  1. Absolutely agree! Would it be too much trouble? @ JP: As I recall, in mission 1 of the GIAP SEOW, Rattler opened with one fighter and 4 Il2 kills!! Sadly, he appears more committed to his wife and children than to the DDz and has bowed out of this campaign... perhaps we should stage an intervention?
  2. Note to self: do not take plane after Brando's in coops
  3. And thanks for hosting last night, Logos! It was a pleasant surprise to find that a fellow dogz had set up a server.
  4. Notre-Dame Basilica is in the Vieux Port area, closer to Place-D'armes. That's likely the more accessible of the two options I gave you, depending on your hotel. Like BG said, most everyone in Montreal is bilingual so it shouldn't be a problem. Have a good time Couple of "Montreal" things you might want to eat: a smoked-meat sandwich and a "poutine" (pronounced "poo-teen"). Don't have both in the same meal or you may suffer a coronary
  5. Hey Erco, Montreal is my hometown- I don't live there anymore, but can give you a couple of suggestions. You can check out the "vieux port" (the old port of Montreal)- Get off at either Place-D'armes or Champs-de-mars and head south. The old port is the original city of Montreal built of fieldstone housing and narrow cobblestone streets- this is most accessible from Place-D'armes. The port proper has undergone a lot of renovation in the last few years and is perhaps best enjoyed in the summer, but I believe there are still alot of activities in the updated quays along the waterfront. Another option, if you like walking (and dress warmly) would be to take the #11 bus going West from Mont-Royal subway station up Mount-Royal. Get off at Lac des Castors (Beaver Lake). You can go ice skating there or continue past the ponds and head towards the lodge. There's an observation platform in front of the lodge which overlooks downtown and the St-Lawrence. If you feel in the mood for more walking you can double-back and take a path that winds down the south face of the mountain and ends up at the top of Peel Street. Go down Peel Street (look left and you'll see my alma mater, the Institute of Air and Space Law) to get to Sherbrooke St... find nearest bar on St-Catherine's and renew your anti-freeze level. For a true experience of Montreal, go to the Peel Pub at Peel and St-Catherine's and buy the cheapest plate of [gross] spaghetti anywhere- count the number of under-age [i.e., less than 18 yr old] patrons. There's no shortage of places to drink, from Crescent Street (4 streets west of Peel Street) in the St-Catherine area to Prince Arthur, just off Boulevard St-Laurent (St-Lawrence Boulevard, AKA "the Main")... If you have any specifics in mind let me know, and I'll try my best to answer, C_G
  6. Amazing condition considering the circumstances! Nice to hear that it's been given another lease on life.
  7. Wish I could have made it...[but didn't because your comment about lawyers hurt... deeply... I've filed a suit against you for mental and emotional harm and distress. I feel confident, and my psychiatrist agrees, that damages on the order of $4 million will help me recover]. What do the Dogz think of the AI mod? (assuming it was used)
  8. Hey Knight, I don't think this will help your "purple haze". But if you find your card is running a little hot, you can speed up its fan by following this: Originally Posted by bretware

  10. no, not the SEOW... this: Cold_Gambler you have 94 messages, 0 are new. Total time logged in: 10 days, 1 hours and 2 minutes. :o Ten days of my life spent poring over these forums?!? My wife must never learn of this!!
  11. Yep, don't be a stranger
  12. Whoa! that is weird!! In the eight years I've had IL2, I've never even heard of this problem!?!
  13. Happy Birthday, dude
  14. But .... some of us like hearing heavy breathing!
  15. LOL! Always nice to hear about Dogz' meets... as I recall, BG's henchmen left JP's liver as it apparently "wasn't worth the effort".
  16. Why, o why, can't they all just give peas a chance?
  17. Given that a first build, let alone beta testing, has yet to be announced I think March 2009 is highly unlikely
  18. Interesting that you place a Yellow 7 over the White 5- Was that part of the decal package or did you put it together for an accurate representation of that aircraft?
  19. I got 1079 (all tests)
  20. Hi Cuda, if you have the graphics power to run at higher resolutions with 4X AA and AF; a 24" will knock your socks off coming from a 16" CRT! I wouldn't worry about "blockiness". I went for a 25.5 inch ViewSonic and I'm glad I did- with TIR it's a real immersion booster. You'll want to look for a high refresh rate (5 ms and lower is good)... there's a useful website: http://www.digitalversus.com/duels.php?ty=6&ma1=36&mo1=245&p1=2334&ma2=48&mo2=305&p2=2944&ph=9 which allows for comparison of different monitors. I found it very useful.
  21. Downloading now... hopefully it will be on my HD by morning
