Dimable reticle and and red lighted map at night (with cockpit lights on)?? Night flying is much more of a pleasure, at long last.
-
You mean there are people out there who take that stuff seriously??? Sorry, I just read a recent report about how many women leave their husbands who return from war with such wounds. Makes me wonder where I can find one like this lady. Well picked, sir.

Ahhh, shock cooling (and avoidance thereof). Of course. That makes sense.

Anyone ever notice this? What's it for?
I was messing around with trim and sliders and got messing with the throttle when I noticed that in the FW-190A4's cockpit, (actually, all 190s have it) the throttle has a detent (okay, really an offset) between 0-22% throttle and 23-100%. Any idea what this was for? My guess would be that lower range would be warmup settings?
-
FT, Perfesser, got it, it worked... sort of. The only "slider" I have left is the rudder rocker on my throttle (which I don't need as I now have real rudder pedals) so we'll see how well that works. And, not at all C/O the FW-190's beautiful trim gauge. Gotta be a slider or nothing. Oh well. Nice to know and will keep it in mind. Thanks.

Okey, nevermind...
(Don't mind us sheep. Hey! Wait. That ones not a sheep!) Oh, hey, she did kinda quarter smile toward the end there... -
Dunno, but maybe the lack of facial expression is par for the course for young female guitarists?

What version of IL2 are you using that has this this trim slider? I'm using 4.11.1 HSFX 6.0.17 and there is no trim setting in the joystick settings menu. Does it perhaps need to be manually written in to the .ini before it will display? I, too, have once again given up on the sliders and gone back to 100% across the board. Just have to learn to be more sensitive about the airplanes needs is all. (Sheesh, did I really just say that???)

Good to hear.

Personal oral histories of veterans, WWII, Vietnam, and Korea. Some very interesting stories, with footage. Best to copy the URL, it's not displaying right.

DO NOT go with Discover. I've seen more than a few places (including one where I used to work) that don't take Discover. Their rates for businesses are too high.
-
Wow. Love those images. Would be nice to visit something like that someday.
-
Uh. Aw, shucks. Me too. Damn. I do NOT need another flight sim... Some things are just too good not to have, though.

Money's no object? How about space? Simple answer: One of each. By the way, if money's no object, why not buy your friends some, too?
FW-190A8 P-38 Lightning (J,K,L) A-1 Skyraider (H,J)
+1 for the F2G Super Corsair!
Won't get into the post WWII stuff... Okay, yes I will!
A-4 Skyhawk (yes, all of them!) F-4 Phantom II (B,E,G,J) F-14 Tomcat (A,B,D, SuperTomcat 21 [wishful thinking])
AH-1 (F,G) [That's an S in the picture, I think. Canopy frame is definitely late] and OH-6A
UH-1 (N)
AC-130J, KC-130, C130 to get all the spare parts and fuel there... and protect it all from those who would haul off with it given half a chance!
By the way, anyone, in looking through pictures to post on this thread, note just how many pictures are incorrectly labeled? Sad, but not surprising.

Niccceeee!!! Or is that "The epitome of lazy"? Still, funny as hell.

T-34 vs T-90. Love the hippie girls! (I call the readhead.)

The best part? "Never touch your pets again!" ...Huh? Erm, they're pets. You're supposed to, I dunno, pet them, perhaps? Maybe it's just me.
Falls heavily into the category of anyone seriously considering this should probably seriously reevaluate their interest in having pets in the first place.

Found this in my wanderings, it has some very interesting things to say given that it's a mini-14 website...
Personally, I agree with the analysis. Why limit yourself if you've got the extra to go with a mil-spec AR?
You make an interesting statement there about "Looking into getting something else before they get banned" after your comment about standing up for your rights several posts before. That's why I'm rather leery of this whole idea that law abiding gun owners won't hand in their weapons when told to do so. They are, after all, law abiding citizens, and not doing so would make them something they fundamentally aren't. Of course, what was one of the first things Hitler did after invading a country? Yep, take away their weapons. Sigh. I think I'll leave this topic alone now...

This is a PBS series that I've found rather fascinating. Below is a preview of the episode I was telling about on TS last night.

"Hey did any see Biden saying all anyone needs is a double barrel shotgun, and how he told his wife just stepping out onto the porch and firing 2 shots in the air would chase off any threat? I have to laugh cause the guy has a contingent of heavily armed body guards around himself and his family at all times. The other thing is how come no one ever get to ask any of these guys about the ability to fight tyranny and an oppressive government? They must be screening everyone that gets close enough to interview or ask them anything. They probably threaten to lock them up where no one will ever find them if they don't stick to the script."
I walked in the door tonight coming home from work and that was on. For a second, I was royally ashamed to be from the same state as Biden, but then I realized a truth: He's a politician and by default (although particularly so as he is a high placed one), he lives in a bubble, with almost zero idea of reality for the rest of us, due to his skewed perception thereof.
Why that single class? Well, they're scary, would be my answer. Same reason you don't see Delta's little black and bigger black helicopters practicing in U.S. cities. It scares people.
I'm not so sure that I agree with you on the "it'll all go away with time" viewpoint. I've had people tell me that they're fully convinced that there's no point in getting an AR-15 or AK-47 type rifle at all anymore, as the day is fast approaching when the government will tell you that you're no longer allowed to have such weapons. That and I've seen the knee jerk reactions first hand by lawmakers and believe that once a law is on the books, it's not going to get repealed any time soon.
As for constitutional rights, I'll paraphrase George Carlin's skit called "You have no rights" in which he denotes several major problems with the idea of "divine given rights" (I'll call them), and at the end of the skit points out. "Still believe your precious "rights" (really privileges)? Look up "Japanese Americans 1942" and you'll find out all about your precious f****** rights."

Looks nice... which is about all I can say. I'm quickly learning that my knowledge of firearms is pathetically limited. My boss recently offered the use of his weapons any time for target practice, just that I buy my ammo (duh!) and help clean the weapons afterwards. Went out on the interwebs today to get some idea of what to get - and realized that I have no clue what's best for the situation. FMJ? JHP? Amount of propellent? What other info is there? Needless to say, I've got me some learnin' to do! I'm none too surprised to hear that the ARs disappeared so quickly. Everywhere I've been has stated that what's in stock is going fast due to high demand, and, for once, I believe them. Local gun shop did a segment right before Christmas on the local news talking about how fast they were turning things and how busy they were.

In a recent discussion on TS, one of my esteemed fellow sheep mishandlers called the Huffington Post the "Huff and Puff Post". Considering the fact that they have now, unless I am completely mistaken, simply made up their own unit of measurement, I must agree with the gentleman... in this particular case, anyway.
So what, exactly, in, say Newtons, is, quote "the force of 20 atomic bombs"...? Seriously, folks. Really??? Sigh. Anyway, the subject matter under discussion was the amazing detonation of a (former) celestial body of some form that exploded over a Russian town today. (As I am unsure of the correct term, I shall refrain from using any, as that will undoubtedly be the wrong term.) Amazing, in largest part, because, as far as I've heard no one was killed, despite many, many injuries.

Now thats what I need! If not for throttle and stick, definitely for the rudder pedals. I agree with them. You're spoiled!

Has anyone gotten partial kills yet? I've set up quick missions with lightly armed fighters against a heavy bomber, making sure they both get many shots in... and it still counts it as a whole kill for one or the other despite the fact that both got many licks in. Ideas?
