Flyby

Actually it's PPRuNE; "Professional Pilots Rumor Network" I thought some might find it interesting. I found the link over at SimHq. There was a thread there discussing the War for the Malvenas/Falkland war:http://www.pprune.org/military-aircrew/297920-falklands-crash-sites.html There's also a forum there for rotorheads. Well, here's the link to the main forum page. Good hunting!:D http://www.pprune.org/ Flyby out

Woodstock, it can fly like that?

oh Hell yes!!!! nice one hitman!:thumbup:

Man is that dark DARK!!! :shocking: you guys are havin all the fun! :beer: I can hardly wait until I get permission from the Warden to start buying some components for my new system. Come oooonnnnnn June!:D Flyby out ps looks like ronht is becoming master mission builder (which bodes well for the BS community. ;) )

cool pix, guys :) Flyby out

yeah! get online!! Masonator, you'll never be sorry for flying online. I've met people from all over the world while flying IL2 online. I'm in Ohio, but the first online squadron I ever flew with was based out of Romania (go mighty D13_th!). Those guys helped me immensely. If you want great immersion and a sense of community, there's nothing like being online, and talking friends over comms. Besides that, it's a great way to learn about a particluar sim, and to learn teamwork (if you join a squad). Flying offline with AI is one thing, but it will never compare to the richness of the experience of flying with "breathers". Someone will be glad to help you get sorted out once you're online. So give it a try. Don't be shy in asking for help if you need it. Next thing you know, you'll be paying it forward one day by helping some new guy get sorted out on line.:thumbup: Now be sure to tell us how your online experiences are going. GET MOVING, PILOT!!!:pilotfly: Flyby out

damned nice rig! Test! Test!! Test!!! obtw, what monitor ya usin? rez? my wife makes me pick up beer cans off the highway to raise money for a new system. I'd be at it for two years before I had enough to duplicate your system, Prophet (the wife gets a cut of every bag I bring home.:D) Flyby out

another monitor site a good monitor site: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ Flyby out (again?):D

great screens, Viper. One can feel death hanging in the air! :D Flyby out

wolfast, you and Zorrin should team up provided he does not go "BOOM!!" :D Yeah, I know. Wait and see how I do. But I'm suicidal anyway, so crashes won't count! Flyby out

hi Wolfast, in that last screen how'd you get the shark to roll over and play dead?:smartass: great screens for a first post! Thanks!:thumbup: Flyby out

over at SimHq http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2625132/SimHQ_Announcement_Presenting_.html#Post2625132 :thumbup: something else about this sim to make us drool involuntarily.;) Flyby out

Mason(ator) nice shots all around. "The Hunter" is particularly menacing. ;) JM, it's tuff tit for the insurgents if I ever get airborne. Honest, what card are you looking to upgrade to? Flyby out

why not introduce her as "Candy-the-attack-poodle"? Or as "Candy, the Leaping Nut Cracker!" :eek: Well...maybe it's a bit more of a challenge than I first thought. Maybe your mom will let you get a Rott? Anyway, if we're lucky some enterprising soul will market the manual if he can get a deal on volume. Maybe someone will host a group buy?:music_whistling:

nice shots Masonator. hey JM what's gonna happen to those insurgents?

Honest(ly) that's a nice shot! ;) Flyby out

take a Rottweiler in there with you. Bet you get great service, no bitchy females from Hades, and don't have to bribe your sister!:smartass:

well take some time off. fly a little. kill a little. die a little. then when inspiration hits you again, make another movie. Interesting bit about where the title came from. ;) Flyby out.

perhaps but... I can offset the cost by plucking the eyeballs from mongrel dogs and selling their corneas for implants. Then to celebrate my good fortune I'll saute their livers in a fine red port!;) are you 20-20 my good man?:D

Cobra, you do have style! You tell a very good story too. I hope you'll have time to produce more movies in the future. I look forward to your next efforts. Flyby out

Uber ultra-high end PC? That's a Nehalem system, in my thinking. I'll be lucky to get the wife to go along with a P45 chipset, and a powerful single-GPU card. Any sort of quad will be a dream for me!:lol: I'd have to wait until this time next year to afford i7 system unless mobos and tri-channel ram drop in prices. I hope Gigabyte comes out with a moderate or low end X58 mobo that overclocks decently. I can see paying for an i7-920, but the other stuff is just too expensive for me now.:( Don't get mer started!:P

it also shows how much one can get from a dual core E8500. Since I'll be building from scratch I'm looking at a different dynamic. For me, Nehalem does not yet seem to be the best upgrade for a purely gaming rig just now, particularly at the popular gaming resolutions (1600x and higher). For my limited $$ building a gaming rig from scratch is probably better served with other than the X58 chipset for now. But m y build is still a ways off, and maybe X58 mobo prices will drop (tri-channel ram too). We'll see. Meanwhile, hitman, I truly await your performance report on your new system running Black Shark (with plenty of AI stuff, and explosions going on :) )

here's an article on i7 and gaming follow the link and see what HardOCP thinks. Post any other links you may find, please. Pay particular attention to the testing of the three CPUs with Far Cry2. I think the scaling tells the story. http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTU4MCwsLGhlbnRodXNpYXN0

HV, I've also read some of those articles. I tend to believe them for the most part, but I'm trying to keep an open mind until someone (cough**hitman!***cough) reports on how the i7 performs in combat flight sims since my next build will be almost purely for that purpose.

Whatever you do, hitman, please let us know how BS runs on your i7 system. With that memory you've selected I guess you'll be able to overclock the 920 to 3.8 np. But if you want to water-cool the processor what is your ghz goal?
