  1. Prepare to crash. And i really hope you got a track-ir. Very poor visibility in those ancient match boxes.:)
  2. Flying coffin must be interesting to fly not many sims featuring it.
  3. Meh on what aspect ? Can you be more precise ? Or maybe elaborate more ?
  4. +1. Thats part of my point. Flying fooling around is easy compared to survival in a combat situation. Civ.FS are focused on fooling around and ATC, they are a diferent kind. If engine and airframe time stress were so important they would have been done in Mil.FS. Althought flying in Civ.FS may have some use in Mil.FS. Discounting ATC, a Mil.FS flyer will be much more proficient then a Civ.FS flyer on the same vector. You may have failure at will in a Civ.FS, but in Mil.FS you get failures when you really don t want them :D , and the kind you will never have in a Civ.FS But each one its kind, some people enjoy simply milling around and enjoy the scenery some don t. just a last needle stab, as someone sayd: Flying is easy, keeping itself alive in a combat situation ain t. The same way WW2 pilot where rushed with almost no hours of flying, you get the kid arrested last year that flew planes without any training, and the very sad 9/11.
  5. Well Asus is a bright star. so far only 1 other brand (Giga) But is it because it sells a lot, would it be their fault or a component used in boards ? or again a faulty WT ?
  6. I understand your point, but there s still no point for me to do what you say. Unless you can "on the click of a button" induce the failures you want, if not then meh, gonna fly how many hours waiting that ? As for the situation your bringing, its overdone IRL pilots need assistance in such cases and they call for it. The possibilities of failures are more like enciclopedia britanica. I've seen military pilot do thing under failure induced by instructor that i was wondering WTF is he was doing. To my utmost surprise the instructor was having the same issue cause he corrected him, and i was surprised to realize he didn t even knew something near the right reaction. (Ok it was only one element, but we know there s a pletora of bad pilots up in the sky). A grand father of a ex of mine was pilot, then pilot instructor, he always updated a list of "no fly" to his wife and kids, if the pilot was X, and those pilots were certifieds, flying in major companies. Pilot are trained and checked for reactions, but they are trained for most commons problems not all problems. And what pilots do during those hours, certainly not test what you say on real planes. And certainly not flying with that kind of setting with vintage planes, modern flight rules wouldn t even allow half of what your described. What student pilots do ? Well they fly and fly and fly, so regulatory (it ain t companies but i forgot the word) may almost be sure they got a minimum of right reactions to commons problems, and a minimum of the ATC regulations in the veins. And they aren t prone to do s(peep)t. Its like car license, in some countries like France you have a tag of 90km/h for a year for students that passed the test... Do you really think someone that passed a good test ain t able to control the car above 90km/h after a month ? So far for me Civ. FS are boring, already tried and find them boring no matter what.:( Maybe this will change when we get ATC regulation in some Mil.FS. Because so far, i couldn t care less for ATC in virtual world.:D Since i ll never be a irl pilot anyway, because sincerely, i think i would suffer from the same problem IRL that i suffer in virtual environment. I really need adrenaline, sorry. Medication addicted me to it. So i prefer to keep skidiving and the like. Its getting so pathetic that since i learned to drive motorcycles i find cars damn borring. I ll drive a thousand time my bike in the rain without waterproof gear than getting in a car if situation permit it, and if its not suicidal.
  7. If its not it need to be... Moreee moooddiiing.
  8. HUH... You want better than that ?
  9. Nice pit inddeed, a dream... what is the setting of the "panel" monitor ? Do you use monitors or TVs as main screens ?
  10. I was wondering about this issue with my shirt buttons the other day, velcroing them only on the bezels is enought ? When you press the buttons on the "free corner" the MFD don t slam the monitor surface ?
  11. Thanks, you re a lucky boy, for now i wouldn t even have space for both. And since WT is so much bigger than CG i think i ll have to make modifications to my settings.
