  7. Hey Everyone, I'm Jake.

    Good to hear Zip (or Jake). I joined the dogz when I was 18, been here ever since, a bunch of extraordinarily kind and entertaining fellows.

    Hopefully they will be good influence of you. I started playing flight sims when I was about 5, and started playing online when I was 15. Good luck to you. All I can recommend to you is to keep your interest up and keep a keen ear. You will learn a lot from the dogz.

    They truly represent the very best in an online squad, ranging from limitless compassion to the utmost of tolerance, with a bottomless font of knowledge.

  12. Are All British Pubs Like This?

    All I remember from TGIs in Britain was the fairly decent hamburgers and steaks, but they really couldn't fix up a decent martini or old fashioned worth a damn. Of course it could be due to the quality of that particular barstaff. Good burgers at times, and the décor was quite agreeable, albeit slightly tacky.

  14. P40 Found In The Sahara

    They likely just saw it as a hunk of metal with a few thousands rounds of ammo in it, with very little respect for the aircraft or its historical significance. A bit like if we should dig up a German u-boat and plunder it for the canned goods. It may be a translation problem, but they refer to it as treasure, not a historical artefact or an archaeological find.

    The historian in me cringed slightly at their manhandling of it. If I may use my favourite Indiana Jones quotes, "It belongs in a museum"

    But yes BA, quite uncivilised.

    update, looks like the troglodytes are scavenging it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9LsK74J_W0&feature=player_embedded#!

    I get the part of disarming it, but it looks a bit heavy handed.

    Way to preserve history chaps.

    Seems like it was in Egypt Trib, the video description is "

    I found the treasure

    :)) Al Wadi al Jadid Desert / Egypt 2012.03 - JP-Poland - SPITFIRE of the Second World War ( Propably there was battle near Al-Alamajn - 1942 .... Egyptian army took the ammo from a plane"

    I hope so too, shame they did not take pictures of the serial number or markings. If they did, it would be very easy to find the pilot and whether he managed to walk home. Although given the unspoiled nature of the find, it being anywhere close to settlements is unlikely. It would appear the pilot left the aircraft after landing.

    I do not quite understand why the prophub would be seperated from the rest of the plane though.

  23. Bms 4 For Falcon 4

    in DCS Series

    Posted

    I have recently been spending a little time in Benchmark sims mod for Falcon 4. I must say, I am quite enjoying it. It has some of the best avionics I have seen in a game, on par with DCS A10, but much easier to learn. The startup procedure is really easy to get going. All you need is an old falcon 4 disc, or you get obtain one less than legally (I can point you in the general direction) You can do everything from hunting SAMs, to moving mud with GBUs, and dogfighting mig29s at the speed of sound. I really recommend it, you can get it up and running in a very short time.

    Anyone interested?

  25. A Sky Much Further

    Farther is used for physical distances, while further is more figurative or metaphorical.

    Ex. "The line must be drawn here, this far, no further"

    "The petrol station is farther from the shop than the bakery"

    Although as a caveat, there are no grammatical consensus on the two adverbs.
