SOH-CM-2013

The USAF has been trying to get rid of the A-10 ever since they took delivery of the first one. The aircraft serves a vital role, but it's not fast, it's not sleek and sure ain't sexy, and those are the attributes the USAF seems to desire. With sequestration, the USAF is deactivating the A-10 at an accelerated pace.

I buy my chairs through local office supply stores. My last chair proved to have too little padding in the seat, so it went to the office as I'm not actually at my desk all that much. My current chair felt great, but soon the seat padding began to flatten. I now have a seat cushion tied to the chair. Yes, you do get what you pay for and so far it seems that you don't get much of a chair in the under $200 range.

I did not get to see any of last night's activities. I'm not a fan of removing the pit road speed limit, it's a safety issue.:isadizzy:

I now live in a fairly quiet area. Regional jets often overfly me, but they are on descent into the KRIC, so the engines are at low rpm. I hear and see a good number of single and twin piston props using the local executive airport, King Airs, biz jets, and even a Piaggio P180 make regular visits. There is also a T-28 hangared there, I see and hear it on weekends. Here lately, I see and hear a lot of military helicopters. There has been such a huge increase in military operations that a local tv station did a story on it. There conclusion was that although there has been a 30% increase in military operations, there is nothing to see, so just ignore it and pretend they are not there.

I expect Disney's new Star Wars films will go the same way, a whole new image, mostly action, and trading on an established name. Hmmmm... maybe Disney will include zombies in their Star Wars galaxy too?

Is that awesome or what! :applause:

Geez! He shot himself? It's a sad day in the world of NASCAR.

I hear ya and I feel the same way. These days, I don't even feel that this is my country, it's some foreign land and I just happen to be a resident.

Nothing new here, they have been using Russian weaponry of all sorts for decades, now they have the money (U.S. money) to purchase new and replacement weapons, so they buy what they already understand and know how to use. Yes, I do see the irony, but it's just the way it is.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupidity. A stunt like this is akin to yelling "fire" in a theater.

That was true of FSX in its original form, but MicroSoft added multi-core support to FSX with FSX Service Pack 1. That is why so many people saw tremendous frame rate improvement and smoother performance when they installed SP1. Hyperthreading does not help FSX because hyperthreading simply takes each physical CPU core and divides it into two virtual cores. FSX only recognizes physical cores.

The consensus is that hyperthreading is all hype when it comes to MicroSoft's flight sims. Most people seem to get smoother performance with hyperthreading turned off.

Newman is a collision magnet, plain and simple.

Excellent advice.

Yeah, he really needs to learn how to focus on the important things.

I found an issue with night lighting and the exterior model. Lots of bleed through on the left side of the cockpit at the wing root.

Although that is a non-standard orientation, N8539 actually is painted just like that, so as far as this specific paint is concerned, it is correct.

Very nice! I did a pretty good amount of formation flying online with IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946. I found formation flying to require a tremendous amount of concentration with maintaining position, one hand on the stick, other hand on throttle, one eye on the leader, one eye on my other squad members, one eye scanning for bogies.

Finally! It's now available at FlightSim Pilot Shop! :jump:

It is!

How do you rate the sounds from within the cockpit and flight model? I'm curious to hear from a T-28 pilot before I start making changes to anything. And still waiting on FS PilotShop to post it.
