Thanks, I'll look for you on there. I just tried to log onto the server though (I guess I live by that mantra...) and got a "Timeout 1" message. Do you know what could've caused that?

Thanks, i think it's a Pitts S-2C. I love those airplanes. We've got one here at Embry-Riddle, but i haven't taken a ride yet.

Deuce,

Sorry 'bout the "Timeout" thing. Remember man, I'm a pilot, so I can't help you wiff the technical stuff much. I just look for the sign-off and crank the engine.

Pitts? Aw, they're all right if you want a fancy-schmansy aerobatic ride. I prefer the Piper Tomahawk. Lots more err ... excitement if you like that ~brink-of-death~ thrill. Oh yeah, and lots more rattles and groans too.

Check your firewall permissions, possibly your router too. See that "pings" are allowed on your router as well

(Same goes for Il2 and Hyperlobby)

A typical FI response to a new poster!

Lets keep things on topic guys....please.


Your thoughts again Deuce on that much neglected art wainscotting if you would be so kind? And do you walk your ferrets on your left-side....so as to protect them with your sword-arm?



Oh and Welcome ^:)

We have a custom in America. We treat our ferrets as we treat our women, and walk with them on our right to protect them from our countrymen in the street. Maybe we've got it all wrong... :lol:

Thanks, Sneaky, that seemed to work. I'm still having problems with a high ping, but that's probably because of the university's internet service :roll: Guess I'll see how things go tonight.

Indeed it is. Just today I saw a very poor example in the cafe. In fact it looked to be very hastily thrown up. Unlike the Sausage beans and chips which was very tasty and most welcome. That I'm glad to say stayed down.
