Serious?:huh: LoL no I haven't, will try that tomorrow :D Sure hope your aren't pulling my leg, lol ;) I'm not used to all these perks on the Eagle :smartass:, I need time to get accustomed to them. :book: RvE, Awesome work all around :beer: S! Makes me want to fly more online. Watch out the Moose is Back, lol :D ;) Cheers

Good work on the IFF for the Eagle, :thumbup: That itself is awesome :D

By the way RvE thanks for your continued attempts to try to make online MP better then it presently is. I’ll try your server when I have a chance. Cheers

I’m not disputing the obvious bugs with the current status. I’m just implying that the tone of this poll is either you choose this mod or you’re not good enough. Which makes no sense at all. Who would want to vote saying feeling less equal then… Well you have 7. The tone of this pole is more subjective then objective. Just making a statement that the results cannot really represent a real picture. That is all. Regards

IMO You should had inserted a "No. I prefer to fly as the way it was meant to be flown by ED until a possible future release of a patch" instead of yours. That might have yielded more accurate results then given the only choice of being "Threatened" = Feeling lesser equal then…

Playing around, http://www.leductech.com/test2.wmv :music_whistling:

Yep. I have the full movie "Chevalier du ciel" I have the extra footages on dvd as well. Very good movie :thumbup:

Newer VLC player is out, I highly recommend it for vista business users without a DVD movie player. Open source, got to love it :megalol: It's Free http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html Cheers

Kind of makes you wounder:smilewink: A recent major class action lawsuit that was brought against both Nvidia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia and ATI for conspiring to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize prices of graphics processing chips and cards may soon be coming to a resolution. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Nvidia-ATI-lawsuit-antitrust,6421.html

Please allow your current FC vista customers a chance. Upgrade FC to DX9.1. The current DX8.x version is just too unstable under Vista.

It's your opinion and I respect it, let’s see how the future unfolds itself. I never said that one was worst then the other. But let’s see how the future grabs and hold on the market place, "shares" and such. Who will be on TOP? Nvidia still is today, but tomorrow, who knows... They held the crown for so long, only now ATI has brought something to compete with Nvidia. Still, they come to an arm length, but most games nvidia is still on top in regards of single card frame rates, not comparing SLI or Crossfire since I don’t have either. As a consumer, both products are awesome and arguments are bias on personal emotions, my Dad is better than yours and such. Both offers technology that surpasses both our own understanding on the capability they offer. I have no argument; both are good, it's a personal choice. Mine is Nvidia, yours is ATI. I'm fine with that... As a consumer, it's not only what better performs, but what is the better bang for the $. I choose to went to the extreme and go with what Nvidia had to offer for a top dog. My choice & my budget... To each his own. Best regards,

The trailer is awesome, but I'm not a big fan on black and white. Doing so seems your hiding something... lol

Is HL required for online for DCS? Basically for crowd to gather up, Chat and create sessions. Is there a partnership between both parties? I know FC offers MP session via IP only. But any upgrade in this area for DCS? I heard you will have 2nd executable for MP online, will this include server setups? Chatting area? Etc… I personally would prefer that MP Sessions would be supplied in game. Not that we have not receive awesome service from HL. But I would think that DCS should start by thinking on its own in this area. Gamespy has been providing developers this opportunity for many years with many games. Has ED though about joining this type of endeavor for multiplayer? Can anyone shed some light in this area of DCS? Thanks in advance

No major differences from 177.92 beta's. But all good. Lockon is all smooth no cloud bug so far. Crysis still runs like a gem ;) COD4 looks as awesome as it always did. According to http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=274455 Vista 64Bit users seems to benefit from this version. Well for Vista 32Bit users like me. No differences in performance from the previous beta version they had. Give them a try and share your feedback. Cheers

