Speedbrake Pilot	posted 12-25- 11:47 AM Got cash from my mother - to be used for a CR-ROM Burner (CD-RW) which will be ordered this upcoming week while I am off work. Also my kids got me Jane's USAF, which although not a hard core simulation, it has been a ball flying the demo. The graphics are great. I'm looking forward to flying the A-10 which I am still burned up about Jane's cancelling the A-10 Warthog simulation as it is my favorite aircraft to move mud in. Of course just before Christmas I had upgraded my AGP card to a ge-Force-256 nVidia 32 MB and added a second PCI Diamond Monster 3D II 12 MB card. Now my video is up to there highest levels for both D3D, Open GL, and Glide (Voodoo). The dual DM3D IIs operate in SLI and equal a Voodoo III 16 MB card. Does this count??? ------------------ IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-25- 12:41 PM Spanky here... Cool guys Don't know much about scanners man sorry. I'm also going to get a CD-RW, Can't wait but all the stores are closed today Yeah I would say that counts Speed Anyone else? IP: Logged

Falck Pilot	posted 12-25- 09:43 PM I too am going to spend some of my xmas dough on a cdrw THe HP 8200i looks really nice plus its under 200 IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-25- 10:30 PM Spanky here... Boy CD-RWs are popular this year. Seems the athlon is gettting in the act 2. IP: Logged
Pang Pilot	posted 12-26- 01:19 AM New monitor here. 17" seems pretty standard, but that's what I'm up to now. Just couldn't see a 19" on my tiny desk. Pang IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-26- 08:19 AM Spanky here... mmm... 17" monitor I'm using a 15" but its pretty good. One of these days I'll get a 17", I got lots of other parts to get first though. IP: Logged
Mighty Pilot	posted 12-26- 11:54 PM You should really consider a 17" or a 19". That extra screen space really changes the way you use a computer. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 12-27- 12:07 AM Spanky here... Yep for sure mighty it would rock but this is a borrowed computer and its not too fast so a good start for me right now is a MB chip ram and case then build from there monitor could be the last thing i get Mad Dog might pick up a 17" and we will use it on this and mine till he gets more parts for his IP: Logged
Jaguar Pilot	posted 12-27- 12:21 AM I didn't get jack for my computer!...I wanted FS2000.... But I think we will all agree that it's better that I didnt get it, LOL.... But I did get a nice GERMAN 1/32 scale Huey (It's like 16 inches long! ), I have no idea where my mother found this German model at. Then today I went to a local model store that was having a huge Boxing Day sale and bought a 1/35 scale Super Cobra and a 1/35 scale Kiowa.........Won't be doing much OP for a little while Well thats the extent of my Christmas.... ohhh almost forgot the Homer simpson tree decoration I got (That guy is awsome!). Now you all be carefull of Y2K! Unplugg all your toasters so they don't blow up! :� ------------------ Cheers! Jaguar www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Stark Pilot	posted 12-27- 01:47 AM Well, no computer loot but I did do quite well this year - $1600 worth of SCUBA equipment from my entire family!! I just got certified as a diver about 3 weeks ago - and let me tell you, the water in Monterey Bay in December is not what you might call warm!! Anyhow, just thought I'd share.. Stark BTW - If you've never dived, I highly recommend looking uo your local diveshop and inquiring about an Experience-Scuba dive. It's a hand-held guided dive on full SCUBA - usually costs about $10-20 and is an amazing experience!! IP: Logged
Jaguar Pilot	posted 12-27- 05:05 AM My FIRST non-pool dive was in Hawaii! Now that was amazing! ------------------ Cheers! Jaguar www.fshangar.com IP: Logged
Raider Pilot	posted 12-27- 09:47 AM Stark, I've been diving since '87. I have had some great underwater experiences. It is a whole new world down there. Good luck to you. Jaguar, Im still playing the music from your Huey post. LOL Got a new scanner for Christmas. Now my computer is complete (Except for upgrades of course) IP: Logged
Zurawski Pilot	posted 12-27- 10:29 AM Mr. Claus left me a brand-new ... Dell PIII 500 with 128 Meg's o' RAM ... 13 Gig HD ... NiVida GeForce256 ... And Mama Zur got me Janes F15 ... ...ARH..ARH..ARH!!!! IP: Logged
nealg Pilot	posted 12-27- 08:20 PM Great, Zur!! Does this mean you have to recalibrate your joystick??!! Kidding!!!!!!!! ------------------ nealg=FC= IP: Logged
d0gs Cadet	posted 12-29- 01:07 AM Got a 19' monitor. Its kinda interesting to see some of the flight sims in high res. Fighter squadron will go to 1800 x 1300 or there abouts but gets only about 30 fps--looks absolutely gorgeous tho. Janes USAF looks stunning in 1600 x 1200 any higher and it gets single digit fps. A bigger screen seems to give an increased "periferal vision" impression. Playing back the Mig Alley recorded missions in Monocrome is awesome. IP: Logged
Lector General	posted 12-30- 05:05 AM Yep...some new stuff here (I had to invest some parts of my yearly bonus... ) New GeoForce256 DDR-DVI card (Hercules Prophet)...uhh..fast...and nice a new Color Printer (Epson Stylus Photo 660) and a brand new CD writer RW: HP 9210 (SCSI, 8x, 4x, 4x)...realy fast and sure! ...next will be a fast 27GB HD...we will see... C-ya! Lector IP: Logged
