  1. I was a big fan of Diamond video cards. I have both the viper v550 and 770 which are based on Riva chipsets. Nvidia is the company behind the TNT, TNT2 and GeForce cards. Diamond merged with S3, and now do not push Nvidia chipsets in their products. Go to www.pricewatch.com and look for viper or v770. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  2. After patching correctly it does say 1.01 at the bottom of the intro screen. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  3. I will definitely be buying B-17 2 this fall. I can not wait for the online re-creation of great bombing missions. I will be waiting to see how the others pan out. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  4. Not exactly the same thing, but whenever I buy a model to build, I probably spend approx $50-75 in reference material. The Honest truth about games is that I have been burned so often that I buy with much more caution. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  5. This has got to be one of the best values for my money that I can remember. The random battle generator is incredible!! I give the game an enthusiastic thumbs-up!! ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  6. Thanks guys. I can not remember the last time a game has actually delivered anywhere near my expectations. As soon as my uncle upgrades he will be ordering. THANKS ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  7. Woohoo!! Here when I got home. Personal choice holiday tomorrow!! ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  8. I am in the Houston area and hope to see mine this afternoon!!!! I pre-ordered over a year ago also. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  9. I ordered last spring. The waiting!!! ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  10. I sent a message to Steve and he replied pretty quick. If you pre-ordered before the demo, you get the poster. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  11. Lurking all day long for over a year!! ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  12. Quote: Visual range was at least twice that of radar range in 1943. How does this take into account the British use of radar during the Battle of Britain? I have read many accounts of controllers mapping squadrons taking off, climbing to altitude, etc from France and Holland. I thought it was accurate up to about 20-30 miles. Is this a take-off on the movie "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever?" Don't bother, my wife made me watch it. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  13. I heard that CC5, due out this fall, will be the last in the series. That may have changed. Will CC5 still cover( err botch) D-Day? If there is a CC6, what campaign will they screw up? ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  14. use the search tool and put in average age. I think there have been several topics concerning this ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  15. 32, married, one in the oven, I/T specialist(slave) for Big Blue. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  16. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Lee: I love the FW-190. Please posts pics when it's done. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I will probably take about 2 months to finish. I can direct you to www.hyperscale.com for some very nice fw-190 pics. Enjoy ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  17. Fionn, If you want to go with water based acrylic paint, Testors has a line that reasonably well matches both Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht spec's. It is not the best paint, but it is great to start with. It is also very easy to remove!! Good Luck. I am currently deeply engrossed in several fw-190 d variants. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  18. Taking in to account the innacuracies, I still enjoyed the movie. I think that anyone who is actually checking details at the level discussed is assured of a certain level of dissatisfaction. _____________________________________________ Quote: U-571" is a clever wind-up toy of a movie, almost a trailer for a video game. Compared to "Das Boot" or "The Hunt for Red October," it's thin soup. _____________________________________________ I agree with the comparison to "DAS Boot", but I can not watch "Red October." Talk about filled with idiocy. Driving a boomer through the ridges at speed, when you are supposed to be a silent black hole!! And what is with this singing at the first dive. Maybe in a propaganda flick, but nowhere else. ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  19. I heard that Microprose will be releasing a version of Squad Leader this fall. Has anyone heard anything? ------------------ Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.
  20. It is obvious these guys are not Brit's. If they were, someone would be brewing tea while they watched!
  21. Having spent some time there myself, I think this is Ft. Hood. Relatively flat and dry, with plenty of scrub and mesquite. Drivers in Texas are nuts anyway
  22. Maybe if we just ignore them and don't waste time talking about them, they will go away. I doubt it, though.
  23. Anyone voluteering to replace Gene Siskel?
  24. I would recommend buying a name brand that is well known. I bought a guillemot TNT2 that consistently froze during CM, QIII, and Hidden & Dangerous. I found a Diamond V770 on a bargain rack for $99. It performs very well although the TNT2 is now one generation behind top-of-the-line.
