  1. I sincerely hope that ED can combine all of the next modules into one engine.

     

    Having to install and patch 4+ games may be a nightmare not to mention nevada/combined arms (and future upgrades) may need to be installed for each lol.

     

    That's how it should be done in the first place. Have a base, then just buy addon planes and maps, like in FSX, ROF, or any other game, for that matter. FSX works in harmony with dozens of addons, why can't dcs?

  2. Very nice and attractive but the Mustang should be in a separate simulator and with at least one competitor at that time. It would be good. :pilotfly:

     

    Such "EECH approach" would be the best, at least with WW2 planes, where there's no avionics to model/learn/handle. Cos it doesn't feel fair to pay the same for the useless old bucket as for a complex modern plane.

  3. lol, if you consider labels cheating or unrealistic, then you should delete the game forever after the first SAM got you :) IMO, labels spoil the immersion with all the text spamming the screen, but i really like the idea of glowing units and brightness of it. Or at least a square or a dot on a unit. So you know there's a unit down there, but you still have to identify it and destroy it. It's complicated even with visible units.

     

    I think there's a mod somewhere where you only get a pixel, a tiny dot that points out a unit, but no text that clutters the screen and spoiling the immersion.

     

    I'd call this approach putting the fun into fundamentalism. Where' you spare yourself the troubles (and anger, for that matter) of finding stuff and go directly to combat, but still in a highly accurate/complex sim environment.

  4. MPAA & RIAA worried about piracy? Maybe it's time for the elite corporations and banksters to start living more morally and stop stealing and screwing with people on a daily basis. When such transfers of wealth from bottom to the top happen, like with recent bailouts, internet piracy should be the least of their concern.

     

    People are getting robbed by the banks, let's censor THEM!

  5. This is coporations VS national economies. No actual shooting, we are taking with financial cruise missiles in this, in what could be called WFW I ( world financial war I) and its going to last at least as much as a real WW. So far the exchange has been pretty much one sided.

     

    I dont see people realizing this. Most of europe since 2008 still think this is a north VS south problem, PIIGS VS AAA.

     

    I fear its the AAA the next target. When will people wake up and start making decisions instead of going each for himself? gaaah!!

     

    Someone (Ahmadinejad calls them the zionist regime) wants to destroy EU morraly, culturally, financially, and racially.

  6. thanks for the tip, I'll leave the current grease then

    (I just wouldn't want to mess with washing the pieces for fear of damaging the wires, I have a bad record when it comes to be gentle with wires).

     

    However I'll go ahead and remove the main spring :)

    let's hope the four springs will be adeguate and won't wear out for a long time.

    Is anybody using washers in the end? does it detract in smoothness?

     

    thx

    L

     

    If you put four small springs to the top (if that's what you're planning), you loose much of the travel, because the ring doesn't rise to the top. I cut away some of the main spring, first the top flat turn, then another quarter, to get the resistance i wanted.

     

    IMO, you should leave the main spring in.

  7. I'm spending my days with Orbiter 2010, lots of new stuff out since last time i've played it, most important are DX9 graphics, and updated XR vessels. I've also figured out how to export MFDs to secondary display and use them with TM cougar pack. I have 4 external MFDs open and with DX9 client, no FPS loss. FPS drop was the main issue before, but now this game really flies and it's better than ever. You do need some time to collect all must-have addons, kinda like in FSX, but since everything is free, it's not such a problem.

     

    So that would be my suggestion, even though it's a space sim.

  8. Pretty much most european countries and across the pond follow the formula:

     

    Country= greece - K years :lol:

     

    No matter how much denial there is.

     

    In the case of portugal K is the smallest to match the size of the landmass. :D

     

    We're having this situation like in Gulf war i think, when the US tanks were already in Baghdad but their general goes on telly saying we'll be victorious :lol:

     

    Good job, commies :thumbup:

  10. Wise man once said

     

    " I do not know how World War III will look

    But I know that in World War 4 the Fight Will be with a bow and arrow"

     

    Butler was even wiser:

     

    "War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives."
