  1. Hrmmm ... Antec is still not the source... Antec usually OEM s through Enhance... Still ok though, you've already ordered it so just roll with it. About the 800w culprit... There are no comparisons on pure wattage alone, there 850w PSU's that are crap and 850w PSU's that are awesome. All has to do with Capacitors used, PCB finish, Design of course... blah blah blah Enjoy that new rig.... will be awesome!
  2. Cool stuff... What are they taking the chip too? 3.0Ghz? The only thing I'm seeing is the CPU options down the line. You'll be golden for 2+ years but it would be nice if the Bad Axe 2 will support Penryn and Wolfdale CPU's when they come out... confirm that. and ditto on the Killer Nic Card... I have seen a couple of reviews that slam it. I would go Vista... and everyone I have been talking to says 2 Gigs of Ram is enough to run it. One last thing, im suspicious of the Velocity Micro Brand 1200w power supply... Not by an account of its awefulness... It's just I have never heard of it... Try to grab the underwriters limited (UL) number and we can see who the OEM maker is for Velocity Micro PSU's... not that thats a sure fire indicator of its quality but it's a good starting point. Another thing, 1200w is a HUGE amount of power. Not that you'll be drawing that from the wall... but the thing with PSU's is that you want to match your PSU to a sweet spot of efficiency for what your system will be drawing through it. A 1200w power supply could be 77% efficient in your system, while a 750w PSU could be 85% efficient... That difference can add up in utility bills and your green psyche ...lol Here's an example of what I am talking about... http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=107&page_num=3
  3. I have generally trained myself to peruse but not obsess over the lines in the "mega" threads... you know, the ones where someone asks one question and 30 pages later nothing is solved. Given this context of Wetas, it again brings me to one thought. It's not a surprise to have one tweakable model for each plane or missile, but it does detract from the general notion that a (any) sim maker can't change something because the data cant be certain... Why cling to grand statements about accuracy when the fundamental core of missile X and missile Y has merely been tweaked from a baseline model? In a secret world I would think it best to read between the aggregate lines of what knowledgeable people are telling you (and certain cyber space slip ups)... I know some of them and you do too... I'd encourage ED as well Weta... One thing though, I use all planes, and I would like to see what I am relatively certain of, be seen in the sim. Those are expectations that aren't so "great." Feel free to chime in, I could be wrong... lol... I feel I have just jumped into a thread that will be ... hrmmmmm... somewhere in the range of 15 pages. :D
  4. That tank is friggen sweet.... I wanna own one
  5. Whatcha gonna get? Quad Core Q6600 GO stepping (Go to NCIX US) Asus P5K-D (use 311 or 501 Bios) PC-8500 Rams Thermalright Ultra-120x and Lap it 2900xt or 8800gts
  6. Hahaha I did that one time with Striker.... He was on my wing and I got uber stupid down low... I crashed and a second later he crashed. Seriously though.... Chinese Airforce Cadets vs. The World ... It would be awesome! :D
  7. Pffffffffffft! That was funny :D "Gentleman.... warm up your X45's, load the state profile and hit "fly"" Holy smokes.... I'm going to talk to 159th_Fudd, we have to get them in the next RedFlag lol .... 5 to 1 says we win! lol
  8. I hope you're right Groove, however reading things like the article below make me wonder. While this certainly isn't an outline of ED's position it does give some insights to what their (and anyone else's) challenges are. Very interesting, read the entire thing, I may make a separate post. http://www.firingsquad.com/features/killing_game_development/
  9. Ah man thats sweet.... About the launching mechanisms... ditto to what everyone else said. Also, if there were any compatibility problems it would be nothing for them to swap out some new parts on the catapult... A visit like this would be planned and well anticipated Cool stuff...
  10. 26kb? ... my x52 regular one is 192kb... It is indeed a pain to make a new one, but its really worth the end result! :)
  11. Can we get back to giving FF a hard time for being misunderstood? LOL Nahhhh I think the website was some garden variety web crawler that hit a soft spot in our web site. The Nigerian Government has been informed.... and the next Red Flag will be a dry run of the actual attack to come next month.... we're going to hack the predator B squadron and take out some telecomm inter changes around Lagos.... :blow: ok ill stop now
  12. Yeh Canuck we talked that one day on Ventrilo.... but the numbers are pretty strong, so no repositioning of the time. You'll be there for RF4 though I hope ;)
  13. Yep.... and this movie is fricken sweetzorz.... nellen_mellen needs to keep on it
  14. HA! That Digital F-18 is Awesome.... I'd love to see more of the Digital pattern
