Perfesser

Good choice. I have a P5B and 2.66. I'm thinking of upgrading to the 3.0 quad core. 4g ram minimum, Corsair makes matched pairs At least 700w

For decent performance you want to have a portion of your HD clear. 10% maybe?

That reminds me. Before I built this system my old one was doing all kinds of funny things. Slow loading, random reboots. Stress testing at the shop and it responded perfectly. Brig it home and hook it up .... same problems. Turns out my CH rudder pedals had an internal short that was causing everything. Maybe unplug some things and see.........

I had some funky things going on for a while too. Turns out a trojan was hiding in a file and changed my AV program to permissive(lowest setting) from the highest setting. Strangely enough, Win Defender caught it after a week. The file was a Game Booster install file BTW.

While not an expert in such matters it seems to me they feel they're an imposition to you or they would have asked. The hardest thing for my parents was the loss of their independence ....... "oh don't worry, I don't want to be a bother". Mom ..... there's no HEAT in the house. They were simply embarrassed that someone had to do things for them. I suggest stopping by just to say hello where they mention things while just chatting ....

No need to worry, by the time it's actually released it will run as an app in your i-phone.

I think the original AirHogs were air powered but mostly batteries now. http://www.airhogs.com/ There must be 100 different ones. Planes, ornithopters, heli's, gyros, zero-G cars..... wow. Saw this one a few days back for the first time. http://www.buyswitchblade.com/ Short duration no doubt but I'm impressed by their innovation.

The Pedestal campaign is being run in 4.08 modded and 2 more weeks left to completion. I'm not doing anything until it's over.

Really odd that I couldn't find a single reference in Google. Beep codes http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

In keeping with the theme of the thread Leslie Neilson is Canadian.

For years I've been watching those Air Hogs commercials on TV. They look pretty cool and so cheap. A guy at work has a RC Piper Cub replica, wingspan 7 ft. It cost him more than a real Cub would have. I figured I would just go the ultralight route.

Not sure what that means.

Not being an expert by any sense I would try to add some weight directly under the rotor shaft. Farther down the better, like tape some coins to the belly(no idea how much weight the thing could lift). It seems to me that would make it less responsive to the controls if it's too twitchy for you to get used to at first. Even the slightest gust of wind would be like a 50 mph wind to a small craft like that .... indoors maybe? And shouldn't a helicopter balance right at the rotor shaft?

Great tale Trout. Thanks

I think what he means most of all is don't use shift F12 or Alt 7. Use a letter key. I myself am amazed at how quickly vertigo took all the fun out of flying. Its cool but no thanks.

My mistake FOV changer understands only keys from A-Z and as capitals.

I'm sure I read something in the manual about using Shift+letter key.

You could always give the freezer method a try, 500g is a lot of data to copy, might take too long.

Holy crap, how is it that I've never heard of this before? An aspirin per cell in an average car battery? Only ASA I assume? I did some looking. The ASA trick is recommended as a last chance thing. The aspirin's acetylsalicylic acid will combine with the battery's sulfuric acid to produce one last charge. Just be sure to drive to your nearest service station. For a longer term maintenance kind of thing: Give your battery a little more life with this potion. Dissolve about an ounce of Epsom salt in warm water and add it to each battery cell.

Bought a Raptor a while back. 150 and 300G are all I could find.

It's really expensive for what it is but the batteries interest me greatly. And in Alberta?....... May to October maybe? Dunno the exact exchange rate but it would end up pretty close to $10K. I see more and more Smart Cars (3 cyl. turbo diesel) out here. Probably not so great for the highway but for lower speed roads, 80k limit, they would be good. They will do over 100 but there's nothing extra. We only get the ugly 2 seater in Canada so far but the girls think it's cute. I think they are just over $15K base. ZENN (electric) is an option too I guess but I think they shut down earlier this year. Low sales. And you could only use them on roads posted 60k limit. They went for just over 15K and weren't eligible for the $10k "energy efficiency" grant (stupid huh?).

@JP - I suspect that will always be the stone around your neck. Imagine having a Grand Slam but be able to deliver with perfect accuracy, anywhere, anytime.

Probably just revenge because we won't let them have decent coffee or cheap prescription drugs.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and especially you Canucks. I have much to be thankful for this year especially. You Dogs have been very welcoming to me over the last 10 months. And this past week I took the first step towards a long time dream of my own. Just a few days ago I signed the purchase agreement on a 12.5 acre bit of land near Fergus Ontario. While merely a thumbprint by BG's standards its still long enough (1622ft) for a LANDING STRIP. Yay me!

It makes no damn sense at all to release a mod patch that isn't compatible with the current game version.
