  1. Harlequin Romance, 2014 Version He grasped me firmly, but gently, just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone. He approached me soundlessly from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear, "Just relax." Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing and moving upward along my calves, slowly but steadily, my breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so experienced, so sure. When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine. Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant. This is a man, I thought, a man used to taking charge. A man not used to taking 'No' for an answer. A man who would tell me what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say: "Okay ma'am, you can board your flight now
  2. A suggestion...leave airspeed to the left of the artificial horizon and put the altimeter to the right. Then the rate of climb directly below the altimeter with the DG below the horizon. You have the basic T in a standard instrument panel. Usually the RMI went directly below the airspeed indicator.
  3. When I was young I decided to go to Medical School. At the entrance exam we were asked to rearrange the letters PNEIS and form the name of an important human body part which is most useful when erect. Those who said SPINE are doctors today. The rest of us are retired pilots sending jokes by email....
  4. I got a set in June, replaced my CH pedals. Wonderfully precise set of pedals, easy to set up and Milan is available to answer any questions you may have. He makes sure you have the latest firmware if he makes any improvements so I'm really pleased with these pedals and his support.
  5. I don't know if anyone is interested but here is a post about how to convert missions to coop in COD. http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7029
  6. Update on Warthog....wow So far I've just been doing DX setup in the sims which seems to be pretty simple to accomplish. I also got the TM Cougar MFD's which are very simple plug and play setup's and give me another 56 buttons. In DCS A-10 the MFD's are assigned as your MFD function in the sim. So then the problem became setting up a template to show the switch/button commands. Target software has a template that you can build but it prints out pretty small. With CH someone make a pdf format that you can type and print from but you cannot save the individual profile. I found some Warthog & MFD templates that I downloaded and saved as Word documents that I have set to type on top of the template. Here are the blanks and some I've done for COD. If you open these and they look funky just enable editing.

  7. Sure makes you want to learn the A10.
  8. What a nice setup. I've just started reading up on Target and programming the warthog. If I come up with anything other than DX I'll be sure and send you a copy.
  9. I'll be up and running with DCS shortly and would certainly join in any get togethers.
  10. As most are aware I had (ya right) to get a new computer due to a lightning strike. So I order a computer from the place I bought my last machine. It was IBUYPOWER, a gaming computer builder that I had used before for my previous system. It had a lot of positive reviews and my old computer ran without a seconds trouble...ever. So I used them again for the replacement. After getting some recommendations from you guys I got the configuration I wanted. I had to wait some extra time because I chose the 980 video card and they had to wait for another shipment to arrive. I got the computer on 10/6 and took it to a computer tech I know here in town to have him set it up and install windows. He also tried to save some files from my old machine. In the meantime I had decided to change from CH hotas to Warthog hotas. I get the computer home the next day and plug in everything except the warthog, mouse, keyboard, TrackIR, USB headset, & MFG Rudders. The computer hangs up on the boot up. I plug in just the mouse and keyboard....still hands. I plug in just the mouse and it boots. After boot up I start plugging in the above items and each one shows up in the device window...no problem. I reboot...hang. Again boot on mouse. I can sometimes get it to boot with the keyboard but then it doesn't see all the memory. I have 16 and it would boot with 8, sometimes 12. Now I'm wondering if the culprit might be the keyboard as it was connected to the old computer when it was hit by the lightning. This is a Sunday and I go out to try to find a wired keyboard...no luck. In the mean time I order a new Corsair keyboard. I take the computer in to my tech guy on Monday and he plugs in his mouse and keyboard and everything works fine...hmmmm. I bring it back home and it boots up fine then when I reboot it's missing ram again. If I add back the other usb items it hangs on boot up....dang. Finally on Tuesday I call the IBUYPOWER tech support and the 1st person suggest that my problem is with a usb device. I keep trying different combination all to no avail. I call back the tech support and get a different person. He has me checking the bios and then suggest I update the bios. I do that...found it to be really simple with this mb. Reboot the computer with just mouse and keyboard...everything is normal...hmmmm. Start plugging usb items back and and rebooting...normal. I now install the drivers for the warthog, reboot, and plug in the warthog...it works. Sweet baby Jesus. I finally shut down for the evening. Start the next day...hang. Crap on a stick. I no longer have the missing ram problems but I cannot boot with everything plugged in to the usb ports. I've done a lot of research about the warthog and find that it may have issues with usb 3.0. Once I've booted I can plug them in and they work just fine. In the meantime I've picked up another problem...Unknow Device, No Driver Installed. How the hell do you find a driver for a device if you don't know what it is...double crap on a stick. After much searching and many tech forum boards I get the "parent" id and find a forum that addressed that id. Someone posted a driver. I download said driver and direct the unknown device to look in that folder and voila...it works. I'm searching my mb manufacturer web for drivers for my mb. I find an intel usb controller driver. I download and run...bad move on my part. It failed during setup and everything goes dark. I'm thinking I just porked the mb. I'm able to reboot with mouse and kb. I try to restore the computer to a previous point before the driver but it won't restore. I now have a new unknown device error with a lot of new numbers. I can get nowhere in finding the needed driver. But I find this program called Driver Agent. It will check your computer for free but you have to subscribe to be able to use the files it finds. I run it and it says it can fix the device and several other out of date drivers. I pay for the subscription and use the drivers it found. It worked, money well spent as far as I'm concerned. I reconnect everything including the warthog. I find that Windows will hand on the startup. If I reset and restart Windows starts normally and everything is working just fine. So that was the state I was in starting today. I then remember in my old computer I had a usb 2.0 PCIe card. I got it and plugged it into my new computer. I then put the warthog throttle and joystick on that card and rebooted. Everything worked normally. Have tried several reboots and each time is normal...Double Sweet baby Jesus. So now I've gone into areas of computing I don't ever want to have to deal with again. I'll see in the long run if this machine works as well as the last one. Now I just have set up all my controls again.
  11. I've got a lot of experience with the old Foxy programming...not sure how close this will be though.
  12. I just got a new warthog. Anything I should be aware of and do you use Target for programming? I've also seen where plugging the warthog into usb 3.0 may cause some problems, anyone have any experience with this. My new MB has 10 usb 3.0 plugs.
  13. Here are some screen shots between present day DCS world and the upcoming 2.0 edge release. https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/10257005_10154689683400341_2971940017679939330_n.jpg?oh=d3d7328a1b7a0f487427e722a7028afd&oe=548CB2FB&__gda__=1422561538_306c026fa5ab0cf3825fa6f417c18e55
