hmmm, new hellcat,

only just seen this thread, don't know if you know, but i've got a little mod, which removes icons from any track (and game) when enabled, regardless of in game icon settings. I always use it for screenshots to remove icons from my tracks, can dig it up if someone wants it. fruitbat

hahaha very good

Well, today i had a massive scare. I'd been moving some stuff around on my desk, including my monitor, which is a 15 month old 24 inch samsung monitor which i love, and turned my computer on, and nothing. the monitor refused to power up, and the led wasn't even on. Now after expelling several expletives, after checking all the cables, even checking the fuse, using a different cable, different socket, and nothing, i was pretty pissed. I remembered gettting a letter from DABS, the company i'd bought it off sending me a letter in jan saying would i like to extend the warrenty, as 12 months was up, which i'd never got around to doing, so thought i was buggered. Anyway, i phoned up samsung just to see really, and spoke to a really helpfull bloke, who told me that i actually had 24 months on this product anyway (fuckin cheaky dabs, trying to sell me something i didn't need), and that they would organise a replacement within 2 days, and swap at my door, which is top notch in my opinion Anyways, to my dilema, About 5 hours later, after i'd moved everything around, and reconnected to my 17inc CRT, i just tried the 24inch again on a whim, and low and behold, it powered up again, and im using it right now to type this on. Should i tell Samsung, or just replace it? Either way, i don't want to have a monitor that refuses to power up from time to time, but i don't want them to turn around and say that i have to keep it now, any advice appreciated, fruitbat

Yeah my wife has been saying that for years.. oh the shame.... 24 inches godammit, lol

to add to what the others have said, i'm running a 24inch widescreen with my old 17inch CRT. It was a simple case of plugging it in to the gfx card, and then going to nvidia control panel to manipulate, res etc... Warning. It is very easy to get use to your new monitor screen real estate!!! "4inch doesn't seem that big anymore, lol. Interstingly, suffer no loss of fps either, running a gtx280.

you need to use this, http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1110.0.html to open the tgb file, which is the one you want, just rename tga, then open in the utility, and save as tga from within the utility. you can then open this new tga with normal stuff, i use gimp. the large tgb files have the alpha channel saved with them, you will get rid of it when you can save it into bmp. You can also save the alpha channel seperatly if you so wanted, or though highly unlikely, again just rename the file .tga. once you open the new tga file, with say gimp, you can save it as a bmp and it gets rid of the alpha channel, then i use infraview to reduce colurs to a 256 colour .bmp,and hey presto, you have the skin:) hope this helps, fruitbat

Yup, me too:)

And when they return it will be as if nothing happened............ its classified, you'll find out in a hundred years, sitting in your $1,000,000 cybotic body, with your brain in a jar, hardwired to a titanium chasis, that they've been saving the world. evey year.

well its been 4 hours since i was last able to log on to ubi. Its getting to stage where its most of the time i can't log on, and thats on the other computer in the house as well.

i've been really struggling to log on to it for a coulpe of weeks now, about 50% of the time i try, is just won't load. Every other site i use is fine, just ubi.

some good news is, is that multithrottle support is implemented in patch 4.10, and most of the other stuff in mikkowls program.

Hi all, for those of you who use il2 compare, here is the latest data set for il2 compare, and has every plane in UP2.0n the download link can be found in this thread, in Gryhons post near the bottom of page 3. http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php/t ... 08.30.html fruitbat

when i was at university, there was a guy in one of my tutorials called richard head. now that is unfortunate. I also know a familiy that has two sons called wayne king, and joe king, not that you'd take the piss out of either of them, as they are huge!

haha, very good, lol

Yeah, i'm in for that. I'll phone up tomorrow. Got my own tent, spent 10 weeks in it straight once in aus, so its a familiar friend, no worries there, lol! Like the sound of always a box of beers, we're doing to get on famously, its close enough that we can go back to the red lion and have some beers for the boys in the evening before retiring, so sounds like a plan

Going to come up for friday night, and return monday morning, add me to the list Done

hmmm, very interested, haven't sorted out accomadation yet, how far is it from the red lion?

is this the good or bad one?

i just loaded them both into winmerge to compare them, and it says they're both identical, very strange...

it was good, but i was expecting something a bit more at the end, don't know what, but not a curtain with the credits, lol. is it a sign that i'm getting older, that as it was playing, i was thinking, glad i don't have to tidy that lot up...

great photos, thanks for posting the link. its amazing how many planes were written off in accidents, also amazing how quick the US built up the bases there.

i'm in the process of making a co-op based around BoB, on the early channel stage in july at the moment, based on the events of the 25 july, basically a large convoy was travelling down the channel between dover and folkestone, and was attacked by ju87's escorted by 109's, with some 110's low level attacking dover harbour itself, with various spit and hurris squadrons sent to intercept. I've changed some of the airfields to make it a bit more co-op friendly but tried to stay as historical as i can including correct squadrons. disclaimer, this is the first co-op i've made, although i'm no stranger to the fmb, will release for testing and tweaking soon, if all goes well, will make some more, have some good references and ideas for some early ruburbs and cicuses as well. fruitbat

wow that looks good. i just tried to reinstall SH3 on my newish comp the other day, and despite people on the SH3 forums saying its possible on vista 64, not really having any joy, and to be honest, don't think i'll bother anymore with this coming out in march

wow, now that is ugly
