That is so cool! Requiem is such a great guy! I hope to attend but I'm in the process of setting up my new PC (everything's working so far! I was sweating it). Hope to see y'all.

You like me! Right now YOU LIKE ME!

RIP Tom... Blue skies to you.

Got drum?

On the flying theme... This would be great with a formation of mudmovers down on the deck.

Feel free to delete this but the events in Las Vegas just make me want to say the chorus...

I love covers... and HAIM is just smokin Hot!

LMAO! Had to get my Freak ON And to continue the theme... Oaktown's HomeBoyee

Perfect background for BOM

It works but I think most multiplayer servers have disallowed it because some people have found a way to use it as a cheat (not sure what they were doing... I think they were able to see all planes as icons on the map?). It does work in SP and I've used it to see my gunnery in practice missions.

It's about time for a new PC. My current is long in the tooth (I can't remember actually how old it is... surely a sign to upgrade). I'm trying to decide to build or buy a turnkey and am asking for advice. I know several of you have built your own and/or are involved in the IT industry. I have no qualms about installing the hardware. Yes, I know about protecting from ESD from doing avionics work. What concerns me is the initial setup of the BIOS, OS, Software and drivers. Additionally, I would like to clone my existing machine's load to the new machine (I have a complete image backup in Acronis). This would be necessary even with a turnkey purchase machine. My question is should I upgrade the existing Win 7 to 10 before cloning? I suspect that some of the registry files in 7 aren't compatible with 10. Could I load 7 on my new build... not sure if the new MB will accept 7 or if 10 is required. A turnkey would certainly have 10 installed. So these are the components I'm considering from the PC Gamer Build guide: http://www.pcgamer.com/pc-build-guide-high-end-gaming-pc/ CPUIntel Core i7-7700K Asus Maximus IX Hero G.Skill RipJaws 4 32GBNvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti EVGA Supernova 850 watt G2 80 Plus Gold Samsung 960 Pro 512GB Corsair H100i V2Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5 Any thoughts?

Excellent vids Barton (I haven't actually screened them all yet) but... we miss you. are you going to come back from the auto sims?

Maybe it was the coal mining lobby? So they've got all my correspondence with Gov Jerry Brown and Dianne Feinstein? Guess I'll have to cancel dinner at the Governor's mansion.

I went to all SSD... they're relatively cheap. I do back-ups on a external HD. From what I understand, if an SSD takes a dump there are no ways to recover data whereas tech Gurus (and the Government) can recover at least some data from a spinner (HD).

Hi Peregrine3, I see from your application info that you're in Rhode Island. I lived there from 1984 - 1990. Working at RISD in the Glass Dept. Also got my Private Pilot's at North Central State Airport in Smithfield. I'm one of the several members that flies Cliffs of Dover. Hoping to fly with you.

A great idea. Wish I was better at video... maybe I'll spend some time learning. Just a thought though... maybe the title should be JG1 Videos in order to include other sims & etc?

Yeah, I know the story... but to hear it from the pilot's mouth (who has a refreshingly high, altogether not the Hollywood Basso Profundo, voice) is totally priceless. BTW, I currently work on an old Citation that is flown by a former Habu pilot... he's more like your armchair uncle than a "hair on fire" movie pilot. Thanks Maus!

Such a lovely blue... Congrats Baron!

Congrats to all... and thanks very much for the Knight's Cross! Can we award Mein also? It would have been a posthumous award if not for him.

Congrats all! Seems like a lifetime... and the blink of an eye. Proud to be a member of JG1!

Got any recommendations with a budget of $700 or less.

Motherboard is an ASUS P6X58D-E, 4 or 5 years old. So, I'm probably looking at a new board and chipset along with more RAM. I looked at Kabylake but I think it only supports Win10 and I prefer to stay with 7, 64 bit. I would like to stay with ASUS board but the selection is baffling.

6114 was copy / paste from DxDiag. Actually it is 6 gig. Looking at memory now. Know any good places?

If I was to throw a few hundred bucks at this machine what would be the best bet... more RAM or CPU? or something else?   Intel  i7 CPU  930  @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz Memory: 6144MB RAM GeForce GTX 970 500 Gig SSD (about 80% in use)
