yet again i'm risking my neck to post, 'ninja'd ' my bros laptop once more, i get caught well.... parents will throw me out but it's a good job i'm a crafty bugger....
been looking at PC's for the past hour, $1700 is now gone, i've brought it down to the $1300 mark, yeah it'd be a bought thing, no it wouldn't be a Dell (unlike the blown up thing),i can't build a PC as Lego alone P*sses me off!) a formal ceremony was held for my old PC today... thing was the first thing i ever bought with wages i'd earned so it held a special place in my heart...
many of you didn't realise this but a few did, i was making my first patrols into the development arena, website was set up, team created, model started.... and then PC Died, meaning i had to initiate my 'omega protocol', in the event that i was to lose PC or be away for an extended period i hand control of my company over to my 2I/C, let me tell you about this while i can....
many of you will recall the hangar i built with 'SpartiSim' on the side, well SpartiSim is my development team name, our first project is the FK14 Polaris and Possibly the FK14 LeMans, it'd be FS9 initially but with FSX also in mind, great progress was being made, the model was started and research into the various gauges was well underway... unfortunately without me at the helm this project will slow right down, unless my 2I/C learns my tenacity...
as Andy said i do repaint for FS9 and FSX, because i cannot get max graphics in either i feel i've been letting you all down with the quality... which is where the Sh*t hot PC would come into play, being fast and with great graphics would mean my turnover would increase as i'd be waiting less for things to load, save etc... if i could run FSX at near max settings (or at max) that'd be brilliant as then i could be able to actually fly some of the things IRIS has been building and i've worked on,
pretty much at this stage i have convinced my parents that their construction and destruction work around the house is partially to blame so they're willing to put half towards it (so $650-700), and the rest they said "is your problem, get a job!" and trust me if i could i would, but the current market and fast approaching the festive season everywhere doesn't seem to have any vacancies... combine that to my erm... 'Dodgy' knee and i'm not mobile for too long a period... and my pride won't let me claim benefits off the Govt. (which in my opinion couldn't run a brewery with a bunch of Geordies, but i'll stop that political rant right there!), so fortunately i have about $650-700 to find instead of $1300... great...
still, keep flying! if you have to fly a missing man formation, as i say i don't know if/when i'll be back to repainting, FS9, FSX and developing, so to all.... and from the bottom of my heart, take care and enjoy it :salute:
Mike-Whisky.... Out.....
He can only access the internet at the moment via his iPhone which is fine for Facebook, Skype but not, apparently, SOH.
allways better as watching TV.
just kidding.... i'll get them at christmas, but i may just up-spec the PC and tell them the minus VAT cost... crafty bugger..... ain't i?
