Oh yea, for sure they wanted him alive, that would of been a great trophy for the US, but having him dead serves the same purpose so in the end it works out the same. But alive would of been the more preferable outcome, but alas everyone knew he wasnt gunna be taken alive.

I find the way that Obama told the world how he died was funny. He said that "Bin Laden, AFTER a firefight was killed", not killed during the firefight, but AFTER. you better believe they took him out once they had captured him :)

Lol, I would rep you if it would let me, but it doesnt...

So, do we now change his last name ? to Osama's Bin Killed :)

Ok, I know its old stuff but its hard to get hold of good ddr for cheap nowadays. I have 4x512mb sticks totalling 2 gig in total of Great Extreme low latency DDR 400 memory pc3200. They have timings of 2-3-2-5 and will run at 1t no problem if your motherboard supports it, otherwise 2t will do instead. As I say being able to find the good ddr is hard nowadays, the value kind is everywhere but the good stuff isnt and if you do come across any the price usually reflects the fact that their isnt much on the market. I will sell these for 30 quid if anyone wants them, maybe for a second pc ? I dunno, but they are all fully functional and work great and have never been overclocked. £30 is my asking price if anyone wants to get jiggy with it. I know that nobody is probably gunna be wanting them, but since I came across them the other day I thought i would try and sell them before I threw them out since I no longer have any kit left that uses ddr.

That pic you saw is fake Pilotasso, well its fake if its the same headshot pic that everyone else is showing, as that pic was faked up when Bush was prez.

Here's me thinking he was hiding in the whitehouse. How wrong I was.

Yea, the x52 non pro version will do perfectly well, infact I think they are great sticks, a little on the light side but apart form that it is great for flight sims and with a good profile it becomes even better. Their is no real differences regarding the 52 and 52 pro, a couple things here and there but nothing that really seperates them and nothing that makes the 52pro worth the extra expense. I have one, I use the warthog now but I think my warthog throttle needs to be sent back so I will be relying on my trusty vanilla x52 to get me through the rma period.

I have noticed that with the leds enabled, the slider THR_FC thingy will jump back and forth between settings, not much but enough to cause problems ingame, especially if I have zoom mapped to it, as it will then auto zoom in and out a little touch by itself constantly. If the leds are disabled then no such problem exists, its obviously interference coming from the led's/led power wires, but it is annoying and something I wouldnt of expected with something that cost so much. I am in touch with thrustmaster atm to see what can be done, but after telling them I am using the latest firmware and the latest target, they told me to install the latest target and make sure I am using the latest firmware, huh, I already told them I was in my email. Anyway, I will go through the rigmaroll of reinstalling target and doing what they said in the email and then I will reply to them, but I have a feeling that unless I wanna keep my throttle but never have the leds enabled I will have to send it back to them to get fixed.

A new firmware was released last night ? I just checked so I could upgrade and its the same firmware version thats been available for the last month and a half, versions 20-11. Is that the version you are speaking about or do you have a later version ?

I have the combat rudder pedals from saitek and I think they are great, they work perfect for me and my flying has improved 10 fold because of them. I would advise anyone who hasnt got pedals to check them out, you wont regret it.

I would sell my right nut to fly in a prowler or a A6 Intruder, those are amongst my fav aircraft.

A f15 and a mig25 both hit 100k+ feet in years gone by, 114k feet for the mig25. The f15 was the uber stripped down streak eagle version dedicated to breaking records and the mig25 had uprated engines, I dont know if it was also modified to gain extra height, it probably was also stripped down to make it lighter. But those are crazy heights for real Aircraft, supposedly the streak eagle was faster than the apollo rocket getting to 50k feet. Also a english electric lightning intercepted a U2 at its working height and also intercepted and passed concorde from astern when concorde was going supersonic across the ocean to america, supposedly at the time the only nato aircraft that was capable of such a thing, as no other aircraft including the f15 could intercept concorde from the rear when it was going supersonic, I think the highest the lightning could get to was 90k feet before its engines started to pack up. Really crazy power thats contained in these jet engines.

Is their any word regarding the release of the printed manual for DCS A10C ? I am going nuts here alt -tabbing in and out of game, what makes it worse is sometimes my game shows uber graphical anomalies when alt tabbing and for me the manual cant come soon enough, as I loved the shark manual and cant wait for the a10 version. So is their any ETA regarding the manual or is it a case of "when its ready"?

If i forgo the computers before my amiga a500, if i forget about them then the first decent sim I flew was FA18 Interceptor circa 1986

FFS, I bought mine today for 49 bux, and got taxed 9 bux ontop. came to 35 quid all in, but this is BS cutting the price hours later. faggots for doing this to me.

I have similar system to succellus but with 280gtx and I run the game on max settings no problem, you should have no problems power5, maybe not everythign on max, but most things I would think. lovely game, also the same people made Wings of Prey, which is another wonderful looking game, with excellent ground graphics, why oh why IL2 CoD didnt use those guys or even use the same engine for the ground is unknown to me, as IL2 guys did help them model wise for wings of Prey, they made the aircraft models for them. Getting back to RoF, dam its crazy, the foker d1 has crazy lift and since no planes ave trim, its a never ending fight to keep things straight and level unless you use the level autopilot, I just have to figure out a good curve for my warthog so that I am not constantly fighting the aircraft. Anyone got any good ideas for a decent pitch response curve for the warthog for RoF ?

