  4. Ok Wednesday could be good....I'm an old git and the stress of additional brain functions after co-ops might be too much. Having said that, might bring me down and improve my temperament
  5. Well, to someone like me who is red/green blue/purple colour blind I don't necessarily see the colours, just the hues and an overall effect. I am imagining that those screenies are of Arthur's settings...there are many there to fiddle with and I have it there to play with. As you say, each to his own If anything, I would love to get rid of jaggies and shimmering.

  13. Still with World of Tanks, over 3 years now......your fault Arthur Got some lovely kit but only by putting the hours in and being prepared to part with a bit of cash for 'Gold'. Don't use 'Premium' ammunition but am happy to buy a 'Premium' tank once in a blue moon. Working towards a T62 Russian medium but love playing tank destroyers...got many types from different countries from 88mm armed JagdTigers down to to 6 pdr on a Bren Carrier (piccie is a JagdPanther)

    Waco Troop Glider

    And they ended up as widow makers. Many of the Wacos built under licence fell apart due to sub standard working practices and parts. Some licence holders contracted to build eventually didn't build any as they couldn't do it - lots of law suits by US Government. From https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/aerospace-defense/the-flying-coffins-of-world-war-ii 'The Waco Aircraft Company of Troy, OH, a niche manufacturer of civilian airplanes, won the contract to design and build America's first combat glider. Big names like Ford, along with a dozen or so smaller firms, also won glider contracts, but only if they weren't already producing powered aircraft for the war effort. With more than 70,000 parts to assemble and with little or no standardization, some manufacturers produced a few duds, with sometimes tragic results. The wide range of expertise among these contractors, as well as an early lack of standardization of the 70,000-plus individual parts, caused pilots and mechanics no shortage of headaches and more than a few tragedies. MacRae recalls an incident that nearly scrapped the glider program less than a year before its D-Day triumph. In August 1943, a Saint Louis-based contractor invited the city's mayor and other dignitaries to experience the excitement of a glider flight before an airshow audience of 5,000. Aghast spectators watched as a glider abruptly lost a wing at 2,000 feet and crashed in front of the grandstand, killing all onboard. After ruling out sabotage, investigators traced the cause of the crash to a faulty bolt provided by a subcontractor in the coffin business.'
