  1. When you have toys that big there's always interesting leisure time. We landscape, BG relocates mountains. Was it spoiling your view or something?
  2. Lockerbie bomber 'set free for oil' http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6814939.ece The British government decided it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdomâ€
  3. I know we all love it but does she share our approval?
  4. Cheers to you both.
  5. I gave my daughter a Browning .22 just like that last year. I think the Fish got to shoot it a bit too.
  6. I can't seem to put it in the vault. Mail me your address and I'll send you the DVD.
  7. I found the P51 gyro sight a great teaching aid, amazing how much just a few G's will do. In a fight where you're not staying on the bad guys 6 I'll often pull my nose through his flight path and let off a stream for him to fly through. It doesn't get the quick kills that sure gunnery does but it does get a few damaging hits.
  8. That work thing really screws up my flying too. We don't fly enough with one person to really get involved with the wingman tactics but just one or two simple guidelines at a time won't be like working at it. It will be like having fun, with style.
  9. The one thing you have to accept about all online games is the level of proficiency some people will have. Do you notice when you go to play online there are the same 6 or 8 names there? ALL the time. How many hours a week can you put in? 5? 10? 30? Some of them are putting in 30 hrs a week and more. Kids off school? Double that. The stability of your internet speed has some function too. Faster speed today and you lead the target less. Learn to shoot offline and you relearn when online. I'm not nearly good enough to get right in the cockpit with the other guy before shooting but that is the best way to deal with the lag. In my opinion the biggest assets that the Dogs have aren't being used. Teamwork and patience. Mature folks have patience and judgment that only comes from experience. The Dogs don't spend any time developing the teamwork skills that would give them a huge advantage over any single opponent. That isn't intended as an insult in any way, just saying that my own gunnery and general performance is directly related to the time I spend on an opponents tail. We have the potential to even that up simply by starting with some very simple guidelines. 1. Fly with a buddy, line abreast, about 1 km apart. 2. If one is engaged or shooting the other does nothing but watch and report. That's all, simple. It becomes second nature. We do that for 6 months and we'll end up going home for fuel or ammo most of the time.
  10. I have the download, why can't I send you the file somehow? Or send you a DVD in the mail? Can you get an authentication code is the question?
  11. Delta!! Your avatar?? I loved that clown thing After all the info I've heard about business influencing government policy I would think that would be the most likely reason for his release. Someone wants a favour. That just makes someone just as dirty as the bomber.
  12. Special thanks to all who followed the thread and helped out with the problems. ~S~
  13. Standard spin recovery for most every plane is Full opposite rudder Controls neutral Engine to idle when the spin stops, allow some airspeed to build so you don't start a secondary spin, throttle up and level out. Only a very few have special requirements.
  14. I saw a post for drivers. Try the Vista 64 bit ones for Win 7 64 bit. All the trouble I had was no more than a corrupt download. Win7 installed perfectly.
  15. Huh? I don't know if the guy was guilty or not not but since he was convicted I must assume he was. He would have caused the mental anguish of thousands of people over the death their innocent loved ones. The victims are the ones who deserve compassion, certainly not the ones with evil in their heart. Mourn the sheep, the wolves choose their own destiny.
  16. The 39 is one of my favourites. When pushed too far one wing will stall and snap roll then into a spin. As soon as it drops a wing I give a hard stab at opposite rudder, chop throttle. Most important is the rudder though. If you let it develop into a full spin(where the nose is bobbing up and down) it's usually too late.
  17. I download the file again and burned another disk in the manner that Jabo suggested. As well, I burned the disk at 4x instead of the max speed and stayed off the computer. For the first time a message was on the screen at the end that "the contents of this disk are incompatible with your OS"(XP). I'm taking that as a good sign and I'll spin it up when I get the chance.
  18. Correct and many thanks Jabo for your 2 am help. checking the disk health and downloading again is the cheapest option to start with
  19. So i hit a key to boot from CD Windows is loading files and completes and an error. Windows failed to start hardware or software changes may have etc etc insert Win disk and hit repair etc FILE \windows\sytem32\boot\winload.exe STATUS 0xc0000001 INFO entry cannot be loaded application is missing or corrupt Hit enter anyway and Choose OS to start but the only option I have is Windows Setup [EMS enabled] enter on that and I go back to the first "windows failed to start" screen enter again and back to the "choose OS" screen where the only other option far below is the Memory Diagnostic tool. That runs to 100% with no errors. Exit all that and the drive with XP loads fine. The only thing I can think of is the download is corrupt or something is wrong with the HDD itself. I'll download the file again and add to my collection of Memorex coasters I do have one other option after that. I still have a third HD. A 36G Raptor. If Win7 loads on that drive then the new HD is defective.
  20. I'm a little confused. My Win7 folder(the one I unzipped if memory serves)
  21. Ahh ok thanks. So I just made myself yet another Memorex coaster. I give that a whirl.
  22. I unzipped the file into a Win7 folder in my downloads folder. I then put the target path as that folder C:\Downloads\win7. That is correct isn't it? I don't have to point to a particular file?
  23. I favour rye whiskey myself but it's close enough. We also have big cars with lots of room for women, shotguns and all the other essentials. I will admit though with the economy being what it is I've had to make some concessions. Toned down to a crossover(how come it used to be a station wagon?), traded the semi-auto for a pump and the wife stays home. As for the rye ..... I still buy the good stuff. Some things are sacred. That being said this is Canada, the only beer we have comes in a bottle or ... dare I say ... a can?
  24. Yup. We have multi core processors cheap enough to be mainstream now. Processor speed doesn't look like it's going much past 3mhz. The only performance gain is going to be through spreading stuff across multiple cores. Years back I got an Athalon64 in anticipation of Longhorn, what a waste of $ that was. Things seem to be sorted out much better now. Might as well get on it.
  25. 7100.0.090421-1700_x64fre_client_en-us_retail_ultimate-grc1culxfrer_en_dvd.iso That is the file name. There are detailed instructions on their site. I must have missed a step.
