'm not usually one to brag, but I'm kinda proud of the advanced machines coming out of the Pup Laboratory lately....

~S~ Painless. Personally, I would have been hyperventilating....
