superb Id love to go there one day

I bought an acer laptop for my 12 yr old son last year and my 75 yr old father and both are very happy so Im happy to recommend the brand, what model depends on how much you want to pay and what you use them for

Can you not get an upgrade disc ? That's what i used to upgrade from xp. They are cheaper than full retail and you can probably can get discount for students.

Hi dt good to see you around, hope we can get together online sometime S.

An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight suit and leather jacket and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, an attractive young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, 'Are you a real pilot?' He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life flying planes, first Stearman's, then the early Grummans... flew a Wildcat and Corsair in WWII, and later in the Korean conflict, Banshees and Cougars. I've taught more than 260 people to fly and given rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot, and you, what are you? She said, 'I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.' The two sat sipping in silence. A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked: "are you a real pilot?" He replied, 'WELL! I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian.'

You may remember a while back I did a 1/48 FW190 Dora , well I was never happy with this so stripped it back and rebuilt and repainted it along with a new friend The rebuilt one is the Fw 190 D-9 “Red3”, of JV 44, flown by Hptm. Waldemar Wübke Full build here, http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75490 Im pretty happy with these

Im not really playing much but saw this and it seemed to work on a quick test - might help others here http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26434

thanks for this - Ill give it a go

just got a mini update through steam - seems to be an improvement but not tested much

Voted, very nice skins

RIP Jimmy Ill miss you S Dave

lookimg good are you sure the whip arial isnt a modern fitment to comply with new regs ? if you still want one you could try a bristle from a paintbrush

Make sure you do not have any programs running automatic updates in the background e.g. for windows, antivirus etc I take it you are directly connected to a router and not using wi-fi ? Wi-FI is really poor. Are you in a single property or a block of flats with a communal phone line? More users are worse If you are in a single user house then there is not much you can do about your ping apart from contact your isp provider. To check where the problem lies use pingplotter http://www.pingplotter.com/freeware.html This shows you all the hops or connections. It should slowly increase but if one server is the cause then that will show up as a large jump. Your isp can only take action if the large jump is the first connection to your network, this is called the BAM server If your largest numbers are here then contact your ISP provider with the evidence IF your are through a telephone network you could try this http://www.shop.bt.com/products/bt-iplate---bt-broadband-accelerator-58LT.html If you phone your ISP helpdesk; 1) He will probably tell you to power off your modem fully and reconnect, your modem will search for the lowest BAM, this might help 2) He will ask how many users are on line in your house and ask you to make sure they are not connected 3) He will also ask how many phone connections you have, do you have splittters installed,do you have your filters installed correctly,he may get you to try taking all other phones out and connecting to main socket IF you are from UK he may blame BT and their network and ask you to get in touch with them to check your connection between house and exchange you may want to try steps 1) 2) and 3) above and get figures for each off pingplotter before phoning- the more evidence you have pointing to your isp the better If you are on cable then its down to your ISP hope this helps

I havnt fired up CoD in a while but with the new nvidea drivers I thought Id give it a go. with gamebooster running and new drivers the game was pretty smooth, I did the free flight over england and london sightseeing and whereas in the past I got slowdowns and pauses, tonight was pretty smooth. around 35fps free flight and 25 over london , a big improvement. There is still a long way to go and much to fix but it was at least playable tonight. I hope that the next patch starts to kick off some more improvements and get us towwards where it should have been on release.

here are my kits in the ikea cabinet, on top is a 1/32 me 109 and 1/48 phantom , all others are 1/48 so while the single props 1/32 might fit I doubt the twins will

really nicely done - good to see the youngsters getting into the hobby

and he aint working 12 hour nightshifts mate ......... Makes you wonder sometimes who is the idiot , he is raking it in and probably having the time of his life reminds me of the George Best quote "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered." there are times that has a certain appeal

Here is my latest, the first time I have tried rigging other pictures and links to build here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75039&st=0#entry823487

S Jim You created a fine group. You opened it up to all and made everyone welcome. There were no airs and graces just good comradeship. Even when I left the group you were always kind and graceous in our correspondance and when talking on air. I regret missing the chance to see you when you visited Scotland but unfortunatly it wasnt to be, Im sure we would have shared a wee dram and had a good craic. Heartfelt best wishes from your old country Dave

here are some quick test results- using black death tracks- vsync on IL2 46 run at 1280* 960 AV 48 min 14 +Gameboost AV 53 min 18 UP3 run at 1280+960 AV 51 min 6 +gameboost AV 51 min 14 CoD run at 1280*1024 AV 25 min 0 +gameboost AV 27 min 2 so a slight improvement in numbers but as I said in the last post the perception while playing the more intense games CoD and RoF is that they are smoother hope this helps

Ill do some real testing later - my machine is Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.110408-1633) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM Page File: 2100MB used, 6086MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: Using System DPI System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.01.7600.16385 64bit Unicode Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 All I know for definate was that I got micro stutters on CoD and ROF( especially when firing guns) and they were gone last night. I havnt done extensive tests , just one or two flights in each but it was very noticable to me. I havnt had any problems with IL2 for years, I run with vsync on and get steady fps

Picked this tip up from UBI forum and this certainly helps my games , ROF and CoD both run markidly better http://game-booster.en.softonic.com/ I was so impressed I bought the premium version

how it should be

I have just finished this and would really recommend it- its comming out in paperback soon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gun-Button-Fire-Hurricane-Dramatic/dp/1445605104/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310981256&sr=1-2 I have read many many autobiographies and this is the best IMHO , great accounts of flying the hurricane and his encounters with the luftwaffe during the BOB.

Is that the new release ? meant to be very good, there are several in build and final kits of this here http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?act=idx e.g http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72529&st=0 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74149 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74164 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74110 great for tips and hints for your build, but be warned some of these guys are every bit as "dedicated" as some of those on the zoo build it for yourself and enjoy it !!!
