It's been a while since I've posted over here, glad to see you are all still going strong. To date, flying with y'all is still the most fun I have ever had on a sim, though I have enjoyed making my mark on the WVAC since. www.flightxtreme.com Since trying out for the team, I have been accepted to Th...

Nice Formation Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsVPoaKE_TE Mancuso really is a great guy in real life. I remember being about 10 years old and standing in line with him for a hotdog at the Stockton Airshow. Here he narrates his own formation video explaining crowd perspective as it relates to different maneuvers. K...

The F-22 is big also...in comparison to say...an F-18. And, in ultra close combat you CAN see it the only way that matters: visually. You don't need radar for a canon ;-)

Lol and no lol for FSX got it already for a while, but still got a Nvidea GeforceFX 5200 ... and got a 2.2ghz from AMD, need to go working for new processor and new videocard, so FSX is much more beautifull, got like the max graphics without FSX getting into shocks while playing, only sometimes at ...

Something tells me that story isn't 100% true. That doesn't mean it's false though. I'm sure there are people, some in the military, some with access to JATOs, that really are that stupid. But hey, fully true or not, at least he soloed! Dude, you recognize that it says right in that post that it is...

Nice vid Only if they had planes like that on flight sim but a little more powerful. jonny Your wish has come true. Go to flightsim.com and download Don Halcolm's Sukhoi 31. The plane has the equivalent of an M-14PF engine in it which produces over 400hp stock. The model most pilots fly is a "p" mo...

That chick driving the Su-31 could be my wingman any day! :wink: Yeah, I'm a fan of hers as well. Her name is Svetlana Kopanina. For full video of her flying her Sukhoi 31, check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rnk7uPAKEo I have to admit I really like how her hair highlights the G's she's pull...

Yeah...I have trouble sleeping when I think about it. But my pc can't run FSX worth beans anyway...so for now it's all about making FS2004 all it can be...and then some. Eventually I KNOW I will bite the bullet though.

Video Hosting

Hey guys, I'm starting a virtual aerobatic site...and have started video editting purely for the purpose of illustrating what I am explaining. Any suggestions on where to host? mydeo.com has a nice set up...but it costs money once the trial ends. For now this what I have: http://virtualaerobatics.25...

I recognize that DX10 and Vista will make a difference...and so may some upgrades (although according to Microsoft SLI video will do NOTHING substantial for FSX)...but ultimately I fear that FSx may follow the ways of FS2000...I could put that software on my pc now and it still would be slow as heck...

I hope you used a good camera. Get that printed at 8X10, go to an airshow, and have him sign it! One of my buddies went down with me and took pics, but forgot his camera (some super nice digital thing)...so I had to use my 35mm instead. Can you tell I'm not too into cameras? :) I already got his au...

Burner, my understanding is that generally you can't. I'm really not sure how it worked out that way. But yes. I've spent the last week, since the flight, semi-obsessing over my bank book on how I can afford lessons. But someday soon I hope to begin flying tailwheel and, as swiftly as possible, tran...
