[Total Air War v2.0 Weekly Multiplayer Fly-in (Cancelled UFN)]

Flew with Sweeper and Eagle in today MP fly-in. Red' was there earlier, but gave some "excuse" about router trouble. But I think he was still cleaning up off falling off his chair earlier. Missed you mate!

Did some MP Custom Combat missions. Fun. Boys were nice to me and put up some Galaxy's for me to hit, but I kept darting them ...... Eagle was designing them with his usual proficiency and speed. They're good. No long ingress to the target(s) ..... can be replayed ...... can act as training missions for teaching old and new techniques.

Thanks boys,

Yeah sorry about that, I still haven't sorted this rig out fully yet, I keep running into problems, things I've forgot to install and stuff....but hopefully sorted soon!, then I'll need a glass of fine wine to celebrate!! .

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Woke up on the floor, ......When the Wife is visiting her sister for the weekend and I'm alone with 3 bottles of fine wine then thats not good! .......oh well paying for it today, thank heavens for aspirin and water.

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

You mean like this:

Its the fullscreen mode as apposed to the widescreen mode............I need water, aspirin and a bacon sandwich with brown sauce, extremely hungover

[Udate TeamSpeak]

TS3 Update works for me whithout a hitch.

I'm on now if you want to test it.

Thanks for the test Hawkx. ....enjoy the sunshine.

[TAW 2.0 Snaps]

Isn't that the light sourcing option?

I thought light sourcing was only for the cockpit shaddows?........I'm still getting used to this, is like a whole new TAW, not to mention Windows 7, I'm XP old school.

[superpak 4.2]

Clouds.....WOW!!.......feel bad but I'll keep you (superpak 4.2) on flash stick somewhere

[3dfx EF2000]

Yeah new machine......still really wanting EF2000 to come through and keep up with the times, I really respect that sim, I think anyone who is capable of modding (not me ) it should do!....its a great sim and you just know it could be better.

[superpak 4.2]

Its a black coolermasters box HAF 912 MID TOWER, I'll try get wall mounted monitor pic later, the GTX 570 has room and room for another!, I can't even imagine what size the fullsize coolermasters would look like side of my desk, but lets say the Wife passed this one so all is good!

[Udate TeamSpeak]

Hawkx you had any compatibility issues with the 3.03 update and SimHQ server?......I'm installing soon.

[Hotas]

Hey lipy I had a look at the Thrustmaster site, that TARGET software is no good for me with my T.Flight Hotas X , so JoyToKey my solution but TARGET good for your stick! , I must say this T.Flight Hotas X only ever needs to be calibrated once in Windows, it never loses calibration....well done Thrustmaster.

[3dfx EF2000]

Hey Mike I'll be able to run your dosbox better now i think?....I'll try it out when i get time, keep up the good work!.

[TAW 2.0 Snaps]

The Sun Glare looks improved?

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Well the program files folder on Windwows 7 has some strange security crap.

Programs aren't allowed to write to their config files stored there unlike Win XP and 98, hence why old programs break when installed there.

So a good idea these days is to keep as little as possible in that FUBARed up folder

Yeah I've also got to run it in Win XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode.

[Happy Birthday Stans!]

Yeah Happy Birthday Stans, I've got a large bottle of Jack Daniel's here, I'll drink it for you! ......have a great day.

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Just use 'Print Screen' button, then paste to Paint, but when uploading to imageshack make sure you keep the original resolution because imageshack default is to upload your image scaled down to 800x600 or something like that, make sure before you upload that you change imageshack upload setting so it keeps original pic rez.

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Yeah its not that bad really, haven't installed Teamspeak yet, but hoping new rig has solved my Teamspeak looping problem?

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Yeah thats because I was testing JoyToKey program, it won't run in program files folder, you have to put it elsewhere for it to work in windows 7 (64 bit).

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

1920x1200 night, seems ok.

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Oh I ran out of fuel!, thats the reason for gliding......as for who is responsible for the second pic?.....well i took the pic but guess you are responsible for the epic desert hill textures?.

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Accually if I look at Eagles pix here its not much different!?......maybe I'm just used to seeing TAW on my old laptop?, maybe thats why i think it looks odd?

[Where's my good graphics gone?]

Ok this is 1920x1200 in dgvoodoo, to be honest i'm starting to like the extra thickness of the HUD display, I't seems to have improved my aim!
