Nice one... At first I thought, "yeah, that's low but not THAT low". Then he cranked it over and my jaw dropped. I especially liked how the dust was still hanging in the air when the camera panned back to the left... :shock: Here's another one... R7pmFHhNSfE and another... JaWvUTe03To and another......

The cool thing they have added dogs on certain levels which seem to kill you more than the other players. The idea of dogs would be way cooler to me if you could actually play AS a dog. The satisfaction of racking up kills by mauling players to death would be right up there with knife kills and sni...

The picture with some planes and an explosion (smoke of it) looks interesting. A demonstration of an airbase attack during WW2? :roll: Sawamura...sorry for not responding to your post earlier. The Commemorative Air Force, who put the WOH show on, do re-enactments of WWII air battles. It's fairly co...

Hey Tex! I'm not sure if I'm going to make it to the San Antonio show myself. I really want to, but due to some personal issues that have come up I don't think it's in the cards. I will definitely be back in Houston next year, though. I'm glad you got to show off your show knowledge over the weekend...

No smoke on the Hi-Lo Hit is usually a by-product of the solo being late for the show-center hit. When that happens, they need to plug in full blower to make the hit and the smoke oil is vaporized and no smoke trail is seen. You'll notice that in the last frame you can see the smoke coming from the ...

I had a great time at WOH this year. One of the highlights of the weekend was getting to spend an afternoon with JonTex from the VBA. Johnny, I had a blast and I want to thank you again for showing me around and allowing me to hang out! You da man!! Hopefully we can do it again next year! Here are s...

Wings Over Houston Air Show this weekend!!

This weekend I am off for the Wings Over Houston air show. I attend every year and it is the closest "big" air show in my area. The Thunderbirds will be performing there this year and it will be my first opportunity to catch the demo this year. I will try to get some decent pics and post them when I...

Welcome to the forums, LeRoy! As Gunner said, feel free to ask any questions, but don't forget about your 24/7 forum friend, the often ignored "search" button. :lol:

As one of our favorite videos says, "this handy little fella will allow you to find threads from days gone by..." :lol:

I've bought four copies of LockOn Gold off of Half.com and have yet to get a bad one. I got all of them for under ten bucks each shipped... a couple of them I got for under 6 bucks shipped. Life is a crapshoot... to me dealing with the publisher at this point is more of a crapshoot than just finding...

I know this isn't an ideal fix, but if you check half.com you can usually find used copies of LockOn Gold for cheap. I've gotten copies in great condition for as little as 4 bucks plus shipping. If you're looking for a quick fix, that may be the way to go. There is no telling how long it could take ...
