Friar

Microsoft sidewinder steering wheel and pedals now available! Recently refurbished by Jabo this wheel has been great for me playing Assetto Corsa (it will be for you too, go on you know you want to, this is the only approved "other game" by the Priory other than IL2/Clod of course) Get Assetto Corsa and you too can be thrashing round famous racing circuits in no time just for the cost of the postage And incase you are wondering why I am passing it on, I am not giving up on the game, the green eyed monster came to visit and I wanted what the other boys had so I have upgraded to fit the category of "all the gear and no idea" Friar

It was flying through blind panic of getting lost........

Can I have a mossie along side Bluebear please I need a shirt tail to hang on to........

Hi chaps Just wanted to say sorry for not being around much recently. Work has been tough plus Heather has needed to get an important assignment done for college for which she needed the computer so her requirements had to come first Hopefully I will be able to get more stick time soon Seeing the video bb posted makes me miss you guys all the more Keep the faith and uk chaps check out the daily mail web site for the chance to win a flight in a spitfire over channel fron Sussex Friar

Free to a good home (for the cost of postage).... Nvidia GTX 460 Sonic 1024m GDDR5 258B Dual-DVI HDMI CRT (has added second fan) This card has seen active service for both myself and Painless and has never given any problems.

As a numpty to this that was an excellent find and post OD. Thank you.

I used PC Specialist and have had not problems, even upgraded bits myself.

Thanks to FT for helping me get a bit more sorted and to Fen for the advice. Managed to make a number of flights and am now starting to get a grp on the settings.

Salute Guys, many happy return to one and all.

how do you get a tablet to work with your pc?

Any gadget fans - check this ..watch to the end..

For anyone that is interested in driving simms I suggest you check out Assetto Corsa. It has been availible through steam for quite a while under the "Early Adapter" option (i.e a development version with regular updates) The final v1.0 (retail product) is rumoured to be VERY close some are saying 15th October Please see the below link for an interview with the co-founder and Senior developer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqo_SDyWuqM#t=1500

There are OTHER Simms lol! Only joking about the flying of course

psst...no one tell OD that we are not flying any more..... great work OD

HI Pook, Thanks for the spelling spot It is awarded to those that served on the Russian Convoys. He was in the Royal Navy

Some of you may remember quite a while back I said that I was going to try and get a medal for my Dad for his service during the war, well today the MOD came through....Tuck CH JX558372 Awarded The Arctic Star Medal Award001.pdf Medal Award002.pdf Medal Award003.pdf

I think that would be a fun idea. If we could get a stand for free then why not.....lets put a date in the diary and see who is up for it? Our costs? New t-shirts A banner / leaflets Lan equipment?

I have used zone alarm internet suite for many years and never had an issue although my kids were severely warned that I would cut off their hands if they down load any thing iffy and always checked with me first so I think that helped as we'll

Just thought I'd put up a couple of pictures from my recent day out in London with Mrs Friar The poppies are all ceramic and are at the Tower of London The A380 simulator was fun (I was rubbish!)

wow FT...hope you dont make the mistake of building in the shed and then can not get it out!

oh yes the statue of liberty - if you are not bothered about going actually up to it you can take the staton island ferry for free - not much to do when you get there except come back but if it is sunny its a nice way to spend 90 minutes or so and it gives great picture oportunities of the statue and tyhe new york sky line form the harbour my brother went round the imigration museum and he said that was really interesting

Hi Dave, I went there with the wife for a long weekend for our twentith wedding anniversary. I guess you have booked flights and hotel but if not check out the Metro Hotel, which was just round the corner from the Empire State Building, has a roof top bar, is only about 10 stories.(was rated as punching above its weight star wise when we went) You also got breakfast included which a lot of New york hotels dont giive you. We booked through british airways as a flight and hotel package you can walk from ground zero to times square in a couple of hours make a google map and put pins in the places you want to visit, that helps find a hotel (if not done already, if you have it will still help) go into newark, less busy than jfk do the empire state building early in the day, less busy would recommend the city bus tours early in your stay as it then gives you an idea of where things are bloomindales and fifth avenue for shops go vist grand central station, chrysler building you can no go up it as it is a working offic / apparment block but the 30's architecture is great (and it is an in and out visit so wont bore the kids) if you hotel is within striking distance of a train station get the train from the airport as the roads do get packed, not good on a ticking meter and the fair was cheap see times square at night, it is busy 24/7 i will try and dig out the other stuff i had, i would definatly like to go back.....

Yeh, another of the lost flock comes back to the fold! Welcome back will be good to have you in the air with us again.
