Snacko

Had to talk myself into it. Hate spending that kind of money. But as my nephew said "Hey, there are a lot of other hobbies people have that cost a lot more.. cars, boats,.... 'real airplanes'." LoL

Well, I bit the bullet and bought 3 of these for myself.. And one of these cockpit frames. It got good reviews on SimHQ and other places. I like it because it lets you adjust all of the platforms the way you want. And it should be light and portable if needed to be moved.

It must be installed. After I installed it, I thought that DCS would associate FC3 with my account now, and I would no longer need Lockon to reinstall FC3. So I uninstalled Lockon to free space up. One day I did need to reinstall FC3 and I had to install Lockon all over again. So, just don't uninstall Lockon. It doesn't take that much space anyhow...

FC3 and all other DCS modules require DCS World. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/products/flaming_cliffs_3/

Great thread.

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' ... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started... I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And that's when the fight started..... My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started... When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Dust." And then the fight started... Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?" And that's how the fight started... My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started...... After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started... My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." And then the fight started........ I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!' So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?' That's how the fight started. One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started.

Sweet!

That is awesome! I posted that on FB yesterday. I found it on Youtube as well, and the sound is better I think.

Spoke too soon. I did not buy the Su25. I don't understand why they even offer that when the 25t is free. Isn't the 25t the later version?

I now own every module. Whoopie!

Both the DCS website and Steam are having a sale on DCS modules. Modules are on sale 60% or more off... These modules are downloaded from DCS. When you buy one you are just buying the 'key' to unlock it. So, you download it, install it, and run it, and then enter the key that you got from Steam or DCS.

Now you have to fly with us!!

Goth, are you talking about the Su25t, or the Su27?

Yes.

Isn't he just doing a shorter Cobra maneuver?

That is "use Pledge" you filthy heathen!

Very beautiful m8! Do you Pledge on your clear parts?

What he said! I don't have Windows 8. I got this as a second monitor, and touchscreen for TouchBuddy and Helios on my windows 7 rig. But it's a great price. You can't even buy a smaller one for less money. Gothkrieger and I were looking at some online last night, and a cheap 7" touchscreen was still $149!

I bought this same monitor from Newegg.com a few days ago for $199 (free shipping) and it is a great touch monitor. I was telling Gothkrieger about it and then I found it on TigerDirect for $169!! Dammit, I could have saved $30. Anyhow, with Windows moving towards touchscreens with Windows 8, and touchscreens being so useful in building cockpits with the free software that is available, I thought others might find this worth looking at. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8588427&CatId=1449

Ditto. I keep the bedroom door open to avoid her 'song of the people' at 3am. Lesson learned.

Very interesting. Never knew of that before!

yes, very good BB.

Yes, Free. You pay $55 on NewEgg.com and get a $55 Debit Card from Bitdefender, so it's basically free. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832719120&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL111213&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL111213-_-EMC-111213-Index-_-SecurityUtilitiesSoftware-_-32719120-L016C

London tour!? One more puddle jump and you could be in the US! Hope you had a good time.
