    +1 on Aces and Falcon 3.0. I was also pretty particular to JetFighter -- while its cutting edge graphics and Soundblaster sound portrayed a more or less completely FLAT California, it at least had the decency to congratulate a successful bailout and extol the stimulating virtues of simulating. :)

    I may be BIOSed here but that may result in a bad command or file name. (Someping to think about. After all, you should never get me net start-ted.)

    BCCode when you can catch it? Smells like a possible driver issue at this stage. ---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ---------- Also -- can you boot into safe mode? (F8 after POST/BIOS startup and BEFORE Windows starts loading)

    Question Your biggest "Oh ****" moments with computers

    Boy, I can't seem to leave terminal servers alone. :shifty: Same setup as before, same reboot condition with a twist: malware cleanup with the added icing on the cake that the tool I used provided an unrequested, undesired and very much profanity-generating reboot on a very busy terminal...

    I know I'm funny. But my wife keeps telling me looks aren't everything. :shifty:

    News Germanwings Flight 4U9525 (Airbus A320) crash in Southern France (24 March 2015)

    That's alright. The (social) media has already condemned the copilot anyway (at least everywhere I've seen so far). :dry:

    Oh Hai, Forum

    Nah, not so much a need to catalog a list of personae non gratis; just remember the friendly rules: Have fun, always welcome a good intellectual debate conversation, and keep your feet off the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your . . . face. You'll do fine. :) Welcome! :hello:

    Question Your biggest "Oh ****" moments with computers

    I think at that point I would be furiously asking "What the hell is this test environment doing open to the wild?" . . .

    Question Your biggest "Oh ****" moments with computers

    I was in a remote desktop session on a terminal server updating a software suite while I was on the phone with the client. Didn't think about the fact I was on said terminal server when I cheerfully gave the application update engine permission to reboot the OS. Two seconds after I realized the...

    Some of what I did last summer. It's steadicam; the coaches were wobbly and I did the best I could. :) The railroad featured here is the Durango and Silverton narrow-gauge; it is entirely steam-powered (though they have diesel locos that are little more than switcher engines serving as backup)...

    And so begins the Great Adventure...

    Hey, cool! Are you thinking of specializing in an airframe in particular? (I mean I know it's a bit early to think of such things, but I was curious.)

    Gaming FSX coming to Steam, new version later

    Okay, so the PC I'm currently running on is hampered severely by the CPU (dual-core that only clocks in at 1.6 GHz). Nevertheless I was able to snap this up AND get it to run somewhat reliably. Left is a pic I took of the real thing: the Grand Teton mountain range. To the right is the same...
