FANTASTIC! I only hope that you're Emergency Services are equally fantastic :music_whistling: Tom

Anyone else wanna get their name in the hat for this great prize??

My TMWH is performing SUPERBLY and I can definately say that it's improved my control of the aircraft (and therefore the controlled launching of weapons). Only thing that I DESPERATELY miss is the X52's stick-rudder :-(

Boy, sorry to hear you're having probs so soon mate. Hopefully, it's just a one-off. What serial number is yours? I'm in the 400's.

Gizza look!

Good call Slayer! :thumbup:

Just noticed that some of the switchgear on the throttle have a "cap" on top of them and some don't. The only difference I can see is that the "capped" switches are 3-way whereas the "naked" ones are 2-way. No big deal, but it just stood out to me immediately (and bugged me if I'm honest) :music_whistling:

......yeah, like she won't notice THAT!!!

Cheers Cooch, Bonedust. :thumbup:

Dammit, I already used that one when I "won" a Canon G11 camera LOL. These magazine competitions are soooooo easy aren't they?? :-) Now then, what material can I use to make the Hotas look old?? Maybe a layer of Windolene would work?

All we need now is a DCS Beta update to be released tonight and we'll all be in Heaven! :-)

Oh, and it is!! :P Sorry, can't help myself. Actually, having unpacked it, I now realise that there's NO FECKIN WAY she's gonna fall for this. It'll be like swapping the portable telly over for a 60" Plasma and telling her it was "always there". :helpsmilie:

Hahahahaha fantastic Coolts. Mission Success then! :megalol: and me................ TM LOVE Just arrived at work :-) EDIT: Actually, because my initials are TM, I guess it should be "TM LOVIN TM"

:thumbup: :lol: :thumbup:

Hahaha, nice one. I've just spoken to the City Link courier on his mobile (I know him) and the awkward sod said he would be dropping it off later this afternoon. He said he'd flung it around a bit in the back of the van to maintain his reputation as a courier driver LOL.

GREAT MISSION (though I got killed through flying too low)!!! I hadn't realised that I was going to need a startup, so I was late departing (couldn't find my startup-procedures quickly enough) LOL. I could do with writing a macro that will complete the SU at the touch of a button :-))

I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist! :music_whistling: Just looked on City Link's website and it says that my TMWH is at the Manchester depot ready to be brought to my works address today, in a Humvee :)

Thanks for that. Was just reading a review on two HD5870's in crossfire and they said that whilst performance was pretty blistering, so too was the temperature inside the case! Think I might leave it for now, since I have no real performance issues in DCS:A-10C.

Hey Blaze, did you add the second video card straight away or did you install both at once? Reason I ask, is that I wanted to know what difference you noticed having the two cards in Crossfire Mode as opposed to a single card in there.

Don't know about you, but I just love those fancy Demos which show off the capabilities of your graphics cards. One of my faves was the "HEAVEN 1.0" demo from Unigine. I run it at 1920x1080 with everything maxed out and DX11 - it looks amazing! If you haven't seen it, download it and see how you fare. Mind you, Unigine have much more up to date demos available now. I'm just in the process of downloading HEAVEN V2.1. Update: Got the 2.1 demo.....

Respect, Coolts! lol

DAMN! Sorry to hear that Kiezer. Don't be slitting your wrists mate :megalol:. But if you do, here's some salt to rub into the wounds....
