Damn meandering FI convo....

Loosecannon- I'd do Thrustmaster. Yes, it's a little pricey, but it wont crack in half when you get a little pissed in "Spitz vs. 109's". I've had CH pedals for four years now; they're sturdy and reasonably priced (100.00 U.S.) HOTAS is indispensable once you practice it- you'll be autopil...

Book Review: The Chianti Raiders

The "Spaghetti Bombers" were in Belgium in the fall of 1940, and Il Duce logged more than 17,000 hours of flight; it's the dribs and drabs of history that are of interest. "The Chianti Raiders", by Peter Haining, Robson Books, 2005, London. BR.M20 bombers, G.50's and CR.42 biplan...

I FEEL FUNNY.....

From 120 planesets to flying the Defiant? or how about a Lysander? Pretty clouds just dont seem enough, frankly. Will Oleg push it for X-mas, festooned with bugs, then more patches for 2008?

.....Rabbit out of the hat, it seems. I've already installed NVIDIA 8800 GTS's, as the 7800's could'nt support my monitor (that's what Gateway told me). I'm not expecting sainthood, but I just wanted to pass on some tech to FI gents who I know would appreciate said wires/chips/fans..~S~ Plus, I don'...

GENTS~ I have two SLI NVIDIA 7800 gtx video cards; the only thing they need is a card link connector, which I believe would be very cheap to buy. The cards are used (me) but in great condition. Retail on these is around $300.00 U.S. But I am willing to sell to any FI mate for much less. PM me if you...

Good to hear, A.B.

I did read a related story (cant remember book) about Hitler youth/werewolves that proved Bavarian resistance lasted well past 1947!!! unimaginable. Not to mention the hordes of refugees moving through Europe. Enjoy the read! ~S~
