LOL...that never works Crash...thanks for the ideas though guys...lol B.

After installing over 4.09 everything works fine....one more question.How do you start the engine in a 109?...LOL B.

I was wondering if I needed to instal it over 4.09...now I know.I'l give it a try. thx B.

....Who's on first? Hey is Canada in this tournament? B.

Ah,nevermind, I was looking in the wrong place...installed 2.01 over 2.0.Game crashes to desktop at 60%.I'll read up on this in the tutorials later when I have more time. B.

HMM, After downloading 2.01 using bit torrent,it seems I don't have the ultapack 2.01 client exe thingy.I read Pappy's tutorial,but must have missed something. suggestions anyone? B.

Well, After a somewhat confusing read-thru of a bunch of material,I'm currently downloading Utra 2.01...only 3 hrs to go!! B.

Hi guys, Decided it's time to get in the cockpit and learn how to fly again.Couple of questions though. Can someone point me where I can get the DD's server info for TS3? What's the standard DD mod pack nowadays? Thanks B.

@ Painless, That diagram is pretty much an exact replica of what we do over here.Note how the truck is parked on an angle,INSIDE the taper,(as we call it) and the work zone is coned out,down the center line,and then tapered back to the shoulder. B.

Hi guys, The female driver was unhurt as well.A lot of traffic control companies around here require employees to use their own vehicles.It is a condition of employment.My company,because I carry signs and other equipment,pay the extra cost for the extra insurance to be covered as a work vehicle.I also get travel time,and a gas allowance of 40cents per klick.as well as a higher rate of pay. On a side note I quit this company today.I now will work for another outfit,that will supply me with a company truck I start on Mon.May.10.Never again will I use my personal truck for this sort of work.In fact,I'm thinking about ending my traffic control careare in the near future. @ Toad...signage and distances,length of tapers,lane closure lengths are all done according to the posted hwy speed.The higher the speed,the longer the distances are for your set up.Although I have these memorized,I keep my Traffic Control Manual (written by the Ministry of Highways in B.C.) in my truck as a reference if I need it for different types of work zone set ups,in different situations. Tomorrow I meet with my insurance adjuster,to discuss stuff concerning my truck.....then I might go shopping for another one! B.

Hi Guys, Haven't been around for awhile,been working lots,until the other day. Sat.May 1,at 9:34 am my truck was hit by a car in our work zone.Everyone is ok,which I guess is the important thing.But my nice big bueatiful truck is Totalled,thanks to the stupidity of a speeding driver,who was fiddiling with her phone.She was doing at least 70km,in our 50km workzone.She had her head down and drove right into my truck.which was the buffer vehicle for the work crew that had their boom truck parked 10m (30 ft) in front. The impact knocked my truck into the ditch,with only the driver side wheel still on the pavement.She hit the left rear quarterpanel,and tore the rear tire off,snapping and bending the axle.Her car bounced off,and slid sideways around the front end of my truck and scratched up the front bumper real good. If my truck hadn't of been there she would of drove right into the BIG boom truck and the Crew of 5 men who where around their truck. And,get this....we were all parked OFF the road!!,on the shoulder,1m (3ft) from the fog line,or white line as most people know it as.I had my hazard lights on and my rotating amber light that sits on the roof of my truck.As well as 3 cones or pylons on the line,beside my truck.Me and my 22 year old trainee had to jump out of the way of the car as it slid around the front end of my truck, because we were standing 10ft beside the front end,in a bit of a wide spot,which we would use as an escape route....we were LUCKY.....and we remebered our training in where to stand. I'll post some pics later.I have the week off so I can deal with all the stuff concerning this.The police said she was at fault and that my work zone set up (proper signage,distances and safe work plan) where all "textbook". ~S~ Lucky Bucky
