How about interesting weapons? Mad Jack Churchill; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill The only British soldier known to have killed a German with a Long Bow in WW2. Slightly more racy appreciation of the same man but apparently written by Quentin Tarantino ; http://badassoftheweek.com/churchill.html

It's a great picture though, isn't it? It's Sigmund Freud

Going from dual core to quad core didn't make too much difference to CoD or DCS world performance as they're not really optimised for multi cores but was a revelation in RoF. You should be good to go in BoS too!

I wouldn't worry too much about having to reload the o/s and certainly no need to fiddle with the Bios. http://dangerdogz.com/forums/topic/10946-will-i-have-to-reload-windows/

Hmmmm.....that's a toughie Jack. The charming young lady in the centre; she's not part of the retirement package is she? . Congratulations Captain. Looking forward to flying with you more in the near future.

From todays short development update on the BoS forum. It's looking good.

An interesting composition you've got there Friar!

Downloaded and got the P51 up and running yesterday. It's a hoot! Very satisfying just to do a decent 3-pointer. Damage modelling and effects is a bit of a let down but the biggest draw back at the moment is being stuck with the old LockOn map. I haven't managed to shoot up the FW yet but I have brought down an Antonov transport plane (!) and I've taxied around the hardened aircraft shelters of a Cold War Soviet airfield in the Caucasus (!!). This thing desperately needs some sort of context so I think Luthier would be doing himself and DCS a big favour by developing a western Europe map as a matter of priority but of course that requires the "Edge" engine to be introduced and ED will give no time scale on that. I bunged $20 into the Kickstarter this morning for old times sake. I'd love to fly a P47 made to the standard of a study sim. though I think the promise of the base game being free with three flyables to this standard is going to put a bit of a millstone around the devs necks. Will it make for a commercially viable combat flight sim in the long run? Not a cat's chance in hell. Once you've negociated the sheer clunkiness of DCS World installation to get anything out of this you need the full kit; TrackIr, a Hotas set up, pedals, etc. Then you go through the "Uh-oh, my tracker/joystick/throttle stopped working" bit and then you're confronted with a vertical cliff face of a learning curve for each aircraft. There are simply not enough people with this level of dedication and enthusiasm to support this sort of complexity. Good luck to 'em though. What a revelation it must have been for experienced pilots in the late 'forties to exchange their big piston engined fighters with a cockpit full of gauges and levers requiring constant monitoring for a DeHaviland Vampire or a Lockheed P80.

Fen; thanks for that. I've downloaded the P51 but haven't installed it yet. I'll give your suggestion a go before I do as I quite miss me jets. Standby for a plea for help!!!

Thats the frustrating thing Snacko. All the key info is stored in the registry and comes up but I seem to be stuck in a never-ending loop of verification. So no cockpits.

Hmmm....well I've got DCS World working again but it refuses to accept that I've got Flaming Cliffs 3 but I really would like to try the P51. I could have bought it in the recent Steam sale but Steam never wants to accept my money!!

Got this today I see a couple of other members of the Dogz did too.

Ladram Bay at high tide on Tuesday evening. Although the camera never lies...................................................................................................................................................................................................................... theres always a catch...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Whoops

Nick!! Hope you have a great birthday m8.

Arctic Cooler Pro7. Just took the side panel off and gave it a fingering ( ). Cooler is, er.......cool.

It is a beast and today I found out why. i7 930 should run at 2.8ghz stock. Mines running at 3.6ghz!!!! The board and cpu were sold separately on Ebay but from a single vendor. He'd O.C'd it but not changed anything when he put them on Ebay. Not sure if I should clock it down or leave it running as it is. RoF at all settings maxed out, including supersampling, on the Channel map with a thirty plane dogfight in the qmb; Core temps don't seem to exceed 60 degrees with all this going on so I'm inclined to leave it be and bring on BoS!!!

Thats fantastic Snacko. | want one........but not the risk assessment.

Happy birthday guys! Hope you both had good ones. Wow, Arty is fifty-four! How can that be? He doesn't look a day over fifty-three

Pre-ordered today. Couldn't resist it after watching this. O.K., it's a half-hour of two guys talking in Russian with subtitles but if you want to go straight to the meat and potatos watch from 26.00 for a circuit of the field and the kind of landing I make.

You were quite right, Rog. Swapped it all over this evening. Had a back up of everything on standby but Win7 recognised everything with no problems and no need to re-register or anything. It's a beast!!!!

Awesome!!!!!

The inspiration for the Walrus is apparently a couple of wrecked ones in the Caribbean that one of the aquarium's curators has dived on. Nice work if you can get it! Snacko; in Britain it's considered lucky to climb a buttock-shaped hill.

Nope. Thats 7.62 rounds and splinter damage from cannon shells. Be pleased to inform Her Majesty that the White Ensign flies alongside the Union Jack in South Georgia. God save the Queen.
