    That's all folks! Mr B. as said does not wish to crow- or sqwawk for that matter, but did ask us to point out how the gods punish the unworthy - "Let us not fall about laughing be sorry for those in trouble - hah! Two competitors and butch female hospitalised, Competitor computer room burnt out (Nobby found with gas cans) Y'all don't mess with the Big B!

    Oh! it looks like Nobby must have been doing a spot of body building :P ( and whats that on his head? :whis: )

    Sorry to hear about the melt down :( .

    I would now like to save you from yourself buddy, and say get a i7 2600k, sorry but I know what your like and you will always be mulling it over in you mind if you buy somthing cheaper ;) .

    when you buy a mainboard and Ram, check all the forums to see what is compatible with what, the ASUS web site used to have a link for each mainboard model listing all the different make/types of Ram that would work with that particular board ;) . (from what i have read, some M/B and Ram combinations can be real lemons :( .

    When I changed my mainboard (I kept my old hard drive, just plugged it in to the new board) after the boot up Windows 7 detects a new board and asks you to type in you OP reg number, after that it gives you a new number to use (have a pen handy to write it all down and keep it with your disks, just incase you have to do a reinstal at some point in the future).

    At least you have a superb PSU now, so you can sell your old one on E-BAY, you may as well sell the 9550 as well, and DDR2 is expensive to buy these days, you may get a better price than think for it and that will go a long way to cover the cost of new DDR3 which is pretty darn cheap ATM :) .

  11. GET IN MY BELLY!. (FSDreamteams Ground Services X Demo)

    Oh Dear! now I've gone and done it, just tried out the Aerosoft AES and now think this one looks better TBH, and the detail of the models looks a bit more relistic IMO??? pitty AES it only does add-on airports and you don't get to see the cargo loading animation :( ,But a very handy thing about AES is that a few airports need "0" credits and Bornholm Island is one of them ;) .

    I am now thinking about buying a credit pack as I do have three Aerosoft airports that could be activated and that would give me about 5 credits left over incase I see something on sale in the future.

    Vaernes airport with the AES demo show below, I was blow away when I saw all this lot going on and it all sound great as well :) .

    Thanks for the comments, I agree it does make the boring old default airports look a bit more "Alive" ;) .

    Adding a couple more shots, showing the two types of pushback trucks that come with GSX.

    Last shot to showing that the loading platform is a bit to high for the JF Free 757, I would think that you should be able to ajust it in the GFX settings, although I did not see that mentioned on their website.

    Also I read on their forum, that if you have an aircraft the loads on the left, you are knackered! because those planes are not supported at all :( .

    After seeing Jim shots, of the 737 and "Aerosoft AES" I thought that I would try out the free demo for FSDreamteams GSX, it only lets you try it on 3 default FSX airports, so my shots are a bit on the dull side because of that, but I must say its a nice bit of eye candy TBH and works a treat with the default 747 and my little feelthere Embraer 195.

    Down side with GSX is that it only supports the most popular aircraft ATM, and I did try it on my JF Free 757-200, but on this plane the service doors do not open so it looks a bit funny as the catering guy walks through the side of the plane :( .

    All in all, I think that this could end up on my shopping list one day, and it will work with about 20,000 FSX airports, but $43 CND seems a high price to pay for a bit of eye candy that I may not use very often.

    Very nice Jim. :thum:

    Cockpit shots are superb, I'll put it on Sabres shopping list right away :whis: .

    Is that the Aerosoft airport sevices, I can see is the Gate shots??? was looking at the fsdreamteam one a couple of weeks ago, but at $43 CND it looks to bit a bit too expensive for me ATM :( .

