Damn, that is a big-ass piece of machinery. It's funny, I remember you expressing concern about repair bills, when you bought (or should I say stole) the thing. Oh well, I guess it's just one more installment towards the cost of having your own 200 acre sandbox. Have fun Bud.

You guys do realize anyone can read this.......right?

Training, preparation, situational awareness = no need for body bags today. Nice work mate, I wish you well in the ensuing cleanup, and second the nomination for Safety Officer.

Damn, I was hoping to avoid spending anymore money right now.........

I've seen little (if any) distortion in screen shots of the thing being used correctly. I have an old school monitor so I only run it at 105 degrees, but even at that level, it really opens up the view, and allows for much easier takeoffs and landings, and it's especially nice for formation flying. I should think that 120-130 degrees would be ideal for a widescreen (and that's what San recommends), and this can be had with little or no distortion. 120-130 degrees should closely approximate a natural field of view (not accounting for peripheral vision). As for "seeing more", isn't that the whole point? If anyone wants to constrain themselves to some arbitrary limits on their field of view, then they can be my guest, but if I can get closer to what I can naturally see in real life, then I'm all for it. If there was anything unrealistic about it (when used properly), I wouldn't use it.

Granny aid? GRANNY AID? I got your granny aid right here! Don't make me come over there and give you a totally vengeful noogie. Seriously dude, how is a tool that allows you to have a more realistic field of view a granny aid? Especially with a wide screen, it's practically a requirement, seeing as the game doesn't support wide screens properly and gives you a totally borked perspective on the world. I'll certainly grant that the thing is a total pain in the ass to get set up, but it does work well when it is set up properly. (at least as well as track IR). All the pictures of distorted perspectives and random see-through airplane parts are examples of this thing not being used correctly, and are only useful as such.

Sweet, you get a piece of France without all those annoying French people.

Me late too! Happy B'day anyhoo.

I bet he was really good at that carnival game where you shoot the red star out of the target.

I'm having trouble even managing a yawn.

I'll have to give that a go Shadrach, I've never had luck using the z axis in conjunction with San's . LOLs, Bat. I don't think I've ever been quoted in someone else's sig before. I'm honored, and I can feel my ego inflating already.

Don't want to get on the pointy end of that stick!

Yeah, he's one of my favorites. Nothing like a crazy one-eyed MG42 wielding Canuck kicking down your door to ruin your evening if your a Nazi just tryin' to chill with a French babe.

Yes, you heard what I said. This site contains stories of all sorts of badassery. If your offended by neck stabbing, skull crushing, ass kicking or exquisitely foul language, including talk of highly polished gigantic titanium balls, then this site should be avoided at all costs. http://www.badassoftheweek.com

I play with the War-Hawks on monday nights, perhaps that would work for you also Toad? I should have mentioned the night, yes I was thinking of a DD Rise of Flight night on the weekend. I still have to purchase it, but I've been thinking of that, so count me in as I'm available. I sure miss that little Fokker.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing.

Indeed.

Is there enough draft for a boot that size up to St Louis?

I'm glad to see you back buddy. I'll get that damn disk to you much faster at the next major change. (which I believe is coming soon) Trust me.

I like it a lot. Thanks for all your hard work Rog, it is much appreciated.

I just wanted to point out Kimosabi, that this may not be the best place to inquire what a normal anything would do, let alone normal pilot. There just ain't a whole lot of normal going on here.

Damn, that's and awful mess. Thank goodness it wasn't full of skank ho, now that would be a disaster.

Yeah, what he said! (And that was a hell of a fight, I needed a rest after that one)

I love to see history remembered. It needs to be done soon, as few under the age of thirty even know what history is.

LOL, people are always asking me to explain the dinosaurs. This is perfect. Thanks mate.
