its feels great wearing the shirt, thats how we meet the 85th, they stopped us as they recognised the name from the ubi forums. we had another guy

thats great zooley. We will give you a meeting point and time near the date, i expect phone nos will be dished out as well so we can find each other.. it will be really good to meet another dog in the flesh.

perhaps the club could say thats where the centre forward gets his lightning pace from.....

Looks like we have lured another lost soul from the wilderness....... Stick around Sulky, enjoy what the dogz have to offer and we will soon get you a "DD_" infront of your call sign. It was nice talking to you and you seem like you would fit in just right, and of course if any of us go near the BBMF, its good to know we have a man on the inside.. I look forward to flying with you agian soon. Cheers Friar

Squawk should know the answer....a little bird told me....am i making a tit of myself....i heard it was a good feature, I've been raven about it....and crowing about it.....a friend of mine dunit as well.....time to go the vultures are starting to circle...

an interesting thread as i am i the same boat, its friday evening, the wife is out and i am about to hit the supply shops drawing up a kit list...............

"..surley you all have pooed your pants at some point........well there was that time when I was in the "The Downed Pilot" when I had been drinking too many pints of Spitfire and I had to pay a visit to the Rest Room (editor:put in for our American friends, for the UK bretheren, insert "Bog") and whilst standing there enjoying the moment and reading some interesting graffiti, I was surprised to find two pilots from the 69th Gay And Proud Squadron standing either side of me...

thanks for that sid, they seem to have good testimonials on the site but you never can tell, a solid recomendation from someone who has used a company is priceless.

how about this one I have just tracked down...Your thoughts please gentlemen..... Supplier

as a starting point I looked at those supplied by dell

what would you guys say to this.... intel 2 quad core q8200 processor 2.33ghz 4mb cache 1333mhz fsb vista home premium 32bit sp1 4gb 800mhz ddr2 23" widescreen hd monitor 500gb hard drive 256mb ati radeon hd 3650 graphics dvd +/- rw integrated 7.1 channel high def audio your thoughts please......

Thats great news chaps, well done, it will be great to meet you.

what about choice of OS... stick with xp pro or go the vista route, if so which flavour...home, home prem, 32bit, 64 bit ?.. I can this developing into a confusing thread..........

Yesterday, whilst disscussing the family financial situation and other thinks, I happened to comment to my wife about the age of our system and the problems we have been having (blue screens and freezes, also the printer is starting to die) and that I may have to do a re, ref, (come on friar you can say it, deep breath now......) reformat, there, I said it!, bless her cotten socks she says "could you get a new one?", "oh" says me, "I suppose we could.........." So the point of this rambling post is, do any of the UK guys know of any good packages / can offer a good reccomendations to a machine/package that would give me a new flat screen (of decent size), printer, and good machine for gaming, before I start trawling the net.....oh, and the budget £1000!!

we've thought about that before Gec, but then we have the trouble of distributing the tickets, arranging funds transfers etc, so its best we just get our own ticket.

@deskpilot, the dogz will be on parade at the show on saturday. let us know if you are going on that day and will arrange a meet point for all those that want to meet and greet us (autographs can be arranged, and if you ask nicely I may have some pictures of the Sisters)

I've downloaded the software but had trouble getting the manual, which i want to read first.......

no m8 go ahead, i actually gave up on it. i use 3 settings of a view button now

amen to that!

it would appear not Crash, my version has been around for quite a while and definatly is not a beta

no, had a look, and nothing about the 3d image in my version

i dont believe so but you have made me go and look now......I'm running version 6.0.10.7

negative on the sst software. the latest version of the sst software generates a .pr0 extension and is not compatable with the previous version that has the 3d image. The latest version only has a table and NO graphic image. If you migrate from the 3d image version to the the latest one, you WILL have to remap you keys on the x52. Friar

I certainly could'nt, so you will have to count me out.

There is also paint.net which is also free and does layers
