Donated! Thanks Starway...looking forward to loading this up! <S>

Great vid... ED has come along way...and more to come! I am greatful for that. Congrats to ED on the 20 years!

Donations should be a set minimum ($9.00) but no maximum. I don't know if this has been asked before..but will the content be supported by you in the future? Updates? Fixes if ED breaks it in a patch? Just thinking out loud.

I don't think anyone expected it for free. Surely I didn't. So we contribute but can't get it until the magic numbers are reached incrementally? I'm struggling with that. Wonder how long that might take? What if it goes slow. I want it now and I am sure I'm not alone. Why can't we just pay and play...so why can we not get a dl as we pay? I see a lot of people holding out to get it free. That could be problematic.

They just don't... But Olga and Helga comes to mind.

I don't know anything about this jet...What are the special demanding requirements you speak of

Congrats and Happy Birthday. Who knows what this 1st step might bring in the future. You have a great brother. Nothing better than that! :pilotfly:

Very nice! Excellent work.

These guys all have good advice. If she doesn't start first try for me, she always starts second try. If she doesn't catch after 3 or 4 turns stop or you will kill the batt. Prime her again and she should start second try.

I gladly take the pre-purchase and save a few bucks... Really don't get all the negative Bull Dung...but then that's the way the world is going now. :spam_laser: Yin-Yang

A better question might be...why do you feel compelled to do so?:music_whistling:

If you like and use Mods...what difference does it make. Not like it's Rocket Science.

So now the waiting should be close to over. Hope it doesnt take too long to set up an alternative.

There are some "Star Trek"shuttle crafts at Area 51...you just need to look hard enough. Seek and ye shall find. :music_whistling:

:megalol: :megalol:

Give it some time. You will grow to like it. Felt the same when I first upgraded from Win7. Once use to it I like it just fine. Much better than 7. I skipped 8.

Why would you use nose wheel steering when landing? Keep it off until you are ready to taxi.

Ha ha that's just wrong. I challenge you to a Guns Only fight against my P51D.

That would be cool and would add a new dimension to pilot rescue missions. The ability to pick up a pilot from the sea in a life raft would also be cool. Right now bailing over water just means you sink and die. So this is wish list stuff. Maybe one day we will see these features but priorities certainly are more important things for awhile I believe. Like the merge, maps, terrain, THE F18, Animated Carrier, Spitfire, net code, Crossfire and SLI support etc.etc. and tons I missed.

Moores Law: Number of transistors doubling every two years. As the architecture continues to shrink, Is there really ever going to be a point of diminishing return? Who knows what the future holds where tecnology continues to evolve and amaze us. Some wonder how smaller can do more, well think about the fact there are billions of transistors being placed on CPU and GPU die. That number continues to increase. Back in 2000, when Intel started making the Celerons and Pentium 4s at Fab 17 and the architecture was shrinking, they were saying we will get to 5Ghz CPUs. And even talked about reaching 10Ghz. They thought they might make this by stacking processors. But there was this little problem called heat. They hired a bunch of Thermodynanics Engineers but they could not whip the problem. But technology will continue to evolve. Can you imagine where we might be in another 10 or 20 years? Should be amazing. Building on 300mm wafers does help with the price. Most FABs are running 200 and 300mm wafers. To retool to 300mm to get more bang for the buck and drive wafer cost down requires a huge retooling effort. Semicon tools run millions of dollars each. A used implanter can go for 3 or 4 million and that does not include installation and facilitization. Not all FABs can be converted to 300mm due to building size and infrastructure. So you just have to go out and build a new Billion dollar Fab. Or just use one of the many Foundries to run your recipe for you like TSMC or Global. So the price we pay for our little toys is understandable if you really understand what is behind it. Thankfully, we are not still on 2 or 3" or even 5" wafers! Our toys would not be affordable. Oh how off topic could I get....so no I won't be buying the 1080 or anything else NVidia makes.

No just in general...poor choice of words... My weakness is dsl 20 down 5 up. I live in the boonies by choice. But I have no issues in Multiplayer large missions 20+ players.. I suppose I was thinking more about the statements that the problem is the software. Years ago there were games I could not run on the system I had. I just had to wait until I acquired the hardware that could run it. I accepted that and never thought hey the Devs should design the game to run on a spartan system. Sorry I just can't wrap my head around that way of thinking.

Interesting I do not have or never have had these issues on my meager system. So if what you say is true, then why not?

Nice to have. Falls under Wish list stuff though.

I don't think Jesus or Picard has anything to do with it. Ha!