  12. You should try for ww2 birds, this kind of setting on/off was way more used then. When i ll mount my pit probably 2cd semester of 2012 i will be interested, but i want someothing more generic so i can use it for various sims. Would be interesting if you can put some "label holders" so we can easely switch the nme of the switch, but thats only a trip of mine.
  13. Thats.. awwwesome.
  14. I need an obj... :( if there is no goal i get short attention span symdrome kicking quickly after the "Ho its nice" factor wear off. Probably due to lack of adrenaline.
  15. HU another hawx....nico looking pakfa anyway. looks like an update lo mac engine...not an Il2 engine.
  16. Can i stop drolling now ? :D
  17. Good call on the MOBO, i had already suggested that, but from what have been sayd, its not related. So far the MOBO reported are Intel lga 775, I5, I7 compliant. No amd, most of them I5 and some I7.
  18. The answear is no for hard bricking it doesn t work.
  19. What about objectives, war theater etc... Delivering ammo and bombs like a fool because there no "why" is pointless as having military materiel in a civilian simulation. Its fun for 10 second then it borresss
  20. I think we still need at least one decade and a half before that. Well yes it would be great if the world doesn t goes Fubar before that, because its worsening... and its gonna guet nasty.
  21. Future for cockpit buildng will be great. In some years we ll have "flexible" monitors giant size and will be able to do a full "bubble"( for the most entusiast), probably with 3D implemented (right), over some way faster internet conexion(i hope). Then you better not suffer from nausea and the like. Gonna be near heaven!
  22. LOL unplug your PC and other cherrished eletrical devices first....in case it fails. +1 for remembering me much of electricity (and way beyond) stuff i usually ignore those days. Your explanation of geological change affecting ground wire is perfect for basic understanding. Another thing people must be aware, most electrical artifacts aren t protected from reverse surge from Ground wire.(nothing is supposed to come from there) SO, if you have a ground wire, its better be good. Because if it doesn t fries something on the spot, it will slowly eat the components. I worked with POS in comercial establishments, and had to rear slap more than one owners because they worked with heavyly spiking machines, (like industrial fridges, electrical pans and ovens) and many didn t build up separated energy circuit for more subtle electrical devices, or built a ground wire for all establishment without checking the soil property changes, and neither installed nobreaks or other protective devices. The result are things that shouldn t cook ending more than raw because when the current try to adjust from a spiking demand, it gives a surge, the heavy machinery being protected, it send the surpluss trough the ground wire, but as soil has become resistent(less conductive), part of the surge is sent back to the unprotected ground wire of the equipments plugged in the same ground net (or worse i ve seen neutral giving me 45 V from bad electricity instalations). For heavy machinery there s not much problem, but PSU, small AC/DC converters and such devices really don t like it. Result, is silent damage up to fried silicon which ain t very edible... So the rules would be: 1) if you can ground wire your equipment, 2) If you ground wire ask for checking on resistance soil property each 2 years (unless there s a lignthing strikes, or you work with heavy machinery.) or check the quality of the grounding each year at least. 3) Whatever you do, a nobreak or line filter protected from ground surge is a very good idea. (Usually those claiming protection from lightning (or with phone plugs) strikes are protected, and is they aren t the no break will end up taking the major hit, which end up protecting your equipment in some way.) Druid if you want to be sure you re grounding is good, unplug first check if you have current return on your third wire (the one supposed to be ground one (check to see if your not working on triphase first, because then it ll be neutral + 2 positive - only 220-330v can be triphase)). Then unplug all the wires from your case (all inclusive monitor), take your multireader: red on your case black on the ground hole, multireader on AC/DC weakest setting, should never read above 0,01. Then go plugging and checking each one device separately, and keep checking the case - ground current. If all is plugged and it doesn t goes above 0.01 then your ok. If it goes above 0.01 the you got something short circuited and freeing current, and you should check what s happening.
  23. So far people seems to love it, just Vullcan having toe break issues...
  24. I find awesome people find normal to be treated as laboratory rats. AFAIK i don t treat my customers as rat labs, am i wring doing this ?
