  1. Have a look at some of the EVGA boards and graphics cards... they are nice units; designed for the enthusiasts
  2. the point of "camouflage", in the real world, was to confuse that very thing
  3. nooo Yurgon... JJ Abrams did the series a huge favour by rebooting it, (it had nowhere to go and was stale) and he did a brilliant job doing it but, for the fond of heart...
  4. Have patience, and that will be rewarded... the best time to pull the cake out of the oven, is when it is properly cooked. Then it has to be allowed to cool, then iced and decorated. It will be worth the wait ;)
  5. One of these stuck outside, with a long flexi-hose running in to the PC case :) (We use them on film sets all the time for cooling the CGI units)
  6. can do it on a standard Warthog Hotas... just takes learning to trim/ throttle properly, and using just finger tips to guide the stick
  7. the problem with "simulating the world" is in all those trees and buildings, hitboxes and collisions detection (FSX found this out the hard way)
  8. I'm sure a true "3D word view" would make an immense difference (easier to gauge better as to just where that dang nozzle is, and relative position to the tanker's/ cockpit line up points), but only partially considering no real world feeling of what the back end of the plane is doing being available, as yet. there's a difference to being able to actually feel the plane drop, so click up and feeling the plane rise, so click down and only being able to see it - there's a time lag... so the flyer has to able to pre-empt that, those visual clues. the trick is to line up to the tanker and let the nozzle drop in, but its in the getting to the and holding that right position
  9. In the interests of Fair Play... the games should be tweaking to the driver ( of which, the driver needs to be up to scratch for cutting edge) not the driver to the game
  10. Two things are missing in flying a sim, any sim atm... that of the "flying by the seat of the pants" and accurate depth perception. hardware wise, its in the quality of stick being used, bearing in mind most desktop sticks are way shorter than their rl counterpart,... meaning a small movement on the dt stick equals a largish movement on a long in sim stick. So , what you do, is just learn to use to guide the stick using only your finger tips (the MS FB stick was great for this) You need to learn how to trim for level flight properly (this involves throttle setting and flap setting, for getting it right), with the refuel flap open before getting anywhere near the refueller. Nice and gentle will get you a lot further than trying to adjust for the gyrations, when on connection... the hard part is getting it into the slot first
  11. Love it
  12. No, it's not a "Windows" problem... its a problem specific to the user's set up, otherwise everybody else would be getting it - and just like the Phantom Agents (60's tv series), a full disc scrub/ Op. Sys. reinstall is a last resort A BSOD is a hardware glitch
  13. Hitboxes...
  14. yeah... that's a hard one. Do they (Avira) offer a full blown paid service?
  15. Doesn't worry me one way or the other :)
  16. http://www.samsung.com/za/consumer/computing-peripherals/monitors/led-monitors/LS27D590CS/XA?previewMode=admin
  17. Looking real pretty ED Team... kudos
  18. entertainment riggers to the call http://abc7chicago.com/entertainment/german-ww2-plane-spruced-up-for-3-d-scan/513624/ so guys... if you're up for it, get in there while she is on the ground :)
  19. the sim was designed for a certain FoV and as soon as the user attempts to change from that, the distortions will introduce
  20. does this http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6484813 help? perhaps http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/Lorenz%20system%20article.htm http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/navaids%20images/SYR%20Lorenz%20ext%2044.JPG http://www.airwaysmuseum.com/navaids%20images/EN%20Lorenz%20tower%20150.jpg http://www.nonstopsystems.com/radio/hellschreiber-modes-other-hell-brnhrd.htm
  21. ain't touching this one with a barge pole...
  22. we've had enough from "government" of "its only a cup of coffee, or its only the cost of a milkshake or a burger, for anything along those lines from civilian street to offer up to come across as genuine
  23. yeah well... the steam train wasn't going to get very far either ;)
  24. Things are tested as much as they can be, then released "into the wild" (so to speak) whereupon, more bugs are found and squashed. If everybody was "testing" the same situation would still result