I'm running with and LCD 24" Samsung syncMaster 245bw. Native resolution of 1920x1200 Not the most expensive one, but it does the job very well, until I save up for a 42"Aqua from sharp like my brother did. As for performance for sim, well as for sim goes, FSX with AA all maxed out, for IL2 that was maxed out couple of generation cards ago. Lockon Maxed out as well. But lockon is more cpu intensive then it is for GPU. But Lockon does run much nicer and smoother compared to my 8800GTS that I had previously. I got this GTX280 for bragging rights for Crysis :music_whistling: it is also maxed out now on DX10 on my native resolution with AA enable. NOT perfect I admit. I dont have a big Blue as a PC, but now it is very enjoyable at max settings. No need to tweak here and there. Basically no lag. Also what I love about this card is that Nvidia is pushing Cuda very nicely with developers. Like lately Adobe users will be able to profit more on the GPU technology. Here’s an article on it. http://www.internetnews.com/hardware/article.php/3773856/Adobe+nVidia+Work+to+Speed+Up+Apps.htm This one about Partnership With MotionDSP http://www.emediaworld.com/press_release/release_detail.php?id=185127 This one about CyberLink PowerDirector Adds NVIDIA CUDA Technology http://www.i4u.com/article20504.html Many more… As mention previously you can’t go wrong with Nvidia. As you can see it has many other aspect and implications or applications. As for “Marketing” well, that’s a means to an end. Nevertheless ATI will have their own partners as they will advance very quickly on the market place because of this gem that they brought out. Competition is good for all of us. If it wasn’t for ATI I would have paid 750$ Instead of 500$ for my GTX280. So thanks ATI :thumbup: :D

I just went to Nvidia. There's a big banner stating that Nvidia and Adobe are creatively partnered. So it's not only about games ;)

Google is your friend http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=vorbisfile.dll&btnG=Google+Search&meta= Have you tried that? Myself never seen that error before. Hope you can make it out.

It all depends on your budget and your intention with your old rig. If you plan only to upgrade only major components. Your DDR2 should be able to be compatible with your new motherboard. Should be sufficient for you needs, although depending on the brand you have as DDR2… I have 4Gigs of HP2-6400 Mushkin 996533, settings of 4-5-4-11 2.1V default DDR2. It has a heatsink on it. Well I think they all do know right? Anyhow, I’m satisfied with that. As for overclocking mines are very stable. Although I don’t OC, don’t have much the need at this point. They are not “cheap” they are inexpensive. Quoting a Nissan car add I saw on TV ;). lol :D

LOL I think you answered your own question. Go with DDR3 :)

NOT to start an ATI vs NVIDIA war here. But One of Nvidia credo you will definitely see in lots of games “The Way It's was Meant to be Played” Lots of developers prefer nvidia over ATI. Not because ATI just brought this new card out that all will change anytime soon. Most games, Crysis, Battlefield series, World in Conflict, so many more... There is a reason why you see the nvidia logo at the start of all these games. They are partners. Not that the ATI is bad product. But with Nvidia You can’t go wrong. I am extremely very happy with my GTX280. I’ve been an Nvidia fan all my tech life. Not going to change anytime soon. Although I always try to keep an open mind. I have seen in the past ATI users not even able to start BF2 without having to do some manual tweaking. In my opinion most games are more optimize for Nvidia then ATI. But who knows what the future holds…It’s a never ending battle. But that battle is one I appreciate to see, as Intel vs AMD, since without competition there’s only monopoly and that equals higher prices for the consumer. They are both good products. Go with either, I’m sure you will be happy. Cheers

DX10 Shaders with Nvidia PhysX graphics with explosions. Creative Labs Fatality EAX with suround sounds capabilities. My wish is for the ultimate eye candy with the best sound capability on the market. It's a wish list after all :D

I need to change my default heat sink. Any good suggestions for air? Zalman?

Ratio is in the eyes of be beholder. 1.6 just feels too tight. The circumference of my cockpit seems arched to much for my taste. But thanks in showing me the mathematics behind it all. But in the end I`m sticking with 1.5.:)
