I second Dave's thanks. Excellent work Glenn. Lag was an issue, but could have as likely been caused by over ambitious settings on client PC's, lowering the resolution may well help for future events. Flak is a major contributor...... A great night, time passed amazingly quickly and great to see the event so well supported by both the DD's and the HH's. ~S!~ to all!

Good old Ethereal. So the PC was a Zombie? Sods...

@JensenPark: http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist ... sklist.htm Looks pretty useful.

If you email me your CH profiles I will gladly take a look. I have Pro throttle, Quad Throttle and Pro Pedals coupled with a MSFFB2 stick. I can very likely create the profiles for you that you will be able to use and print using the CH map printing utility

Sged, I don't think you will find them in stores....I could be wrong. V3 can be expanded with a paid add-on for the extra degrees (lean/tilt/elevate). V3 will more than fit your requirements, I don't know what the price difference between 3 and 4 for is, but if I were buying one now I'd go for V4. But I'm happy with my V3 and it's vector expansion I use a track IR hat with the vector clip, it has 3 reflectors arranged in a triangular array. White LED is a very good idea! A powered USB hub is easiest, a pci add-in card is best.

I don't think it has been updated, last time I used it to 'recover/convert' an on line mission it barfed. Could be down to the nut that was loose 'twixt keyboard and chair though....

Ok Angus, I'll put together a list for you, I'll compile it from the Staples online listing if they have one Does Dawn's MAC have an Airport wireless adapter too, or will you need to get a linksys/netgear/whatever adapter for that too? Feel free to nag me too, by email if you wish, in view of your expected connection date. I should find time to do this by end of UK play on Monday as I have sod all else to do apart from re-discovering my wife Jane

Firstly: Will it be cable or ADSL? I recommend Linksys routers/adsl modem/routers as they have a good company behind them (Cisco) and work well. You need to consider the range, how far from the cable/ADSL connection will your gaming PC be? As it's an older house you need to be mindful of signal degradation through the walls, and any extensions or arches that have been put in will be steel reinforced concrete lintels or RSJ beams. These will have an adverse effect on signal range too. On the PC end you need to buy a USB 2.0 wireless adapter, preferably one with a cable that is designed for a desktop (as opposed to a laptop which tend to resemble a pen drive). You have flexibility with the placement of these adapters and can therefore optimise your signal. An example is my sons adapter (a netgear one) if I lower it two feet the signal goes from poor (6Mbs) to excellent (24+Mbs)...just two feet closer to the router downstairs can make a huge difference! Generally it is best to buy stuff from a single manufacturer, so all Linksys for instance. However if someone has found particular models work well together than that will work for you too. Once the hardware is installed and the network is working you then need to lock it down from a security point of view: 1. Disable SSID broadcast after changing it from manufacturers default. 2. Enable WEP or WPA. 3. Implement MAC filtering so only pre-defined clients are allowed access to your network. I can put together a shopping list for you, and based upon that a guide to setting it all up if you want

I'm in and will 'balance' - no preference either way

Very good Waldo, 'so maneuverable you can fly up your own ass'. His final comment 'it's a f*cked up war' and the 'official translation' was a peach! Thanks for the effort in conversion and posting mate

Thought he'd gone quiet!

I had to contribute too This thread is well worth a read, some wicked humour out there Sorry Beebop, I know you posted these screenshots and photos of your rig on our private forums, with strict instructions they should not be circulated, but I felt it was in the communities interest to post one of your non-photoshopped screenies: Your missus posted this too, now I know it's only a 12th of your system:

Bumpage time methinks

Best read I've had in a while. Granted all the other stuff I've been reading is technical white papers extorting the merits of one particular vendor over the inferior offerings of their competitors......and it was stuff I don't give a rats arse about........ Bloody good read mate, well done!

Great response! And well followed up too I too had a great laugh, for some reason I enjoyed seeing Targ getting some egg on his face :twisted:

The postimage that now fails is a free service, I have problems getting to see the full size images that are posted... Alternative is to get a photobucket account. Upload the image there and you can then copy and paste the [img=link to source of photo] link they will create for you. Once you have photos uploaded you can also select them by 'tick boxing' then click the generate code link/button - this has the advantage of giving you the option of also creating thumb nails too, so long as you stick with the [img]...[/img format. Post back if you need any more info.

http://www.naturalpoint.com They are the makers. http://www.edimensional.com are the UK/Europe distributors, you can buy it on line from them

Nice, very nice TY sir, and your weather looks great, we just had a hail storm ...!

If you Purse their snatches you may have more success ..... :roll: :twisted:

Bloody hell mate, that was both quick and good! Thank you m'lord

Cool indeed Who will be the first to generate a comic out of them though?

I'll look into the upload issue tomorrow, been some permission changes due to an update by the hosting company. Rather than do a quick 'n dirty 'write by world' fix I need to work out how to change the scripts and retain security.

Pencil me in, tentatively I may be re-employed by then and it could be a long commute, however if I am still 'resting' then I up for whichever side needs balancing as I have no preference for Axis or Allied.

Hi Mr. VT. Apologies to you, I still owe you a talk-through to get your VIA AGP fixed. When will be good for you to link up with me on MSN, or TS if you don't have MSN?
