It was great to see so many of you show up yesterday. I think we counted 18 pilots at the high point in attendance. What I am about to say may spark some debate but I thought I should post my observations and get some other opinions. A couple of you remarked that you really enjoyed having so many pilots in the air. I am not sure I agree with that statement. 1. I saw a lot of warping as did others making shooting very difficult. A famous Scottish aviator who shall remain nameless was heard to say that he couldn't hit a barn door just before he left. 2. After several take off crashes following lengthy delays, I suggested to the host that he change the difficulty settings to air starts. That speeded the process up but take-offs IMHO are an essential part of the sim. 3. Chances of being killed or damaged jump considerably usually by a pilot you never even see. 4. Communication became difficult with several people talking over one another on TS. Dare I say it; some of chatter may have been unnecessary and distracting. 5. If you were killed early, it sure was a long wait until the next coop. I have always felt that the perfect number for coops is between 8 and 10 and wonder if we shouldn't have two hosts when we get that many players. Comments welcome.

Dang! Helen's PC has a hack copy of Windows on it and she is getting ominous messages from Microshaft saying" You may be a victim of a counterfeit version of Windows. Just click here and buy a legal copy."

How many home PC's can you install Windows XP on from the same product number? Or is it one pc per one licence?

Thank you Mr. Sloan sir. I now have a new gmail account.

Found my gmail account but can't remember the password. I was also unable to answer their skill testing questions such as "What was your first phone number?" Could you please look after another invite for me?

Thanks Rog. I thought that would be the case. Until their server got hacked I was able to get away with it but they must have blocked that hole after the hack. I can still access my High Speed FX email account and send emails by going in to their website via the Internet. This was how I checked emails when I was in the UK last year. But my address book is back in Thunderbird and there doesn't seem to be an option to import it. My contact at Packet Works is on holiday until July 24 although I am sure one of his minions could set up an email account for me. I thought you would enjoy seeing your name in my example. Just proves you read everything. Not sure I remember the details of my Gmail account but I will have a keek.

This is becoming a real pain. Here is what happens when I try to sent an email using Thunderbird. Keep in mind my email is still with Highspeedfx but my Internet is now with Packet Works. The forged IP is my new IP from Packet Works. Any suggestions B16?

Way to go Beebop. Well deserved.

Neither my computer or tower were effected. It was just my Internet Service provider's email server.

It is now Thursday evening and still screwed up. I can receive emails but not send. I saw your email Jensenpark but can't respond yet.

Yes Von Tonar. They have HP compatible cartridges. I thought I had included a link for you but it seems to have disappeared. So here it is. http://piloshop.ca/inkjetcartridges/cPa ... 02680.html

I have always been amazed at how expensive printer cartridges are. Usually up to $16.00 for a Canon colour. I did a websearch on printer inks and came up with a mail order place in Montreal. I am sure there are many others. Anyway, they advertised a Canon compatible printer ink for $2.69 a cartridge. Although I was a bit skeptical, I ordered a bunch of them for my printer and also for my wife's. They arrived within 10 days and they work just as well as the official Canon ones. A big saving.

If you are wondering why I am not responding to emails, my ISP's email server was hacked yesterday and is still down today. All emails in transit were lost. They hope to have it back up later today. Internet is now with another supplier so I can still host ok later today.

Nice piece of tail m8.

Ping Plotter is a free utility that allows you to trace the route from your computer to a website and record the results on a graph. It can be set to continuously ping any website and update the results. If you are having connection issues, it will help pinpoint where the problems occur and you can use it to baffle your Internet Service Provider and possibly yourself. Here is a snapshot of my pings to the Danger Dogz website. This graph shows no connection issues. All pings are in the green range (less than 200. there is a yellow and red range). It is easy to set up and interpret. Any questions, ask Rog. He knows all about this s***. You can get Ping Plotter Free here: http://www.pingplotter.com/download.html Just click on the freeware version right at the bottom of the page.

Have a great holiday lads.

What B25? What Jeep?

Just love dat crack!

HEY! I am part Portugese! GO PORTUGAL!! Broo-ha-HA! Hmmmm I wonder which part?

I am more than inclined to have you join the Danger Dogz flash. It would be great to have someone from Sweden in our group. Assuming none of the Danger Dogz has an objection (in which case they can send me a pm) you are hereby granted membership in the Danger Dogz. Welcome sir. I will ensure that you have access to the private areas on this Forum. Please let me have your email address so that we can let you know flight times and IP's etc. You can either send me a Forum Private message or email me at bg@dangerdogz.com Just as soon as you get patched up, you can fly with us. If you need any help with the patching process please let us know. You can probably patch right up 4.04m and we have a fix for you to get to 4.05m

As delta 7 says, we are currently full up. But if you could tell us a little bit about yourself, what time zone you are in, if you are patched up to 4.5m, type of connection . if you have Teamspeak and how long you have been flying FB, we will certainly give you consideration.

I think I have it installed.

Your wife has no hair!

I heard that Mr Painless sir.

Very nice video. I thought we might see more action shots but just a few clips at the end. That gunners weapon sure looks lethal.