  19. Landing on ships in AH?

    in Air Hauler

    Posted

    Graham, the "runway" is listed at zero ft alt also. I have no problem landing helicopters on specfic AI ships and a/c also of course on carriers - but of course they're not listed destinations. That one is listed with the concrete like there always seems to be at a water drome

    its odd

    ?? just rambling . .

    edit - and more - just loaded U206G float at that location FSX Only. It shows exactly same place as yours, and Plan-G also shows that location 61m x 0 concrete. No ship. Flew about 25 radius search and no sign either. So its not AH job generation time - its always there in FSX. There is the ship in boats/ai, texture, model and all, and 3 x AF2s for it, at PAS1 and also PAW1 and PAP2 but can't find a traffic file. Thats why it shows as location, but its a location for the Matanuska traffic, if there. Tough that AH (and FSX) thinks its an airport. There's a lot of these in FTX for AI ships and helicopters. Look around vancouver in Plan-G

    I believe its just about possible to have a "airport" on a moving AI but extremely complicated. But I don't think it would be landable with 61 x 0 even if you find it. Wouldn't be done for these numbers

    :( Mike

    Have not had time to load up FSX today, but it you was to crank up your ships/pleasure boats traffic to 100%, I wonder if the "ghost" ship will appear? (will try that over the weekend to see if it works ;) ).

  20. PanzerFodders Flying Circus...Announcements Board...

    FLEET EXPANTION.

    Mr PanzerFodders latest talks with his friends from Brazil have again turned out to be most fruitful, this time he managed to bag a very good condition ex Azul Embraer 195, this model can carry just over 3000 lb's more than the smaller E-175.

    Panzer said he will not be doing any custom paint jobs on his Embraer jets as he spent a small fortune on McPhat livery packages! and that he intends to get his moneys worth from them first.

    The new aircraft will be based at Pincher Creek for the time being, although with a cruise speed of 477 mph, it can reach our most Northern base at PAKT in about one hours flying time.

    Panzer has given the new Embraer to Test Pilot Randy Cowan as her new mount for the North American sector.

    At first Randy was a little worried when she saw the size of the thing, but after she dug her spurs in, and took hold of the controls she was soon slipping it in and out of tight spots all over the Pacific NorthWest.

    Randy Cowans ex Azul E-jet parked up at Pincher Creek.

    PROMOTIONS.

    A Legend in our time.

    It's a great pleasure announce that AI Pilot Madeleine Cowan has achieved the highest rank possible for pilots at PFC, the rank of Legend!.

    A large party has been planned for her tonight in the main cargo hangar at Pincher Creek, several local business owners, the CEO from SoHigh Air Services, and a high ranking officer from the RCMP will also be there for the celebrations.

    NEW FACES.

    We are pleased to announce the arrival of Capt "Reece Snyder" to the European sector, Reece who has been flying cargo contracts all over the world for many years has a skill rating of 100%, he should prove to be a most valuable member of the PFC European team.

    I was just looking at Brett's post above, it's amazing what Fish'n'chips with mushy peas and 25 grand shoved into a brown envelope can do for your popularity isn't it ;) .

    Nice update Mike. :thum:

    Happy that you have moved to a base where we can still keep an eye on you, ;)

    I just got Amy to fly a shipment of baby toys up to Whitehorse for you, just incase you have another little outburst and chuck all your toys out of the pram again :P

    PS: You do know what they say about Whitehorse don't you??? Ye-ha, ride "HIM" cowboy :P

    Now I'm begining too wonder if it was "Big Jon" Wayne round the back of the Hangar making beaver noises the other day :whis:

    Yup, does say the runway is 197ft long and concrete, that plane is over 10,000 lbs so it needs a bit longer :D

    No Mike,

    I loaded up FSX with the flight, too see if the ship was still there (there are several ships listed in the FSX airport menue, but when you load a flight you always end up in the drink?)

    Which brings me on too this, if you can see the ships in the FSX airports menue, why is it when you load a flight to take off from one of them, it has gone??? :( how the heck can can you take off from a ship in a helicopter if there is nothing there??? :wacko2: or is there something vital that I have missed??? :th_blush:

    Hi Gents.

    The two jobs (shown in red) just came up, just wondering if any of you have been able to land on the decks of boats in AH?.

    I have Tongass and PFJ installed and imported to AH, so my guess is that they are static ships and AH picked them up, although if you read whats in the box in the bottom right, it states that it's an AI vessel, hope that it's not moving as that could really b**ger things up :th_blush:
