  1. I hope i'll beat Topol to it: Hope you don't mind the turnsteal, but i was think this is a nice question :)
  2. You just convinced me to prioritize the Trackir purchase :)
  3. Perfect as well, the only important thing is that the room you're using it in is completely dark. otherwise the contrast is gone.
  4. Trackir is somegthing for the future :) The beamer is an Acer X1160, a DLP projector with an 800 X 600 resolution. I have been using it for quite some time now, and havent encountered any of the drawbacks i was afraid of. When using it with my Xbox 360, i have never noticed any framerate issues, and the beamer converts the HD signal from the console into a super sharp image. As For DCS, i really don't see when people spend 300 dollars for a 24" display when they can buy this setup for around 450 :) As for the heat, i have never overheated it, even after using it for 5+ Hours. Speaking of hours, the lamp is rated for 3000 hours. After almost a year, i have racked up about 750 hours. which is an avarage of 2 hours.
  5. I wasn't able to find a thread about this topic, So i'd like to start one! Below is a picture of my setup: it consists out of a Medion PC, upgraded with an 8800 gts. For input i use a Saitek X52 mounted to my chair with some custom brackets. The main feature of this setup is an Acer Beamer, that displays an 62 inch picture on the screen.
  6. I wonder how the aerodynamics are affected by this massive hole...:joystick:
  7. I might have to (partially) correct you on that one, The EH-101 Merlin is made by Augusta-westland, which is a british / italian company. :music_whistling:
  8. Hello fellow Captains! The name is Tikkietegek, which is quite difficult to understand for the english spealing pilots (which is the biggest part, but anyway) because it is dutch (just like yours truly) I am relatively new to serious flight sims, but it is a perfect way of combineing my personal interests in aviation and computer games. So after buying the game i also bought an X52 Flight stick and took off!!! Of course, this is sarcastic, because a proper take off will take me some time to acomplish :P but i'm having a lot of fun trying! :) Anyway! I have taken the liberty to promote myself from forum lurker to junior member, and hope to learn a lot about the game, and connect to other, hopefully more expierienced, pilots! Happy landings! -Tikkietegek
  9. IMHO The Catalina is definitely a beauty Speaking of ugly Copters: The Sikorsky H-19
  10. Most beautiful(and the largest) cargo plane - An-225 A stunning british V bomber And not that beautiful, but still a very impressive helicopter