Lots of great info here, thanks alot everyone, you have all been most kind in my hour of need. Cheers ;)

Yea oritpro I already have slight ulnar nerve problems, my pinky and the finger next to it curl in on both hands and go numb sometimes, it isnt bad, mostly happens when i am sleeping and also happens when I am leaning on my elbow and have my face in my palm and staring at the monitor, but the carpal tunnel problem is new and alot sorer than the ulnar nerve problem, everytime I touch anything with my thumb or forefinger, it feels like I am jabbing a pin to it, even the slightest of touches. Doc did say to me awhile ago that he could inject steroids into the elbow for the ulnar problem, but I took a pass as somehow I didnt fancy an injection in that particular place of my body since it doesnt affect me much. I will say tho that the pills and the rest do seem to be helping, as it doesnt seem to be as sharp a pain as it was at the begining of the week, so if I was a betting man I would say that if it keeps up at this rate, I should be back to normal within a month. :pilotfly:

Yea, no way do I want an operation. My neighbour had an operation on both hands due to the same thing a few years ago and she said that it made it 100% worse and both her hands are now constantly numb and with a pins and needles like feeling, it wasnt nearly as bad before she got her op, so thats the last thing I want. I got diclofex, diclofenac sodium NSAID tablets to take for a month from the doc, heres hoping that the 2 week rest and the tablets will sort it all out for me so I can be back to flying pain free in a couple of weeks time, even using the keyboard is hurting now, so I reckon its a 2 week breather from the pc aswell.

I was looking earlier on at what junk I have kicking about and I came across two black adjustable speaker stands, basically a thin tube with a flat top on it that can hold speakers and a U shaped base. Soo, I have decided after some quick testing to see if it would fit and be comfortable, I have decided to drill 4 holes in the top surface of the speaker stand, its only 3mil thick metal, drill them 4 holes and then take the base off the warthog and then screw the stick to the speaker stand and have it between my legs. It works, but will take time getting used to the new style. I will also need to position the throttle on the second stand, as if I move the stick to the central position, then their is no way I can leave the throttle on the desk where it is atm, as it just wouldnt be comfortable to fly like that as it would be to far away to reach without stretching. So I will give both stick and throttle a try on the speaker stands and if it works out, cool. If it doesnt work out then it looks like I will have to go the route bad crc has, having the stick to the side, should that and the 2 weeks rest fail, then its either an operation to cure it or to give up flying altogether and see if it gets better on its own. I aint giving up flying no matter what, so fingers crossed that it either goes away after a couple weeks rest and the new positioning stops it from coming back, or an op cures it so I dont have to worry about it anymore, I am praying for the former solution to do the trick. Cheers for the love :thumbup:

2 weeks ago I started to get tingling feeling in my stick hand, like pins and needles in the thumb, and forefinger and nerve pain in my palm. I just got back from the doctor today, he told me it is carpal tunnel syndrome caused by my love of flying with the warthog hotas :( He told me to stop flying for a few weeks to see if it heals, if not an operation can treat it, but its not always succesful and in some cases can make the situation worse. So, now I have 2 options, option A, is rest my hand for a few weeks and dont fly and see if it gets better, if it does then I will find a lower position for the stick so that my wrist isnt being compressed, so that hopefully it doesnt happen again or option B, sell my warthog and go back to using a smaller stick or god forbid stop flying entirely. I am gutted, truly gutted. I think having it lower down and possibly centred mounted between the legs would fix the problem, but i dont know. So, is their anyone else out there who has started to get nerve pain in their hand due to the warthog ??? or am I the only unfortunate one ? My love of flying could be cut short by some stupid nerves, this is not a happy day for me :(

If your memory supports it, enable the memory XMP profile, that will auto set the ram freq and voltage for you. Since you are above 1066, then its highly probable that your ram will have atleast 1 xmp profile enabled on the ram. Your ram could easily be running at 1.5v, but once it gets maxed out it might have some problems. Best thing you can do is to enable the xmp profile if your memory have them, as that should sort out any problems you are encountering.

This game has the best engine sounds I have come across of any flight sim. Just a pity it always crashes on me :( I will make a post over at A2A when I have some free time, as I am dieing to get into this game, if only to listen to the wonderful merlin engines and the perfect 109 engines. I also noticed the funky cloud graphical errors, I would get funky rainbow colours all over, kinda like your vid card memory or core was fried, but it would happen in certain spots and at certain heights, outwith those areas it owuld be ok, but it was annoying, hopefully its the same thing we are on about. I will give this mod a try when I get around to reinstallign the game onto virtual xp, as I dont think it likes my version of windows 7 for some reason ?

Turn to a different channel other than ground crew channel. Its the same with blackshark, when linked to the ground crew, if you take off or move he will shout in your ears, because in reality he would still be chained to your plane/helo as he has to plug the headset into the aircraft. So they modelled it so that you have to change frequencies away from the ground crew freq so that he doesnt shout at you - which would resemble the ground crew unplugging his headset from your aircraft. It is not a bug.
