Looks very nice. One of my favourite aircraft...big and awesome!!

Mate, anyone who has ever been married is well aware of that. Absolutely Tribunus. In fact, in that respect silence can be likened to the scenario of an elephant in the room that no-one wants to talk about - something huge is in the way and is acting as a block but people walk around it rather than deal with it. So, for once I agree with Jedi (cr@p) in that silence may not be silence after all. Silence = elephant I'm glad I can type this silently rather than saying it......believe me!

Here is a report in the Daily Mail. Brief, but is important as the pilot can now be repatriated and his family can gain some peace in the knowledge that he has been found at last. ~S~ Flight Lieutenant Smith Royal Australian Air Force

I am with all the comments Jim. So many good people wishing so much and passing on so much love. Janie and I send you and Helen our love and best wishes mate. Sidley

How long does it take before the screen saver starts after the mouse has stopped?

Close, aren't they, but it's interesting to see how the scores are made up and compare. Yes, it is an Intel i7 and I'm running 6gb of 'Crucial' RAM. The graphics cards are a huge difference, your ATI is a beast and my Nvidia 460 is a slightly oc'd mid-range.

i7 950 quad core running at 3.07 GHz and an nvidia 460GTX. Done a couple of days ago hence the lack of the big yellow screen..... Result is 1714.0

Not been able to put the time in for a display so I'll volunteer for the 'joker' slot. I'll use a Yak9T '43 version, landing at 18.00.

Thinking of you Jim, take it easy.

Lol, it's good fun altering it and putting stuff like what you have Snacko.... PlayerWounded Ouch! Not good... PlayerWounded2 Bugger! This really hurts... Player_Killed Aaaargh..... FailedFlaps Bugger! Jammed flaps!

and agree with JPs offer. Am probably coming up on motorbike so will be cadging lifts left, right and centre

A year amiss.....? Jeez, time flies. Put it down to..ummm...whatever.

Similar to Jim, no issues at all with TS3 since we started to use it. I've done multiple updates and it has always worked with all Dogz, from my side anyway, whether they are on the same version or not. I run a USB headset for TS alone with the game sound coming from the surround sound speakers.

Added Kiev ribbon for those that fought against the 69GiAP - how do you make it selectable? Does someone need to fiddle with it's size to get it to match? Cheerzen

No, I don't use Sans FOV, just the extra computer and monitor. It runs at 1024 x 768 resolution as this is what the UDP gauges I use are built for.

I know it's not helpful but I am giving two-fingers to the profiteering bastards - I will be going elsewhere. There is no way on this planet that I will support their hike in the prices - they can poke it! Cheerzen Sid Vicious

Tee hee....if you knew, you wouldn't

Perhaps it was to do with the down-sizing and streamlining of the nose. Does the DB engine still have an oil sump or reservoir at the bottom? If it is removed and replaced by oil injection there is no need for a sump thus removing weight and bulk from the engine. It would possibly need some sort of reservoir/cooler but this could be positioned further back and behind the engine as it appears to do so. Doing this along with the raising of the crankshaft/gears nearer the centre line would enable some streamlining due to the reduction in engine size. Edit: Bit more info here 'Daimler-Benz DB 600 series engines - one of those designs that turned out to be right from the very start... Inverted mounting provided better visibility, lower center of gravity, and improved maintenance access. In the Bf 109, a cannon was mounted between the engine banks and fired through a propeller hub. The DB-601A in the Bf 109E, used fuel injection instead of a carburetor, a great asset in combat since the engine did not cut out under negative g' forces. This engine was also used in some Heinkel 111s and license-built versions in the Macchi MC.202 Folgore and several Japanese aircraft.' Answering my own question, the picture on the page shows that there is a flat oil reservoir, situated at the bottom of the engine inbetween the valve mechanism covers.

Wah hay....!!! New install, here we come

Happy birthday Brando! My sort of presents.......

I would love to get it running again Brando, thank you for your offer. You are right though, there is a fair bit of travel involved. I'm checking on info that the 8800GTXs are incompatible with new boards with PCIe 2.0 but can't get anything conclusive. The cards ran ok on the P5N mobo - this is PCIe 2.0 - although there were some occasional graphics issues that appeared to be resolved with a change in the GeForce driver. If they are incompatible then I'll get some 400 series cards but I can't get a shop to lend me one to test that theory.....reluctant to buy until I know. The other alternative is to buy a new pooter. The one I am looking at for the right price is a similar spec to the rebuild though so I am hesitating again
