All the planes you mentioned are pigs at low&slow conditions. The P-51 can be quite good if it's low on fuel(25% or less) but still, it would struggle to outturn a 109, Zero, Spit etc. down there. The other main reason to why most fights happen down there is that fighting high takes a bit more skill when it comes to trim and controlling the aircraft. Stalls easier in the thinner air. Just find a tactic you're comfortable with. Personally, what I do, greatly depends on the mood. Just remember: Speed is life, altitude is life insurance.

Sweet! I'd also eat shit if I was offered a trip like that. Expecting reports/pics from all the gunner positions as well as from the pitcock. ~S~

~S~ Pappy We probably don't have any level of discipline at all. Welcome to the pound. Kimo

Really really really enjoying those pics, JP. Thanks! I bet it was really tempting to ask if you could fire it up too.

Yeah, no international shipping kinda blows for me as well. Thanks for the tip, Prop!

Sorry man. Looks like a nice trio there. Best wishes to you and the remaining duo.

A pic from Norway without fjords? Oh my, what has this world come to? Lol I like hiking too Rolo, never been to Finland though.

~S~ RoloD! I think you'll fit right in m8. In addition to what Toad said, you'll also need to breathe. Pulse only just won't cut it here at the DDz. Yeah, it's harsh but we don't pick from the bottom. See ya up there.

Good to hear you got it sorted, Fruitbat. From one overclocker to another: DO NOT use any kind of software to tweak any voltage settings in your BIOS. It's one of the golden rules man.

As tough as they come. Wounded 14 times on one tour....... ~S~

Hrrraaaaayyy! Thanks to Mr. Mick Pain for recommending this squad as well. You weren't joking when you said it's a crazy bunch.

Scratch built wooden biplanes and triplanes..... I'm not surprised. I've seen your HOMEMADE cnc bench and your computer cases, PropNut. You got some skillz yo. Can't wait to see how the brass case is coming together. High Five!

I just wear something on top there to minimize tha old-man radiation, dawg.

If you have a multimeter and a paperclip you can easily check the PSU yourself. The PSU have more than one kind of voltage to supply so even though you have juice supplying your fans from the molex connectors you could still have a faulty 3.3, 5 or 12V rail dedicated to your motherboard or even the SATA power connectors(drives won't start). If you feel confident about it, unhook the PSU, take it out of the case and short one black(any black) and one solid green wire on the 24pin connector, using a bent-out paperclip(or something similar), that's the power-button signal. Then you can work your way down through the connector using the multimeter and check if you have voltages between any black(they're all ground) and a colored wire. If you have one or some of them not showing 3.3, 5 or 12V, chances are that your PSU is fried. *edit* Just noticed that you're doing the Warranty-thingy lol.

No boot up as in no power, or BIOS screen only? Warranty and sending stuff back and forth plus waiting would suck ass if it's your PSU that's messing...

The F-35 will be replacing the Norwegian F-16's. No VTOL's though, not even a STOL, just the "regular" multirole ones but still. I'm excited!

Good stuff, Crash. Good stuff. Thanks to you I'm now just waiting for my FFB to blow up as well.

Heyah Lobster! Welcome to the pound, looking forward to flying with ya. We have plenty of crashes during take offs/landings already so you'll fit right in.

+1 on making the trip next year.

I can only see a blood thirsty vampire with his eyes set on the guy/gal/sheep next to you. Is that Jedi, and if it is, what did you do to him?

Great bunch of pics, FT! Have a great trip to Normandie whoever's going.

Painless and JP you LUCKY BASTARDS!!
