Perfesser

Sort of off topic but hell I'm so proud of my Canadian Honour Guards brothers(and sisters) that I had to post it. You can read the rest of this at the link above but this part I had to post

:pysch_couch:

I thought I said not to quote me?

I think all RAM will run at the speed of the slowest stick but don't quote me on that.

Trimming just means you don't have to hold constant pressure on the stick(or rudder), you can fly "hands off" without holding back the stick in a climb. Fly fast without pushing forward on the stick. Rudder trim has a lot to do with throttle setting and speed. You can watch this with the slip/skid gauge(the curved glass tube with the ball inside) Flying straight, the ball is in the middle. If it isn't, you're not flying straight. Another thing about trim. Your elevator trim works just like a cruise control and is the most important aid to precise flight control. The guy bobbing around in formation is the guy who's always fighting the stick because he hasn't trimmed the plane. Elevator trim sets the SPEED your aircraft will fly at. If you get the plane flying level at 350K and adjust the trim so you can let go of the stick it will always want to fly at (or close to) 350K. Cut the throttle and it will go into a dive... and stabilize at around 350K. Add full throttle and it will climb ..... at around 350K. These are fighters and not designed for stable flight, they have huge engines trying to twist the plane in all kinds of directions at once so they don't react to trim as nicely as your passenger planes of today. Very handy when landing. Most beginners just chop the throttle, point the nose at the runway and get there at 450K. Not pretty. Get off the end of the runway at 700m or so, cut the throttle and hold the nose up, slow the plane down to your approach speed. 50K or so above stall with gear and flaps deployed and use elevator trim for hands off flight. Now you adjust your sink rate to the strip with throttle. If it looks like you'll be short DO NOT pull back on the stick, this will make you sink faster and fall even shorter. Just add some throttle. When you almost touch down then you pull back the stick to hold the plane off the runway(flare) and let the speed bleed off. When the plane is ready it will stop flying and drop the last foot onto the runway without the embarrassing crow hopping. I find in the game it's a good idea to add some throttle just before you flare, these planes are heavy and it makes the landing smoother. When you get some experience you'll know how far you have to be off the runway so you can glide in with your engine at idle.

Most guys here are mature, by that I mean slightly older, wiser, craftier. They would never insult you by planning a session where you know you're going to be beaten down. You will have your day of being bloodied when you least expect it. Do you want a hint? "Twenty seconds"

Free to play yes. The hardware upgrades are only about $2000 a year......... OK not quite.... the current version plays fine on my current 2.6 Core Duo.

All of us in CHG are waiting for America's Army 3 to come out. Following some of the updates and Dev notes. This will be amazing. Our threads are in America's Army News here: http://www.canadianhonourguards.ca/messageboard/

Should work. When you open the old editor there's a drop down menu for whatever stick. If the new one uses the .pro file then it should work. My biggest problem was what button I was programming. Finally a 3D view again. Here's a list and yes the X45 has been added with the last release. http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=16643

This is where it's very handy to have a second HD with an OS installed. Boot off the second drive and you can still access all the data on the first drive with the corrupted OS. You could pull the HD out of another computer, use that as your primary(boot) and the corrupted one as the slave. If you can get it fired up, copy important data off the corrupt drive (assuming you have any access to it), and then you can reformat the corrupted drive.

GIMP is free and is more capable than this user. I'm sure I saw the layering thing in there. I played with it for a while but the learning curve was overtaken by something else.

Although it's mostly just a showpiece you can't take away the amount of time and effort that must have gone into it. I wouldn't change my short joystick. Long sticks are just leverage for high forces you need to apply to the controls. Once you're fly by wire (F16, IL2...) you're better off with an elbow rest and short side stick, like the F16. Unless you put external stops on the stick you'll probably break it with all that leverage. Must have been tons o fun rewiring it. I got this in the mail, what a cool cockpit this would make in the basement. The Most Economic Car in the World will be on sale next year Better than Electric Car - 258 miles/gallon: IPO 2010 in Shanghai This is a single seated car From conception to production: 3 years and the company is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. Will be selling for 4,000 yuan, equivalent to US$600.00 Gas tank capacity = 1.7 gallons

Electronics like clean, steady power. That means get a quality name brand PSU and never let it get to the point where it's supplying it's peak rated power. I calculate power needs and add 50% (or even double if I intend to upgrade later). Try to make sure it's the PSU before you go buy one. I seem to recall getting the same kind of errors when a USB device(rudder pedals) was shorting out the port. Unplug extra stuff and see if you still get the problem

Won't much matter, almost nothing else is.

This would wipe out any registration cookie

After you create a new pilot look for the "users" folder. In that are all the pilots you have created. You can copy all your settings from the one you like and just drop it in. OR you can make the settings you like as default. Save a copy of your settings (as well as your conf. file) in your documents folder and if you have to re-install the game you won't lose everything.

I ran the cleaner but my pucker factor did spike briefly to 8.5 nevertheless.

LOL I got the April fools joke when I hit reply. Anyway, have a look at the TS settings under settings and options. Try going from wave to direct sound and force 8 bit recording if that doesn't work. Make sure the input and output say Soundmax. They may still be set to your sound card.

To this guy they're all Fockers............. "I had Fockers above me, below me and behind me. Then one of the Fockers shot me down." "How do you know they were Focke Wolfs?" I don't,

I'm doing nothing different. I conserve all year, now I have to do without? Climate change isn't the issue anyway, global pollution is. It's too late to stop climate change, I just hope we still get enough winter to keep the Africanized bees south of Canada.

Air combat wasn't taught very well by the Allies at the start of the war.

Been trying to think of these guys for a few days, finally got it. http://www.mdgdirect.ca/ Sort of a chain store but with more custom stuff. They build it on the spot, not order a pre-made system. You choose options, upgrades. Southern Ontario

My Passat TDI wagon has room for 5 plus luggage, tows 1000lbs of trailer, has 265 ft/lbs of torque(like a V8) and gets 45 miles per imperial gallon. 6.7 liters per 100km. Not some specs in a commercial, real life average over the 4 years I've owned it. I guess I better watch my back.
