Pilot's Ten Commandments 1. Thou shalt abstain from the intersection takeoff for, verily, the runway behind thee, as the altitude above thee, cometh not to thine aid when thou needest them. 2. Thou shalt not linger on active runways lest thou become like unto ground sirloin. 3. Ignorest thou not thy checklists for many are the switches, handles, gauges and other demons awaiting to take cruel vengeance upon thee. 4. Thou shalt cast thine eyes to thy right and also to thy left as thou passeth through the firmament lest thy fellow pilots bring flowers to thy widow and comfort her in other ways. 5. Buzzeth not, for this shall surely incur the wrath of thy neighbors and the fury of the FAA shall be called down upon thy head. 6. Thou shalt be ever mindful of thy fuel lest there be nothing in thy tank to sustain thee upon the air and thy days be made short. 7. Trust not thine eyes to lead thee through the cloud lest the Archangel Gabriel await thee therein. 8. Thou shalt not trespass into the thunderstorm lest the tempest rend the wings from thy chariot and cast thee naked into the firmament. 9. Put not thy trust in weather prophets, for when the truth is not in, then they shall not accompany thee among thy ancestors. 10. Often shalt thou confirm thine airspeed on final lest the earth rise up and smite thee.

He hit the ground at a shallow enough angle. Unless he hit something to push the engine into the cockpit(the most common fatal occurrence) he might have lived. Good example of what I would guess is a high speed stall. Aerobatic planes have such large (powerful) control surfaces you can exceed the max angle of attack at almost any speed so you have to be careful..... lest the ground rise up to smite thee.

Depends on your OS. When I was looking at this whole mess a year or so back I'm pretty sure the that a single card running DX10 will perform better than a pair in SLI or Crossfire using DX 9. That may have changed since then so don't quo ..... wait a sec, I made that mistake before

I'm still using XP and will continue till I upgrade to Win7. All the settings I used were in the nVidia control panel. Although as I said some options didn't come up until after I hooked up the second monitor and rebooted. I do have to minimize IL2 (windows key) to get the cursor to move to the second monitor.

I'm a big fan of high quality components, especially in the core of your system like motherboard and power supply. Asus is a great brand, I've used their boards in almost all my systems. Just make sure it will be compatible with the rest of your system and leave room to upgrade with better chips and periphery cards. If you're building a lower end system you can hardly go wrong by using the mobo recommended from the 'mid-range' systems from the sites I listed above..

An astounding pilot. A master of his machine. All kinds of airshow stunts. Many times with engines off. http://www.flixxy.com/bob-hoover-flying-ace.htm Somehow he pissed off someone at the FAA and they revoked his license to fly in the US. Not sure what ever became of that. http://meer.net/users/waa/freehoover.html

After having this second monitor sitting on the desk for a year I finally worked up the courage to set it up. They're different sizes, ratios and resolutions I hooked it up and set it to horizontal span (one wide desktop). IL2 started up but was split between the two monitors. On a reboot another option came up to "configure independently from each other(dualview)". That got everything working as it should. Thanks to everyone who posted here, got some ideas and fixes.

Robo-Hummingbird Takes Flight July 04, 2009 DARPA-contractor AeroVironment has developed a tiny drone that mimics the wing movement of a hummingbird, allowing it fly about and hover just like the actual bird. The firm says the final version of the winged "nano air vehicle" will look like a real hummingbird too, as well as be controllable from up to a kilometer away -- even inside buildings. See test flight video at Wired.com. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/07/video-pentagons-robo-hummingbird-flies-like-the-real-thing/

Systems that use reflectors are subject to disturbances from outside light sources. Or rather heat sources. Mine worked fine until the first afternoon SEOW when the sun came in the window and warmed a spot on the wall behind me. I switched to IR LED's powered off a USB port and it works perfectly with no adjustments for ambient light conditions. A cigarette will throw it off and it will freeze for a second or two as it sees 4 heat sources instead of the 3 it needs.

Again, instead of Track IR consider the Freetrack setup. Same thing as TrackIR, you just collect the components yourself.
